A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO Chapter 491-500
Chapter 491
When Quintus heard his father calling him, his sturdy body jolted before he
reluctantly stepped forward.
“Yes, Dad?”
“Do you remember what I told you?” Adolph commanded his eldest son, “As
the eldest brother, you must avenge your sister’s death!”
Quintus scratched his head and frowned as he retorted with one eye closed,
“Didn’t Emmanuel say that Magnus was the one who fired the shot? He’s not
the killer!”
“Shut it!” Adolph shouted. “I don’t believe that Magnus fired the gun. Since
Emmanuel can’t show us any evidence, he must bear the responsibility!”
Quintus pursed his lips and muttered softly, “You don’t believe what he said,
but I do-”
“What was that?!” Adolph roared.
As if electrocuted, Quintus quickly changed his words. “Haha! I didn’t say
anything.”
Elizabeth felt extremely uneasy as she watched from the sidelines. She knew
that her elder brother had always been afraid of their father since childhood
because of their father’s demonic ways of training him into the beast he was
today.
His reverence for their father was deeply ingrained in him. Whenever their
father gave an order, he was always very proactive in carrying it out. That
was why his behavior now proved that he truly believed Emmanuel.
However, it was a pity that despite this, Quintus still stood in front of
Emmanuel and rolled his eyes, saying, “Emmanuel, I actually wanted to
defeat you for Mackenzie. My reason for challenging you today may be a bit
meaningless, but I must do as I’m told!”
Emmanuel also smiled. “I won’t accept your challenge if it’s about Mackenzie,
but I can understand why you would challenge me for your sister!”
Duh! Why would I accept his challenge about Mackenzie when she is already
my wife? I don’t get a prize for winning the match, and I’ll even lose my wife if I
lose! Only an idiot would be up for nonsense like that.
Emmanuel came today to resolve two cases involving two people’s lives.
Regardless of the method, he would accept the challenge as long as it could
turn the Lenoir family and the Quillen family from enemies to friends.
“Let’s begin!” Quintus assumed a fighting stance.
Elizabeth knew that her brother’s actual combat ability was not inferior to
Felix’s, but she understood just what kind of person Quintus was.
He looked a little simple–minded, but he was a sensible person. He never
bullied others with his martial arts skills, nor did he get into meaningless
fights. He didn’t even seem particularly invested in this battle. Manuel won’t
lose… right?
“Come on!”
Emmanuel had also assumed a combat stance.
The onlookers‘ eyes were filled with excitement. Although Quintus didn’t have
the same reputation as Felix, it was because he was young and hadn’t made
a name for himself in major battles yet. If one were to compare their true
strength, the young and powerful Quintus might not be any inferior to the
elderly Felix!
Also, Emmanuel had just fought with Felix. He might not be Quintus‘ match
after wasting so much energy and clearly sustaining injuries.
“Good luck, Quintus!” Laura took the lead in cheering for Quintus.
This man was her son in name only. They had no blood relation, and their age
difference was only three years. In fact, she had always had a craving for
that big, strong body of his.
“Mr. Lenoir, give it your all!”
“Mr. Lenoir, you must bring glory to the Lenoir family!”
The people of the Lenoir family around them began to cheer and support
Quintus.
With such an atmosphere, even Quintus, who had no fighting spirit, suddenly
howled and took the first step in attacking Emmanuel. It was obvious that he
didn’t want to be defeated in front of so many of his own.
And again!
He kept retreating until his back was against the three–tiered marble
fountain in the front courtyard. At that point, Emmanuel had nowhere else to
retreat to.
Quintus‘ unstoppable fist came crashing down like a mighty iron hammer.
Honestly, it was more like a speeding truck.
Emmanuel could only sidestep, and Quintus‘ fist smashed into the marble
behind him, shattering it with a resounding crash.
The flying debris pelted him, causing excruciating pain akin to shattered
bones.
Emmanuel quickly rolled onto the ground and positioned himself behind
Quintus. He then swiftly locked his hands around the man’s shoulders,
attempting to execute a hip toss.
However, Quintus was surprisingly agile despite his hulking figure. He swiftly
And again!

Chapter 492
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Quintus‘ moves and Felix’s were completely different. Quintin’s moves were
devoid of fancy techniques or variations, yet they were brimming with
immense power.
Emmanuel dared not confront Quintus head–on as he did with Felix earlier, let
alone easily take a blow from him.
Otherwise, it could result in anything from a mere bone fracture to instant
death.
As such, Emmanuel quickly retreated.
At this sight, Quintus pressed on with a fierce assault, which caused
Emmanuel to retreat again.
loosened Emmanuel’s grip. Turning around, he locked Emmanuel around his
waist before lifting him off the ground.
