“Lucas!”
Finally, Jacob reacted. He frowned and asked Lucas, “What is going on?”
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.
“Uh—”
Lucas wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thought for a while, then said, “This heroine has helped me before, so she is my savior. I did not recognize her from afar just now.”
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 Lucas’ 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 Lucas’ life? The two of them must have had another relationship.
“Sect, I mean, Madam Darby.” 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, “What is going on?”
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.
“Shut up! I’ve only saved you once. Are we that familiar with each other? Don’t call me Madam Darby!” 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, “Heroine, if there’s something wrong, let’s sit down and talk; stop beating him already.”
If it were any other person, Jacob would not be so polite. However, that was Darryl’s 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.
“That’s enough!”
Finally, Darryl walked forward and said, “Stop beating him already; you might kill him.”
Then, Jackie stopped and let out a gentle sigh.
