Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 5330

As Darryl spoke, Rachelle burst into tears as she launched into her tale of woe.

"There's something you don't know, sir. My… my life is so tragic… I don't live here, but in Emerald Cloud Lake, more than a hundred li northwest of here. I came from a town of fishermen who made a living from the lake until a month ago when tragedy struck.

"A contagious plague wiped out my entire family and village. I was lucky enough to get out alive and find a way to make a living out here on my own, but I never thought that those bastards from the Four Seas Alliance would have targeted me…

"If it hadn't been for you suddenly appearing, I don't know what would've happened to me…

Rachelle bawled her head off while sneaking glances at Darryl every once in a while.

Of course, she had made the story up well before just to gain Darryl's sympathy.

She was quite the cheat.

Darryl stared Rachelle down, taking in her every move clearly as he smirked to himself, all while plastering on a falsely sympathetic expression.

"Oh, I didn't know your life was so tragic…"

Darryl's interest was piqued by Rachelle's enthusiasm in keeping up the act. He could immediately guess that the lady had been sent by those sects, and he wanted to see what she could be up to.

Seeing Darryl's expression of approval, Rachelle let out a soft sigh as she said, "If you don't laugh at me for this, sir, I don't have anyone left. I really don't know where I should go now. If you don't mind, could I stay by your side as your servant? You saved me earlier. My life is now yours, sir."

As she spoke, Rachelle's expression was nothing but pitiful, yet her gaze flashed coldly.

Indeed, her final goal was to get close to Darryl just to cast the Charm Person Spell on her and control him.

Just then, Darryl let out a sigh. He did not respond right away, but he seemed to understand something.

After all that, the lady was actually trying to gain my sympathy to stay by Darryl's side. It had to be said that it was a pretty ruthless move, making herself sound all pitiful so he would surely bring her to the Pure Yang Division and give her a chance to steal the Heavenly Secret Palace cultivation method.

At the thought, Darryl scratched his head.

"Well… Alright, but I'm a bit of a slob. It will be quite hard for you if you want to stay by my side."

Darryl had thought it through. He decided to play along and keep the lady by his side. It would do him some good to find out which sect had sent her.
