Chapter 601


    When Emmanuel exited the room, the Lenoirs’ butler was already waiting for


    him outside. Meanwhile, Quintus threw himself at him and grabbed his


    shoulders, asking, “How is udette? Has she woken up?”


    After ncing at his surroundings, Emmanuel shook his head at him. “Not yet.


    Why don’t you head inside and see her?” Since he had discovered that


    Magnus wanted udette dead, he could not let his guard down. With


    Quintus around, at least Magnus would not dare to act rashly.


    At that moment, the butler asked Emmanuel, “Dr. Lowe, Madam asks that you


    immediately report the situation to her aftering out of the room.”


    With a nod, Emmanuel left with the butler. They passed through several


    corridors before arriving at an equipment room. Inside the room, Laura was


    making a video call with another noblewoman through arge screen,


    giggling as they spoke. Their conversation consisted of typical ttery used in


    upper society.


    When Emmanuel entered the room, he nced at therge screen and saw


    that the noblewoman was not the type of woman that wore all sorts of


    expensive jewelry like she was showing off her wealth to everyone. Instead,


    she was exuding a noble temperament from within.


    Noble and elegant! Those were the only words he could think of to describe


    the noblewoman.


    Meanwhile, Magnus was sitting quietly behind Laura like an obedient child. In


    addition, he had a graceful smile while listening to the two women


    conversing! If Emmanuel had not fought with him earlier, he would have


    thought he was a nerdy genius!


    Kolton used to tell him that the real devily hidden under a harmless


    facade, and now, Emmanuel had finallyprehended what it meant!


    “Hey, it’s Dr. Lowe. How’s udette?” Without turning off the video call, Laura


    immediately rose to her feet and approached Emmanuel, swaying her curvy


    figure.


    “Not good!” He was frank. “She might never wake up.”


    “What?!” Her figure shivered as tears poured out of her eyes like a waterfall.


    She began hitting Emmanuel’s chest the next moment to vent her emotions.


    “You liar! You lied to me! You promised that you would save my daughter! If


    udette dies, I will make sure you die with her…”


    Emmanuel frowned in pain. Though Laura seemed like a weak vixen, she was


    pretty strong. Also, she treated him like an enemy while hitting and grabbing


    him like a shrew! However, he had no time to stop her because he had


    identally met Magnus’ gaze.


    Magnus adjusted his sses while sadness filled with eyes. Who knew if they


    were real or fake?


    “How could that be? Magnus, go and check on udette. You have to make


    sure she lives! She’s the best candidate I have in mind to be my


    daughter-inw!”


    The noblewoman on-screen looked anxious.


    “Yes, Mom,” he replied quickly like an obedient child. Right before he exited


    the room, he sneaked a peek at Laura and Emmanuel from the corner of his


    eyes.


    Once he was gone, Emmanuel began to think about how he would tell Laura


    the truth. After all, Quintus was all brawn and had no brain, so it was


    unrealistic to count on him to protect udette.


    “You liar! I’m going to kill you!” Suddenly, Laura began thrashing around


    vigorously and pulling at Emmanuel’s clothes.


    The new shirt he had specially put on for tonight was ripped into pieces, and


    there were even scratches and blood on his chest and neck! Depressed, he


    thought, This woman is so powerful! Is she beating me up like how she would


    to a mistress?


    Just as he was thinking of stopping her, she suddenly threw herself at him


    and stood on her tiptoes, parting her red lips to whisper in his ear, “Dr.


    Handsome, do you have a secret to tell the little old me?”


    -Emmanuel felt electrocuted. When he looked at theputer equipment, he


    saw they were out of the picture. It was then that he realized what Laura was

    doing; she was trying to avoid the noblewoman inside the screen.


    He knew the woman before him was moreplex than she seemed! Could


    she have seen through Magnus’ thoughts too?


    “Mrs. Lenoir, someone doesn’t wish for udette to live!” He made it short and


    simple.


    Her expression showed slight shock, but she whispered in his ear, “It’s not that


    he doesn’t want udette to live. He refuses to see her be someone


    else’s wife… It’s such a pity. He knows he can’t change reality, so he destroys


    everything to save his pride…


    When Emmanuel heard that, he fell into a deep thought.
