During that time, Angie would always be waiting at the door for him to return. Upon seeing him, she would call out to him and throw herself into his arms.
Michael reminisced over the beautiful times they shared back then, as no one expected everything to change after just a few years.
Before he knew it, tears began to well up in Michael's eyes. It's probably some sand, but why is my nose burning? Why does it hurt so much?
Just when Michael was lost in thought, Nuo suddenly emerged dressed in black.
When he saw Michael, he greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Jones, I have prepared everything according to your instruction.”
“Very well.” Michael nodded.
“In that case, let's get it done as soon as possible. I bid you Godspeed,” he replied grimly with his back facing Nuo so that no one could see the emotions on his face.
Instead of responding, Nuo dropped to his knees in front of Michael and bowed.
“Mr. Jones, Ms. Jones is lucky to have a brother like you.”
Michael sniggered, “Lucky? If we could do this all over again, I would rather Angie not be born into the Jones family at all. Only then can she find true happiness. All right now, time to get to work. Or else, you will miss the window of opportunity once they reach Mount Chumen.”
Michael then waved his hand for Nuo and his men to get back up.
“Mr. Jones, take care.”
After bowing again, Nuo set off quickly with five of the Jones family's powerful warriors whom Michael had provided him with.
“Angie, this is the most I can do for you. Whether you will be able to escape will now rest on the hands of fate.”
Looking far ahead from the mansion, Michael was filled with overwhelming concern.
Meanwhile, Chu Sect was tens of kilometers away from the Jones residence.
Given the speed the wedding convoy was traveling, it would take them half an hour to return.
As the convoy of luxury cars traversed through Norwal City, they were welcomed with flowers and fireworks along the entire route.
Drones were flying around taking pictures while many skyscrapers had congratulatory messages displayed on their screens.
In fact, the convoy even had a police escort lead the way while traffic lights turned all green for them.
The scene caused innumerable women to feel envious.
“Oh my God! Whose wedding is this?”
“What a grand reception! Can it be the richest man in Norwal City?”
Within the crowd, many gossiped excitely.
“What richest man? It's for the third son of the Chu family, who is also the heir.”
“I'll be da*ned. Is it true? Is Mr. Chu getting married already? Doesn't it mean that I don't stand a chance anymore?”
Within the crowd, a lady with heavy makeup expressed her disappointment.
“You? How can a bunch of generic-looking girls like you dream of marrying into the Chu family? Do you even know who Mr. Chu's bride is? She's the little princess of the Jones family, Ms. Angie Jones. She doesn't just come with an illustrious background, but more importantly, she's still a blooming girl at seventeen. How can the lot of you even compare?”
Even though many in the crowd were filled with envy and jealousy, most of them actually wished that they were the bride.
And just like that, the Chu family's convoy drove through the city center under everyone's gazes.
Soon, they were about to arrive at Mount Chumen which was located on the outskirts of the city.
Throughout the journey, Angie sat quietly without saying a word.
All of a sudden, she claimed that she was car sick and wanted to puke.
In response, Chu Qitian ordered the car to stop immediately.
After the car door was opened, Angie stumbled out of the car with Chu Qitian behind her.
That was when the strangest thing happened.
Suddenly, just when Chu Qitian least expected it, Angie launched a punch that landed right smack on his chest.
It was so powerful that it threw his back by tens of meters.
“Ms. Jones, this way!”
Simultaneously, Nuo and his men, who had been waiting, sprang out from the woods.
