Chapter 228 A Call From Tommy
“Jared is a lot stronger than your Tibetan Mastiff, Leroy. He learned martial arts in prison and he’s awesome. He even broke Warrick’s legs,” Juliette said with a sarcastic smile.
When the others heard Jared breaking Warrick’s leg, they turned to look at the former with shock.
“If he can break Warrick’s leg, then he may indeed be stronger than my Tibetan Mastiff. Seems like I’ll have to add a bit more money!” Leroy sneered at Jared.
“Believe me, I will break your legs too,” Jared said in a calm tone.
“What did you just say to me? I dare you to say it again.” Leroy grabbed a wine bottle and glared at Jared with fury.
“There’s no need to be angry, Leroy. Jared is just joking with you.” Seeing how Leroy was really angry, Virgil quickly stood up to try and resolve the situation peacefully.
“This is Fortune Street, Leroy. The entire street is under Mr. Lewis’ control, including this restaurant. If you cause a mess here, you’ll be incurring Mr. Lewis’ wrath!” Someone else attempted to calm Leroy down.
“There’s nothing I need to be afraid of! My cousin is the manager of this place, so I can do whatever I want!” Leroy said proudly.
The others immediately looked at him with admiration when he said that.
“Leroy is so awesome! I can’t believe he has a cousin like that!”
“This means that his cousin is one of Mr. Lewis’ men! He must be pretty special!”
“There’s no need for us to worry here as long as Leroy is with us!”
Everyone was praising Leroy to the high heavens. As for Leroy himself, he looked pretty flattered. “If any of you encounter any sort of trouble in Fortune Street, just give me a call and I’ll deal with it! I also plan to hold my wedding with Pamela here. You guys have better make sure to attend our wedding!”
“Of course! We’ll definitely attend your wedding…”
All the others nodded. It was then that Juliette understood why Leroy recommended her to host the reunion there.
She would’ve undoubtedly spent quite a lot of money on the meal, but after that revelation, it might be possible that she would be able to eat for free!
When she thought about that, it instantly made her much happier.
At that moment, Tommy called Jared. He had been waiting for Jared for quite some time yet to no avail, which was why he decided to call and ask, “Are you here yet, Mr. Chance?”
“Wait for me,” Jared replied before ending the call abruptly.
“Who called you, Jared? Do you have something you need to attend to? If you do, you can just leave first.” Virgil was trying to save Jared from an awkward situation. After all, there was no point for him to stay after pissing Leroy off.
“It’s nothing. Tommy called me.” Jared shoved his phone back into his pocket.
“Tommy?” Virgil was stunned as he found the name to be familiar. It took a while before he realized who that person was. “Do you mean the owner of Meadow Restaurant, Tommy Lewis?”
“I guess so.” Jared nodded.
He wasn’t sure because he genuinely didn’t know the businesses that were under Tommy. The only thing he knew about Tommy was that the man took care of Templar Regiment.
Then again, a regiment as large as Tommy’s wouldn’t be able to expand if he didn’t have a collection of properties. Therefore, it wasn’t odd that he owned a restaurant.
“Pfft…” Leroy spat out the water he was drinking and laughed. “I didn’t expect you to be a joker, Jared! You said Mr. Lewis gave you a call and then you made him wait for you? If you want to lie, at least make it more convincing!”
The others laughed as well. Pamela narrowed her oval-shaped eyes and sneered, “I bet you never even met Mr. Lewis before. You have some nerve to lie about him calling you.”
Among everyone there, Juliette was the only one who knew Jared met Tommy before on Sandy’s wedding.
However, she didn’t know a thing about their relationship.
