The Man's Decree novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 A Gift Of Wine

Jared was left frozen in his spot for a few seconds before his expression darkened, and his aura changed drastically to resemble that of a demon. Throwing daggers at Benedict, he grimly uttered, “What did you say? I dare you to repeat yourself!”

Benedict was initially slightly freaked out by his gaze but was quick to come around. Fuming, he yelled, “Darn it! You’re a damn bastard. You don’t belong to the Chance family—”

Crash!

“Shut up, Benedict!” Gary smashed a glass on the floor, flushing angrily. His body shook a little as he glowered at Benedict. “Say another sentence, and I’ll…”

Seeing his brother’s sudden outburst of emotions, Benedict immediately shut his mouth and sat back down on the seat.

It turned out that Gary still had his dignity as an older brother. Although Benedict had always looked down on Gary and his family, he would still be intimidated when the latter lost his temper.

At that point, Jared’s murderous aura filled the entire room, leaving everyone afraid to make any noise.

Had Benedict not been his uncle, he would have long sent him to meet his maker.

“Jared, Benedict must be too angry that he couldn’t think straight and said that nonsense. Come, sit down now.” Hannah quickly pulled Jared back to his seat.

On the other hand, Gary heaved a sigh, lit up another cigarette, and started puffing away one after another.

Several moments later, the dishes they ordered earlier arrived and filled the whole table. There were also two bottles of limited-edition Sauvignon Blanc wine.

The two families were astonished as they exchanged glances. No one has ordered white wine; why would they serve that?

Javier stopped the waiter and asked, “Excuse me. Did you serve this wine wrongly?”

A tinge of envy flashed across Gary’s and Hannah’s faces at the sight of that family chatting and laughing away.

The only one that remained expressionless in the room was Jared. He knew clearly that the two bottles of wine were not a gift for Simon, yet he did not expose him. All that was flooding his mind were those remarks made by Benedict earlier.

He could barely believe what he had just heard. Am I really an adopted child?

Instantaneously, the incident where Draco held his hand and checked his pulse while they were in prison crossed his mind.

He recalled how Draco had told him that he was certainly not a child from an ordinary family due to the bloodline he carried.

However, Jared had never heeded Draco’s words since his parents were only ordinary folks.

At that point, his mind was in turmoil. Seeds of suspicions concerning his background began to grow within him because he knew Benedict would never say something like that without any reason whatsoever.
