Once Emmanuel and his entourage had departed, Owen, visibly trembling
with a mixture of excitement and dread, erupted, âLarry, are you out of your
mind? These people are from the Quillen family! Rumor has it that they were
ruthlessly slaughtered by the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce! By
assisting them, arenât you brazenly defying the President? Youâll drag our
family into this perilous storm!â
Larry, his demeanor calm and composed, responded, âAnd what do you
propose? Should we summon the police or alert the Presidentâs agents,
hoping our actions might serve as a token offering?â
To Larryâs astonishment, Owen nodded in agreement, which only fueled
Larryâs frustration further.
âFoolish simpleton! Ignorant fool!â Larry scolded sharply. âIf you resort to that,
the police and any help we might call will be too late to save us from
annihilation! Canât you grasp the gravity of the situation? Emmanuelâs group
is formidable enough to lay waste to an entire city!â

âWhat?â Owenâs disbelief was palpable, âLarry, have you lost your sanity? Two
or three thousand people canât possibly destroy a city!â
Larry, exhausted and beyond the point of argument, had resolved to offer his
ald to Emmanuel. With Larryâs assistance, Emmanuel and his wife managed
to navigate their way to the southern states safely by car.
The remaining members of their group, except Rhettâwho stayed behind to safeguard Mackenzieâwere instructed by Emmanuel to proceed to the base
of the Wolf Warrior Society, where Sage and Eve would ensure their
wellâbeing.
Emmanuel, however, drove directly to the Quillen residence.
âMackenzie, Iâm so frightened,â she whispered, her voice trembling as she sat
in the passenger seat. Her hand pressed lightly against her heart, her entire
body drenched in cold sweat. The fear of what she might encounter was
almost unbearable.
âMackenzie, perhaps you should rest somewhere else first? Iâll
go and

investigate the situation,â Emmanuel suggested gently, clasping her hand
tightly, attempting to instill some courage within her.
âNo. That would only heighten my anxiety. I need to know everything
immediately,â Mackenzie insisted, her resolve unwavering. Despite having a
new phone, she hadnât reached out to Lexi yet, as she wished to see the
Quillen residence firsthand before seeking more information.
âMackenzie, do not worry. Everyone will be alright, especially your grandfather.
He is a man of great fortune, Emmanuel reassured her, his voice a mixture of
comfort and genuine belief.
Had old Terence not been favored by fortune, he wouldnât have risen from
humble beginnings to become the wealthiest man in the southern states.
This time, he and everyone else would surely prevail⦠right?
The three of them emerged from the car. Mackenzie nearly crumpled at the sight that met her eyes. Fortunately, Emmanuel was there to steady her.
âWhy? Who could have done this? Why such cruelty?â she lamented.

Mackenzie, usually a pillar of strength, had endured a year of ceaseless trials.
Now, as a pregnant woman confronting such devastation, she felt on the
brink of her endurance,
âMackenzie, let us go inside and see what has transpired,â Emmanuel said, his
eyes, fierce and pained, struggling to contain his emotions.
Mackenzie nodded, steeling herself with the resolve that, regardless of the
circumstances, she had to remain strong.
She had Emmanuel and their unborn child to think of. She had to be resilient
for those she cherished. She couldnât afford to falter.
âMs. Quillen!â
âMackenzie!â
In that poignant moment, Lexi emerged from a car parked behind them, hurrying forward with Beatrix close at her heels. The sight of them, amid the
chaos and fear, was like a beacon of hope.
âLexitâ
âBeatrix!â
At the sight of her dear friends, Mackenzie, her condition heavy with
pregnancy, was almost overwhelmed with the urge to rush toward them. The
nows that the Quillen family had been annihilated had left her heartbroken,
convinced that all was lost. But now, seeing Lexi and Beatrix again after
weeks apart felt almost like a dream.
âMackenzie! Emmanuel! Youâre finally back! Waaaahâ¦â
Beatrix dashed into Mackenzieâs arms, burying her head in her sisterâs
embrace, her tears flowing freely like a torrent of grief and relief.
âMs. Beatrix, please be cautious; your sister is pregnantâ¦â Lexiâs voice trembled
with both concern and sorrow, her eyes glistening with tears of her own.
Beatrix looked up, her face streaked with tears, but her anguish was palpable.
âWah⦠Mackenzie, I thought you and Emmanuel werenât coming back. I

thought Iâd be left alone, an orphan!â
âBeatrix, please donât cry. Tell me everything that happened,â Mackenzie said,
her voice steady despite the tumult of emotions swirling within her.
Among the three women, Mackenzie stood as the pillar of strength. While a
woman may be delicate, a motherâs resolve is unshakable. She reminded
herself to remain steadfast, for the sake of her unborn child and to support
her sister in this time of despair.
