NovelOnlineChapter 72
Mackenzie wasn’t interested to listen to his
explanation. She delivered a tight slap across his face,
then turned to leave.
Beatrix was stunned. Indeed, those who aren’t involved
will always be more clear–minded. Mackenzie is pissed
off at him and has lost her composure!
“Hear me out, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel grabbed
Mackenzie’s wrist.
Despite getting slapped across the face, he was
determined to clear things up.
Xylie panicked and sat on the bed silently. This girl is so
beautiful. What’s her relationship with Emmanuel? They
look like a couple, but why did he address her as Ms.
Quillen?
“Hmph! You have thirty seconds to explain yourself.
Let’s see what excuses you can come up with.”
Mackenzie couldn’t shake him off. This man is so strong
and brazen! Not a single man has dared to grab my
hand in the twenty–seven years of my life.

explain yourself. Who knows? If it sounds convincing,
we might believe you!” Beatrix was eager to stir the
pot. Although she said she might believe him, she
didn’t mean it.
“I came to the bar because I was figuring out ways to
fix the logo for the company. This just happened by
accident!” Emmanuel told the truth.
“Wow, that’s a refreshing way to brag.” Mackenzie
didn’t believe him.
She turned around and left.
Beatrix stuck out her tongue at Emmanuel and
followed suit. Emmanuel is done for!
“Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel chased after them. At that
moment, he couldn’t be bothered about the project or
Xylie. I’m doing all this to bring Mackenzie home! Yet,
she’s dumping me. Mom will be so disappointed! Also,
I’ll embarrass myself in front of Uncle Chester and
Uncle Benny tomorrow! The company’s project doesn’t
concern me anymore.
In order to lose Emmanuel, Mackenzie told her driver to
speed up and take shortcuts on the road. I have to get
home as quickly as possible and lock the door to
prevent that man from ever coming in!
“Please driver faster and catch up with the woman’s
car in front!” Emmanuel urged his taxi driver.
However, the driver turned around slightly and advised,
“You can’t force someone to love you back, my friend.
Why are you stalking the woman? If things go south,
you might end up in jail!”
“Stalk?” Emmanuel was livid. “That’s my wife! Cut your
nonsense! I’ll give you two hundred if you can catch
up.”
“Your wife? Sit tight, my friend!” The driver floored the
accelerator when he heard the money offered.
However, there was no way a taxi could catch up with
Mackenzie’s luxury car.
The distance between the two cars grew wider, and
her car was soon out of sight.
Right then, an MPV suddenly appeared from a dark
alley, forcing Mackenzie’s car to stop.
The screeching sound disrupted the peaceful night.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t you know how to drive?” Mackenzie’s driver
wanted to give the MPV’s driver an earful, but all of a
sudden, a few burly men were seen exiting the
Mercedes–Benz.
Mackenzie’s driver was terrified when he saw that the
men were armed and up to no good. He quietly went
back into the car.
“Mackenzie, what’s happening? It seems that these
men have been targeting us. Are they trying to rob
us?” Beatrix asked.
“Don’t worry. I’m here.” Mackenzie then ordered the
driver, “I’ll get out of the car in a while. Drive away and
find a safe spot to call the police!”
“No way, Mackenzie! What about you?” Beatrix wanted
to convince Mackenzie otherwise, but there was
already a commotion outside.
“Get out! Get out!” the leader of the men, who was
dressed in black, shouted and broke the car window
with a metal rod.
Clang!
Shards of glass flew everywhere, injuring the people in
the car.
