Chapter 73

Two more men appeared behind the car and smashed the rear

windscreen mercilessly with hammers.

“I’m scared, Mackenzie!” Beatrix had never been in a situation like that

before, and she was hugging Mackenzie in fear.

“Reverse the car!” Mackenzie commanded the driver. She was as cool as a

cucumber despite the dangerous situation they were in.

When the driver reversed the car and forced the men behind the car to

retreat, Mackenzie opened the car door and hopped out of the car.

The moment she alighted, the men surrounded her, giving the driver the

chance to bring Beatrix to safety.

However, a car showed up from behind and blocked their escape route.

Mackenzie thought it was the enemies, but upon taking a closer look, she

saw Emmanuel in the car..

“What a fool!” Mackenzie fumed. He’s blocking Beatrix’s escape route!

What an incompetent man!

Mackenzie was enraged, but she didn’t have time to reprimand Emmanuel

because a few burly men were charging toward her.

Mackenzie swiftly grabbed one of the men’s hands and broke his arm.

Mackenzie’s driver was stunned when he saw her defeating the man in a

single move. He turned and glanced at Beatrix, who was trembling in fear.

They grew up in the same household, no? Why are they so different?

Beatrix knew what was on his mind. She thundered, “What are you looking

at? Mackenzie and I are just different!”

Meanwhile, Mackenzie had defeated three other men.

Right when she thought she had defeated them, she felt her heart skip a

beat because she realized someone was attacking her from behind.

She tried to turn around and stop the man, but she failed.

2/9

The man was quicker than her, and he managed to counter all her moves.

Shit!

Mackenzie was certain that the man was a trained murderer, and she was

no match for him.

Noticing that Mackenzie was at a disadvantage, Beatrix screamed, “Watch

out, Mackenzie!”

The man suddenly grabbed her wrists, and Mackenzie was too weak to

break free. There and then, she saw a metal rod swinging toward her. He’s

going to kill me! The metal rod is coming nearer, and I can’t dodge it!

Beatrix knew Mackenzie was in grave danger, and she was horror-struck.

Thud!

At that critical moment, a strong man shielded Mackenzie and held the

metal rod with one hand.

“Emmanuel!” Mackenzie was shocked. He looks so brave and cool! He

doesn’t look like someone who would cheat on his wife!

“How dare you hurt my wife? I’ll kill you!” Emmanuel roared domineeringly.

“Fool!” The man was angered. He let go of Mackenzie’s wrists to swing his

metal rod at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel caught the metal rod with ease.

Mackenzie was stupefied. I couldn’t even break free from the man, but

Emmanuel has just handled him with ease!

Emmanuel threw a punch and sent the man flying away. The punch was

so powerful that the man’s teeth shattered on the spot.

“Wow! That’s so cool!” Beatrix, who was watching from inside the car,

clapped excitedly.

Needless to say, Beatrix was no longer worried or anxious. Emmanuel is so

powerful! What a man!

The rest of the burly men knew they were no match for Emmanuel when

they saw him fight. They abandoned their fallen friends and quickly

returned to their car.

“Don’t let them run!” Mackenzie ordered and went after the burly men.

Emmanuel felt helpless when he saw that. I knew my wife was an

indifferent woman, but I didn’t know she was this tough.

Yet, Beatrix saw it coming. Mackenzie will go after those who mess with

her!

“Be careful!” Emmanuel suddenly shouted.

He had been on the battlefield, so he could sense danger from miles

away.

When the burly men in the car saw Mackenzie chasing after them, they

threw daggers at her.

Mackenzie was caught by surprise.

Emmanuel pounced on her and pushed her to the ground.

5/9

Fearing that Mackenzie would get hurt, he swiftly got under her to cushion

the fall.

The burly men fled and didn’t dare to fight back because they were

stunned by Emmanuel’s fighting skills and aura.

“Hey, are you all right?” Mackenzie sat up and shook Emmanuel’s body.

“M-Ms. Quillen… could you promise me that you will come home with me

to see my mother tomorrow?” Emmanuel held her hand tightly and stared

at her passionately.

“How could you ask that question at a time like this?” Mackenzie clenched

her teeth, worried that the daggers might’ve hit him.

“P-Promise me you’ll come home with me!” Emmanuel stammered. Mom

has already prepared everything. If Mackenzie were to reject me now,

Mom would be utterly disappointed! Heck, Mom might not be able to take

-it-emotionally!

“I didn’t say I wasn’t going back.” With that personality of hers, Mackenzie

would never promise him anything directly.

Emmanuel chuckled upon hearing that. She’s right. She never said she

wasn’t going back with me.

“Haha! Let’s get out of here!” Beatrix said to the driver, knowing Emmanuel

wasn’t injured. Emmanuel did that to scare Mackenzie! If Mackenzie finds

out about it, he’s doomed!

“Ms. Beatrix, won’t Ms. Mackenzie get angry if we leave now?” The driver

didn’t dare to drive off.

7/9

“Are you not scared about pissing me off? If we don’t leave now, we’ll be

playing gooseberry!” Beatrix glared at the driver. “If you don’t drive away

now, I’ll fire you tomorrow! If you leave now and Mackenzie reprimands you

tomorrow, I’ll defend you. Don’t worry!”

Only then did the driver dare to speed off.

Mackenzie didn’t know the driver had already driven off. She hurriedly

reached out to touch Emmanuel’s back. What? This is sweat instead of

blood!

Perplexed, Mackenzie looked around and saw three daggers on the

ground. None of the daggers hit him!

“You! You were pretending!” Mackenzie didn’t expect Emmanuel to pull

such a trick on her. I never knew he was a sharp-witted man because he

seemed so innocent! He fooled me! One truly can’t judge a book by its

cover!

“I wasn’t pretending!” Emmanuel laughed. “I was merely panting because I

was tired!”

“Go to hell!” Mackenzie stood up, stomped her feet, and turned around to

leave. What? My car is gone! Damn it! I’ll give Trixy a piece of my mind

when I’m back.

Seeing that Mackenzie’s car was gone, Emmanuel dashed toward her. “I

didn’t say I was hurt, did I?”

Mackenzie snorted coldly and turned away. I’m not in the mood to talk to

him!

“By the way, should we call the police? Do you know who sent those men

to attack you?” Emmanuel asked.

“Of course I do.” Despite deciding to ignore Emmanuel just a few seconds

ago, Mackenzie answered immediately, “It must be Gautier!”
