The Man’s Decree

“What are you doing?” Josephine jumped between Kai and her father, but Kai was already done.
As for William, he suddenly felt his breathing improve while color gradually returned to his face.
“I have temporarily kept your injury in check. Considering how old your injury is, you will need a long duration of treatment in
order to fully recover,” Kai explained.
“Thank you for saving me. I really can’t thank you enough.” William grabbed Kai’s hand and expressed his gratitude continuously.
Meanwhile, Josephine was astounded to see the glow return to her father’s cheeks and the improvement in his condition.
“I saved you because I’m aware of your philanthropic work. Considering you have built more than ten schools, I’m obliged to do
something for you.”
Kai saved William because he knew of William’s good heart. If it had been a stranger, he naturally would not have bothered,
especially after Josephine had been rude to him and almost killed him. After all, Kai was not a saint who went around healing
everyone.
William was visibly embarrassed by Kai’s words. “What I’ve done is not even worth mentioning. Young man, since you’ve saved
me, just tell me whatever it is that you want. Now that it’s almost noon, why don’t I treat you to lunch at Glamor Hotel?”
“It’s fine. I still have something to take care of.”
Shaking his head, Kai declined the invitation, as he wanted to confront Sandy to clear the air.
Kai’s rejection caught William by surprise. As Horington’s richest man, there were many who wanted to buy him lunch.
Nevertheless, only those who walked the corridors of power had the honor of dining with him.
Hence, he didn’t expect Kai to decline his invitation.
“Young man, no matter what, I insist on giving you a treat to show my gratitude.”
William refused to let go of Kai’s arm.
It was not lost upon Kai that William’s intention behind treating him was to find out about his follow-up treatment. In spite of that,
he was moved by William’s sincerity. As a result, he nodded in agreement. “All right then, I’ll deal with my problem first and see
you at the hotel when I’m done?”

William released his grip in response. “Fine, that settles it. Just call me when you arrive, young man!”
After acknowledging William, Kai hurried to the Gibson residence.
“Where’s Sandy? I want to see her!” Kai cried out to a middle-aged woman in front of an old mansion.
She was Sandy’s mother, Melinda Connor. In the past, Kai would never have dared to speak to her in such a tone. However,
after hearing what his mother had said, Kai was so infuriated that it was a surprise he didn’t strike her at the get-go.
Dressed in a gown, Melinda put on a haughty expression with her arms folded in front of her chest. Staring at Kai with disdain,
Melinda spat, “Get lost! My daughter is getting married today. Hence, an ex-convict like you isn’t welcomed here.”
“Getting married?”
Kai knitted his eyebrows when he realized Baldy was telling the truth.
“Where’s Sandy? Who is she marrying? Tell her to come out here and explain it to me.”
With a scowl on his face, Kai dashed into the mansion.
“Hey, are you mad? How can you barge into my house just like that!”
Melinda desperately pulled Kai back.
Unfortunately, it was a futile effort considering how strong Kai was. Instead, she was being dragged across the yard.
When she saw Kai barging in, a woman dressed in a wedding gown came out with a sullen look on her face.
The moment he saw her, Kai stopped.
“Sandy, what’s going on? Explain yourself!” Kai demanded, his eyes burning with rage.
“Kai, you should leave and don’t come and see me again. I have decided to marry Leyton,” Sandy asserted with an indifferent
expression.
Narrowing his gaze, Kai clenched his fists. Even though he had already known about it, it still felt excruciating to hear Sandy say
it out loud.

I went to prison because of Leyton, and now, my own girlfriend is getting married to him? She is making a mockery of me!
Suddenly, Kai laughed wryly when he realized how pathetic he was.
“Is this what you really want?”
Looking at Sandy, Kai felt his fury begin to recede as his fingers gradually relaxed.
“Yes!” Sandy nodded. “I want to be rich, which is something you will never be able to provide. Furthermore, as an ex-convict, you
might not even be able to take care of yourself, let alone me. For old times’ sake, here’s a few hundred. Take it, so you don’t
have to sleep on the streets!”
As Sandy said that, she grabbed a bunch of hundreds and threw them at Kai’s face.
At that moment, Sandy was dead to him. He knew the person in front of him was no longer his girlfriend.
“You will regret this!” Kai roared and left without taking Sandy’s money.
“Pfft, I would only regret it if I married a broke b*stard like you!” Sandy hissed from behind him.
