Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2163

Swoosh!

Everyone looked at Lucas in shock.

He had hit Darryl and made him pass out?

"I—"

Lucas panicked as he felt their gazes on him. However, he snapped back to his senses and sneered at Darryl. "You sure know how to make up stories. You're the Elysium Gate's Sect Master and the Westrington Emperor; how could I make you pass out so easily? Don't try to push the responsibility on me."

Then, Lucas said, "Darryl, you're an influential figure, yet you would not admit your mistakes. How can you call yourself a man?"

'F*ck!'

Darryl was furious when Lucas twisted the truth. However, he did not have any evidence, so he did not know how to explain himself.

Lucas chuckled.

When he saw Darryl was silent, Lucas felt proud. He sneered at the man. "I see that you're speechless—must be your guilty conscience."

Woo!

Darryl took a deep breath and did not bother to talk to him. Instead, he turned to look at Jacob and said, "Manor Master Jacob, I did not know what happened that night. However, I can swear it with my reputation. Miss Parker and I are friends. I would never do such a thing to her."

"Hmm—"

Jacob's stern expression relaxed a little. He nodded and said, "Naturally, I believe Master Darby. I find this entire incident a little fishy. It looks like I will have to investigate it properly."

As the Famed Sword Manor's Manor Master, Jacob was an experienced cultivator. Even though he had only known Darryl for a short time, he knew that Darryl was not that kind of person.

"Uncle!"

Lucas got anxious. He yelled, "Darryl is not what he seems to be! He may seem like a nice person, but he is a despicable person. How can you trust his words?"

At that moment, Lucas was extremely nervous.

"Who knew that Darryl was such a person? I admired him so much previously—"

The crowd discussed amongst themselves; they were convinced that Jackie was held captive by Darryl and that he wanted to defile her.

Darryl smiled but said nothing.

Swoosh!

Jackie trembled and glared at Lucas; she was embarrassed and furious.

'Lucas is such an idiot! How dare he say that I'm Darryl's hostage? How can I have such a stupid sect member?'

At that moment, Jackie wanted to kill Lucas so badly, but she held herself back.

Her internal energy was completely depleted. Also, she had led the Illusion Sound Sect disciples to attack the Famed Sword Manor previously. If they knew who she was, they would not let her go so easily.