“Gah!” Quintus let out a shout and lifted his knee, aiming to smash Emmanuel
onto it.
“Ah! No!” Elizabeth screamed in shock.
If Emmanuel were hit, his body would likely snap in half. The scene would be
too gruesome for Elizabeth, and she could not bring herself to watch.
“Good job!”
“Look at the powerful Mr. Lenoir!”
“As expected of the Military’s Dragon!”
The onlookers in the front courtyard raised their fists and cheered, their faces
filled with excitement.
Adolph’s lips had curled into a satisfied smile. Indeed, Emmanuel’s
close–quarters combat skills were impressive, but ultimately, his son had the
upper hand.
However, Emmanuel swiftly wrapped one arm around Quintus‘ neck and
used the momentum to lift Quintus off the ground.
The two of them spun through the air before crashing heavily onto the
ground, raising clouds of dust.
The expressions of the crowd froze as the intensity of the two battles
completely exceeded their imaginations.
They knew that Felix was a top martial artist revered by the martial world of
Yeringham. Little did they know that the younger generation had already
surpassed him.
Moreover, there were two of them!
Emmanuel quickly sprung back up, only to find that Quintus‘ movements
were fast as well. By the time he struck, this hulk of a man had already raised
his hands to block the attack.
The tide of battle shifted, with Emmanuel on the offensive and, Quintus on the
4/5
defensive.
Emmanuel soon discovered that Quintus‘ defense was incredibly strong,
much more than his own.
Quintus‘ defense was built upon his own strong body. As long as it could
shield his vital areas, that would make it a flawless defense.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Emmanuel wouldn’t necessarily
injure this man if he were to crash into him with a Maserati. It would most
likely damage the car instead!
How intriguing!
Chapter 493
Emmanuel couldn’t hide his excited grin as he watched Quintus. He had
known that the latter was powerful, but he never imagined that the man’s
strength would surpass his expectations.
Quintus had an innate talent for combat!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two of them started to tear the battlefield apart the longer they engaged
in a fierce battle in the front yard.
The thing was, the Lenoir family had a military–style villa, which meant it was
much sturdier than ordinary houses. And yet, these two individuals managed
to make a mess out of this residence where the floor was even made of
stone. This only showed their immense destructive power.
After about a hundred moves, the balance of victory had started to tilt.
While Quintus‘ defense was, formidable, there was still a gap in terms of
techniques and combat experience compared to Emmanuel. He was already
in a one–sided beatdown.
Everyone from the Lenoir family was dumbfounded when they witnessed this
scene. They were baffled by the man named Emmanuel Lowe.
Not only did he defeat the renowned Felix, but now he even overpowered
Quintus, the top young martial artist and eldest son of the Lenoir family
carefully trained by Adolph.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Emmanuel landed three consecutive kicks on Quintus, causing the latter to
fall heavily to the ground despite his steel–like body.
“I’m done! Enough!” Frustrated and angry, Quintus turned to Adolph and
stated, “Dad, it’s not that I don’t want to avenge my sister, but I truly can’t
defeat him. What if he really didn’t use Claudette as his shield?”
Adolph’s face turned so grim it was almost black.
Losing to Felix was already bad enough, but how was he supposed to raise
his head up high if his most carefully cultivated son was defeated by
Emmanuel as well?
But ironically, he found it difficult to deal with Emmanuel despite his threats
earlier. If he forcefully tried to handle Emmanuel, his prestige would likely take
a hit.
Emmanuel caught his breath and looked at Quintus. If this big guy persists,
there might be unexpected changes in the outcome of the battle. He hadn’t
expected that Quintus would readily admit defeat after relentlessly trying to
win against him.
Emmanuel knew he hadn’t misjudged Quintus. Despite his slightly immature
behavior and being his love rival, Quintus still had good character.
“Listen up, Emmanuel Lowe!” Adolph’s voice was cold as he announced, “I,
Adolph Lenoir, am a man of my word. You have won today, and I will allow
you to leave the Lenoir Residence. However, that doesn’t mean I will let you
off the hook. I will definitely look into Claudette’s death!”
Everyone in the Lenoir family knew that while Adolph didn’t care much about
the frivolous Tobias, he had always doted on Claudette.
It was reasonable that he wouldn’t let her death go unsolved even though he
decided to stop investigating Tobias‘ death.
“General Lenoir, I’ve said it many times. I did not use Claudette as a shield.
Magnus was the one who shot me, and Claudette voluntarily protected me
from the bullet!”
