Chapter 718

Everyone was stupefied.

Eleanor was also taken aback, wondering if this woman had lost her mind.

“Is this the only trick you know for handling cases?” Emmanuel showed no

fear. Instead, a hint of disdain laced his face. “Also, this is called abusing

power for personal revenge!”

“You! You-” Ashton was so furious she almost pulled the trigger.

Fortunately, her two subordinates approached to placate her.

“Captain Summerton, calm down!”

“There are many people watching, so be careful not to get suspended for

misconduct!”

Ashton knew that too, but she just couldn’t swallow her anger.

“That’s enough, Ashton! You’re being unreasonable!” Juan scolded as he

approached her.

“Mr. Gomez, why are you here?” A trace of panic laced Ashton’s eyes while

being scolded by the renowned physician of Yeringham.

Juan Gomez not only saved her father’s life before but also treated her

illness. In her heart, she had great respect for this renowned physician of

Yeringham!

Juan snorted coldly in response. “I’ve been with Emmanuel all day today, and

I can vouch for his innocence. Moreover, if it weren’t for Dr. Lowe’s timely

intervention, everyone here would have died by now! As the captain of the

third division, instead of enforcing the law impartially upon arriving at the

scene, you’re making things difficult for the hero. Is this how you should

behave?”

Hot-tempered Ashton had been scolded by Juan to the point where she

didn’t dare to utter a word, resembling a little girl who committed a mistake.

She slowly put away her gun but continued glaring at Emmanuel resentfully.

Why did it seem like every time she was bullied by this man, someone would

stand up to protect him? Did she owe him something in her past life?

Her behavior rendered Emmanuel speechless. Before, he had only heard the

phrase “well-developed limbs, simple mind” to describe certain types of men.

Now, he realized what it meant to be busty but brainless…

It was obvious she had replaced Deon as the captain of the third division

through her physical skills and bravery. However, this would be as far as she

would go with her intelligence.

“Emmanuel, regardless of your grudges with Verkade, human life is

paramount. Please save him too!” Juan pointed at Jonathan and pleaded

with Emmanuel.

As the director of Beacon Hospital, while his medical skills might not be on

par with Emmanuel’s, his ethical standards were highly regarded.

Ashton looked surprised again. “Mr. Gomez, do you really need to plead with

him? Can’t you save him yourself?”

With a sigh, Juan said, “I’m helpless against this type of poison. Emmanuel’s

medical skills are ten times better than mine!”

Gasp! Ashton gasped, her eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at

Emmanuel. However, due to her preconceptions, even if Emmanuel’s medical

skills were remarkable, she wouldn’t admire him. Instead, she would double

her suspicions and believe that he was the poisoner and that his act of

saving lives was just a ploy!

“Em.. Emmanuel, please… save me…” Jonathan, who was curled up on the

ground, also hurriedly begged Emmanuel for help. He was in excruciating

pain!

Emmanuel glanced at him, unable to hide his disgust. He really wouldn’t want

to save Magnus’ lackey if Juan hadn’t pleaded for him. Moreover, he even

suspected that this poisoning incident was related to Jonathan.

Still, he ultimately spoke up, “I can save you, but how much are you willing to

pay me for saving your life?”

“I-” Jonathan was about to explode with anger. This b*stard saves others for

free but demands money from me?!

“Ten… Ten thousand! I’ll give you ten thousand… Is that enough?”

With his life in someone else’s hands, Jonathan had no choice but to submit.

“Ten thousand?” Emmanuel responded as though he had heard the joke of

the century, then looked at the poisoned scion with disdain. “Hadn’t you

acted all high and mighty in front of the VIP Suite 888? Is your life only worth

ten thousand?”

He deliberately said this to make Marianne give up her plan to continue

pushing her daughter to this guy.

If he’s only willing to spend ten thousand on his own life, how much can you

expect him to spend on your daughter?!

As expected, Marianne became very disappointed in Jonathan.

Jonathan didn’t know Emmanuel’s intention and thought Emmanuel was

intentionally mocking him. He cursed Emmanuel in his heart, wishing him

impotence but a thousand descendants.

But no matter how angry he was, he had to humble himself. “I-In that case…

Dr. Lowe, how much… would you be willing to help me for?”

Emmanuel immediately raised a finger. “Ten million. Feel free to consider at

your convenience whether you want me to save you or not.”

After all, it was Jonathan’s life at stake, so Emmanuel was not in a hurry at all.
