The Man's Decree novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 I Will Pay

“F*ck, who drank the liquor that I gave Mr. Chance? Step forward and identify yourself!” Tommy roared as he glared at Benedict and his family.

His ferocious glare scared everyone out of their wits as the blood drained from their faces. Collectively, they looked toward Simon.

“D-Don’t look at me! I didn’t do anything. It’s just everyone’s assumption. The theft has nothing to do with me at all!” Utterly terrified, Simon’s legs nearly gave away.

After all, Tommy was a man with a feared reputation. Provoking him was like poking the bear with a stick.

“So you were the one behind this! Who told you to drink the wine?” In two large steps, Tommy lunged at Simon and grabbed him by the collar. “Spit out the wine you drank right now!”

Bam!

Without warning, Tommy slammed his fist against Simon’s abdomen. The sudden impact caused the latter to shriek in agony.

“M-Mr. Lewis, please stop hitting him! He’s my son. For my sake, please stop!” In a haze of panic, Devin rushed forward and tried to stop Tommy.

“F*ck you! You should know your place! You are nothing more but a health minister. The audacity of you to try and stop me!” Tommy kicked Devin aside and continued to beat Simon up.

As Simon’s anguished wails filled the air, the Chance family cowered fearfully in the corner.

“Mr. Lewis, how much is the wine? I’ll pay for it,” Devin blurted out.

He was afraid that his own son would be beaten to death.

“The liquors were limited editions of Sauvignon Blanc. One bottle costs five hundred thousand. Altogether, both bottles cost one million!” Tommy snarled in reply.

“O-One million?” Devin was utterly dumbfounded.

Since Devin merely worked as a health minister, one million was not a small amount of money to him.

Tommy nodded in response. “The final total amounts to two hundred thousand!”

When Stella heard that, she cried out in shock, “Two hundred thousand? What on earth did we eat to owe two hundred thousand?”

“Shut up!” Benedict snapped at her.

Tommy narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter? Are you implying that it’s too much? Do you want me to count it out in detail for you?”

“Not at all; we’ll pay for it right now.” Benedict shook his head frantically. In haste, he pulled his phone out to pay the bill.

As Benedict sent the money, he felt a stab of regret. If I knew that such a thing would happen, I wouldn’t have ordered so much food. I only wanted to humiliate Jared. Hence, I placed my orders without hesitation. I practically shot myself in the foot!

“Mr. Lowe, it seems like Horington has quite a high paycheck. Even a lowly health minister and office administrator like the two of them are capable of forking out a few hundred thousand without even batting an eye,” Jared remarked as he whirled around to look at Glen.
