A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 735

Chapter 735 One Hour

Carlos didn’t want to force Lyanna too hard since he needed her alive. If he pushed her too far and she died in a battle, then his plan would be for nothing.

Lyanna glanced at the Mapleton members as they stared at her with anticipation.

Their lives were in her hand.

At that moment, her expression turned extremely dark. If she was there alone, she would rather die than marry him. However, there was more than one life at stake. If she refused to do as he wished, the people from Mapleton would die.

“No need to worry about us, Ms. Lyanna. If you don’t want to marry Carlos, just escape.” A Mapleton member suddenly jumped out just as she was hesitating about what she should do.

He looked like he was completely not afraid of death.

That was because he admired her, and he was enraged by how Carlos was threatening her.

“How dare a mere Mapleton member go against us?” Carlos spoke coldly before slapping him.

Before any of them could react, that Mapleton member was sent flying away. When he hit the ground, blood spurted out of his mouth before he died.

“You’ve gone too far, Carlos!” Lyanna glared at him and pulled out a dagger from her waist.

The other Mapleton members also pulled out their weapons in a fit of rage.

Carlos laughed when he saw the dagger she was holding. I didn’t expect you to be carrying a weapon at our wedding. Did you conspire to kill me?”

“I…” She didn’t know how to answer. The dagger was hidden on her body so she could use it to fight against him if he wanted to force himself onto her.

That stunned him. If she died, she would be useless to him as a corpse.

“Fine, I promise you. However, you only have one hour to bring him here. If Poison King doesn’t arrive by then, don’t blame me for what I’ll do,” he relented.

A long sigh of relief escaped her mouth when he agreed.

She nodded and turned to Weston. “Weston, please ask my godfather to come and officiate the wedding. Please be quick.”

As she was speaking to Weston, she kept giving him a look. Her real intention wasn’t to ask him to find Poison King since he was already dead. In actuality, she wanted him to find Jared and dragged him out of wherever the hell he went to. At this juncture, Jared was the only one who could save them.

Weston nodded and left. Lyanna and the other members of Mapleton waited in the hall while being surrounded.
