The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 111

“Are you saying that I'm not worthy of you?” Xavier questioned.

“What do you think?” Josephine retorted.

All of a sudden, he gave a self-derisive laugh. “Yes, I'm not worthy of you with my lowly status. But why would you rather date someone who had been to prison instead of giving me a chance? Am I even lowlier than an ex-convict?”

He abruptly became emotional, and his tone turned harsh.

Upon hearing that, Josephine frowned. “Whomever I date has nothing to do with you, and you don't have the right to question me about that.”

“Do you know the kind of person Jared is?

Not only is he an ex-convict, but he's also a Lothario! Do you know that he already has a girlfriend? You've been duped!”

As Xavier spoke, he fished out his phone and showed her the photos of Jared with Hilda.

Josephine stared at the photos, her expression turning increasingly grim until her brows scrunched deeply.

Xavier inwardly crowed with delight when he glimpsed her expression and immediately added fuel to the fire, saying, “This girl is known as Hilda Wallace, and she's his girlfriend. They're childhood sweethearts and are now colleagues at Sentiment Chemical Limited. It was even him who recommended her to work there!”

Josephine said nothing, merely staring at the two people in the photo silently.

“My feelings for you are genuine, Josephine. I'll never dupe you. What's so great about him? How is he better than me?”

Xavier continued pouring out his heart to her.

Slap!

Just a moment after he had finished speaking, Josephine slapped him across the face hard without warning.

That blow blindsided Xavier, and he gaped at her incredulously. He could not fathom why she struck him.

At that precise moment, Jared was having lunch with Hilda and Maria. Due to the short lunch break, they could only eat at a roadside stall near the office.

When he saw it was a phone call from Josephine, he promptly got up and went to the side to take the call.

“Where are you?” Josephine demanded, cutting straight to the chase.

“I-I'm at home!”

Jared did not want her to know that he was presently working at her company. Besides, he was not planning to work there for long and would resign after gathering all the herbs and finding the spiritual brush to restore his mother's eyesight.

That was because he wanted to focus on training as the fifteenth of July was drawing ever closer. If his capabilities did not reach the required standard, he would not be able to go to Nameless Island.

Hearing his answer, Josephine tried her best to suppress the fury blazing within her. “At home? Okay, stay at home then!”

After saying that, she hung up on him.
