âLucas!â
Finally, Jacob reacted. He frowned and asked Lucas, âWhat is going on?â
His nephew had always been arrogant, yet he had knelt in front of a woman. So, he was confused.
Swoosh!
Everyone from the Famed Sword Manor looked at Lucas closely as they waited for his answer.
âUhââ
Lucas wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thought for a while, then said, âThis heroine has helped me before, so
she is my savior. I did not recognize her from afar just now.â
Lucas was still extremely frightened. Did he not know who Jackie was? She was famous for her cruelty and
viciousness. If he were to expose her identity, he would be dead meat.
Luckily Lucas was quick-witted, so he created a lie and said that Jackie was his savior.
Woo!
Everyone nodded in realization as they let out a long sigh.
That woman was Lucasâ savior; no wonder he knelt when he saw her.
Woo!
Darryl, who stood next to Jackie, frowned.
Jackie was an arrogant and cruel person. How could she have saved Lucasâ life? The two of them must have had
another relationship.
âSect, I mean, Madam Darby.â Lucas smiled at Jackie. He had wanted to refer to her as a sect master. However,
when he realized the situation, he immediately changed it. He said cautiously, âWhat is going on?â
Lucas was shocked to learn that Jackie was a woman. Furthermore, he was also baffled when she had called Darryl
hubby.
He thought that she had wanted to seek revenge against Darryl. Why were they together? Why would they call
each other husband and wife as well?
The more Lucas thought about it, the more he was confused.
He still did not know that Jackie only referred to Darryl as hubby out of helplessness.
Slap!
Jackie slapped his face again without any warning!
She had used all of her might in that slap, so half of Lucasâs face was red and swollen.
At that moment, Jackie was embarrassed and furious.
Lucas was such an idiot. She had called Darryl hubby because of her predicament then, yet he had stupidly
referred to her as Madam Darby. He truly deserved to be slapped.
Whatâ
Lucas clutched his face; he felt extremely aggrieved. Finally, he looked at Jackie with a dissatisfied expression.
âMadam Darby! What did I say wrong?â
It was not only Lucas but other people were confused as well.
What had happened? Was that lady not Lucasâ savior? Why did she keep slapping him?
âShut up! Iâve only saved you once. Are we that familiar with each other? Donât call me Madam Darby!â The more
Jackie thought about it, the angrier she got. She slapped and yelled at Lucas non-stop.
Lucas was utterly baffled by the slaps; he was almost in tears.
Finally, Jacob could not take it any longer. He said, âHeroine, if thereâs something wrong, letâs sit down and talk; stop
beating him already.â
If it were any other person, Jacob would not be so polite. However, that was Darrylâs woman. No matter what, he
would have to be respectful.
However, it was like Jackie did not hear him at all. Instead, she continued to release her anger on Lucas.
At that moment, Jacob felt extremely awkward.
âThatâs enough!â
Finally, Darryl walked forward and said, âStop beating him already; you might kill him.â
Then, Jackie stopped and let out a gentle sigh.
