The Man’s Decree

Leyton cast his gaze over when he heard Sandy’s remark, only to see that it was indeed Kai. His eyes glinted coldly, and he strutted over.

Seeing that, Sandy hurriedly trailed after him, glowering at Kai with resentment burning hotly in her eyes. The incident at the mall earlier remained vivid in her mind.

“Do you think you’re worthy of being here, Kai? Are you aware of the statuses of the people here today? Do you think you’re an elite just because you’ve put on new clothes?” Leyton regarded Kai with an air of arrogance.

On the contrary, Kai merely threw him a chilly look before ignoring him altogether.

“Where’s your domineering demeanor back when you were at the mall earlier, Kai? And where’s your beautiful Ms. Sullivan? Why didn’t she bring you in? Could it be that even she couldn’t get in? Pah!” Sandy again spat at Kai, convinced that he wouldn’t dare order her to wipe it off with Leyton there this time.

At that, Kai’s face went glacial. “Mark my words. You’ll be licking it off like a dog later!”

“Haha!” Laughing uproariously, Sandy spat at him again. “Who do you think you are that I’ll be licking it off you? You’re just an ex-convict! What’s so great about you?”

Then, she raised her voice and hollered, “Everyone, look here! An ex-convict is all dressed up to attend the banquet! He doesn’t even know his place!”

Her shout attracted many people who all gathered to watch the show.
