Chapter 487
With his resolute sense of justice, even his words sounded convincing.
The people around him couldn’t help the hitching of their breaths as they
exchanged discreet glances.
They never expected that the person who killed Adolph’s second son could
remain so calm and composed in the face of Adolph’s oppressive presence!
Truth was, Adolph had come to respect the young man before him.
This was the first time he had truly interacted with Emmanuel; previously, he
thought Emmanuel was a cowardly and timid pretty boy who only hid behind
Mackenzie and groveled at her feet. However, Emmanuel had come alone
today and had displayed such courage. He had truly changed Adolph’s
opinion of him.
“Haha!” Adolph suddenly burst out laughing before he lowered his head and
fixed his gaze on Emmanuel like a hawk. “Those are just your one–sided
words. What evidence do you have?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Emmanuel was telling the truth, there was indeed no reason for the Lenoir
family to target him and the Quillens. But what if it was all a lie?
As the head of the Lenoir family, Adolph had no reason to let this person in
front of him who killed his son and daughter go.
“For the matter concerning Claudette, you can get Magnus to confront me.
As for Tobias, you can ask Mr. John about what happened. He knows the
truth!” Emmanuel firmly insisted.
Even Adolph wouldn’t be able to bring Magnus to the Lenoir family if the latter
didn’t want to come.
He turned his gaze to Felix, who quickly lowered his head.
“I swear I don’t know what Mr. Lenoir did to Ms. Quillen, but I can confirm that
Emmanuel Lowe was the one who killed Mr. Lenoir!”
He wasn’t biased toward Tobias; he was just stating the facts.
Elizabeth was extremely worried. She knew that her father would definitely
not let Emmanuel off the hook after Felix said that.
On the contrary, Emmanuel remained calm as he had expected Felix to say
that.
“Emmanuel Lowe, I’ll ask you again–do you have any evidence to support
your claim that Tobias wanted to force himself on Mackenzie?” Adolph
threateningly asked with a grim expression.
“The evidence is in the police station. Didn’t they already define the case?”
Emmanuel immediately answered without feeling intimidated.
“Unfortunately for you, I don’t believe it!” Adolph snorted coldly. “That’s just
your and Mackenzie’s colluded testimony and the result of that old man
Terence’s manipulation from behind the scenes!”
“In that case, I have nothing more to say.”
Emmanuel was determined to clarify the facts, but he couldn’t do anything if
Adolph remained biased and unyielding.
“Haha! Emmanuel, did you come here prepared to meet your death?” Adolph
suddenly laughed. “But even if I were to kill you like this, you wouldn’t accept it,
and I wouldn’t gain the support of others. How about we do this? Felix!”
Felix was slightly taken aback upon hearing Adolph calling him, but he still
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrespectfully bowed and responded, “Yes, General Lenoir.”
“Didn’t Tobias‘ mother entrust you with the task of taking good care of
Tobias?” Adolph asked.
“Yes, sir!” Felix affirmed while he inwardly sighed.
“In that case, regardless of the truth, Tobias‘ killer is right in front of us. We
cannot legally punish him, and it would be difficult for me to kill him without a
justifiable reason. I want you, my loyal servant, to avenge Tobias!”
As a military leader, Adolph couldn’t afford to be criticized or have his actions
questioned. Thus, he sought a legitimate pretext to kill Emmanuel.
“I understand!” Felix sighed and stepped forward. He didn’t want to go all out
with Emmanuel, but he had no other choice.
Adolph turned to Emmanuel and announced, “Emmanuel, I don’t care if what
you say is true or false. I won’t continue looking into Tobias‘ death as long as
you can defeat Felix. However, if you lose and end up dead, you should know
that you only have yourself to blame!”