Emmanuel’s voice grew impassioned. “I’m also devastated by her death. Why
don’t you confront Magnus? Why don’t you take revenge on him?”
Adolph’s anger deepened as he replied, “I’ve said that I will never believe your
word alone unless you have evidence!”
As the situation seemed to be reaching a dead end and there seemed to be
no way to resolve this, Elizabeth finally stepped forward with her teeth
clenched. “Dad, since you want evidence, you’ll believe Manuel if we find a
way to wake Claudette up and let her tell you, right?”
As the words fell, Emmanuel’s eyes widened in shock. Is Claudette still alive?
How can that be? The bullet hit her heart! No… This is impossible!
The very next moment, Elizabeth turned to him and asked, “Manuel, you’re a
doctor, right? You helped treat my sister’s strange illness before. Do you have
any way to get her to wake up?”
Emmanuel couldn’t contain himself any longer. He walked toward her in
excitement, thereafter gripping her shoulders tightly. “Miss Elizabeth, what did
you say? Is Claudette still alive? She hasn’t been buried yet?”
Mackenzie hadn’t told him about this. He truly had no idea!
With a nod from Elizabeth, Emmanuel exclaimed, “Quick! Take me to see her!
want to see her!”
A surge of joy and relief rushed up from the depths of his heart.
Although Emmanuel hadn’t mentioned it to anyone during this period, he had
been filled with guilt. Every thought of Claudette he had hurt him deeply.
Since fate had given him another chance, even if the hope was faint and
even if it was just a one–in–a–million chance, he would find a way to revive
Claudette!
Chapter 494
Elizabeth immediately turned around and looked at Adolph before she fell to
her knees and pleaded, “Dad, please let Manuel take a look at Claudette. He
might have a solution!”
Adolph’s face displayed mixed emotions.
While he didn’t believe that a gynecologist could cure his daughter when
even the various specialists he had brought in could not, Claudette’s mother
was the woman he loved the most, and Claudette was his most cherished
daughter. Even if it was a long shot, he secretly wanted to give it a try.
After contemplating for a long time and seeing his tearful youngest
daughter, Adolph finally conceded. He stood up and coldly uttered,
“Emmanuel, I’ll give you a chance for Elizabeth’s sake. Come with me!”
“Yes, sir!”
Emmanuel couldn’t believe that Adolph had actually agreed, considering
how harshly he had treated him before. Adolph didn’t seem like a reasonable
person.
Regardless of what Adolph was thinking, Emmanuel’s sole objective was to
see Claudette again, understand her condition, and even find a way to bring
her back to life.
However, Emmanuel, who hadn’t felt too hopeful right from the start, felt a
sense of despair when he entered the special ward.
Claudette lay there completely clean, with only a white sheet covering her.
There was no one else present besides the two female doctors and nurses
taking care of her.
She was surrounded by cold machines.
Although the bullet hadn’t pierced her heart, it had severely damaged her
cardiac and pulmonary functions. Currently, she was being kept alive by an
artificial heart–lung machine.
It had been over half a month since she was shot, and despite using
machines and nutrient solutions to forcefully keep her alive, her physical
condition had deteriorated significantly. An older person in such a condition
wouldn’t have survived.
In the room, there were only Adolph, Laura, and four female medical staff.
Emmanuel couldn’t care less about anything else as he directly removed the
sheet covering Claudette.
Claudette’s body still possessed graceful curves, but they were no longer
enticing and tender like before. She appeared pale and lifeless, much like
frozen seafood.
Since Emmanuel was a gynecologist, he didn’t have any taboos as he went
on and examined Claudette’s condition.
Adolph didn’t stop him. However, he did exert pressure from behind. “You and
Mackenzie Quillen have to take responsibility for the state Claudette is in.
Until she wakes up, I will remain an enemy of the Quillen family and fight
them to the end. If Claudette dies, we shall become each other’s sworn
-enemies!”
Emmanuel didn’t respond to him and continued to carefully examine
Dedeu Ö.
Claudette’s condition. Suddenly, he discovered that her heart was different
from that of an ordinary person. Not only was it slightly misaligned, but even
its overall structure was different.
He whipped around and blurted out, “General Lenoir, please immediately
freeze Claudette to put her body into a complete hibernation state. I might
have a way to save her!”
Adolph and Laura, both not fully believing him, couldn’t hide their
astonishment.
Emmanuel couldn’t explain too much to them and simply stated firmly, “After
freezing Claudette, please hand her over to me. I will find a way to bring her
back to life within three months!”
Emmanuel’s medical skills were not only taught to him by his father since
childhood but also learned during his studies in the Northern Region. The
people who taught him included the renowned Kolton Stevenson and a
master physician known as the Ghost Doctor.
