The Man’s Decree

Chapter 158 As soon as Jeffrey stepped out of his office, he saw a man and a woman walking toward him. The man’s arm was wrapped in a bandage. They were Leyton and Sandy, who also came to discuss business. Negotiations between Cosmic Chemical and the Scott family were nearly complete, and it was safe to say that the contract was secured. Not only that, but many of the mid-level staff at Cosmic Chemical had also obtained benefits from the Scott family. Noticing that Leyton had come in person, Jeffrey immediately ran over with a flattering smile. “Mr. Scott, I never thought that you would personally come here!” In fact, there was no need for Leyton, the heir of the Scott family, to come in person. Still, he hurried over with an injured arm only because he could not wait to humiliate Jared. “Has the representative from Sentiment Chemical Limited arrived?” Leyton inquired. Jeffrey nodded. “Yes. The person is now in my office.” “Really?” Leyton’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Take me to him. Is he a young man?” “No, it’s a girl. A former schoolmate who came over to ask for my help.” Confusion was written all over Jeffrey’s face as he replied. Leyton was also stunned to hear that it was a girl. “It can’t be. Why didn’t Jared come? Could it be that he’s scared?” Leyton questioned with a slight frown. “Could it be that Jared knew he wouldn’t get the contract, so he didn’t dare to come for fear of embarrassing himself?” Sandy was also perplexed. Leyton shook his head. “No. Unless he resigns, he won’t dare to go against Xavier’s words.” Jeffrey was confused by their conversation. The Scott family and the Sullivan family have always been business rivals. Why would Leyton be concerned about the Sullivans today? “Sentiment Chemical Limited has only sent a girl who used to be my schoolmate, Mr. Scott. I’ve left her in the office,” repeated Jeffrey. Leyton looked at him while commenting, “Mr. Leigh, I don’t suppose you’ll give in just because your old schoolmate begged for help, right?” “Of course not. Cosmic Chemical will certainly collaborate with the Scott family. Since I’ve taken money from your family, of course my loyalty lies with you!” Jeffrey hurriedly waved his hands as he replied. Leyton nodded in approval. “That’s good. Your loyalty will be rewarded in the future.” Although he was disappointed that Jared had not come, he thought that securing the deal with Cosmic Chemical was still a good thing. Just as Leyton and Sandy were preparing to head upstairs to the general manager’s office on the top floor to discuss business, Jared suddenly appeared in the doorway. However, the security guards stopped him from enteringLeyton’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Jared. He immediately strutted over with a smirk.

the Scott family, he did not expect to see Leyton in person. However, he immediately understood once he noticed the bandage on Leyton’s arm and Sandy’s presence. This so-called negotiation today is probably aimed at humiliating me. Leyton must’ve known in advance that I was coming, which is why he came over in person. Since the Scott family is at odds with the Sullivan family, it can only mean that someone working in this company must’ve informed Leyton that I’m coming over to discuss business. An image of a person immediately popped into his mind, and that was none other than Xavier. Having thought things through, Jared cast a
