Chapter 688
After Noah attacked Jacob, he closed his eyes in frustration as he tried to
restrain a snarl from forming on his face. At this point, he had no idea what to
do with this situation and definitely couldn’t come up with a way to salvage
this mess. Although he knew that the Zimmerman family was no match for
his family, he was still in the wrong for venting his anger at Jacob.
Just then, Ignacio came over with a group of people and asked with a frown,
“What’s going on?”
Noah hastily approached him and frantically recounted what happened in
hushed tones.
Ignacio furrowed his brows upon hearing Noah’s tale. He was currently trying
to partner with the Quillen family in the energy business, so he couldn’t allow
the Zimmerman family to ruin his plan at such a critical moment. If the
Quillens decided to vent their anger on him, he would be doomed.
So, he considered things for a moment before finally announcing, “I’m sorry.
There’s been a misunderstanding today because both families haven’t
Meanwhile, Milani stood dazedly as if she was a mere audience to this
doomed wedding and not the bride herself. She understood that her
wedding was ruined because she had offended Mackenzie. Nonetheless, she
was also smart enough to understand she was nothing compared to
Mackenzie. So, she didn’t dare to vent her fury on the other woman. Thus, she
shoved all the blame on Emmanuel for her misfortune instead.
That good–for–nothing is definitely resentful of me because I refused to
marry him back then. Now that he’s married to a wealthy woman, he’s
determined to retaliate and rip up any possibility of me marrying well!
Milani gritted her teeth and balled up her fists as she thought viciously, Just
you wait, Emmanuel! I’ll do everything in my power to destroy you!
In the meantime, Emmanuel was utterly oblivious to the havoc that was
Milani’s wedding as he drove the Maserati, fully focused on sending
Mackenzie home. Alas, the moment he got out of the vehicle, he was assailed
by sneezes, and his eyelids twitched repeatedly.
Mackenzie asked in concern upon noticing his condition, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Perhaps I’ve caught a cold,” Emmanuel replied with a smile. He
had a healthy physique, so he was rarely sick. Besides, he didn’t even catch a
cold after a night’s sleep outside when he was chased out of the home by
Mackenzie previously. So, this odd reaction was rather strange. What is up
with me today?
Mackenzie didn’t pester him further, but she couldn’t help but feel a bad
premonition rising in her heart. She wasn’t a superstitious woman, but she
had dabbled in metaphysics. After all, science couldn’t explain some of the
out–of–the–world phenomena in life.
Nonetheless, they soon left the parking lot. Just as they were ready to go
home, three people approached them out of the blue.
The woman in front sported a ponytail. She was smartly dressed as she was
clad in uniform and a pair of black leather boots. She was around
five–foot–seven, and her gaze was sharp as her eyes landed on them.
The two men behind her were wearing dark blue uniforms.
Emmanuel and Mackenzie furrowed their brows at the sight. They had a
feeling as to just why those people had approached them.
“We’re from the Criminal Investigation Department, and this is my police ID.”
Once she had shown them her ID, the woman said to Emmanuel icily, “We
have reasons to suspect that you have been involved in two murder cases.
Please come with us.”
The instant the last sentence fell from her lips, the men behind her bristled,
showing that they were more than ready to arrest Emmanuel through brute
force.
