Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 423

"We shall stand united to defend our land against the New World!"

Graham was glad to hear that. He took a deep breath and nodded with a big smile. "Great! Every one of you i s a true hero. Thank you."

Graham bowed and shouted, "We are gathered here today, and we have made alliances; this is something t o be celebrated. As the principal of the Hexad School, I shall take good care of everyone here. I have prepared meals for you, so let's continue the celebration in the school field. Cheers!" 1

"Great! Cheers!" The whole field was filled with laughter.

It was late at night, and the moon and stars were exceptionally bright. The entire Darby family was asleep on that peaceful night. 1

In a private room, the air was tight. Queenie hugged her knees as she sat motionlessly at a corner. Her eyes were red-they looked hopeless. She had been crying for a long time that her tears had dried.

She had sat there a full day and a night. The Darbys sent her food, but she had not touched any of it.

The previous night was a nightmare that she would never forget. After Jackson raped her, her wonderful world had collapsed. She was too ashamed to

continue her life after the monster had raped her.

Creek!

The door made a sound; Queenie shivered in fear. Was it that monster again? Was he there to rape her again?

While she was worrying, someone walked in. It was the leader of the Darby family, Drake Darby.

When he saw the fear in Queenie's eyes, he said, "Miss, don't be afraid."

Drake did not know what Jackson had done in the secret room the previous night. He thought the tears o n Queenie's face were because she was afraid.

"You may leave now," Drake said.

Drake sighed. "It is up to you to believe me or not, but i t is the truth. After all the bad things that he had done, he finally got what he deserved. He is injured, and he would most probably not survive."

Queenie's head started to spin. Darryl was injured?

That was impossible. Darryl was so strong; how would he be injured? i

Queenie did not believe him; she started to cry. "I don't believe you. You are lying!" They were all bastards!

Drake did not want to say anything further. "If he is not seriously injured, do you think that I would let you leave? Just go. Open the door and leave. No one will stop you." Then Drake turned and left.

In the hall, Drake was visibly upset. He had always admired Darryl. How could he make all those mistakes repeatedly, and ended up in such a manner?

What a waste!
