Chapter 168


    Xavier made a call to Zayne.  Zayne, tell Jared toe to my office. Zayne, who was still sitting in his


    office and fuming, was surprised when he received Xavier’s call.


    “Zayne, why is Mr. Jennings looking for Jared?” asked Maria.


    “How would I know? Zayne frowned, as he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.


    “Is Mr. Jennings giving all themission to Jared? I’ve already noticed that Jared is somehow


    associated with him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given Jared such a good opportunity!” Maria said


    furiously.

    “All right. Stop nagging. I’m in a bad mood now!” Zayne shot Maria a re before leaving the office and


    walking to Jared’s desk.


    “Jared, Mr. Jennings instructed you to go to his office. It’s probably about the contract. You know very


    well what you should say to him. If Maria and I hadn’t built a good rtionship with Cosmic Chemical,


    would you have managed to secure the contract so easily?” ncing at Zayne, Jared gave a sneer.


    Without saying anything else, he got up and left.


    Zayne was furious when he saw Jared’s reaction. He couldn’t help but murmur, “Hmph! If it weren’t for


    Maria’s rmendation, you wouldn’t be able to remain with thispany. How dare you oppose


    me? I’ll make you regret it sooner orter.”


    After Jared arrived at Xavier’s office, the secretary wanted to inform Xavier about Jared’s arrival first.


    However, Jared directly pushed the door open and entered, not giving the secretary a chance to stop


    him.


    Mr. Jennings, he… he insisted on barging in!” the secretary exined to Xavier anxiously. Staring at


    Jared, Xavier waved his hands at the secretary and instructed, “Get out. Without my permission, no


    one is allowed to enter.”


    The secretary nodded and left, closing the door behind her.


    “Take a seat.”


    Xavier pointed at the chair in front of him. Jared did not stand on ceremony and directly sat opposite


    him. Just like that, they stared at each other for a minute in total silence.


    “Why did you look for me? Speak now. I’m busy!” Jared urged, since Xavier kept staying quiet.


    “Jared, I’ve already investigated your background. You’re just an ordinary guy and an ex-convict. Why


    do you deserve to be liked by Josephine? Why do you deserve to be the chairman? Why?” Xavier


    red at Jared intently. He could not understand why Josephine liked Jared but not him, who had


    studied overseas and was a top student.


    If Jared was a rich heir or the son of a politician, Xavier would not have felt so aggrieved. However,


    Jared was just an average man who was even an ex-convict. Despite that, Josephine would rather like


    Jared over himself. Xavier could not figure that out no matter what. Jared smirked teasingly.


    “Liking someone doesn’t require all those reasons. Josephine simply likes me. What can you do about


    it?”


    His expression and tone immediately provoked Xavier.


    Despite his prior efforts to calm himself down, he lost his temper at that moment, “Jared, I want you to


    leave Horington right now and stay away from Josephine. Don’t evere back. Otherwise, I’ll make


    you regret it!” Xavier bellowed with all his might as he stared at Jared with wide eyes.


    “Regret it?” Jared smirked coldly.


    “I’ve never regretted anything before. Furthermore, someone like you has no right tomand me, let


    alone threaten me.” “I’ll show you whether I have the right tomand you.”


    As Xavier spoke, he suddenly whipped out the gun in the drawer and aimed it at Jared. Since it was


    Xavier’s first time pointing a gun at someone, his hands trembled terribly.
