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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe tried to turn around and stop the man, but she
failed.
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.
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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmmanuel 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.
“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!”
