Chapter 403


    “Sigh. Being a simp is hard!” Quintus could cry bitter tears for himself for being


    in such a state, but he chose to be one. So, he couldn’tin to anyone.


    Tap. Tap. Tap.


    A series of footsteps interrupted Mackenzie’s line of thought.


    She looked up to see a middle-aged man with a mustache walking toward


    her.


    He had handsome features with amanding aura. He was the famous


    General Adolph Lenoir of Yeringham.


    Beside him, was a charming and sexy woman who became his wife after


    being his mistress-Laura Newman. Even though she wasn’t wearing


    revealing clothes, she still made one’s thoughts wander down the gutter.


    When Laura saw Mackenzie, she smiled, “Oh, my. I didn’t expect a guest to


    visit us tonight! The young mistress of the Quillen family is indeed gorgeous.


    No wonder men swoon over you!”

    Even though it sounded like she wasplimenting her, Mackenzie didn’t like


    it one bit.


    I’m afraid no one canpare to you if you want to talk about swooning


    men.


    “What are you here for, Ms. Quillen?” Adolph coldly demanded.


    Anyone from Yeringham would falter before him. Terence wouldn’t, but it


    would be a fifty-fifty chance that he coulde out on top. However,


    Mackenzie wasn’t scared at all even if she was just a guest.


    “I’m here to visit udette, Mr. Lenoir!”


    “Visit her?”


    Adolph raised his eyebrows and his aura even made Quintus shudder.

    “Ms. Quillen, I’ve heard rumors that you don’t really have a good rtionship


    with my daughter, though. Last time, she was assassinated in the valley and


    was shot for it. You were there on these two asions, right?”


    Mackenzie frowned at his statement as she knew he was pressuring her on


    purpose.


    She was the only outsider in the Lenoir Residence and a woman while


    numerous burly-looking guards surrounded her. If Mackenzie was just


    anyone else, she would have peed her pants by now.


    Then, Mackenzie put on a small smile before answering, “General Lenoir,


    rumors may not be true. I was there those two times, but I’m not udette’s


    enemy. I am sad that she’s in such a state right now.”


    Laura smiled at that. “People say Ms. Quillen’s intelligence and wisdom are


    outstanding. It seems that it is true now that I’ve seen it myself!”


    However, Mackenzie scoffed, “You tter me, Madam Newman. I’m just an


    ordinary person.”


    Laura harrumphed unhappily since Mackenzie addressed her as Madam


    Newman and not Mrs. Lenoir, suggesting that she was a scheming woman.


    Regardless, Adolph didn’t care about their fight and pointed at Mackenzie’s


    nose as he warned, “I don’t care what you say. All I know is that you and that


    man called Emmanuel were there both times udette has been hurt. This is


    on you both if she never wakes up!”


    Mackenzie gritted her teeth. He’s just being unreasonable now!


    She had heard stories about him as a general in Yeringham. He was known


    to be very domineering, which was also the norm for most generals.


    Nheless, it didn’t mean that she would be scared of him even if others


    were.


    “Mr. Lenoir, I’ve heard that you’re a tough guy on the battlefield. I believe


    you’re not the type to bully the weak, right? I happen to know who shot


    udette. Would you like to know that?


    Laura heard that and immediately pursed her lips as she tossed her head


    with a cold scoff.


    Naturally, Laura was the reason why Adolph had heard of Mackenzie’s


    involvement as she wanted to use his power to pressure Mackenzie. That


    was because she had always felt that Mackenzie was bullying udette.


    s, it seemed like it wasn’t working as she hoped
