Chapter 688


    After Noah attacked Jacob, he closed his eyes in frustration as he tried to


    restrain a snarl from forming on his face. At this point, he had no idea what to


    do with this situation and definitely couldn’te up with a way to salvage


    this mess. Although he knew that the Zimmerman family was no match for


    his family, he was still in the wrong for venting his anger at Jacob.


    Just then, Ignacio came over with a group of people and asked with a frown,


    “What’s going on?”


    Noah hastily approached him and frantically recounted what happened in


    hushed tones.


    Ignacio furrowed his brows upon hearing Noah’s tale. He was currently trying


    to partner with the Quillen family in the energy business, so he couldn’t allow


    the Zimmerman family to ruin his n at such a critical moment. If the


    Quillens decided to vent their anger on him, he would be doomed.


    So, he considered things for a moment before finally announcing, “I’m sorry.


    There’s been a misunderstanding today because both families haven’t


    Meanwhile, Mni stood dazedly as if she was a mere audience to this


    doomed wedding and not the bride herself. She understood that her


    wedding was ruined because she had offended Mackenzie. Nheless, she

    was also smart enough to understand she was nothingpared to


    Mackenzie. So, she didn’t dare to vent her fury on the other woman. Thus, she


    shoved all the me on Emmanuel for her misfortune instead.


    That good–for–nothing is definitely resentful of me because I refused to


    marry him back then. Now that he’s married to a wealthy woman, he’s


    determined to retaliate and rip up any possibility of me marrying well!


    Mni gritted her teeth and balled up her fists as she thought viciously, Just


    you wait, Emmanuel! I’ll do everything in my power to destroy you!


    In the meantime, Emmanuel was utterly oblivious to the havoc that was


    Mni’s wedding as he drove the Maserati, fully focused on sending


    Mackenzie home. s, the moment he got out of the vehicle, he was assailed


    by sneezes, and his eyelids twitched repeatedly.


    Mackenzie asked in concern upon noticing his condition, “What’s wrong?”


    “It’s nothing. Perhaps I’ve caught a cold,” Emmanuel replied with a smile. He


    had a healthy physique, so he was rarely sick. Besides, he didn’t even catch a


    cold after a night’s sleep outside when he was chased out of the home by


    Mackenzie previously. So, this odd reaction was rather strange. What is up


    with me today?


    Mackenzie didn’t pester him further, but she couldn’t help but feel a bad


    premonition rising in her heart. She wasn’t a superstitious woman, but she


    had dabbled in metaphysics. After all, science couldn’t exin some of the


    out–of–the–world phenomena in life.


    Nheless, they soon left the parking lot. Just as they were ready to go


    home, three people approached them out of the blue.


    The woman in front sported a ponytail. She was smartly dressed as she was


    d in uniform and a pair of ck leather boots. She was around


    five–foot–seven, and her gaze was sharp as her eyesnded on them.


    The two men behind her were wearing dark blue uniforms.


    Emmanuel and Mackenzie furrowed their brows at the sight. They had a


    feeling as to just why those people had approached them.


    “We’re from the Criminal Investigation Department, and this is my police ID.”


    Once she had shown them her ID, the woman said to Emmanuel icily, “We


    have reasons to suspect that you have been involved in two murder cases.


    Pleasee with us.”


    The instant thest sentence fell from her lips, the men behind her bristled,


    showing that they were more than ready to arrest Emmanuel through brute


    force.
