Chapter 1354 Lie


    At that moment, Desmond hated himself for losing his rationality and betraying Cecilia. If he could still


    ally himself with Crimson Pce, there was no way Divine Beast Sect wouldn’t develop substantially


    with how powerful Jared currently was.


    However, it was toote for that. Jared approached Desmond and stared at thetter coldly. In


    response to Jared’s icy gaze, Desmond trembled even more violently.


    Then, thetter 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 her head from Jared’s embrace. After


    asking Jared to put her down, she stood and red 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 him more than Colton. If it weren’t for Desmond, who


    abused her trust in him, Colton wouldn’t have gotten what he 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 he stared at the pathetic man coldly.

    At first, he thought Desmond was a pretty good man. After all, Desmond said he couldn’t ignore


    Richard’s heinous acts any longer and killed thetter.


    Yet, when he became the leader of the Divine Beast Sect, he started acting just like Richard.


    It was possible that his true nature didn’t reveal itself until he upied 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, he copsed on the ground, dead.


    It wasn’t until Cecilia saw Desmond’s corpse that her rage was quelled.


    “Let’s go, Jared.” At that point, she was calling Jared by his name instead of Mr. Chance.


    That might’ve shown just how much their rtionship 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 he said you have already be his woman.”


    “You dummy. Why do you believe him and not me?” She rolled her eyes. “We should leave quickly.


    Otherwise, Millie’s going to die from a panic attack.”


    After Cecilia finished speaking, she took two steps forward. However, her body hadn’t fully recovered


    yet, so she 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, he speedily returned to Crimson Pce.


    Millie was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the building.


    It was only natural since she still hadn’t received any news about her sister, despite the fact that it was


    almost dawn.


    Just as her anxiety was reaching its limit, a figure suddenly appeared. Soon, she saw Jared returning


    with Cecilia.


    Seeing them together stunned Millie because, at that moment, she noticed Cecilia was wrapping her


    arms around Jared’s neck. The duo looked pretty intimate.


    Since they had arrived at Crimson Pce, Cecilia whispered to Jared. “Put me down, quickly.”


    After all, she was the leader of Crimson Pce. Her reputation would be affected if she was seen


    acting so intimately with a man.


    When Jared ced her back on the ground, she tidied her clothes before walking toward Crimson


    Pce.
