Chapter 704 Unable To Resist The Beauty
If it’s true, why did the Poison King adopt and raise me?
As Melanie had similar thoughts, she gazed at Rayleigh, hoping that he could explain it.
Sadly, Rayleigh only had limited information and couldn’t verify his claim. “I only relayed the information that Brody told me. It’s up to you whether to believe it or not.”
With that, Rayleigh left the room with Jared.
After a while, Melanie and Lyanna also came out of the room. Nonetheless, Lyanna’s expression was grim, as though she was deep in thought.
Perhaps Lyanna was wondering if she ought to trust Rayleigh’s words.
Melanie somehow believed that Rayleigh was speaking the truth, for he had only relayed Brody’s message. Although Brody was known as a villain, he was trustworthy and had never lied.
The atmosphere in the living room was tense as everyone fell silent. Suddenly, Josephine and Lizbeth opened the door and came in.
“Jared, did you have a wonderful night yesterday?” Josephine asked loudly as soon as she entered the mansion. One could tell that she was jealous.
At that, Rayleigh and Melanie turned around and noticed that there were many cuts on Lyanna’s blouse. Some of the buttons had also gone missing. Although Lyanna was holding her blouse to keep it in one piece, she still couldn’t cover all of her fair skin.
One didn’t have to be a genius to tell that someone had violently torn Lyanna’s blouse.
“Jared, you pervert! What did you do to my sister?” Feeling enraged, Melanie furiously questioned Jared and punched him.
Since Melanie didn’t have martial energy, she couldn’t hurt Jared. On the contrary, her hand trembled when the energy rebounded.
“Are you out of your mind? I didn’t do anything to Lyanna. She tried to use the Seduction Technique on me, but I didn’t fall for it,” Jared explained.
Meanwhile, Lizbeth and Josephine were startled when they saw Melanie and Lyanna, who looked absolutely the same. Instantly, they knew that they had misunderstood Jared.
Nevertheless, Melanie refused to believe Jared’s words. “Bulls*it! Look at what happened to Lyanna’s blouse. How dare you claim that you did nothing to her? You’re a pervert! You already have two women, yet you still wanted to lay your hands on Lyanna. Humph! I knew that you were a good-for-nothing as soon as I saw your eyes.”
Melanie firmly believed that Lyanna’s blouse was torn because Jared had done some despicable things to her.
Right as Jared wanted to defend himself, Josephine interrupted, “How many women Jared has is none of your business. Who are you to accuse him of being a pervert? I’m Jared’s girlfriend and can prove that he has done nothing.”
Lizbeth stood by Josephine and refuted Melanie’s allegation as well. “Jared is not a pervert but a righteous man. You’re slandering him. Back then, he didn’t do anything to me when I fell into his arms naked. It proved that he isn’t a pervert.”
However, Lizbeth soon realized that she had had a slip of the tongue. Josephine looked at her in surprise and asked, “Lizbeth, when did he see your naked body? Why don’t I know about it?”
Lizbeth’s face flushed as she was unbearably embarrassed, unsure what she ought to say.
When Josephine turned to Jared, he looked away, pretending that he didn’t see her. How could I ever tell Josephine about that incident?
Rayleigh’s lips quirked when he saw Jared’s shy face. Well, a hero can hardly resist the beauty. Although an energy cultivator can legally marry more than one woman, Jared has to overcome various challenges to achieve it.
