A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1639

Nuo's advice reignited the hope in Angie's heart.

Acting upon it, Angie stopped tormenting herself and began to eat, make-up, and try out her gown.

After all, she wanted to look her best when she saw Ye Fan again.

"Mr. Jones, Ms. Jones has begun to eat."

"Mr. Jones, Ms. Jones has started to put on her makeup."

Word of Angie's change quickly spread to her father and brother's ears.

"Is it true? Hahaha. Looks like she has come to her senses."

"That's a relief. My mind has finally been put at ease."

Angie's father, Bill, was excited by the news.

He felt as if he was finally released from the burden that had been hanging over his head.

Filled with elation, Bill and Michael went to Angie's room to visit her.

"Angie, I'm happy to learn that you have seen the light. I also admit that it is the family's fault for doing this without your permission. However, you must know that this decision not only benefits the Jones family but you also. After all, he is a member of the Chu family who is coveted by girls all over. Therefore, you should feel happy and honored to be able to become his wife," Bill explained with a solemn tone. This time Angie stopped talking back to her father. Instead, she calmly responded, "Mmm-hmm, Dad, you don't have to convince me any further. I understand now. I will carry out my duty as a member of the Jones family."

"Mmm-hmm. I'm glad to know that you think that way." Bill nodded in satisfaction before leaving. After all, he needed to entertain the many guests that had arrived.

Nonetheless, Angie's brother remained silent throughout.

It wasn't until Bill had left that he asked, "Angie, have you really thought it through? Are you really willing to marry Chu Tianqi?"

Given the sudden change in her stance, Michael couldn't help but have his doubts.

Angie chuckled softly. "So what if I'm unwilling? Does my desire really matter? Since it has been decided, do I have any other choice other than to accept it?" Angie threw the question back at Michael. Stumped, Michael didn't know what to say.

"Michael, I still need to try on my gowns. If there's nothing else, please leave us."

Not wanting to talk further, Angie showed Michael the door.

Consequently, Michael got up and left.

Just when he got to the door, he suddenly stopped.

"Angie, will you let me do your hair tomorrow? Based on tradition, a mother usually helps her daughter do her hair when she is getting married. However, since Mom is no longer around, will you let me do it on her behalf? Consider it as my way of saying farewell.

From tomorrow onward, you will be a daughter-in-law of the Chus. To be honest, I really hate to see you leave."

With his back facing Angie, Michael broke into a faint smile which for some reason felt especially weighty.

Given how much he doted on his sister, he loathed the fact that she was leaving home.

Angie was taken aback by Michael's words, but she nodded in agreement.

The night passed quickly.

When dawn began to break, more than ten helicopters suddenly appeared in the skies of Norwal City.

The rumble of their rotors reverberated in all directions.

After a long journey, leaders of martial arts worlds from many different countries arrived at the city where Chu Sect was based.

The airport closest to Mount Chumen had already been cordoned off for the event.

Many of the surrounding areas also saw tight security.

Furthermore, the route from the Jones residence to Mount Chumen was entirely sealed off.

In every direction, there were soldiers of Anglandur providing security and maintaining the peace.

Given how influential Chu Sect was in the region, even the military was involved in the Chu family's wedding.

Upon the arrival of the martial art leaders, Chu Sect had sent a convoy of cars to receive and drive them to the wedding banquet at Mount Chumen.

Meanwhile, back at the Jones residence, Angie and Nuo grew increasingly worried as time ticked by.

"Mr. Nuo, the Chu family's convoy is almost here to pick me up. Why hasn't Ye Fan arrived yet? Could something have happened to him? Perhaps, the Chu family has captured him?"

Angie was filled with anxiousness inside her room.

Unable to stay calm, her voice was already broken.

"Ms. Jones, calm down. Given Ye Fan's capabilities, I'm sure I would have heard something if a conflict were to break out between them. However, it has been peaceful over the last few days. Therefore, the only explanation would be that Ye Fan hasn't arrived yet," Nuo comforted her.

"In that case, what should we do? The Chu family will be arriving soon. Once I have been taken to the Chu residence, everything will be too late. Considering the number of powerful warriors there, there's no way Ye Fan can break through their defenses."

As Angie began to panic, the hope she held up in her heart began to diminish.

"Ms. Jones, don't worry. If Ye Fan is unable to get here in time, I'll leave with you midway through the wedding," Nuo suggested with a grim tone.

"But Mr. Nuo, what about the Chu family?" Angie was worried about Nuo's safety.

"Don't worry, I have confirmed that the Chu family's convoy is being escorted by a few Grandmasters and that there are no Supreme warriors among them. By using the tricks I have up my sleeve, we will be able to escape safely. Thus, just leave everything to me, Ms. Jones. All you have to do is to wait patiently," Nuo explained.

With that, Angie nodded in acknowledgment.

"All right now, Ms. Jones. Michael will be arriving soon, so I'd better go and get ready."

Once they had settled on their plan, Nuo got up to leave.

"Mr. Nuo," Angie called out to him all of a sudden.

"Is there anything else?" Nuo asked respectfully.

"No, it's just that..." Angie paused fora while before she continued in a gentle tone, "Mr. Nuo, thank you."

Nuo broke into a smile in response. "Ms. Jones, my greatest wish is to see you find happiness. Since helping you leave helps me fulfill it, there is no need for you to thank me."

Just as he spoke, Nuo opened the door and headed out, leaving Angie standing still in silence.

Soon, an attendant entered the room with Angle's wedding gown and informed cordially, "Ms. Jones, it's time to change and get ready."

Having nodded in acknowledgment, Angie began to shower, change, and put on her makeup.

"Mr. Jones, you're here."

Just when Angie was done washing up, Michael walked over.

The attendants bowed to greet him.

"Mmm-hmm, leave us. I'll take care of the rest."

Michael waved all the attendants away.

After that, he walked over to the dressing table and helped Angie with her hair.

"I wish that you will have a long and happy marriage, along with plenty of children."

The room was silent other than Michael's voice echoing through it.

As he helped her with her hair, he saw Angie's reddened eyes in the mirror.

"Look at how time flies..."
