Chapter 125


    During the meal, Mackenzie’s phone rang.


    Beatrix and Lexi lowered their heads before glimpsing at her.


    They didn’t have the nerve to y with their phones while eating with


    Mackenzie. If their phones were the ones ringing, they’d need to ask her for


    permission to answer it.


    Of course, Mackenzie usually never answered calls while eating. However,


    that one was an exception because she epted it after seeing the


    caller.


    After the person on the other side spoke for a while, she coldly replied,


    “Mhm. I understand.” Then, she put the phone away.


    Beatrix’s head was still lowered as she mouthed a few words at Lexi. “It’s


    Manuel.”


    Lexi grinned in secret. It seems that man is always granted special


    privileges by Ms. Quillen.


    When Mackenzie swept her gaze past them, they swiftly pretended to


    focus on their meals.


    (


    “Help me look into something, Lexi,” ordered Mackenzie abruptly.


    It was why she asked Lexi out for a meal.


    There were three reasons Lexi sessfully became the personal assistant


    to Mackenzie.


    Firstly, she also graduated with MBA. Thus, she was knowledgeable and


    capable.


    Secondly, she was the daughter of a prominent family. While her family


    wasn’t as influential as the Quillen family, they were still distinguished.


    Thirdly, she was a hacker with a unique source of intel.


    “Say the word, Ms. Quillen.” Lexi revered Mackenzie. In addition to how she


    admired Mackenzie’s sess and her rtionship with thetter, she


    genuinely respected and looked up to her employer.


    “I want you to locate Emerson and see if he’s imprisoned in northern


    Manchernius,” requested Mackenzie.


    Promptly, Lexi replied, “Roger!” This is a piece of cake for me. Since more


    than twenty years ago, plenty of people have illegally traveled to another


    country to perform activities deemed criminal by localw. It had gotten


    particrly bad in the past few years. Although, there’re only a few


    methods one could utilize to leave the country in that manner. With


    Terence Group’s resources and my personal intelligencework, it’s not


    difficult for me to locate who had left the country through those secret


    channels recently.


    A thought struck Mackenzie’s mind before she ryed another order.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “Also, send someone to investigate Emmanuel’s granddad.”


    Beatrix was stunned and couldn’t help but tease, “Have you started


    getting curious about Manuel’s background? Are you learning more about


    him because you n to live the rest of your life with him?”


    Without dy, Mackenzie shot a nce at her. “It seems like you’re quite


    free, considering you have so much to say.”


    “Not at all! I’m busy, actually!” Beatrix zipped her mouth immediately. I


    don’t know if the same applies to someone else, but if I speak any further,


    she’ll definitely increase my workload. I’m not Manuel, so I don’t have


    special privileges!


    “Understood, Ms. Quillen.” Lexi nodded.


    Meanwhile, Emmanuel called many people to save Emerson. He even


    visited numerous locations for that purpose, including the police station.


    However, the police exined that they would need to cooperate with


    northern Manchernius‘ officers to rescue Emerson, and there was no


    guarantee they would seed.


    Emmanuel wasn’t worried about Emerson’s safety. However, he feared his


    uncle’s death would cause his mother to feel bad and his grandfather’s


    family to harass his family.


    It wasn’t until ten in the night that Emmanuel returned home, exhausted.


    When he saw Mackenzie doing something on the balcony, he approached


    her, intrigued.
