The Man’s Decree

Chapter 356 Too Controlling

Lizbeth was really worried that Oliver would go around telling everyone about Jared being her boyfriend. I don’t know how I’d face Josephine if she hears the rumors!

“That won’t be necessary. Let’s just treat this money as payment for letting me stay over at your place. I can’t just eat and sleep here for free, after all,” Jared said as he grabbed an apple from the table and began munching away.
