Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 761

Chapter 761

“No, I won’t. I’ve settled down in Yeringham.” Emmanuel shook his head as he

answered Sage’s question.

As expected, Sage’s face was evident with disappointment. However, he only

sighed and nodded to express his understanding. “I see. Mackenzie is a

beautiful woman. It’s understandable that you want to enjoy life after serving

the country for years.”

His heart fluttered at the thought of Mackenzie.

If only she weren’t Emmanuel’s wife, Sage would do whatever it takes to turn

her head.

After all, it was a rare chance to meet your dream girl throughout life.

Emmanuel wore a small smile on his face. Sage was indeed right about

Emmanuel couldn’t live without Mackenzie.

First of all, she was his wife. Secondly, he must depend on her to accomplish

However, he chose not to tell Sage about his mission for now. He can think

whatever he wants.

“Did you find Claudette’s body?” He took the initiative to ask.

This matter had been weighing on his mind.

“No.” Sage shook his head and explained in detail, “We almost think

something supernatural is involved in this case. There’s a valley at the

bottom of the cliff to the south of the Lenoir Residence. The nearest river is

more than one hundred yards from where Ms. Lenoir fell. However, we just

couldn’t find her body around the valley. Besides, we spent days searching

the cliff by drone, but we found nothing. Absolutely nothing. Ms. Lenoir seems

to have disappeared into thin air. We can’t determine the nature of the case

without a body. It’ll soon become a cold case.”

Emmanuel frowned as he listened.

-After a while, he finally asked, “Is it possible that someone took her body and

erased all the traces before the police began the search?”

Sage answered with a serious expression, “We considered such a possibility.

But if someone indeed did that, they would have to wait in the valley in the

dark and leave before the police went into the valley to search. Otherwise, we

would’ve bumped into them. However, we haven’t found any suspect in the

past few days.”

“That’s strange.” Emmanuel couldn’t wrap his head around the case, but he

continued anyway, “Knowing Magnus, he’s indeed capable of assigning his

men to wait in the valley in advance. But how did they take Claudette away

without alerting you?”

The more he thought about the case, the more uneasy he got.

He didn’t want to imagine what a hypocrite like Magnus would do to

Claudette if he took her.

He would be less worried if it were just a body. What if she’s alive? The

thought made Emmanuel shudder.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll continue the investigation,” Sage promised. What concerns

Emmanuel concerns me too.

“Emmanuel, did you have a beef with Magnus because of Ms. Lenoir? Are you

suspecting him for what happened earlier?” asked Sage.

“That’s right!” Emmanuel nodded. “Hubert isn’t smart enough to pull off

today’s incident. They must be able to take into consideration the variables

to plan this. Magnus is the only person who’s capable of foreseeing this.”

As he finished his words, the pair heard a call from the side. “Captain Payne!”

Both men turned around only to see Ashton running toward them.

She had a full figure. It was hard not to notice her curves when she moved.

She had the posture of a professional athlete, unlike any ordinary girl.

“What did you find?” Sage cut to the chase.

“Sir, the preliminary investigation reveals that the negligence of the

maintenance staff caused the accident. They kept missing the loosened

parts when they were doing maintenance checks. It was a total accident.”

Ashton’s answer made Emmanuel burst out laughing. It’s so obvious. The

mastermind behind the case shifted the blame to the maintenance staff.