In Claudette’s current condition, normal medical methods could only barely
sustain her for a period of time before she inevitably died. In order to save
her, Emmanuel had to take her to see the master physician, who might have
a solution.
However, Adolph sneered at him. “What a joke! Why should I believe you?”
Emmanuel immediately replied, “General Lenoir, if you have another way to
revive Claudette, then you don’t have to trust me! But you must trust me if
you don’t have any other options!”
Laura also looked up at Adolph, hoping that he would trust Emmanuel even
though she didn’t dare to say it outright.
Adolph only continued to snort. “If you can save Claudette, do it in the Lenoir
Residence. I’ll provide whatever equipment and medicinal materials you
need, but I won’t allow you to take her away!”
Emmanuel saw the older man’s resolute expression and was momentarily at
-a–loss for what to do.
Chapter 495
The main thing is, my Master is now traveling all over the world. Even if I take
Claudette out of here right now, I may not be able to find him for some time!
All I can do is leave the Lenoir residence and then look for his whereabouts
before anything else! thought Emmanuel.
Only after the man had left did Laura help Adolph up. As they walked, she
said with admiration written all over her face, “General, you’re truly the best
military general of your generation in Tocvale. You’re so smart!”
Adolph frowned and asked with feigned puzzlement, “How am I smart?”
Laura replied with a flirty giggle, “The three most powerful families in
Yeringham right now are the Quillens, the Newmans, and the Lenoirs. We, the
Lenoirs, are related to both the Quillens and the Newmans by marriage. We
all could’ve ruled this city together, but the Quillens seem to be out of step
with us. What’s more, they seem to be seeking hegemony, don’t they?”
He listened to her in silence without giving a response.
Laura continued, “Your sister Felicity married into the Quillen family, but not
only did she not get the standing she deserved after that, she even had to
live under constant bullying. And now, the Quillen family’s power has been
passed down to her daughter, while she is made into a mere figurehead
despite being her mother. Obviously, the Quillens never give a damn to us,
the Lenoirs, and are continuously watching out for us.”
She added, “General, you retired from the army and went into business with
the intention of making the Lenoirs a big business family in Yeringham, but
the Quillens wouldn’t give you the opportunity. So, all you can do is team up
with the Newmans to overthrow the Quillens and divide their fortune between
the two families. Am I right about that?”
At hearing this, Adolph looked at this gorgeous woman next to him with a
meaningful smile on his lips.
Knowing that she was absolutely spot on, Laura smugly continued, “What
happened to Claudette gives you a justifiable excuse to team up with the
Newmans against the Quillens. In reality, you and the Newmans have
planned these business moves beforehand. Who in the Newman family did
you discuss this with in advance? And I was actually kept in the dark about
this! Hmph!”
At last, Adolph gently held up her pointed chin. His smile vanished. “My
woman can be smart, but she had better not get too smart! Otherwise, I may
not like it. You understand?”
A slight shudder ran through Laura’s body. The next instant, she smiled again.
“General, you have both my body and my heart. Don’t be on your guard
against me, okay? Or I’ll be heartbroken!” she said before pressing her red lips
to Adolph’s.
Adolph was unmoved at first, but he then wrapped his arms around her
round waist nonetheless. Not even an ascetic monk can resist such a
stunner! he thought.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel returned to Yociam Residence with a huge load on his
mind.
The moment he arrived downstairs, though, the security guard stopped him,
saying, “Mr. Lowe, you’ve got visitors!”
“Oh?“, Only then did Emmanuel snap out of his thoughts about Claudette. He
wondered who the visitors were.
The next moment, a man and a woman came before Emmanuel after being
notified by the security guard. The woman was none other than Sarah,
whereas the man was someone Emmanuel was only meeting for the first
time/He was the interior decoration expert whom Sarah introduced to him.
“Manuel!” Sarah called out sweetly as soon as she saw Emmanuel; she then
walked up to him with all smiles.
Seeing her attitude toward Emmanuel, the security guard secretly envied
him and his luck with women. He’s married to such a beautiful wife who has
such a sweet and gentle sister? Are they gonna sleep in the same bed
tonight?
Chapter 496
“Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of
courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t speculate about what the security guard
was thinking.
Sarah explained with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on
the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any
updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it.
That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both
you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!”
Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly
reject this sister–in–law’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and
Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found
anything wrong with her so far. He thought she was quite nice and thus saw
no reason to keep her at arm’s length.
Soon after that, the three of them arrived upstairs, and the expert started to
help with the fountain.
