Chapter 215
“Marcus? Jude laughed when he heard the name. He ridiculed, “Andrius, did you just call the mayor?”
Andrius chuckled. “Yeah. What’s wrong with that?”
“Nope. I just want to laugh.” Jude ridiculed, “You really know how to pretend, eh? You even call Mayor
Freely Marcus? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I bet you have spent all your energy on acting cool.”
Andrius did not care about the man’s sneers.
Halle, on the other hand, had hope for Andrius. She knew about Andrius‘ and the mayor’s relationship,
so it might really work.
Ford and Jennifer looked at Andrius with increased contempt.
He was a nameless man from the mountain, foolish enough to lose the opportunity of a lifetime, and
was now boasting like he could tell the mayor to deliver him a government contract.
It was an insult to their intellect!
However, since Andrius said that he would leave Halle if he could not bring the contract over, so the
two of them decided to wait and see how it turned out.
Ten minutes went by.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJude’s patient wore thin. He looked at his Vacheron Constantin and said, “Andrius, ten minutes have
come and gone. Where is your government contract? If you can’t do it, stop acting like you can. You
can’t just leave us waiting forever, right?”
His words attracted Ford and Jennifer’s attention. They echoed, “Andrius, if you are not capable
enough, keep your mouth shut!”
Jennifer pointed at Andrius and said in annoyance, “If no one is coming, stop wasting our time. Get out
and don’t even see Halle again!”
Ford added coldly, “Andrius, if you are a man, keep your promise and leave Halle!”
Halle started to get nervous.
Her parents had no idea who Andrius was, but she had a clue.
She asked Andrius softly, “Andrius, why don’t you call Mayor Freely and see when he is coming?”
Andrius called Marcus again and then said, “He’s coming in five minutes.”
“Five minutes… Fine. I’ll give you another five minutes.” Jude grinned maliciously. “After five minutes,
you can stop deluding yourself.”
Then, he looked at his watch again.
Five minutes went by, but Marcus had not arrived.
“Andrius, what else do you have to say for yourself?” Jude sneered at Andrius with a contemptuous
look. It’s been five minutes already. Now, you cannot see Halle again, or…”
When Jude was threatening Andrius, he spotted someone familiar coming over. He looked and focused
on the person and realized it was indeed Marcus, Mayor Freely!
Jude strode over to the mayor with a flattering smile. He stretched his hand out and said respectfully,”
Mayor Freely, hi! I’m Jude, Zack Carver’s son! The chairman of Carver Enterprises!”

He did not consider the fact that the mayor came because of Andrius.
The Fullberries‘ estate was several kilometers from the city council, and Mayor Freely came here on
foot. The distance would have taken more than fifteen minutes by car if the traffic was smooth.
Walking would take at least an hour!
Jude simply thought that Mayor Freely was passing by and spotted him.
Marcus nodded but did not say a word.
Jude would not miss the chance to flatter someone as influential as the mayor. With a quick thought, he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcame up with a plan.
“Mayor Freely, you have no idea what just happened here. Someone bragged that he can make you
deliver a government contract to him with just a call…” Jude said as he tried to gloat at Andrius.
Marcus‘ patience wore thin. He pushed Jude away and went over to Andrius. With an apologetic look,
he said, “Mr. Moonshade, I’m so sorry that I am late. The traffic at the bridge was terrible. I had to come
on foot.”
His words stunned Ford and Jennifer.
The mayor actually came because of Andrius.
“It’s not too late,” Andrius said without being too concerned.
“Thank goodness. That’s great to know.” Marcus breathed a sigh of relief.
He then walked over to Ford and took a contract out from his briefcase. “Mr. Fullberry, this is a
government contract for the project named Sumeria’s Light. Have a look at it, and if it’s okay, please
sign
it.”
Ford was overwhelmed.
