Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 5080

His voice was not loud but left no room for doubt.

Forsythe could barely breathe as he sensed the ferocious aura radiating off Antigonus. He collapsed onto his knees, not daring to move as his chest froze in terror.

Yet even then, he remained loyal to Morticia.

Morticia had said that Antigonus could not find out about this, so he had made up his mind to not say a word even to Antigonus.

Seeing as he was refusing to speak, Antigonus flared up in anger as his gaze frosted over, and he shouted coldly, "Do you want to get killed?"

As the words rang through the air, Morticia scrambled to speak up. "Please calm down, Honorable Archfiend. I told him not to say anything." She knew that Antigonus was not afraid to do as he said, and she could not watch her best right-hand man be killed off just like that.

"I rushed back when the storm was over, but they were nowhere to be seen by then."

"It's all my fault I couldn't do as I had been told. Please punish me, Your Highness."

As the final word rang through the air, Forsythe knelt in both remorse and grief.

Morticia had been prepared for the worst, yet her brain still blanked out at Forsythe's words as she trembled and collapsed onto the ground.
