The Man’s Decree

Chapter 149 Open Them Up

“Jared, forget about it,” Hilda whispered anxiously.

Lincoln burst into laughter when he saw how troubled Hilda was. He then mocked Jared, “Hey punk, you still have time to change your mind. Can you even afford to drink brandy? You look like you don’t even have twenty thousand with you. Stop bluffing, punk!”

“Change my mind?” Jared grinned. “What for? It’s just brandy anyway. It’s not like I’ve never drank it before. But if you’ve regretted your actions, you still have time to stop the waiters.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hahaha! Are you kidding me? Why would I? A few million means nothing to me.” Lincoln laughed aloud. Let’s see how long you can go on with your act. Once the liquor gets here, you’d surely regret it.

Soon, the waiters served up ten bottles of brandy. Everyone was amazed because none of them had ever indulged in such expensive liquor.

“Sir, do you need help to open them?” one of the waiters asked Lincoln.

Lincoln hesitated and turned to look at Jared. “Jared, are you sure about this? Once they open the bottles, it’d be too late to back down!”

Lincoln was certain that Jared was bluffing, and so he pressured him to submit. In fact, he hoped that none of the liquor would be opened because he couldn’t afford to pay.

Jared smiled faintly and said to the waiter, “Please open all of them.”

“Yes, sir.” The waiter proceeded to open up a bottle of brandy.

Lincoln was stunned. He didn’t see that coming.

Pop!

A second bottle was opened.

Every time Lincoln saw a bottle cork being pulled out, his heart bled a little.

Not long after, Lincoln was drenched in cold sweat. “Jared, don’t you forget that we’re at Glamor Hotel. It’s the Sullivan family’s business. There’s no way you can leave without paying, you know?” Lincoln tried his luck and threatened Jared, hoping that he would stop the waiter.

“I’m not planning to do that. How about you? Are you worried that you can’t afford the drinks? If that’s the case, you can tell them to stop!” Jared sneered.

“What makes you think I can’t afford it? My monthly expenses far exceed your annual salary!” Lincoln knew it was too late to back down, considering that he was the one who had ordered ten bottles of brandy.

By the time all ten bottles were opened, Lincoln’s heart sank.

“This is good liquor.” Jared poured himself a big glass of brandy and downed it.

Lincoln looked at Jared with contempt and said to the others, “Let’s drink! Don’t let him have it all to himself! It seems that Jared has never seen such expensive liquor in his life!”

Upon hearing that, everyone started pouring for themselves. Yvonne and Michelle, despite being non- drinkers, poured themselves a full glass each as well. They were taking full advantage, knowing that they wouldn’t be able to afford expensive liquor themselves.

Unlike the others, Hilda wasn’t keen on drinking. Instead, she was busy comforting Yolanda, who was in a bad shape.
