Chapter 404
“Who?” Adolph stared at Mackenzie and questioned commandingly.
“Magnus Zelinsky!” Mackenzie answered
“What? That can’t be!” Laura exclaimed out of surprise.
Even Quintus couldn’t help but pipe in, “Mackenzie, that’s nonsense. We all
know Magnus likes my sister the most. He cares for her like she’s a princess.
Why would he kill her?”
However, Mackenzie didn’t answer him and met Adolph’s eyes without
backing down. “Easy. General Lenoir can investigate to see if it is truly him. Do
you not have the ability or the guts to do so?
“How dare you?!” Adolph’s right-hand man’s hand came swinging at her.
Mackenzie didn’t flinch at all as she stared at Adolph. She was betting that
the Lenoirs didn’t dare to touch her.
Whoosh!
As expected, the right-hand man’s palm missed her face, but the force of the
wind from the swing of his hand still grazed Mackenzie’s face and made it
sting:
“Stop! Who said you can do that?” The next second, Quintus was standing
before Mackenzie and shouting at him. Mackenzie was his goddess!
“Deputy Markus, don’t be rude. Step back!” Only then did Adolph order him to
back away sternly, but he didn’t plan on punishing his subordinate.
Then, he told Mackenzie, “I will investigate the matter. Whoever the culprit is, I
won’t let them off the hook! But there’s one more person that I won’t let slide
too!”
Mackenzie was taken aback at his tone and asked curiously, “Who?”
“Emmanuel!”
Adolph gritted his teeth and turned around to leave without more
explanation.
Not only has Emmanuel disappointed my precious daughter, but he also
failed to protect her and even let her block a shot for him! This is
unacceptable! Who does he think he is to treat my daughter like that?
He wasn’t aware of a lot of things as he was swamped with work. However,
after he spent some time investigating Claudette’s accident, he became
furious. He swore he would not let Emmanuel off easily.
Mackenzie was a smart woman and could understand where Adolph was
coming from. Unfortunately, she also knew the matter better than him and
felt that Emmanuel couldn’t be blamed for this.
What now? First things first, Emmanuel is missing. If General Lenoir finds him,
can Emmanuel handle his fury?
“Mackenzie?” It wasn’t until Quintus waved his hands before her that she
snapped back to her senses.
At that moment, Adolph and Laura had left the room and only Quintus
lingered as he filled the silence with nonsense.
She was just about to leave when Quintus suddenly said, “Oh, right,
Mackenzie. My sister was the host of the Fragrant Boudoir Tea Tasting
Ceremony. Now that she’s not around, we were thinking that you’re the best
person to attend. What do you think?”
Quintus did everything he could and even took over the management of the
Tea Tasting Ceremony just to gain the opportunity to see Mackenzie more
often. If Mackenzie agreed, he would have a legitimate reason to host the
ceremony.
Of course, he expected that she would reject him since he was used to being
turned down. Honestly, he could already recite the words she was going to
use.
To his immense surprise, Mackenzie thought about it and asked, “What do I
have to do?”
She had attended that ceremony some time ago and even took out the
-golden jade phoenix Emmanuel gave her to show off to Claudette.
