The Man's Decree

Chapter 285 Sealing His Doom

Yoel paled and babbled, “I’m not lying, Mr. Lewis! I swear to God I’m telling the truth! I really couldn’t reach my son!”

“Let him go, Tommy,” Jared ordered.

The old man’s fear was proof enough of his honesty.

Tommy released Yoel, much to the latter’s relief. Yoel asked cautiously, “Mr. Chance, Mr. Lewis, what has my foolish son done to offend you both this time?”

“Leyton provoked us and the Sullivans by kidnapping Ms. Josephine Sullivan!” Tommy spat.

Yoel almost fell from shock.

He sputtered furiously, “T-This fool! How dare he kidnap Ms. Sullivan?”

Jared and Josephine’s relationship was public news at this point, and Leyton’s actions were hardly that of a clueless man. The Sullivans were the wealthiest family in Horington, and they maintained a tense but civil relationship with the Scotts. If Leyton had masterminded Josephine’s kidnapping, the Sullivan family would have no qualms about using their massive wealth to ruin the Scott family.
