Chapter 73


    Two more men appeared behind the car and smashed the rear


    windscreen mercilessly with hammers.


    “I’m scared, Mackenzie!” Beatrix had never been in a situation like that


    before, and she was hugging Mackenzie in fear.


    “Reverse the car!” Mackenziemanded the driver. She was as cool as a


    cucumber despite the dangerous situation they were in.


    When the driver reversed the car and forced the men behind the car to


    retreat, Mackenzie opened the car door and hopped out of the car.


    The moment she alighted, the men surrounded her, giving the driver the


    chance to bring Beatrix to safety.


    However, a car showed up from behind and blocked their escape route.


    Mackenzie thought it was the enemies, but upon taking a closer look, she


    saw Emmanuel in the car..


    “What a fool!” Mackenzie fumed. He’s blocking Beatrix’s escape route!


    What an ipetent man!


    Mackenzie was enraged, but she didn’t have time to reprimand Emmanuel


    because a few burly men were charging toward her.


    Mackenzie swiftly grabbed one of the men’s hands and broke his arm.


    Mackenzie’s driver was stunned when he saw her defeating the man in a


    single move. He turned and nced at Beatrix, who was trembling in fear.


    They grew up in the same household, no? Why are they so different?


    Beatrix knew what was on his mind. She thundered, “What are you looking


    at? Mackenzie and I are just different!”


    Meanwhile, Mackenzie had defeated three other men.


    Right when she thought she had defeated them, she felt her heart skip a


    beat because she realized someone was attacking her from behind.


    She tried to turn around and stop the man, but she failed.


    2/9


    The man was quicker than her, and he managed to counter all her moves.


    Shit!


    Mackenzie was certain that the man was a trained murderer, and she was


    no match for him.

    Noticing that Mackenzie was at a disadvantage, Beatrix screamed, “Watch


    out, Mackenzie!”


    The man suddenly grabbed her wrists, and Mackenzie was too weak to


    break free. There and then, she saw a metal rod swinging toward her. He’s


    going to kill me! The metal rod ising nearer, and I can’t dodge it!


    Beatrix knew Mackenzie was in grave danger, and she was horror-struck.


    Thud!


    At that critical moment, a strong man shielded Mackenzie and held the


    metal rod with one hand.


    “Emmanuel!” Mackenzie was shocked. He looks so brave and cool! He


    doesn’t look like someone who would cheat on his wife!


    “How dare you hurt my wife? I’ll kill you!” Emmanuel roared domineeringly.


    “Fool!” The man was angered. He let go of Mackenzie’s wrists to swing his


    metal rod at Emmanuel.


    Emmanuel caught the metal rod with ease.


    Mackenzie was stupefied. I couldn’t even break free from the man, but


    Emmanuel has just handled him with ease!


    Emmanuel threw a punch and sent the man flying away. The punch was


    so powerful that the man’s teeth shattered on the spot.


    “Wow! That’s so cool!” Beatrix, who was watching from inside the car,


    pped excitedly.


    Needless to say, Beatrix was no longer worried or anxious. Emmanuel is so


    powerful! What a man!


    The rest of the burly men knew they were no match for Emmanuel when


    they saw him fight. They abandoned their fallen friends and quickly


    returned to their car.


    “Don’t let them run!” Mackenzie ordered and went after the burly men.


    Emmanuel felt helpless when he saw that. I knew my wife was an


    indifferent woman, but I didn’t know she was this tough.


    Yet, Beatrix saw iting. Mackenzie will go after those who mess with


    her!


    “Be careful!” Emmanuel suddenly shouted.


    He had been on the battlefield, so he could sense danger from miles


    away.


    When the burly men in the car saw Mackenzie chasing after them, they


    threw daggers at her.


    Mackenzie was caught by surprise.


    Emmanuel pounced on her and pushed her to the ground.


    5/9


    Fearing that Mackenzie would get hurt, he swiftly got under her to cushion


    the fall.


    The burly men fled and didn’t dare to fight back because they were


    stunned by Emmanuel’s fighting skills and aura.


    “Hey, are you all right?” Mackenzie sat up and shook Emmanuel’s body.


    “M-Ms. Quillen… could you promise me that you wille home with me


    to see my mother tomorrow?” Emmanuel held her hand tightly and stared

    at her passionately.


    “How could you ask that question at a time like this?” Mackenzie clenched


    her teeth, worried that the daggers might’ve hit him.


    “P-Promise me you’lle home with me!” Emmanuel stammered. Mom


    has already prepared everything. If Mackenzie were to reject me now,


    Mom would be utterly disappointed! Heck, Mom might not be able to take


    -it-emotionally!


    “I didn’t say I wasn’t going back.” With that personality of hers, Mackenzie


    would never promise him anything directly.


    Emmanuel chuckled upon hearing that. She’s right. She never said she


    wasn’t going back with me.


    “Haha! Let’s get out of here!” Beatrix said to the driver, knowing Emmanuel


    wasn’t injured. Emmanuel did that to scare Mackenzie! If Mackenzie finds


    out about it, he’s doomed!


    “Ms. Beatrix, won’t Ms. Mackenzie get angry if we leave now?” The driver


    didn’t dare to drive off.


    7/9


    “Are you not scared about pissing me off? If we don’t leave now, we’ll be


    ying gooseberry!” Beatrix red at the driver. “If you don’t drive away


    now, I’ll fire you tomorrow! If you leave now and Mackenzie reprimands you


    tomorrow, I’ll defend you. Don’t worry!”


    Only then did the driver dare to speed off.


    Mackenzie didn’t know the driver had already driven off. She hurriedly


    reached out to touch Emmanuel’s back. What? This is sweat instead of


    blood!


    Perplexed, Mackenzie looked around and saw three daggers on the


    ground. None of the daggers hit him!


    “You! You were pretending!” Mackenzie didn’t expect Emmanuel to pull


    such a trick on her. I never knew he was a sharp-witted man because he


    seemed so innocent! He fooled me! One truly can’t judge a book by its


    cover!


    “I wasn’t pretending!” Emmanuelughed. “I was merely panting because I


    was tired!”


    “Go to hell!” Mackenzie stood up, stomped her feet, and turned around to


    leave. What? My car is gone! Damn it! I’ll give Trixy a piece of my mind


    when I’m back.


    Seeing that Mackenzie’s car was gone, Emmanuel dashed toward her. “I


    didn’t say I was hurt, did I?”


    Mackenzie snorted coldly and turned away. I’m not in the mood to talk to


    him!


    “By the way, should we call the police? Do you know who sent those men


    to attack you?” Emmanuel asked.


    “Of course I do.” Despite deciding to ignore Emmanuel just a few seconds


    ago, Mackenzie answered immediately, “It must be Gautier!”
