A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5629

Rowena stood there, her face flushed. "Mr. Contreras..." she murmured, unsure what to say.

Neville waved a hand. "Go on. Get some rest."

Without another word, Rowena endured the pain and hurried down the corridor.

When Neville led Sylvia into Jared's room, he was just finishing fastening his robe.

Jared's eyes widened at the sight of the new woman. She wore a flowing white dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, radiating an elegance far beyond Rowena's.

"Mr. Contreras, I appreciate your thoughtfulness," Jared said, "but as for dual cultivation with another woman... I'm afraid I can't manage it right now. I'll practice dual cultivation with this lady. How does that sound?"

Jared thought Neville had brought him another woman.

Neville hurriedly explained, "Jared, you've got it wrong. This is Sylvia Vale, the sect leader of the Earth Fiend Sect."

Jared blinked, stunned. "The sect leader of the Earth Fiend Sect?" And a woman?

Sylvia's lips curved into a small, graceful smile. "Mr. Chance, you truly are impressive, not just in looks, but in skill as well. Ms. Graves was lucky to have you."

Jared felt embarrassed. "I... I'm sorry. That was... a bit awkward."

"I am Sylvia Vale, the sect leader of the Earth Fiend Sect. I know there were some misunderstandings between my sect and you, so I came personally to apologize," she said, bowing deeply toward Jared.

Neville could hardly believe his eyes.

Jared, frozen in place, did not know what to make of her. What exactly was Sylvia up to?

"Your apology is accepted," Jared said cautiously, flexing the arm still stiff with injuries. "But your people did leave me in a pretty sorry state..."
