Chapter 370
Emmanuel nodded and walked with Claudette toward the exit of the private
room. No one dared to stop them without instructions from Magnus, so they
could only watch the two leave.

“Mr. Magnus, you let them go just like that?” Hubert found it unbelievable.
Though I don’t know Mr. Magnus as well as Gautier, I’ve heard of this wealthy
young man from Zovince. I look up to Mr. Magnus the same way I look up
my older brother because I believe this genius can achieve anything he sets
his mind to. He brought so many people with him today to drive Emmanuel
away, but he couldn’t celebrate Claudette’s birthday alone, and it baffles me
that he gave up so easily. Did Mr. Magnus miscalculate this time?
“Let it be. Sometimes you need to broaden your perspective. When the
outcome is already determined, don’t worry about short–term gains or
losses.” Magnus stood up, smiled, and patted Hubert’s shoulder, leaving him
with an enigmatic statement before walking away confidently.
Today, Claudette didn’t harm his physical body, but she deeply wounded his
heart.
He was a rational man, and even with his wealth and power, he would never
openly commit murder, especially not in Yeringham. However, he would
never allow anything that harmed what belonged to him to continue to exist!
Meanwhile, Claudette reminded Emmanuel after they got into the car,
saying, “Emmanuel, don’t think that no one tried to stop us from leaving
means we won. Although I hate Magnus, I have to admit that he is a genius.
He can calculate everything accurately. His calm demeanor now means he
has a hidden move, and a storm may be brewing.”
He nodded and smiled. “It seems you know him so well!”
Then, she hurriedly explained, “It’s all out of necessity, unlike with you.” Her
reply implied that she consciously chose to understand him.
However, he pretended not to hear and started surveying the surrounding
area.
Observing Emmanuel’s reaction, Claudette couldn’t help but sigh, feeling a bit
sad. “It’s my tragedy that the person I understand the most and who
understands me the most is the person I hate the most. But…” She paused
and looked at him, who was the only one who had caused Magnus to
miscalculate his plan. After that, she smiled sweetly and said, “But today, the
person I like emerged victorious, and I had the happiest birthday with you!”
After hearing this, he smiled awkwardly but politely. It is a shame that she is
not the person I like; otherwise, tonight would have been equally joyful.
At that moment, Emmanuel’s phone rang. His eyes lit up when he saw it was
Mackenzie’s office number. “Hello, Mackenzie? Is that you? Where are you?”
His heart was filled with hope, hoping that it was his wife who was late and
not him and that he hadn’t caused her to leave in anger.

“Emmanuel, this is Ms. Quillen’s assistant, Lexi Summerton!” Lexi said from the
other end of the line.
His excitement instantly turned into disappointment, but he still asked
anxiously, “What’s wrong? Did Mackenzie ask you to call me?”
“No, our warehouse just exploded. Ms. Quillen is dealing with it urgently. Can
you come and help?” she requested urgently.
“What? An explosion?” When Emmanuel heard this, he was shocked because
that was the warehouse he had successfully completed by risking his life to
infiltrate the nightclub and deal with Samuel’s gang. It was the beginning of
his story with Mackenzie, and now someone had ruined it. He couldn’t stand
by and do nothing!
