Chapter 404


    “Who?” Adolph stared at Mackenzie and questionedmandingly.


    “Magnus Zelinsky!” Mackenzie answered


    “What? That can’t be!” Laura eximed out of surprise.


    Even Quintus couldn’t help but pipe in, “Mackenzie, that’s nonsense. We all


    know Magnus likes my sister the most. He cares for her like she’s a princess.


    Why would he kill her?”


    However, Mackenzie didn’t answer him and met Adolph’s eyes without


    backing down. “Easy. General Lenoir can investigate to see if it is truly him. Do


    you not have the ability or the guts to do so?


    “How dare you?!” Adolph’s right-hand man’s hand came swinging at her.


    Mackenzie didn’t flinch at all as she stared at Adolph. She was betting that


    the Lenoirs didn’t dare to touch her.


    Whoosh!


    As expected, the right-hand man’s palm missed her face, but the force of the


    wind from the swing of his hand still grazed Mackenzie’s face and made it


    sting:


    “Stop! Who said you can do that?” The next second, Quintus was standing


    before Mackenzie and shouting at him. Mackenzie was his goddess!


    “Deputy Markus, don’t be rude. Step back!” Only then did Adolph order him to


    back away sternly, but he didn’t n on punishing his subordinate.


    Then, he told Mackenzie, “I will investigate the matter. Whoever the culprit is, I


    won’t let them off the hook! But there’s one more person that I won’t let slide


    too!”


    Mackenzie was taken aback at his tone and asked curiously, “Who?”


    “Emmanuel!”


    Adolph gritted his teeth and turned around to leave without more


    exnation.


    Not only has Emmanuel disappointed my precious daughter, but he also


    failed to protect her and even let her block a shot for him! This is


    uneptable! Who does he think he is to treat my daughter like that?


    He wasn’t aware of a lot of things as he was swamped with work. However,


    after he spent some time investigating udette’s ident, he became


    furious. He swore he would not let Emmanuel off easily.


    Mackenzie was a smart woman and could understand where Adolph was


    felt that Emmanuel couldn’t be med for this.


    What now? First things first, Emmanuel is missing. If General Lenoir finds him,


    can Emmanuel handle his fury?


    “Mackenzie?” It wasn’t until Quintus waved his hands before her that she


    snapped back to her senses.


    At that moment, Adolph and Laura had left the room and only Quintus


    lingered as he filled the silence with nonsense.


    She was just about to leave when Quintus suddenly said, “Oh, right,


    Mackenzie. My sister was the host of the Fragrant Boudoir Tea Tasting


    Ceremony. Now that she’s not around, we were thinking that you’re the best


    person to attend. What do you think?”


    Quintus did everything he could and even took over the management of the


    Tea Tasting Ceremony just to gain the opportunity to see Mackenzie more


    often. If Mackenzie agreed, he would have a legitimate reason to host the


    ceremony.


    Of course, he expected that she would reject him since he was used to being


    turned down. Honestly, he could already recite the words she was going to


    use.


    To his immense surprise, Mackenzie thought about it and asked, “What do I

    have to do?”


    She had attended that ceremony some time ago and even took out the


    -golden jade phoenix Emmanuel gave her to show off to udette.
