The Man’s Decree Chapter 85

Franklin welcomed Zayne with a smile as well. “Zayne, it’s all thanks to you! Now my company is safe.

We should have a few drinks together to celebrate.” Zayne was getting arrogant upon seeing how

Franklin’s attitude toward him had changed. “It’s just a small matter, Mr. Saunders! As Mrs. Saunders

said, we’re family now!” Zayne sat down next to Franklin pridefully. Although Zayne knew that he had

nothing to do with collecting the debt for Franklin, he accepted the recognition anyway.

He had to take the opportunity to make a good impression out of himself. “Zayne, I had no idea you

knew Mr. Lewis! You should’ve seen the look on the owner of Glamorous Designs’ face when he came

with my money! He was so scared that he almost kneeled before me. It was so satisfying to watch!”

Throughout the years, Franklin had never been treated with such respect. “Just let me know if your

company needs help with anything from now on, Mr. Saunders. Although I’m just a departmental

manager, there’s nothing I can’t deal with in the whole of Horington,” Zayne gloated shamelessly. He

wasn’t worried about getting exposed because he knew that no one at the table knew Tommy. “All right.

From now on, I’ll rely on you for all the company matters. Since Maria is my only daughter, whatever I

have now will definitely be passed down to you in the future.” Franklin’s admiration for Zayne had

grown greatly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Saunders. I’ll love Maria unconditionally!” Zayne nodded excitedly.

“Enough talking. I’m starving! Could we please have our food now?” Maria pouted. “A while more,

okay? I’ve invited Mr. Chance and his family as well. They should be here soon!” Franklin exclaimed.

“Why would you invite outsiders to our family dinner?”

Maria’s face turned sullen when she found out that Jared was invited to the dinner. “Silly girl! Mr.

Chance had saved my life before!” Franklin glared at Maria before continuing, “Speaking of which, how

did Jared’s interview go?” “Mr. Saunders, it was a success. I worked my magic as the departmental

manager!” Zayne took credit for Jared’s interview brazenly. “Thank you, Zayne!” Franklin gratefully

looked at Zayne.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Jared waltzed in with his family. “We’re sorry for being

late!” Gary apologized. “It’s fine, Squad Leader! We’ve just arrived too.” Franklin welcomed them

warmheartedly. Jared was startled when he saw Zayne present at the dinner.

However, he didn’t say a word. On the other hand, Zayne stared at him and taunted, “Hey, Jared, we

meet again! Did you know that Maria and I had to make excuses on your behalf with the staff? All

because you disobeyed the company rule.” Upon hearing that, Gary glared at Jared and asked,

“What’s going on, Jared?”

“Exactly, Jared. What’s going on?” Hannah added. Franklin was equally puzzled as well. “Upon his

successful interview, he was supposed to buy everyone dinner! It’s a long-standing departmental

tradition. Instead, Jared said he had no money, and he just left. It was so embarrassing for Zayne and

me,” Maria raged.
