âMs. Quillen, youâre awake!â Emmanuel heard the voice in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.
âYou⦠You need to let me go!â Mackenzieâs voice grew a degree colder.
Emmanuel sighed and nodded, gently setting his wife down.

Mackenzie made a determined effort to stand, pushing Emmanuel away with a frigid demeanor. âDonât⦠Donât touch me! I can stand on my own!â
âAlright⦠Alrightâ¦â Emmanuel raised his hands, indicating that he wouldnât touch the woman before him again.
He would certainly be upset if any other woman treated him like this, thinking she was ungrateful. However, this was his beloved wife.
Mackenzie, not recognizing him at the moment, appeared more distant and colder. Strangely, the more distant she acted, the more at ease and happy Emmanuel felt.
âThank you for saving me. Give me your account information. Iâll compensate you when I get back!â Mackenzie maintained her proud and sharp tone.
âNo need,â Emmanuel replied, still watching their surroundings. He noticed that the villaâs assailants had retreated, so they should be out of immediate danger. He also heard gunshots and explosions coming from the hill behind the villa, suspecting that Nathanâs forces were engaging the assailant organization. He had to go there quickly. After all, Nathan was his disciple and had just helped his wife tremendously, so he couldnât stand idly by.
âStop!â Mackenzie, however, called out to Emmanuel as he turned to leave.
Is this man refusing my monetary reward because he wants me to owe him a favor? Hmph, not a chance!
With a touch of spite, Mackenzie continued, âYou better give me your account information, or donât expect me to owe you any favors! Andâ¦â She paused a beat before adding, biting her lip, âI want to make this clear: I already have a husband. You canât like me! You canât have any inappropriate thoughts about me!â
She remained cold and proud, but Emmanuel couldnât help but smile.
Although Mackenzie couldnât see his smile, she could sense it.
âMs. Quillen, whether I like you or not is my prerogative! I wish you a long and happy life with your husband. Goodbye!â Emmanuel finished speaking and swiftly headed toward the direction of the hill.
At that very moment, a car approached.
âMs. Quillen!â Lexi, upon seeing Mackenzie, breathed a sigh of relief and rushed out of the car, exclaiming, âThank goodness, Ms. Quillen, youâre safe! I was so scared when I saw so many bodies!â
Noticing that Mackenzie wasnât responding, Lexi followed her gaze but didnât see anything. Turning back to Mackenzie, Lexi realized that her boss seemed preoccupied.
âMs. Quillen, whatâs wrong?â
âI⦠Iâm fine. Letâs get out of here!â Mackenzie snapped back to reality and, along with Lexi, quickly got into the

Under the cover of the night, Emmanuel watched his wife and Lexi drive away. Only then did he fully exhale in relief and hurriedly ran toward the densely wooded hillside.
In the small hillside, the Chapman familyâs bodyguards were already surrounded by the assailant organization.
Amidst the hail of bullets and explosions, Nathanâs loyal and brave bodyguards fell one by one.
âD*mn it! What grudge does the Holy Fire organization have against me? Do they have to go to such lengths to kill me?â Nathan leaned against a boulder, a bitter and angry expression on his face.
He was cornered!
âSurrender, Mr. Nathan!â Under the cover of darkness, a woman in a leather jacketâs proud voice echoed. âYou have no chance of winning. If you donât want to die, surrender and hand over the sisters from the Tanner family!â
