Chapter 702
Mackenzie would not be so petty. But as Emmanuel’s wife, having witnessed
such a situation, she needed to get things straight.
“Mackenzie, she ripped the suit you gave me!” Emmanuel related with a trace
of frustration in his tone.
Seeing his slight grievance, Mackenzie curved her lips into a barely
noticeable smile, feeling inexplicably pleased. Huh, to think this dumbo cares
so much about something I get him.
“So, you decided to rip her clothes in return?” Mackenzie asked, amused.
“No, she ripped her own clothes. I just wanted her to apologize to me, but she
refused!” Emmanuel explained, still feeling somewhat upset.
In that instance, that woman probably didn’t think she did anything wrong
and even thought that he had harassed her instead.
Mackenzie smiled gently. “Never mind. I’ll get you a few more suits another
time.”
“What? Still sulking?” Mackenzie asked curiously.
For the first time, she saw this man acting like a child, in need of her comfort.

got me. I plan to get it mended!” Emmanuel said earnestly.
Pfft! Mackenzie couldn’t help bursting into laughter.
Her smile was enchanting!
Emmanuel felt his wife’s beauty truly shining through at that moment. He
silently thanked his ancestors for letting him marry such an enchanting
woman.
“Sure, do as you please!” Mackenzie brushed off his intention to repair the
clothes. After their conversation, her mood became notably brighter!
“How’s the case? Will those people still trouble you because of the Lenoir
family?”
“They probably won’t anymore.”
When it came to the serious matter, Emmanuel reverted to his usual
demeanor, “Taking down Black Bear was an act of self-defense. The one
responsible for killing Claudette is Magnus, and her body hasn’t been found
yet.”
“Not found?” Mackenzie was slightly taken aback.
She knew the Lenoir family’s villa better than Emmanuel and immediately
said, “Although the cliff is high, it’s not over a river, and it’s relatively flat below.
If Claudette fell, there’s no reason they wouldn’t find her!”
”
This time, it was Emmanuel’s turn to be taken aback. “Mackenzie, are you
implying that Claudette might not have fallen?”
Mackenzie nodded in affirmation.
A glimmer of hope flickered in Emmanuel’s eyes, but it quickly dimmed.
If Claudette was in good health, there might be a chance for her survival.
However, in her near-death condition, even if she was left somewhere
midway, she would still be a goner.
“Alright, let’s take solace in the circumstances.”
Knowing what was going through his mind, Mackenzie comforted him, “We
can mourn her at the Lenoir Residence once the police find her.”
Emmanuel sighed deeply and nodded without a word.
In Polperro, a TV show was being recorded.
The show, titled ‘Super Brain’, featured dozens of the nation’s top academic

The heavyweight guest of this episode was none other than Magnus Zelinsky!
An exceedingly difficult question left all the contestants stumped.
This question demanded a 5-star reasoning ability, coupled with a 5-star
memory capacity. Even the spatial and computational skills required were
rated at 3 stars!
“Ladies and gentlemen, since no one has managed to conquer the
challenge, how about we invite the esteemed Magnus to give it a try?” The
host suddenly altered the program’s flow in order to build the atmosphere.
“Sounds good!”
“We’re all for it!”
“Is Magnus truly the genius he’s reputed to be, or is it just an empty
reputation? We’ll see based on his performance this time!”
“I’m so excited!”
Amidst the cheers of the live audience and contestants, Magnus, wearing an
elegant smile, took the stage.
The time limit for the question was 40 minutes. Magnus, however, took just 18
minutes to solve the puzzle.
“Alright, next comes the moment of truth, our validation!” The host exclaimed,
and the tension in the room was palpable as everyone held t
