A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1644

Walking over, Chu Qitian comforted Angie with an apologetic tone, “Ms. Jones, sorry to have scared you. I'll be takingyou back with me now to continue with the wedding.”

However, Angie shoved him aside forcefully before running up to Han and checking on him in tears.

“Ms. Jones, I'm all right. I'm sorry that I am unable to help you escape.”

Han was filled with regret.

If the Demonic Duo hadn't appeared, he would have had plenty of opportunities to help Angie escape.

Unfortunately, their presence had put a stop to all of his plans.

In the face of raw power, the best laid plans would undoubtedly falter.

“I should be the one to apologize for dragging you into this. It's all my fault... It's entirely on me... Because of me, Mr. Nuo is dead. And now, you...”

The moment she thought about Nuo's death, Angie's heart was seized by a piercing pain.

“Ms. Jones, it's time to go. Or else, the consequences will be dire if we're late,” Sixth Elder urged Angie.

Refusing to obey, Angie screamed at them in tears, “I will rather die before I go with you. You have killed Mr. Nuo who is the one person closest to me! I hate you! I hate all of you!”

Her reaction caused Chu Qitian to feel embarrassed, as he had not expected her to resent him to that extent.

For the sake of not wanting to marry him, she had plotted to escape on her wedding day.

“Ms. Jones, isn't it too late to be saying all of these now? The wedding has already begun. In fact, everyone who is famous has already gathered at Mount Chumen. Therefore, have you considered the consequences of your words?” Chu Qitian asked coldly with his eyebrows furrowed.

Unexpectedly, Angie laughed mockingly.

“Consequences? isn't it just death? Go ahead and kill me then. With Mr. Nuo now gone, what is the point of me living alone in this world?”

Overwhelmed by sorrow, Angie pleaded for death with a grim look on her face.

“You...”

Chu Qitian was so outraged that he was rendered speechless.

“Angie Jones, don't force me to do it! Don't for a momentthinkthat I dare not kill you! Just for trying to escape today, your father won't have the right to protest if I were to take your life,” Chu Qitian threatened with his fists clenched.

Ever since he was young, Chu Qitian had all the women he wanted. From the prettiest girl in university to the daughters of the city's rich. Among the prominent families, there were tons of ladies who couldn't wait to throw themselves at him.

Consequently, it never cross Chu Qitian's mind that Angie would rather die than marry him.

It undoubtedly dealt a blow to his confidence, as it made him look like a desperate sycophant having to beg her to marry him.

“Mr. Chu, there's no need to get worked up over this. Ms. Jones is just behaving childishly by throwing a rebellious tantrum. Moreover, you have barely interacted with her before. Hence, it's understandable that she begrudges you. Nevertheless, girls like her maybe quick-tempered, but they are easy to pacify too. With your abilities, I'm sure she will be swooning over you after you have your way with her tonight,” Sixth Elder assuaged Chu Qitian who found his arguments persuasive.

Given how conceited he was, Chu Qitian naturally assumed that he was the most eligible and charming person in the world.

Consequently, he would have no problem making a younggirl submitto him.

Holding that thought, Chu Qitian began to calm down.

Smiling, he replied, “Angie, now that we'll be seeing each other often, there's plenty of time to bond going forward. As of now, your father is waiting at the Chu residence. If you don't show up, wouldn't it put both families in a bad light? Furthermore, if you want us to spare the old fogey, you had better cooperate by coming with me. Or else, he will suffer the same fate as Mr. Nuo.”

With a faint smile, Chu Qitian used Han's life to threaten Angie into compliance which was undoubtedly very effective.

I don't care about my own life, but what about Han? It's bad enough for me to have caused Mr. Nuo's death. There's no way I can't handle having Ye Fan's friend's blood on my hands too.

“Fine, I'll go with you. However, you must promise me that you won't hurt him,” Angie asserted as she glared atChu Qitian.

“Of course. As long as you're willing to come with me, I will not only spare him but also get someone to treat him.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Chu Qitian broadened the smile on his face.

At that moment, the Demonic Duo urged, “Mr. Chu, it's getting late. We need to go now.”

“All right, let's go.”