Emmanuel was discussing the construction plan with the expert when Sarah
suddenly came to his side. She asked in surprise, “Manuel, what’s wrong with
your face? It seems somewhat swollen.” She gently pressed the lower side of
his chin.
Emmanuel quickly stepped back in pain. These were the injuries he had
suffered while getting into a fight in the Lenoir residence today, but he didn’t
tell Sarah about it.
Sarah was smarter than he imagined, though. Noticing the dirt on his shirt,
she anxiously asked, “Manuel, don’t tell me you got into a fight with
somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if she comes back and sees
you like this!”
Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were
nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had
previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she
catches me fighting again, she’ll certainly give me another talking–to!
Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let
me help put medicine on you. Mackenzie probably has a meeting, so she
won’t be back early this evening, right?”
“I do have a first aid kit at home, but it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.” Emmanuel
turned down her kind offer. After fetching the first aid kit, he brought it back to
his room and took off his clothes to put on medicine by himself.
Unexpectedly, however, Sarah pushed the door open and entered
nonetheless. Seeing him covered in bruises, she exclaimed in shock, “Oh, my
God! Manuel, who did this to you?”
“It’s okay. Nothing serious, actually,” replied Emmanuel, trying to play it down.
Sarah sat down beside him and picked up the ointment with her fair hand.
“You can’t apply medicine to the bruises on your back, can you? Let me help
you!” As soon as she said that, she started doing it.
Unable to refuse her, Emmanuel had no choice but to reply, “Thank you!”
At the same time, a Bentley entered the neighborhood.
Having long named Mackenzie the prettiest woman in the neighborhood, the
security guards of Yociam Residence would always try to strike up
conversations with her on all kinds of topics. While the gate opened, he asked
with a smile, “Ms. Quillen, why isn’t Mr. Lowe bringing you home today?”
Mackenzie had no intention of answering. Much to her dismay, though, the
other security guard chimed in immediately, “Hey, are you stupid? Ms.
Quillen’s sister is here to pay a visit, isn’t she? Mr. Lowe has to play host to his
sister–in–law, of course!”
Mackenzie’s attractive eyes darkened at once. She ordered Wally, “Drop me
off right downstairs!”
“Yes, Ms. Mackenzie!” Wally also sensed an undercurrent of rage emanating
from her. He was well aware of the relationships between the three Quillen
sisters. Could it be Miss Sarah who’s visiting today?
As soon as the Bentley came to a stop, Mackenzie hurried upstairs with a
chilly expression on her pretty face. She couldn’t help feeling that Sarah was
approaching Emmanuel on purpose. Just what the hell is that woman up to?
This sister of mine has always liked to steal things from me, but she basically
never beat me on this. Don’t tell me she thinks she can steal my husband?
How laughable! She soon opened the door and darted her eyes around the
house. Seeing no signs of Emmanuel or Sarah, she stormed toward his room
in a threatening manner.
Seeing such a frosty beauty, the expert working on the balcony was actually
scared into silence for a moment!
hapter 497
What a frosty woman! But she’s so gorgeous! thought the expert.
Mackenzie never paid attention to this bystander, though. After pushing the
door open, she was stunned right away, and her beautiful eyes blazed with
fury. Emmanuel was stripped to the waist in his room, while Sarah was
standing behind him, her fair hands fondling his back muscles continuously.
This is simply abominable! I’ve never been so intimate with this guy as his
wife! What gave this woman the nerve to do this?!
from
Emmanuel and Sarah promptly turned their heads toward the sudden sound.
“Mackenzie? You’re back so early today!” Emmanuel had surprise written all
over his face. Mackenzie had told him that he didn’t have to pick her up
work today. This led him to think that she was going to work late into the night
again, so he never thought she would return home as early as 6.00PM.
“Mackenzie!” Sarah also greeted her sister calmly. Not only did she show no
signs of feeling guilty, she even had a faint smile on her face.
“What are you doing?!” questioned Mackenzie icily.
Emmanuel hurriedly put on his shirt and walked over to her. “I’m hurt, so Sarah
was putting medicine on me!” he explained. Seeing the chilly expression on
Mackenzie’s face, he also feared that this icy wife of his would go ballistic.
However, Mackenzie wasn’t an ordinary woman. It was true that she was
fuming in her heart, but instead of flying into a rage, she immediately cared
about Emmanuel, asking, “How did you hurt yourself again?”
“I-” Emmanuel was just about to explain himself.
“Never mind, I’ll put medicine on you later.” Mackenzie’continued to be gentle,
with her husband. After that, however, she turned to stare coldly at Sarah.
“What are you doing in my house?”
