The Man’s Decree

Chapter 284 The Stupid Son

Josephine was taken aback by the venom in Tyrion’s words. Unease grew in her chest as she asked hesitantly, “What are you talking about, Tyrion?”

“What else could I be talking about?” Anger distorted Tyrion’s features as he continued, “I’ve been courting you for years to no avail. Now, you’ve fallen for an ex-convict of all people! Tell me! How am I worse than Jared?”

He grabbed Josephine’s elbow in the middle of his impassioned speech.

“Tyrion! Who told you all this?”

Tyrion tightened his grip on her elbow and demanded, “That’s none of your business! Tell me! How is Jared better than me?”

Josephine winced in pain and yelled, “Let me go! You’re hurting me! You’re nothing like Jared!”
