Chapter 700


    Mackenzie was intelligent and understood what Sage implied, how


    Emmanuel was not the one who murdered udette. She breathed a sigh of


    relief in her heart but continued asking, “So, Emmanuel can go home


    anytime?”


    “Of course. He and Eve were just defending themselves,” Sage affirmed right


    away.


    At the side, Lexi secretly sighed in relief. She had no idea this young new


    captain would have such a clear judgment. Simrly, Mackenzie rxed as


    well, but her expression remained the same. She even sneaked a nce at


    his hand.


    “Oh, sorry! Pardon me.” Sage’s face was suddenly tinted red.


    Damn it! He had been alive for 30 years, but he had nevermitted a


    mistake as silly as this. He forgot to let go after shaking the woman’s hand!


    “Goodbye, then.” Mackenzie remained expressionless.


    “Allow me to see you off, Ms. Quillen.” Sage wanted to be as gentlemanly as


    possible.


    She did not decline the offer. After all, she still had to maintain this


    rtionship so that he could help her out if there ever was a need to.


    In the meantime, Ashton put on a displeased look after receiving the order


    and walked past Emmanuel. “Come with me.”


    He refused to y along with her as he said straightforwardly, “Miss Ashton, if


    you don’t wish to send me back, I can return by myself.”


    After all, no one wanted to be with an upset woman, right?


    She, however, turned around coldly and red at him. “You’d better behave


    and don’t y any tricks.” This is a trap! He’s probably being arrogant


    because he’s friendly with Mr. Payne! If I don’t fulfill my task, the b*stard will


    tattle on me to Mr. Payne!


    Emmanuel was exasperated. “Miss Ashton, you seriously don’t have to. I can


    just go back on my own.” With that, he walked away immediately.


    “Damn it. I’m casting pearls before swine!” Ashton deemed his actions as


    deliberate. She already had the urge to beat him up before this, so now, she


    stopped ying nice as she grabbed his cor.


    Not expecting the woman to attack him, Emmanuel was caught off guard

    and hastily took advantage of the situation to struggle free, tearing his shirt in


    the process.


    ck.


    Two of his buttons fell onto the floor, and so did his face. He had attended a


    wedding banquet during the day and wore a suit for the asion. It was the


    suit Mackenzie gave him when he attended the concertst time! This is my


    most treasured suit! And this woman has ruined it!


    Ashton also sensed the changes in his expression. Instead of getting scared,


    she was happy. “Serves you right! It’s just a torn cloth, but you’re so mad


    about it. Are you poor? Or are you just narrow–minded?”


    “Apologize!” Emmanuel did not bother to argue with her. This woman had torn


    his favorite piece of clothing, so she had to apologize.


    However, she behaved as if she had heard a joke. She ignored his words and


    blurted, “If you don’t want me to send you back, you can get your sorry *ss


    home by yourself!” With that, she moved to leave.


    p!


    It was Emmanuel’s turn to hold her back as he ced hisrge hand on her


    shoulder.


    “How dare you!” Ashton was fuming as well. She wanted to wriggle free but


    realized that even moving an inch would cause her immense pain. This


    b*stard has quite the strength! Also, what tactics did he use to grab me?


    “I said apologize to me!” he enunciated his words.


    She gritted her teeth. No one dared to threaten me like this since I was


    young! Also, look where we are, you dumbhead! You’re courting death!