“Mackenzie, I brought an expert here to help you two design the indoor
fountain!” explained Sarah frankly.
Mackenzie didn’t lose her temper, but she looked as icy as an ice sculpture
that could freeze people at any time. “It’s not necessary. You and your friend
may leave now!”
Sarah threw a glance at Emmanuel.
Emmanuel thought it was rather unkind to chase Sarah away like this. After
all, this sister–in–law was here to help, and she had done nothing wrong. That
being said, he mustn’t take the wrong stance. So, he said apologetically,
“Sarah, thank you for your kindness. Why don’t you leave with your friend for
now?”
Sarah nodded while looking slightly displeased. Nevertheless, she replied with
a smile, “Okay, I won’t be keeping you and Mackenzie from spending time
together, then!” However, instead of leaving right after saying so, she handed
the ointment in her hand to Mackenzie. She instructed, “Manuel’s back is quite
badly bruised, and he can’t reach it. Mackenzie, you’ve got to help him rub
the bruise with the ointment, or he might have trouble sleeping tonight.”
Mackenzie let out a snort without taking the ointment from her.
As a result, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Emmanuel hurriedly came over and took the ointment. He said with a wry
smile, “I’ll do it myself. Sarah, why don’t you go back now?”
“Alright, Manuel. Take care of yourself, then. I gotta go!” Sarah showed no
signs of anger. She left nonetheless, taking her expert friend with her.
Mackenzie fixed Emmanuel with a glacial stare as though he had cheated on
her.
Emmanuel felt both depressed and innocent. It scares me when I see such a
look in her eyes!
Luckily, Mackenzie didn’t quarrel with him over this. She instructed coldly,
“From now on, don’t let Sarah into our house without my permission. Do you
understand?”
“Yeah, I understand.” Emmanuel couldn’t help but get curious. “But why? She’s
also your younger sister. Why do you and Ms. Beatrix loathe her so much? You
two seem very prejudiced against her!”
Chapter 498
Emmanuel thought Mackenzie was going to say that Sarah wasn’t a kind
person. To his surprise, she replied icily with a snort, “I’m worried that you’ll
lose control over yourself and get caught up in her beauty if you two get too
close together.”
“I’ll lose control over myself?” Emmanuel was startled by this reason. Come
on, I’m a gynecologist!
Mackenzie ignored his surprise right away. Letting out another snort, she
replied, “You’re always taking liberties with me and leching after me. Isn’t it
normal for me to be worried about this?”
but I
Emmanuel was rendered speechless. It’s true that I did lech after you,
absolutely never had that kind of desire for any other woman, nor do I have
any desire for Sarah, for heaven’s sake! That being said, it wasn’t really wrong
of his wife to say that, so he had no choice but to refrain from protesting his
Innocence.
“Sit down and take off your shirt!” ordered Mackenzie all of a sudden.
Emmanuel didn’t know what she was up to, but he nonetheless did as he was
told.
Mackenzie picked up the arnica cream and applied it to him with her fair
hand. She rubbed it pretty hard, but he put up with the pain nonetheless.
After all, he couldn’t ask too much of it when a woman as proud and aloof as
his wife was willing to put medicine on him.
“Why did you get into a fight again? Don’t tell me it was for Sarah?”
questioned Mackenzie.
“Of course not!” denied Emmanuel at once.
Only then did Mackenzie rub the cream more gently into his back.
Unexpectedly, Emmanuel continued, “I went to the Lenoir residence to see
General Lenoir!”
“What? Are you out of your mind?” Startled, Mackenzie rubbed his back too
hard.
Emmanuel jumped up in pain. He turned around, saying, “Mackenzie, are you
putting medicine on me, or are you venting your anger on me? If you’re
upset, just hit me right away!” This is making me really uneasy! he thought.
Mackenzie didn’t stray away from the topic, though. She anxiously asked, “Did
they do this to you at the Lenoir residence?” It’s considered amazing for my
husband to be able to go to the Lenoir residence with a vendetta and come
back alive. That being said, the Quillens are no pushovers either. Emmanuel is
my husband; if he gets beaten up one–sidedly by the Lenoirs, I must seek
justice for him!
“Uh–huh.” Emmanuel nodded. “General Lenoir sent Mr. John and Mr. Lenoir to
take on me, saying that he would overlook this as long as I could beat them!”
“And you won?” asked Mackenzie nervously.
Emmanuel nodded.
A proud smile spread across Mackenzie’s face. My husband certainly can’t be
defeated by someone else, no?
Emmanuel then said, “But General Lenoir only said he would overlook what
happened to Tobias. He’s still going to hold the Quillens and me accountable
for Claudette’s death!”
