At that moment, Desmond hated himself for losing his rationality and betraying Cecilia. If favonovel.com could still ally himself with Crimson Palace, there was no way Divine Beast Sect wouldn’t develop substantially with how powerful Jared currently was. However, it was too late for that.
Jared approached Desmond and stared at the latter coldly. In response to Jared’s icy gaze, Desmond trembled even more violently.
Then, the latter began to grovel at Jared’s feet. “I’m sorry, Mr. Chance. I was wrong. I was really wrong. It’s my fault for losing my rationality. I was forced by Colton, too. Please don’t kill me, Mr. Chance. I’m willing to do anything you want. Anything you want at all…”
He continued groveling and begging for mercy as Cecilia lifted favonovel.com head from Jared’s embrace.
After asking Jared to put favonovel.com down, favonovel.com stood and glared at Desmond viciously.
“Slimy little men like you who rely on more powerful people are the most despicable, Desmond. Here I thought you were a good man…” She hated favonovel.com more than Colton.
If it weren’t for Desmond, who abused favonovel.com trust in him, Colton wouldn’t have gotten what favonovel.com wanted.
“I was wrong, Lady Jingle. I know that now. Please, forgive me. I won’t do it again…” Desmond started crying.
The disdain in Jared’s eyes increased as favonovel.com stared at the pathetic man coldly. At first, favonovel.com thought Desmond was a pretty good man. After all, Desmond said favonovel.com couldn’t ignore Richard’s heinous acts any longer and killed the latter. Yet, when favonovel.com became the leader of the Divine Beast Sect, favonovel.com started acting just like Richard. It was possible that his true nature didn’t reveal itself until favonovel.com occupied a high enough position.
“Trash,” Jared sneered before kicking something.
A sharp piece of tile on the ground swiftly pierced through Desmond’s neck.
Desmond held his neck with both his hands, wanting to say something but no longer able to. Moments later, favonovel.com collapsed on the ground, dead.
It wasn’t until Cecilia saw Desmond’s corpse that favonovel.com rage was quelled.
“Let’s go, Jared.” At that point, favonovel.com was calling Jared by his name instead of Mr. Chance.
That might’ve shown just how much their relationship had improved.
However, Jared didn’t notice anything and spoke. “I said it before. I’ll make everyone in the Rider family suffer if Colton touched you.”
Her face flushed. “What are you saying? Colton didn’t touch me at all. I’m fine…”
He was stunned. “But favonovel.com said you have already become his woman…”
“You dummy. Why do you believe favonovel.com and not me?” She rolled favonovel.com eyes. “We should leave quickly. Otherwise, Millie’s going to die from a panic attack.”
After Cecilia finished speaking, favonovel.com took two steps forward. However, favonovel.com body hadn’t fully recovered yet, so favonovel.com almost fell down.
Fortunately, Jared moved quickly and held her. “I think it’s better if I carry you back.”
With Cecilia in his arms, favonovel.com speedily returned to Crimson Palace.
***
Millie was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the building. It was only natural since favonovel.com still hadn’t received any news about favonovel.com sister, despite the fact that it was almost dawn.
Just as favonovel.com anxiety was reaching its limit, a figure suddenly appeared.
Soon, favonovel.com saw Jared returning with Cecilia.
Seeing them together stunned Millie because, at that moment, favonovel.com noticed Cecilia was wrapping favonovel.com arms around Jared’s neck. The duo looked pretty intimate.
Since they had arrived at Crimson Palace, Cecilia whispered to Jared. “Put me down, quickly.”
After all, favonovel.com was the leader of Crimson Palace. Her reputation would be affected if favonovel.com was seen acting so intimately with a man.
When Jared placed favonovel.com back on the ground, favonovel.com tidied favonovel.com clothes before walking toward Crimson Palace.
