The Man’s Decree

After Gary and his family were seated on the couch, Franklin served them coffee right away. He even shouted toward the bedroom, “Maria, Mr. Chance is here. Come down quickly.”

“Franklin, it’s all right. I’m sorry to have interrupted you on such short notice.”

Gary was embarrassed when he saw how welcoming Franklin was.

“Don’t be a stranger. After all, we haven’t seen each other for many years. Therefore, just make yourself at home. I have also made lunch reservations at a hotel so that we can have a wonderful meal together,” Franklin suggested as he poured some coffee for Gary.

At that moment, Maria stepped into the living room. She was dressed in sports attire and had her hair tied in a ponytail, making her look youthful and vibrant.

After sweeping her gaze around, she finally fixated her gaze on Kai. However, she noticed that he was dressed shabbily and looked like a country bumpkin instead of the son of a powerful government official.

“Maria, greet Mr. Chance,” Franklin reminded her.

“Mr. Chance, nice to meet you!” Maria called out insincerely. In fact, the contempt she had for them was written all over her face.