He thought Mackenzie would get angry about this, but to his surprise, she
looked as if she had long predicted this. Actually, she had long known that
the Lenoirs working with the Newmans to bring down the Quillens by
commercial means was premeditated. It wasn’t at all because of the deaths
of both Claudette and Tobias; their deaths had merely given the Lenoirs a
justifiable excuse for what they did.
In reality, both she and Terence had long been aware of the Lenoir family’s
ambitious designs. Felicity had married into the Quillen family back then
because the Lenoirs had wanted to rise to prominence in the commercial
world on the coattails of the Quillens. This was why Terence had hardly given
Felicity any commercial holdings and property so far–he was preventing her
from siding with the Lenoirs. If she betrayed the Quillens and gave the
family’s business and profits away to the Lenoirs, it would be too late for the
Quillens to regret it!
Emmanuel didn’t know about Mackenzie’s identity until recently, so it went
without saying that he didn’t know so much information. Seeing that she
didn’t respond, he continued, “Claudette isn’t dead yet, and General Lenoir
promised me that he’ll stop targeting us as long as 1 can bring her back to
life! He made this promise in front of everyone. Surely, he can’t go back on it
as a military general, no?”
All at once, Mackenzie had surprise–and even a hint of disbelief–written all
over her face. “What? You want to save Claudette?”
Emmanuel nodded with determination. “It was because of us that she got
shot through by a bullet. I have to save her no matter what!”
Chapter 499
Mackenzie had a complicated look on her face. “Are you confident about it,
then?”
Emmanuel shook his head. “I’m afraid I can’t do it with my medical skills, but
my Master probably can!”
“Oh? So, you have a Master?” replied Mackenzie without thinking, but her eyes
weren’t looking at him. She didn’t know what her feelings were at this
moment. She knew that Claudette had only ended up like this in order to
save her and Emmanuel, for which she would always be in her debt. That
being said, Claudette was her number one love rival, after all, not to mention
that this woman had died to save them. If she really were to come back to
life, she would only mean more to Emmanuel than before. If Claudette wants
to continue chasing after Emmanuel after that, what am I supposed to do
about this savior of mine?
“That’s right! My Master is a miracle doctor. As long as I find him, he’ll surely
bring Claudette back to life!” replied Emmanuel excitedly; he seemed
brimming with confidence. Just when he feared that Mackenzie would ask
him who his Master was, she merely replied, “Oh,” and walked out of the room
with a heavy heart.
He knitted his brows. What’s wrong with Mackenzie? Does she not want me to
save Claudette? No, that won’t be the case! He understood Mackenzie’s
character and knew that she was a warmhearted woman beneath her cool
exterior. Claudette had died in order to save her, so how could she possibly
not want him to bring her back to life?
They never spoke again that night. Thinking that Mackenzie was angry about
Sarah’s visit, Emmanuel didn’t try to talk to her when he saw that she was
busy with work.
The next morning, he drove her to work as usual.
Before getting out of the car, Mackenzie finally broke the silence between
them. “Pick me up this evening. We’re going back to my home.”
“Going back to your home?” Emmanuel didn’t pick up on what she meant for
a moment. Don’t we go back to your home every single day?
Luckily, Mackenzie was clever enough to see at a glance that this dunce
wasn’t on the right track. She quickly added, “I mean, we’re going back to the
Quillen residence. It’s my mom who asked for that!”
Emmanuel replied, “Oh, okay!” All of a sudden, he felt a sense of pressure. This
was his first time going back with Mackenzie to her parents‘ home! A wealthy
and powerful family like that must have a lot of people, no? Most importantly,
this was requested by Felicity herself. He wondered what his mother–in–law’s
intention was.
After Mackenzie went to work, Emmanuel instantly phoned Eve, asking her to
call Kolton to find out where Santiago was right now.
Eve agreed to do so, saying that she would let him know as soon as she
heard of anything.
At 5.00PM, Emmanuel started waiting downstairs outside the Terence Group
headquarters for Mackenzie to get off work. He was feeling slightly nervous.
Mackenzie left work on time at 6.00PM. After getting into Emmanuel’s car, she
immediately ordered, “Let’s go!”
Taking a short breath, Emmanuel replied, “Okay. Which way do we go now?”
“I’ll send you the location. Just follow the GPS directions,” replied Mackenzie
before looking at him with her attractive eyes. She asked, “You’re nervous?”
Emmanuel nodded with a slightly wry smile. He felt like back when he had
entered the battlefield for the first time. He had entered the battlefield a
million times, but as it turned out, he would nonetheless feel nervous when
going back with his wife to her parents‘ house for the first time!
