The Man's Decree novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 The Stupid Son

Josephine was taken aback by the venom in Tyrion’s words. Unease grew in her chest as she asked hesitantly, “What are you talking about, Tyrion?”

“What else could I be talking about?” Anger distorted Tyrion’s features as he continued, “I’ve been courting you for years to no avail. Now, you’ve fallen for an ex-convict of all people! Tell me! How am I worse than Jared?”

He grabbed Josephine’s elbow in the middle of his impassioned speech.

“Tyrion! Who told you all this?”

Josephine finally identified the crux of the matter. Someone must’ve tipped him off. Tyrion knows about everything in Horington despite being in far-off Summerbank.

Tyrion tightened his grip on her elbow and demanded, “That’s none of your business! Tell me! How is Jared better than me?”

Josephine winced in pain and yelled, “Let me go! You’re hurting me! You’re nothing like Jared!”

She shot him a disgusted glare for good measure.

“B*tch!” Tyrion barked and slapped Josephine’s face. Her cheek throbbed painfully.

Tyrion hissed, “Listen carefully! You’re going to witness Jared’s death at my hands today! No one can steal my woman away from me!”

“I’ll never forgive you if you hurt Jared!” Josephine threatened.

Tyrion scoffed, “Hmph! You’re only fueling my determination to torture Jared!”

He turned around and left the room, slamming the door behind him.

Josephine banged on the door and shouted, “Let me go, Tyrion! Let me out of this place! I swear, I’ll kill you if you hurt Jared!”

He glared at the servant who had informed him of the visitors. Why didn’t he report things more clearly? If I had known Jared and Tommy were here, I wouldn’t have rallied my entire family to confront them!

The servant felt wronged as well. Old Mr. Scott was the one who rushed off before I finished explaining things!

Jared looked downright hostile as Tommy demanded fiercely, “Where’s your son Leyton? Get his *ss out here right now!”

Yoel’s heart almost stopped when he heard Tommy’s words. What has my stupid son done now?

“Mr. Lewis, my son isn’t at home. My men have been trying to contact him as well,” Yoel sputtered.

He had indeed attempted to call Leyton earlier for their family meeting. After several failed attempts, Yoel had given up and begun the meeting without Leyton.

“Who the h*ll do you think you’re fooling?” Tommy swore as he rushed forward and grabbed Yoel by his shirt collars.
