Chapter 1129 He’s Indeed Connected To Magnus!


    Larapletely disregarded Beatrix, treating her cousin as a naive child.


    Returning to the office, Mackenzie sat alone in her chair, staring at theputer screen, her mind in


    disarray.


    She was confident that Emmanuel wouldn’t cheat on her behind her back, but if the news had spread


    within herpany to such a degree, it would undoubtedly soon be widespread in Yeringham.


    Now, even Lara had returned to the country to oppose Emmanuel’s entry into their family, adding


    another formidable opponent.


    Mackenzie felt truly exhausted. She didn’t want to confront her family daily over this marriage, but


    giving up on Emmanuel was absolutely impossible.


    “Complicated love!”


    After Emmanuel dropped Mackenzie off at work, he returned to the Commerce Department.


    “Hey, buddy, you were quite the manst night!”


    Derrick had been eagerly waiting for Emmanuel to return to work early in the morning. As soon as he


    saw Emmanuel, he was incredibly excited.


    Their rtionship seemed more like an insignificant fan meeting a major idol-No, like a small fry


    meeting a great hero.


    In Derrick’s eyes, a man who could defeat numerous rich and powerful young scions and win the heart


    of a goddess wasn’t just a hero; he was practically a legend.


    Three other women were in the department, sneaking glimpses at the two, whispering to each other.


    Obviously, the heroic deeds of the two from the previous night had already spread throughout the


    company. As for the source of the news, that was unclear.


    Seeing that Derrick was about to talk publicly about the previous night’s events, Emmanuel quickly


    covered his mouth and pushed him into the office.


    As soon as he let go, Derrick eagerly asked, “Was it goodst night? Was the pretty girl’s body


    amazing? Was it smooth? Tender? Tsk, tsk, tsk…”


    Seeing Derrick’s eyes sparkling brightly and nearly drooling, Emmanuel was speechless and could only


    tell him the truth. “That pretty girl is actually an assassin. I almost lost my life!”


    “No way! An assassin?” Derrick widened his eyes in disbelief. “Does she have a grudge against you?


    Did she want you to die from exhaustion?”


    “Not initially.” Emmanuel shrugged, half-truthfully saying, “Her target should be super-rich young scions


    like Nathan Chapman and ze Silverbane. She probably decided so when I messed up her rhythm.”


    “I see!” Derrick wasn’t a fool either. He immediately pped his hands and said, “I knew it! A woman


    with such talent and charm wouldn’t be a prostitute in a nightclub. She had a hidden agenda,


    huh?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Emmanuel found this big-bellied man rather easygoing,pletely unlike someone with a scheming


    nature. Taking advantage of the moment, he asked, “Mr. Finch, how did you approach Hannah and


    acquire the shares she held?”


    Since Hannah didn’t trade her shares through the tform, the two must have had private contact.


    “She was my dad’s junior in school. My dad took over her shares and arranged for me to work here to


    gain business experience,” Derrick said frankly, surprising Emmanuel. “Your dad’s junior?!”


    He always thought Derrick, with his beer belly, was at least in his thirties while Hannah was in her


    forties.


    Emmanuel would believe Derrick if he said he was Hannah’s junior, but to say Derrick’s father was


    Hannah’s senior was rather unbelievable.


    “Yeah, what’s with that expression? I’m only twenty-four this year!” Derrick shrugged, looking surprised.


    “Um, well,” Emmanuel could only chuckle awkwardly. “You really give off a more mature vibe, including


    your physique…”


    That physique clearly belonged to someone experiencing middle-aged spread. Who could’ve assumed


    Derrick was only twenty-four?! Especially after seeing how experienced he wasst night, Emmanuel


    had assumed he had been navigating the nightlife for at least a dozen years. Saying he was forty-two


    would have been more believable!


    “Haha! Talent and money are all a man needs, no? Looks and physique don’t matter at all!” Derrick


    seemed unconcerned, and it was evident he was super easygoing.


    Emmanuel really couldn’t connect him to the idea of being a mole, but he still tried to probe, “You


    mentioned you were from Zovince. Do you happen to know Magnus Zelinsky?”


    “Of course I do!” Derrick answered candidly.


    Emmanuel’s eyes subtly narrowed. He was indeed connected to Magnus!
