Chapter 1622
âHey, is this Dad?â
To Terenceâs surprise, the call connected, and a voice resembling Hannahâs
came through.
âHannah, why is it you?â Terence asked in surprise. âIsnât this Mackenzieâs
number?â
âAre you asking about Mackenzie? Sheâs in trouble.â
âTrouble? What happened?â Terence was stunned.
The voice on the other end, similar to Hannahâs, trembled as she replied,
âEmmanuel made it to the finals of the Grand Martial Showdown, but they
were all assassinated last night.â
âWhat?!â Terenceâs eyes/widened, feeling like he might faint.
âSir, are you okay?â

âOld Mr. Quillen, snap out of it!â
Marilyn and Alfred quickly supported him. Alfred immediately gave him a pill.
It took Terence a while to regain his senses.
âMarilyn, what time is it?â
âSir, itâs four in the afternoon. Youâve been out for 10 hours.â Marilyn said
anxiously. âYou seem to be in danger. Shouldnât we take you to the hospital?â
âNo need!â Terence waved his hand, forcing himself to stand with their
assistance. âAlfred, please arrange a flight. Weâre heading back to Chanaea
tonight. I need to check on the Quillen family.â
Sure, Old Mr. Quillen.â Alfred nodded and left to make arrangements.
âSir, Iâll get you something to eat and drink to replenish your energy.â
âOkay.â Terence waved his hand.
Marilyn walked away.

Terence sat down on the sofa weakly, preparing to rest, but his eyes
suddenly widened.
The coastal hotels, on Octara Island were lowârise, with the beach behind the
balcony.
At this moment, someone climbed up with a weapon.
Their faces were hidden, their eyes filled with malice.
âAlfred! Alfred!â Terence shouted urgently.
However, the assailants were faster than him, rushing towards him with
knives.
Terence was too weak to escape.
âSir!â In a split second, Marilyn shielded him with her back.
Blood dyed Terenceâs face red.

âMarilyn!â Terence exclaimed.
This was the second time she saved him.
âSir, take care of yourself!â Marilyn held the assailantâs knife, buying time for
Terence.
Another assailant aimed for Terenceâs head.
At the critical moment, a burst of energy knocked him away.
Alfredâs strike sent him crashing into the wall, coughing up blood, and dying
instantly.
âLeave one alive!â Terence kept his composure.
He wanted to know who sent the assassins to kill him.
Alfred nodded and broke the right leg of the other assailant.
Unable to escape, the assailant stabbed himself with the knife, refusing to be

captured alive.
Approaching him, Alfred checked his breath and confirmed he was dead.
âD*mn it!â Terence couldnât care less about the assailant. He shook Marilyn
gently. âMarilyn, how are you? Marilyn, pull yourself together!â
Covered in blood, Marilyn weakly opened her eyes, smiling.
âSir, I might not make it. Before I die, I have one request. Can you grant my
request?â
âMarilyn, you speak! Whatever your request, I will definitely grant it.â
Terence was also excited. Marilynâs deep affection and loyalty to him made
him unable to betray this girl who had saved his life twice.
âSir⦠I⦠Iâm a woman⦠The biggest wish in my life⦠is⦠to have a husbandâ¦
Can you⦠Can you promise me⦠to be your wife and give me legal status?â
Marilyn said weakly.
