Chapter 406
“What are you looking at, Mackenzie?” Quintus asked, pacing toward her upon
sensing something off.
Mackenzie ignored him, as usual, and his jaw dropped when he saw the look
on her face. Am I seeing tears in the corners of the icy goddess’ eyes?
Meanwhile, she was so engrossed in reading that she didn’t even notice that
Quintus was next to her as she continued reading Claudette’s diary quietly.
‘I just found out today that Dr. Lowe is already married! What should I do? I
love him, but his wife is Mackenzie. How am I supposed to compete with her?’
Only then did it dawn upon Mackenzie that Claudette had felt inferior
compared to herself, but Mackenzie had never shared that same opinion.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie always felt so small, especially when Claudette was
as bold and straightforward as sunshine.
I’ve decided to heed the old woman’s words and do whatever it takes
without ruining my own name so that I can go after Dr. Lowe boldly, even
when others will think of me as the third party!’
‘Finally, my wish came true-I’m spending the night in the wild alone with Dr.
Lowe. This is as exciting and romantic as a paperback , and this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwilderness is my heaven.’
Mackenzie knew that this was the day Claudette tricked Emmanuel into
playing laser tag. Great, I would like to know if anything happened between
both of them! she thought.
‘It’s such a pity that I still can’t tempt Dr. Lowe with my body, but I know that
he’s reacting toward Mackenzie’s body. Why is this happening? Is there such
a big difference between my body and hers?’
Mackenzie couldn’t help but feel stunned when she read that paragraph, and
then a smirk appeared on her face. Hmph, did you only just find out that you
can’t be compared to me? she sniggered and continued reading.
‘The only one in Dr. Lowe’s heart is Mackenzie. What am I going to do? When
he was close to death, he still instinctively decided to save Mackenzie! Am I
going to remain in the friend zone forever?’

These were the thoughts on Claudette’s mind the night in the mountains
when she ran into assassins. It was after reading this that Mackenzie’s tears
rolled down her face. Although Emmanuel almost died to save her, she didn’t
repay his kindness in kind; not only did she throw her temper at him, she even
wanted to divorce him.
Yet, that dummy never blew his top at her and even did as she wanted,
choosing to go through with divorce without taking anything from her.
If she hadn’t found Claudette’s diary today, she would have kept on
misunderstanding him and wouldn’t have understood that she was the only
one in his heart!
Suddenly, she was overwhelmed with guilt. She was so mean to Claudette
and Emmanuel, but both of them saved her life at the cost of their own.
Now, Claudette was in this state and she couldn’t make it up to her anymore,
but Emmanuel was still alive and she had to make it up to him. It didn’t
matter what it took, she would find him, get him back to her side, and shower
him with all the love she had.
I’ve always hated owing others a favor, she thought as she couldn’t stay here
a second longer because she wanted to return immediately and look for
Emmanuel as soon as she could.
“Hey, Mackenzie! Where are you going? I haven’t found-”
A dismayed Quintus wondered why his goddess left without a word, but his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminstinct to be her bootlicker controlled his every move, and he went up to her
to offer her a ride.
“No, thanks,” Mackenzie rejected coldly, walked to her own Bentley outside,
and hopped in.
“Bye, Mackenzie! Watch out for your own safety!” He didn’t even protest as he
waved her goodbye as her car left him in the dust.
Wally shook his head when he caught sight of Quintus from the rearview
mirror and sighed wearily. I guess there’s no cure for his adoration for
Mackenzie.
That night at 10.30PM, Lexi suddenly received an order from Mackenzie to
gather the higher management staff at the company, and she sounded so
urgent as though they were facing a tough enemy.
Everyone knew how badly it affected Terence Group that the warehouse was
attacked. If it wasn’t handled appropriately, the company might suffer a
historic winter.
Beatrix showed up at the conference room, too, and just like everyone else,
she thought that Mackenzie had gathered everyone here because of the
warehouse bombing. Soon, Mackenzie walked into the room and announced
in front of everyone, “I want to find a person at all costs!” Her words were such
a bombshell that it shocked everyone in the room to see her acting so rashly.
