“Dad, that b*stard—”
“Shut up!” Before Leyton could finish, Yoel shot him a fearsome glare, frightening him into silence.
“Mr. Scott, I know Jared very well because we were together in university. He doesn't have any sort of background or support. His dad used to be a government servant but became a street cleaner after he was sacked. So, don't let him frighten you,” Sandy explained while straightening her clothes.
“You know sh*t!” Yoel shot her a cold glance. “You stupid b*tch! If not for you, Leyton wouldn't be in this condition. You're nothing but a jinx!”
Yoel stormed off the moment he finished. In truth, he had objected to their wedding as he felt that Sandy's family wasn't up to his standards. Unfortunately, Sandy somehow managed to bewitch Leyton to the extent of getting him to marry her.
Sandy's face purpled in anger after being scolded by Yoel. Nonetheless, she didn't dare say a word of protest. This was the price she had to pay for marrying into a rich family.
“Damn that Jared! I'll never forgive him!” Sandy hissed through her clenched teeth after Yoel was gone.
She didn't dare offend Yoel or Leyton. Hence, her only option was to vent her frustrations on Jared.
Back at Walter's villa, he, Tommy, and Jared were drinking happily together. They had enjoyed each other's company throughout the entire lunch.
Everyone present was envious of Jared for being able to share the table with such illustrious men despite his young age.
“Mr. Chance, today's meal is just a casual one. But tomorrow, I plan to hold a feast at Glamor Hotel, where I'll be inviting distinguished guests from both the political and business establishments of Horington. During the dinner, I'll sing your praises!” Walter declared proudly.
Walter's intention was clear. He wanted to open doors for Jared in the city. After the banquet, no one in Horington would ever dare mess with Jared again.
Despite how generous the invitation was, Jared intended to reject it. He wanted to keep a low profile and focus on his training instead. After all, his aim was to wait for the fifteenth of July.
Before he could respond, Tommy preempted him, “In that case, I would like to thank you, Mr. Grange, on behalf of Mr. Chance. Your recommendation will be of significant assistance to Mr. Chance's affairs in Horington.”