“Relax!” replied Mackenzie assertively. “You’re my husband. I won’t let anyone
give you a hard time!”
Emmanuel was amused. “Why does it feel like I’m the wife here, while you’re
the husband?” He let out an inward sigh. With such a self–assertive wife, it’s
no wonder why some people think I’m a toy boy.
Chapter 500
Emmanuel soon drove up to the Quillen residence.
He had been to the Lenoir family’s majestic and imposing villa before.
Nevertheless, he was astounded at seeing the Quillen residence. Even the
courtyard of this place was larger than his house! And besides, its decoration
was obviously much more elegant and beautiful than that of the Lenoir
residence. This place is simply paradise!
Even now, he still couldn’t believe that a man of humble stock like him had
actually married the daughter of such a wealthy family. No one would even
dare to write a story like this! In the middle of his trance, he forgot how he
had followed Mackenzie into the main hall. He felt as if he had entered a
huge labyrinth.
In the main hall was a long dining table covered with all kinds of delicious
food. It seemed that a dinner party was about to take place, but no one else
from the Quillen family was present yet at the dining table–except for Sarah.
“Hi, Mackenzie and Manuel!” she said, greeting the couple with a sweet smile.
Mackenzie didn’t respond, while Emmanuel nodded and replied with a smile,
“Nice to see you again, Sarah!”
Sarah continued to smile, saying, “Uh–huh. Dinner’s about to start very soon,
but Mom asked me to take you to her when you arrive. Manuel, can you
come with me now?”
“No!” replied Mackenzie icily at once.
It was Felicity who requested that she bring Emmanuel home for dinner. Her
excuse sounded justifiable: Emmanuel hadn’t visited the Quillens since
marrying her, so they had to come here for dinner. Such an excuse left her
with no room for refusal. Terence, of course, agreed to this; after all, he would
also like to see this grandson–in–law of his urge him to have children with his
granddaughter. However, Mackenzie knew that Felicity must be up to
something. Nothing good will come out of her meeting Emmanuel alone! she
thought.
“Well…” Sarah looked troubled. She looked at Mackenzie, then at Emmanuel.
Emmanuel also found himself in a tight spot. He hurriedly said to Mackenzie,
“Mackenzie, this isn’t nice, don’t you think? Your mother is my mother–in–law,
so it’ll be disrespectful of me to refuse when she wants to see me. And
besides, surely you don’t want me to get into trouble with your family? Should
that happen, how am I going to visit your home a second time?”
Mackenzie pursed her lips lightly. I just knew long ago that getting married
was going to be troublesome, and here I am, tied down by a whole lot of
ethical and moral customs! Well, since I’ve decided to stay in this marriage, I
have no choice but to give in sometimes! “Alright, then, you go with her. But
remember this: no matter what my mother says to you, don’t rush into any
decision! Come back and tell me about it first. You got it?”
Emmanuel smiled at her. “Yeah, I got it, Mackenzie!” He had never thought
before that this icy lady would actually have this side to her. Only now did he
find that she was, in fact, a very good wife.
Mackenzie didn’t forget to add, “Mm–hmm, just go with her. Hurry up and
come back for dinner. Don’t keep Grandpa and me waiting, or we’ll come
looking for you!” The longer Felicity talked to Emmanuel, the higher the risk, so
she also had to put pressure on the former. She knew that Sarah was
Felicity’s most trusted person, so words directed at Sarah would be
equivalent to words directed at Felicity herself.
“Well then, Manuel, please come with me!” Still smiling, Sarah stood up and
led Emmanuel out of the main hall.
As Emmanuel walked behind Sarah, he finally got a good look at what she
was wearing. “Sarah, you look so pretty today!” he couldn’t help but remark
with admiration at this moment.
Today, Sarah was clad in an off–the–shoulder white dress that showed off
her beautiful clavicle. Her fair skin looked even lovelier with the sparkling
diamond necklace around her neck, while tied around her waist was a sash
bow from Chanel, which seemed simple but was by no means cheap. The
skirt of her dress was so white as though it were transparent, and it vaguely
showed a woman’s soft outline and silhouette. Not only that, it puffed out
gracefully at the bottom, revealing Sarah’s slender and smooth legs, which
looked as if they were carved out of jade. The truth was, Sarah wasn’t as
coolly and elegantly stunning as Mackenzie, but she was absolutely a
graceful and pretty girl with her blunt bangs.
“Haha! Is that so?” Sarah suddenly looked back and tittered with her hand
over her mouth. “Thanks for the compliment, Manuel. But no matter how
good–looking I am, I can never compare with Mackenzie, no?”
