Chapter 690

Emmanuel still had a long way to go before he could truly become part of the

Quillen family. It seemed that before the man gained the acknowledgment of

all the Quillens, Mackenzie wouldn’t do the deed with him. Thus, Terence

reckoned that he had to tell the young man to be slightly more forward.

“When did you return, Mackenzie? Why didn’t you tell us?!”

The moment Mackenzie stepped into the living room, she immediately came

to the realization that her aunts and cousins were staying in the Quillen

residence to spend the New Year’s. When the old ladies saw Mackenzie, they

quickly surrounded her just like they were wont to do.

“Mackenzie, I heard that Emmanuel has been arrested. What happened?”

Samantha asked the question that everyone had been fretting over.

Mackenzie was well aware that many of her family members looked down on

Emmanuel, so she wasn’t willing to dwell on this topic. Thus, she simply

replied perfunctorily, “It’s nothing serious. He’s just cooperating with the

police’s investigation. He’ll be back soon.”

Hannah refuted, “Stop lying to Us,

know what’s going on. Emmanuel definitely had something to do with

Claudette’s death. The woman was Mr. Magnus‘ first love. I’m sure he and the

Lenoir family won’t let Emmanuel off.”

The other Quillen ladies became worried upon hearing that.

“Mackenzie, you’re not going to go against the Lenoir family and the Zelinsky

family for a man, are you?”

“I truly don’t know what you see in him, Mackenzie. Given how attractive you

are, you can surely find a man who is a hundred times better.”

“Mackenzie, everyone knows that you’re the most intelligent woman in

Yeringham. I’m sure you can deal with this issue easily.”

“You’d better sever any ties with him.”

-All of them kept jabbering on and on and on.

When Samantha noticed the tense line of Mackenzie’s shoulders and her

clenched fists, she hastily reprimanded these women, “All of you, shut it! Are

you doubting Mackenzie’s capabilities? She doesn’t need you to tell her what

to do!”

Although Mackenzie couldn’t say such a thing, Samantha could.

As the leader of the Quillen family, Mackenzie had to ensure the entire family

remained united under one goal. Therefore, she couldn’t say anything in

Emmanuel’s defense, lest she be accused of preferential treatment.

Only then did the Quillen women fall silent.

Mackenzie slowly unfurled her fists and said with a genial smile, “Thank you

for the advice. I’ll keep that in mind.”

With that, she turned around and left the Quillen residence. In her mind, she

couldn’t help but wonder just when she started finding the atmosphere

within the Quillen family repulsive.

In the past, she had hoped that Emmanuel would attain some achievements

so that her family members would accept him to be part of their family. Now,

she was trying to come up with a way that would make the man become a

bright star without changing who he actually was.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel was led to an interrogation room.

The light was dim, and the atmosphere was depressing. One would feel

distressed just by staying there.

Just then, the metal door opened with a click, after which Ashton entered the

room with a tablet and sat down across from Emmanuel.

The woman worked on the tablet and didn’t even spare Emmanuel a glance,

“I’ll start asking you questions about the cases involving Claudette Lenoir and

Hayden Hamilton. You have to answer my questions honestly,” she warned in

an icy voice.

Emmanuel reckoned that Hayden Hamilton was Black Bear’s real name.

“Your name.”

“Emmanuel Lowe,” he replied impassively.

“Why did you go to the Lenoir residence two days ago?”

“To save someone.”

“To save someone?” Ashton donned a sneer without even trying to conceal

her contempt upon hearing the man’s reply. “You said you went to the Lenoir

residence to save someone. Who was it?”

“Claudette Lenoir,” Emmanuel answered all of her questions seriously.

Nonetheless, Ashton only looked at the man with disdain while maintaining d

rather impressive sneer on her face.
