“Frederick, what are you trying to imply? Not everyone who went to prison is a bad person. Please don't simply make a judgment like that...”
Josephine was displeased as she knew Frederick was jeering at Jared.
Frederick's expression darkened when he saw how protective she was toward Jared. “Josephine, why are you attracted to this ex-convict? Why do you keep siding with him? Don't you know my feelings for you? If we get together, your family will prosper forever in Horington. Imagine that. Wouldn't that be nice?”
“Frederick, even though many people envy your status, I'm different. I'm not interested in you. Do you understand?”
Josephine cast an annoyed look at Frederick.
“Why? Why is that?” Enraged, Frederick grabbed Josephine's arm. “Which part of him is better than me? He's an ex-convict! How could he possibly be better than me?”
His face contorted with rage as he thundered at her.
Josephine furrowed her brows from the pain. “Frederick, you are hurting me!”
As if he had lost his mind, Frederick maintained an iron grip on her, unwilling to let go.
“Fred...”
William's expression hardened at that scene. That's crossing the line! How could he injure my daughter before me!
“You're courting death!”
At that moment, Jared narrowed his eyes as he exuded a menacing aura.
A second later, he clutched Frederick's wrist forcefully.
Feeling an excruciating pain shooting up his wrist, Frederick shrieked, “Argh!”
His grip on Josephine's arm loosened, and she seized the opportunity to hide behind Jared.
The next second, Jared thrust his arm forward, intending to land a punch on Frederick.
William's heart sank, and he quickly yelled, “Jared, please don't...”
Frederick's the mayor's son. The consequences will be unimaginable if he gets beaten.
Moreover, if Jared doesn't hold back his strength and accidentally kills him, we'd be doomed!
