Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 1199 Thanks for Saving My Wife
The leader was still at large, so their actions might be far from over yet.
âAny casualty among our employees?â Mackenzie immediately asked, her expression a bit nervous.

Emmanuel was also a bit anxious. Ryder and Sheldon were both security personnel at the Terence Group. He didnât know if they were injured. Especially Ryder, a through and through honest guy, always the most proactive in such situations; this time, he was likely at the forefront.
âWe lost seven men, and 23 were injured, totaling 30 casualties!â Wally reported, and Mackenzieâs heart skipped a
beat. She was very worried that Ryder might be one of the seven.
Seeing her abnormal expression, Emmanuel became extremely anxious.
âWell⦠How is Ryder now?â Mackenzie asked cautiously.
âHis condition is quite serious, Ms. Quillen. The doctor says he may end up disabled, and he may not be able to
continue working in the future!â
As Wally spoke, Mackenzieâs expression became extremely complex. She first sighed with relief, then took another
deep breath. Being alive was a good thing, but the aftermath was too severe.
Emmanuel, on the other hand, nervously grasped Wallyâs shoulder and anxiously asked, âWhat happened? How did Ryder end up like that?â
Before Wally could answer, Mackenzie said, âItâs all my fault. I shouldnât have let him come up with me to get the
Heart of the Sun. He took a bullet for me!â
Emmanuel was instantly stunned.
He knew Ryder even better than Mackenzie did. His cousin was the typical benevolent and zealous kind of guy. Moreover, Mackenzie treated him and Tommy very well. So, it was entirely normal that he would take a bullet for
her.
*D*mn it!â Emmanuel clenched his fist, flames burning ablaze beneath his eyes. Even Wally felt intimidated.
Mackenzie apologized again, âEmmanuel, Iâm sorry! Itâs because of my stubbornness that-â
âNo, itâs not your fault.â Emmanuel quickly turned to support Mackenzieâs shoulder, asking with gritted teeth, âWho are those thugs? Do you know who sent them?â
He was determined to avenge his cousin. Tommy already had only a single parent, and now, with Ryder becoming disabled, what would happen to his family in the future?! It was simply unforgivable!
Ashton, who was still hiding at the restaurantâs entrance, felt a bit scared seeing Emmanuel in this state. At the same time, she felt self-blame and anger. If she hadnât taken Emmanuel away, if Emmanuel had been by Mackenzieâs side, perhaps such misery wouldnât happen, right?

âItâs the Holy Fire organization, and the one leading is a woman in white!â
âThe Saintess?!â Hearing Mackenzieâs words, Emmanuel immediately guessed the identity of the person in charge.
After a while, Emmanuel said to Mackenzie, âMackenzie, let Wally and the others go back. Iâll take you home!â
He knew that if the Holy Fire organization had started its actions, they wouldnât stop halfway. Wally and the others were not combat personnel. They could handle ordinary people, but facing the ruthless thugs of the Holy Fire organization would only lead to unnecessary casualties. After all, they were just wage earners, not even the dedicated bodyguards of the Quillen residence. They were unarmed, and their reliability in a life-and-death situation was questionable. Moreover, having such a large group following them could make them an easy target.
After a moment of contemplation, Mackenzie nodded and had Wally and the others leave.
âMs. Quillen, please be careful!â
Wally and the others left, leaving Emmanuel and Mackenzie with a Bentley.
Emmanuel drove, taking Mackenzie away from the restaurant.
âEmmanuel, whatâs your plan now?â
âWait a moment, let me call Captain Payne!â
Emmanuel charged his phone using the carâs charging system and dialed Sageâs number while driving.
Mackenzie was also concerned about Sageâs current situation and said to Emmanuel, âToday, besides your cousin Ryder, Captain Payne also saved my life!â

âAlright, I really need to thank him!â Emmanuel sincerely expressed, with a lingering fear. If Sage hadnât been there, he might have lost his hard-earned wife.
Mackenzie lightly snorted, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. Emmanuelâs words made it seem like she belonged to him.
âHey, Captain Payne, itâs Emmanuel!â As soon as the call connected, Emmanuel quickly spoke, âIâm now with my wife, and she told me you saved her life today. Thank you so much!â
