Chapter 285
“Let her go.”
Jareth looked at the two servants holding Marilla, his eyes filled with a chilling fury that could freeze the blood in one’s veins. His voice was deep and ominous, as if it came straight from the depths of hell.
The two servants were clearly on edge, casting pleading glances at Glynnis for help.
Glynnis could see that Jareth was ordering her own servants around, clearly because he cared for Marilla, cared for this bitch!
Initially, she had been ready to back down. Jareth was, after all, the man of her dreams. How could she possibly defy him?
But then she remembered Edith, and how her mother and she had completely severed their relationship with the Fairhaven family. There was no way Jareth would ever feel anything for her now.
More importantly, this was the Abernathy family home! It was her home!
Even if Jareth wanted to stand up for Marilla, could his reach really extend this far? He had no right!
So, with fresh grievances and old grudges simmering in her heart, Glynnis gritted her teeth and declared, “No! This is the Abernathy family home. You are my servants, and you must listen to me.”
But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a scream.
One of the servants holding Marilla was suddenly kicked off his feet by Jareth, and sent flying several meters away!
Seeing a living, breathing person tumble and land heavily on the ground, Glynnis was shocked into silence, her senses numbed by fear.
The other servant quickly let go of Marilla and began to bow and apologize to Jareth, trembling like a leaf in the wind.
“Mr. Jareth. I was wrong! But we were only following orders. Ah!”
Another scream echoed through the room.
Jareth had kicked the second servant away as well, breaking two of her ribs in the process!
Glynnis let out a terrified scream.

She had always thought the rumors about Jareth being a “ferocious god” and “living devil” were just jokes.

Now she realized that it was her own naivety and lack of worldly experience that had led her to such a misconception.
Everyone in the room was shocked into silence, the room as silent as a graveyard..
“Jareth.” Marilla’s voice was weak, her legs trembling as she leaned into the man.
Jareth’s eyes narrowed, his arm swiftly wrapping around the petite girl’s waist, pulling her into his embrace.
He held her close, his warm slender hand gently soothing her trembling back.
“It’s okay, Marilla. I’m here.”
Glynnis was green with envy, her hands clenched into fists, her sharp nails digging into the flesh of her palms.
“Ouch.” Marilla whimpered, her voice fragile.
“Where does it hurt?” Jareth asked, his heart constricting with worry.
“Ouch.” She continued to whimper, as if she hadn’t heard his question.
At this moment, Marilla’s mother, Elspeth, finally made her appearance, elegantly dressed and coiffed.

She had just descended halfway down the staircase when she saw Jareth facing off against Glynnis, and the girl he was tenderly cradling in his arms was Marilla!
Elspeth frowned.
Suddenly realizing what was happening, she quietly retreated, hiding herself in the shadows as she observed the scene unfolding below.
