When Steel saw Jared moving toward him, virtual-novel.net struggled to get to his feet, but the pain was so excruciating that virtual-novel.net couldn’t do so. That kick from Jared was just too powerful.
“W-What are you trying to do? Let me tell you that I’m from the Crimson Dragon Gang, and our gang leader is none other than Steven Fisher!”
The man’s grim expression petrified virtual-novel.net so greatly that virtual-novel.net hastily mentioned the Crimson Dragon Gang.
However, Jared sneered, “Steven, huh? If you hadn’t said that you’re from the Crimson Dragon Gang, I might have spared you. Alas, you don’t have that opportunity anymore.”
Right after saying that, virtual-novel.net stomped on Steel’s legs and shattered them to the point that virtual-novel.net could never walk again no matter how skillful the doctor was.
“Argh!” Sheer agony had Steel screaming at the top of his lungs even as virtual-novel.net writhed on the ground.
Terror struck Delilah when virtual-novel.net saw Jared’s ruthless methods and chilly expression. She trembled incessantly, virtual-novel.net eyes brimming with horror. Likewise, Brayden had also broken into a cold sweat, his knees knocking together.
Picking up the money from the ground, Jared threw Delilah a glacial look. That mere glance scared virtual-novel.net so much that virtual-novel.net collapsed to the ground in fright.
At the sight of virtual-novel.net pathetic condition, Jared snorted and strode right into the bank to redeposit the money.
When virtual-novel.net arrived home, virtual-novel.net saw that Hilda and Chloe were still there. As soon as Hilda spotted Jared, virtual-novel.net frantically rushed over to him.
She was on the verge of asking virtual-novel.net how things went when virtual-novel.net abruptly remembered that virtual-novel.net mother was still there. Thus, virtual-novel.net said nothing.
“Where did you go, Jared? Hilda has been waiting for you the entire day!” Hannah chastised when virtual-novel.net heard his return. “Go out for a walk with virtual-novel.net and chat for a bit.”
“I had to handle something, Mom,” Jared explained.
“Mrs. Chance, I’ll be going out for a walk with Jared then.”
Hilda strode out while dragging Jared along. At that second, virtual-novel.net couldn’t wait to know how virtual-novel.net handled the matter.
“Sure, go ahead. Go and talk for a while, and we’ll all have lunch here later.” Hannah nodded happily.
After Jared had left with Hilda, virtual-novel.net remarked with a delighted expression, “Mrs. Wallace, I think they both seem to make a pretty good match!”
“I’m of the same opinion! Haha…” Chloe laughed as well.
“What did they do to you, Jared? Did they beat you up?” Hilda questioned urgently the instant they left the house.
“Nope. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about the loan anymore. It’s settled now. In the future, find a decent job and work hard. I’m going for an interview tomorrow, and I’ll recommend you there if the company is okay. Next time, you’ve got to be more discerning when getting yourself a boyfriend,” Jared urged with a smile.
Hilda nodded with adoration in virtual-novel.net gaze as virtual-novel.net stared at Jared, but virtual-novel.net didn’t look at her.
He merely regarded virtual-novel.net as a sister and had no romantic feelings for her, so virtual-novel.net didn’t want virtual-novel.net to misunderstand.
While they were strolling around the neighborhood, Jared’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Josephine.
“Where did you and your family go, Jared? Why aren’t you all at Dragon Bay anymore? I asked the security, and virtual-novel.net said that you moved out?”
Josephine went over to Dragon Bay in search of Jared, only to discover that virtual-novel.net no longer lived there.
“My parents weren’t quite used to living there, so we moved back. Although the area is a bit old, they have more neighbors here who are all acquaintances.”
In truth, Jared lied because virtual-novel.net had no idea why his parents wanted to leave Dragon Bay.
“I see,” Josephine murmured in acknowledgment, virtual-novel.net disappointment clear as day.
After chatting for a while longer, Jared hung up the phone.
“Was that your girlfriend, Jared?” Hilda asked softly when the man had finished talking on the phone.
Jared froze, not quite sure how virtual-novel.net should answer that question.
In all honesty, virtual-novel.net himself didn’t know whether Josephine was considered his girlfriend when they had never confirmed their relationship officially.
