Chapter 498


    Emmanuel thought Mackenzie was going to say that Sarah wasn’t a kind


    person. To his surprise, she replied icily with a snort, “I’m worried that you’ll


    lose control over yourself and get caught up in her beauty if you two get too


    close together.”


    “I’ll lose control over myself?” Emmanuel was startled by this reason. Come


    on, I’m a gynecologist!


    Mackenzie ignored his surprise right away. Letting out another snort, she


    replied, “You’re always taking liberties with me and leching after me. Isn’t it


    normal for me to be worried about this?”


    but I


    Emmanuel was rendered speechless. It’s true that I did lech after you,


    absolutely never had that kind of desire for any other woman, nor do I have


    any desire for Sarah, for heaven’s sake! That being said, it wasn’t really wrong


    of his wife to say that, so he had no choice but to refrain from protesting his


    Innocence.


    “Sit down and take off your shirt!” ordered Mackenzie all of a sudden.


    Emmanuel didn’t know what she was up to, but he nheless did as he was


    told.


    Mackenzie picked up the arnica cream and applied it to him with her fair


    hand. She rubbed it pretty hard, but he put up with the pain nheless.


    After all, he couldn’t ask too much of it when a woman as proud and aloof as


    his wife was willing to put medicine on him.


    “Why did you get into a fight again? Don’t tell me it was for Sarah?”


    questioned Mackenzie.


    “Of course not!” denied Emmanuel at once.


    Only then did Mackenzie rub the cream more gently into his back.


    Unexpectedly, Emmanuel continued, “I went to the Lenoir residence to see


    General Lenoir!”


    “What? Are you out of your mind?” Startled, Mackenzie rubbed his back too


    hard.


    Emmanuel jumped up in pain. He turned around, saying, “Mackenzie, are you


    putting medicine on me, or are you venting your anger on me? If you’re


    upset, just hit me right away!” This is making me really uneasy! he thought.


    Mackenzie didn’t stray away from the topic, though. She anxiously asked, “Did


    they do this to you at the Lenoir residence?” It’s considered amazing for my


    husband to be able to go to the Lenoir residence with a vendetta ande


    back alive. That being said, the Quillens are no pushovers either. Emmanuel is


    my husband; if he gets beaten up one–sidedly by the Lenoirs, I must seek


    justice for him!


    “Uh–huh.” Emmanuel nodded. “General Lenoir sent Mr. John and Mr. Lenoir to


    take on me, saying that he would overlook this as long as I could beat them!”


    “And you won?” asked Mackenzie nervously.


    Emmanuel nodded.


    A proud smile spread across Mackenzie’s face. My husband certainly can’t be


    defeated by someone else, no?


    Emmanuel then said, “But General Lenoir only said he would overlook what


    happened to Tobias. He’s still going to hold the Quillens and me ountable


    for udette’s death!”


    He thought Mackenzie would get angry about this, but to his surprise, she


    looked as if she had long predicted this. Actually, she had long known that


    the Lenoirs working with the Newmans to bring down the Quillens by


    of both udette and Tobias; their deaths had merely given the Lenoirs a


    justifiable excuse for what they did.


    In reality, both she and Terence had long been aware of the Lenoir family’s


    ambitious designs. Felicity had married into the Quillen family back then


    because the Lenoirs had wanted to rise to prominence in themercial


    world on the coattails of the Quillens. This was why Terence had hardly given


    Felicity anymercial holdings and property so far–he was preventing her


    from siding with the Lenoirs. If she betrayed the Quillens and gave the


    family’s business and profits away to the Lenoirs, it would be toote for the


    Quillens to regret it!

    Emmanuel didn’t know about Mackenzie’s identity until recently, so it went


    without saying that he didn’t know so much information. Seeing that she


    didn’t respond, he continued, “udette isn’t dead yet, and General Lenoir


    promised me that he’ll stop targeting us as long as 1 can bring her back to


    life! He made this promise in front of everyone. Surely, he can’t go back on it


    as a military general, no?”


    All at once, Mackenzie had surprise–and even a hint of disbelief–written all


    over her face. “What? You want to save udette?”


    Emmanuel nodded with determination. “It was because of us that she got


    shot through by a bullet. I have to save her no matter what!”
