A Man Like None Other - Season 7 Episode 45

Your Slice Of The Pie

“Jared, is it that urgent? You haven’t had lunch yet, right? Should we have lunch first?”

Zeke had no idea that Jared would rush here without having lunch.

“I don’t have much time to spare. Let’s go now.”

Jared pulled Zeke up and dragged him to the door.

They had just stepped out of the door when they bumped into Yasmin and Frida. Both ladies froze in shock at the sight of Jared.

They hadn’t met Jared in a while. Now that Jared was back in Yeringham without warning, Yasmin felt a tumult of emotions brewing within her heart, which she thought had calmed down.

“Jared, when did you get here? Where’s Josephine?” Frida asked happily.

“She isn’t here. I’m here for Zeke,” Jared answered.

He then pulled Zeke away. There was no time for him to talk to the ladies.

Yasmin parted her lips as Jared walked past her, but nothing came out of her mouth.

“Yasmin, have lunch with Frida. Don’t wait for me. I’ll be back after we take care of our business,” Zeke told her.

Yasmin didn’t say anything as she watched Jared get into the car. She remained rooted to the spot even after the car had disappeared from sight.

Back in the Whitaker residence in Summerbank, Yasmin had been frightened out of her wits and had assumed that she would die there. Despair was coursing through her veins when Jared showed up to save her, and she’d never forget the sight.

“Yas, you and Jared aren’t meant to be. Stop thinking about him. Besides, he’s Josephine’s boyfriend. You can’t possibly snatch him from Josephine, right?” Frida reminded.

Frida had seen through Yasmin. Ever since Jared had rescued Yasmin from the Whitaker residence in Summerbank, Yasmin had changed drastically.

Yasmin and Zeke used to be a loving couple, but they had been fighting a lot more frequently after that incident. Yasmin would always compare Zeke with Jared. Gradually, her emotions for Jared faded, for they rarely got to meet, and she knew they weren’t meant to be.

But right when Yasmin was about to forget about Jared, he appeared in her life again. His appearance had caused emotions to stir within her heart.

“Let’s go.”

Yasmin knew there was no telling when she and Jared would get to meet again after this encounter. Perhaps they wouldn’t see each other again for the rest of her life.

Jared had no idea what was going on in Yasmin’s mind. He was focused on getting to the decamillennium ginseng. He would get the decamillennium ginseng no matter what, even if it meant that he had to snatch it from someone else’s hands.

When they arrived at Goldenbirch Herbs, Zyaire had already received news from Zeke and was waiting at the door. After making a fortune from selling Jared’s revitalizing pills, he had great respect for Jared.

“Mr. Chance…”

Zyaire stepped forward and opened the door respectfully.

Jared alighted from his vehicle and asked anxiously, “Zyaire, is the news about the decamillennium ginseng true?”

“It’s true. The Sabine family from the northeast discovered it. They aren’t involved in the herbs business. That’s why they released the news to get a suitable buyer,” Zyaire said with certainty.

Seeing that Zyaire was so confident, Jared finally calmed down. I’m glad it’s true.

“Let’s head to the northeast now to get the decamillennium ginseng. Once I get it, you’ll get your slice of the pie,” Jared said with great urgency.

“Sure. I’m just honored to be of help, Mr. Chance. I wouldn’t dare to ask for anything in return!” Zyaire pulled out a few flight tickets from his pocket. “I’ve reserved the flight tickets ahead before your arrival.”

Jared beamed at the sight of the flight tickets. No wonder Zyaire can expand his business in Yeringham swiftly even though he isn’t a local. He’s a sly fox.

Jared led Zyaire, Tommy, and Phoenix to the airport. Zeke didn’t tag along with them.
