Chapter 516Chapter 516 Let Them Wait
“Why doesn’t he want to come?” The middle-aged man was Theodore Jackson. Feeling surprised, he
asked Anthony, “Did you tell him my identity?”
“No…” Anthony hastily waved his hands and continued, “I wouldn’t dare unless I had your permission
to do so. I only reminded Jared that a prominent figure from Jadeborough has arrived, yet he still
refused to come!”
“This is preposterous! That brat is too arrogant! Does he know every rich and powerful figure in
Jadeborough wishes to see Mr. Jackson? How dare he decline our invitation?”
Elias flew into a rage upon listening to Anthony’s reply.
“This is interesting…” Much to their surprise, Theodore wasn’t angry but laughed instead.
“Since he doesn’t want to come here, let’s go see him!” Theodore stood up and said, “Elias, buy some
appropriate presents for the visit. After all, it’s the first time we’re going to his house!”
“General, since that brat disrespects you, why do you still want to visit him at his house?” Elias asked in
shock.
“Just do as I say and don’t worry about the rest,” Theodore replied coldly.
Elias was frightened upon hearing it. He dared not dwell on it and quickly left to buy some presents.
“Anthony, who exactly is Jared? Tell me…” Then, Theodore turned around and asked.
Later, Anthony told Theodore everything he knew about Jared.“The youngsters are indeed fearless. Jared stirred up trouble in Summerbank once and now created
havoc in Jadeborough by killing Franco Cooper. He is courageous, strong, and full of potential.”
Theodore laughed heartily after he finished speaking.
Anthony was taken aback upon hearing it. “Mr. Jackson, did you say Jared killed someone from the
Coopers in Jadeborough?”
“It appears that you, as the General of the Department of Justice in Summerbank, Jazona, didn’t do
your job well. How could you not know that Jared killed Franco in Summerbank?” Theodore gazed at
Anthony and spoke.
As Theodore’s words terrified Anthony, sweat began to bead on his forehead.
“Mr. Jackson, please forgive me. It is indeed my mistake,” Anthony apologized immediately.
“It’s okay. What could you do even if you knew it beforehand? Could you restrain either Jared or
Franco?”
Theodore waved his hand, indicating that he accepted the apology.
Despite that, his words hit a nerve in Anthony. Despite being the General of the Department of Justice,
Anthony couldn’t do anything to the prominent families in Summerbank, not to mention the powerful
ones from Jadeborough.
As they said, comparisons are odious. Although both Theodore and Anthony are generals of the
Department of Justice, Theodore oversaw the department in Jadeborough. Even ten generals
combined were no match for him in terms of power and status. As such, Anthony had to be polite to
Elias, who was merely Theodore’s subordinate.After Elias came back with some presents, Anthony drove them to Jared’s mansion.
“Mr. Chance, General Long is here again!” A guard reported.
Jared said helplessly, “Anthony just doesn’t want to give up… Let him wait in the living room!”
Nonetheless, he didn’t rush to see Anthony but let him wait for some time.
After Anthony, Theodore, and Elias arrived in the living room, the maid poured a few cups of tea for
them and left.
Even though the three of them had been waiting for quite some time, Jared hadn’t shown up.
Glancing at his watch, Elias said impatiently, “What on earth is he doing? It has been over ten minutes.
When hasn’t he come here?”
“Be patient. He will eventually come here.”
However, Theodore wasn’t anxious at all. He closed his eyes and continued to wait patiently. He knew
that Jared deliberately wanted to keep them waiting.
“Lizbeth, your shoes are beautiful. Besides, they are limited edition!”
“By the way, the dress has just arrived today, and I’ve bought it!”

they wanted.
