Chapter 699


    Ashton had been eavesdropping at the door. Even though the small room


    was soundproof, she could still hear Sage’sughsing from the room


    time and again. Who exactly is Emmanuel? She had been with Sage for three


    years but never heard himugh this many times!


    Creak…


    When she heard noisesing from the metal door, she hastily ran away in


    case she got found out.


    “Ashton, I’ve recorded Emmanuel’s confession. Send him home for me.”


    “What? I have to send him home?” She could not believe what she was


    hearing. Sage not only wanted to let Emmanuel off the hook, but he also


    wanted her to send him home!


    “Why? Is there a problem? Weren’t you the one who brought him here in the


    first ce?” Sage frowned.


    She immediately saluted. “Yes, sir!” Her respect for Sage for the past three


    years was already second nature, not to mention now when she worked


    under him.


    “Goodbye, then.” Sage waved at Emmanuel.


    Before leaving earlier, Emmanuel told Sage he should not refer to him as ‘Mr.


    Lowe‘ when others were around. Although Emmanuel did not tell him about


    the mission he shouldered, they had gone through hell together, so when he


    requested that, Sage immediately understood.


    After making the necessary drrangements, Sage hastily went to the


    reception room. He received a report from his subordinate that the young


    After he retired from the military in the Northern Region, Sage was


    immediately assigned the position of grade two inspector because of his


    amazing experience. In just 6 months, he solved many huge cases, hence


    being promoted to grade one inspector.


    He was initially stationed in another city and was once again nominated to


    the position of General. However, when he heard that Casper died in


    Yeringham, he took the initiative to apply for a transfer here. That was how he


    retained his original grade.


    After working in many cities, he also learned some lessons about being an


    officer. He had to abide by thew, but at the same time, he had to be


    graduallye to a dead end.


    When he first came here, he already knew that the Quillens were the greatest


    family in Yeringham, so he was surprised to learn that the youngdy of that


    family would personally visit him so soon.

    When he arrived at the reception room and saw the charming women there,


    he was slightly stunned. As a grade one inspector, he was considered one of


    the higher–ups, so for the past three years, he had been to several


    gatherings of the upper sses. Hence, he had met many so–called


    super–wealthy youngdies.


    However, even those famous youngdies were no match for Ms. Quillen,


    who was right in front of him. Her beauty was overwhelming, and the single


    Sage was immediately drawn to her.


    “Hello, Captain Payne.” Lexi immediately stood up and introduced to him, “This


    is the CEO of Terence Group, Ms. Mackenzie Quillen.”


    Mackenzie also stood up politely as she gave him a slight nod, doing


    everything for Emmanuel! Otherwise, she would never take the initiative like


    this.


    “Hello, Ms. Quillen. I’m Sage Payne.” He smiled as he walked over to her, then


    reached out a hand. “What brings you here, Ms. Quillen?”

    That was his first time asking a woman for a handshake of his own ord.


    He had been single for the past 30 years, but at that moment, he could hear


    every single heartbeat of his. Oh no! Am I having a crush? Did I fall for Ms.


    Quillen at first sight?


    “Captain Payne, I’m here to ask about the progress made on the murder case


    of the Lenoirs.” Mackenzie lightly shook his hand as she directly exined her


    reason for the visit. After marrying Emmanuel, her misandry seemed to be


    cured without her noticing it.


    “Oh, I see. I’ll deal with the case righteously and find the real culprit who


    murdered Ms. Lenoir, so rest assured, Ms. Quillen.” With that, Sage asked


    subconsciously, “Are you a good friend of Ms. Lenoir’s, Ms. Quillen?”


    He knew about udette’s identity, so he thought that the youngdies from


    the two great families were best friends, and that was why Mackenzie had


    hurried over to ask about the case and even tried to pressure him into


    convicting Emmanuel.


    Even so, he would never do that.


    “Something like that.” Mackenzie smiled lightly.
