Chapter 1177 Do I Need Protection?
She thought Emmanuel was much more idle than Sage. Besides chauffeuring his wife all day, who
knew what else he would normally be up to?! Still, she couldn’t bring herself to ask Emmanuel to teach
her, for that way, he would be her master!
No! Absolutely no way! She despised him and his sister. The Lowe siblings were good people.
“If your strength improves, it will be beneficial for future investigations. At least you won’t have your life
nearly taken by a woman from the Holy Fire organization with a single strike!” Emmanuel didn’t know
what she was thinking and continued to speak.
“Hmph, the next time I encounter that woman, I’ll definitely shoot her dead!” Ashton said in a somewhat
boastful manner. As the reigning femalebat champion, she has a reputation after all!
Given what she said, Emmanuel couldn’t continue the conversation.
Instead, Ashton, thinking since Emmanuel had saved her, wanted to give him some important
information, which Sage had wanted to tell him that night.
“Hey, udette Lenoir might not be dead.”
“What… what did you say?” Emmanuel immediately stopped the car, turned to look at her, and
anxiously asked, “Exin clearly. Is there new progress in the investigation?”
Ashton coldly snorted. “Don’t you already have a wife? Why are you so concerned about other
women?”
“Tell me!” Emmanuel boomed.
udette was his confidante and his best opposite-sex friend, holding a very significant ce in his
heart. He couldn’t ept Ashton beating around the bush on this matter!
“What… What’s with that attitude? Your gaze is a bit intimidating!” The hot-tempered Ashton, feeling
somewhat wronged at the moment, reluctantly exined, “We found some clothing fragments and
even hair follicles with roots at the halfway point. The identification confirmed that they belonged to
her!”
“What?!” Emmanuel’s eyes widened, immediately saying, “So, you mean udette might still be
alive?”
Even he couldn’t believe this conclusion. He knew udette’s physical condition better than anyone
else. Without his medical skills, she could have died at any moment. Moreover, falling from such a high
ce, who could have possibly saved her? Yet, as long as udette’s body hadn’t been found, he
couldn’t definitively say she was dead. At least he had to maintain a one-in-a-million hope.
Seeing his intense concern for udette, Ashton couldn’t help but sneer again. What a scumbag.
Clearly, he had a wife, yet he cared so much about other women. If he were just a typical scumbag who
cared about any pretty woman he saw, it would be one thing, but he yed double standards.
Am I not pretty too?! Why must he treat me so poorly?! Seriouslvi

At that, Ashton couldn’t help recalling two things Emmanuel had said-she wasn’t as beautiful as his
sister, and she had arge forehead.

It was truly maddening.
Despite her bad temper, she had quite a number of admirers growing up. Yet, in front of this man, it
was as if she was inadequate.
“Say something!” Emmanuel couldn’t help calling out when Ashton remained silent. After all, the police
were the ones who discovered the scene first, and he was still waiting for their conclusion.
“What do you want me to say?! Legally speaking, she can’t be dered dead yet. So, the case can’t be
ssified. Are you satisfied with this answer?” Ashton retorted without hiding her annoyance.
Emmanuel had expected her answer, but he still wanted her to say it.
He restarted the car to take Ashton home but didn’t say anything more. His mind was filled with various
spections about udette. Suddenly, Ashton, in a somewhat spoiled manner, said, “Captain Payne
ordered me to provide you with 24-hour protection because people from the Holy Fire organization are
targeting you. They want to silence you, so I’ve been assigned to keep you safe!”
Do I need a severely injured woman to protect me? Emmanuel exasperated. Seriously, Sage, did a
brick fall on your head?
“What’s with that expression?” Ashton, seeing his reaction, inexplicably got angry. “Are you looking
down on us?! I may not be as good as a fighter as you are, and my skills may not match yours, but at
least we are professionals in this field and legally armed. Moreover, it’s our duty. You are a witness in
another case, and we are responsible for protecting your personal safety!”
