Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 120

‘Am | scared of losing?‘ thought Emmanuel.

While Emmanuel wouldn't easily succumb to provocation, he subconsciously disliked losing to Malcolm.

With a smile, he said, “Okay, two o'clock in the afternoon then. I'll be there on time.”

When Emmanuel arrived at the badminton court in the afternoon, Malcolm was already there. Observing

Emmanuel wearing the smoky grey coat again, Malcolm’s expression turned gloomy with a hint of chillness.

As if attempting to provoke Malcolm further, Emmanuel took off the coat, carefully folded it, and placed it on the

long bench. While doing so, he remarked, “Strange to say, ever since Tabitha helpedwith this coat last. time,

it felt so warm that I'm reluctant to wear anything else.”

Malcolm rolled his eyes and turned to look at Emmanuel slowly.

At that moment, his eyes were as cold as knives.

Emmanuel subconsciously shut his mouth.

After getting ready, Emmanuel chuckled and said, “I haven't played badminton for a long time. Please show me

smercy later.”

Malcolm also removed his coat, lowered his eyes, and gradually rolled up his sleeves, exposing his muscular and

powerful forearms, exuding an inviolable and majestic aura.

Upon hearing Emmanuel’s words, Malcolm raised his blue eyes to look at Emmanuel and smiled faintly. “You had

better do your best.”

The race began soon.

Malcolm also invited several other business partners to join them, forming a four-man double.

Emmanuel was the first to serve the shuttlecock, and Malcolm caught it effortlessly.

Malcolm was skilled at the game. His swing was steady and powerful, sending the shuttlecock through the air

right past Emmanuel, brushing against the latter's face.

Despite the shuttlecock’s lightweight, it stung Emmanuel’s face.

Emmanuel’s expression darkened.

Malcolm raised his chin slightly, and his blue eyes resembled a calm sea, exuding an inviolably noble aura.

He gazed at Emmanuel and said, “Emmanuel, | told you to go all out.”

“Today, | will let you know that no matter how hard you try, you can’t defeat me!‘ thought Malcolm.

Malcolm's stamina proved formidable, his swings becoming faster and more powerful, gradually overwhelming

Emmanuel.

The two other business partners, who had now becbackground figures, began to realize that Malcolm was

intentionally targeting Emmanuel.

They decided to stand far away, observing as the heir of the Sinclair family harshly taught Emmanuel a lesson.

Thanks to his years of training, Malcolm remained more physically fit than Emmanuel despite having just

recovered from an injury.

Emmanuel was sweating profusely after the game, while Malcolm seemed unfazed, and his eyes held a cold and

contemptuous gaze.

The business partners who had enjoyed the scene immediately surrounded Malcolm, flattering him.

A faint coldness emanated from Emmanuel’s eyes. Clenching his fist, he tried to suppress his anger and sincerely

praised, “You are truly amazing,

Malcolm's smile carried a hint of coldness, but his voice remained flat. “It’s good that you admit defeat.”

‘Now that you have admitted defeat, get out of Tabitha’s sight, Malcolm added silently.

After the game, the cousins prepared to change their clothes before leaving, only to discover that their coats

were missing.

The person in charge of the court, Fred, was frightened out of his wits upon hearing that the clothes of the two

distinguished guests had disappeared.

It was known that these wealthy young men would wear highly customized coats, and they were exorbitantly

expensive.

If the coats were indeed lost, he wouldn't have the means to compensate

for them.

Fred mobilized all the staff to look for them and quickly found the two coats in the trash.

Unfortunately, the coats had been cut to pieces and had turned into a pile of junk.

Fred's face turned pale instantly.

Emmanuel looked down at the pile of broken coats in the trash, and his gaze turned completely cold while his

body exuded an aura of creepy coldness.

Malcolm observed Emmanuel’s gloomy expression and unexpectedly found himself in a good mood.

He normally wouldn't do such a childish thing, but at that moment, he felt a genuine sense of satisfaction!

Fred wiped his cold sweat and reiterated that he could promptly check the

Malcolm suddenly remarked, “There's no need to make a fuss out of it. It's just two coats anyway.”

He then looked at Emmanuel and said, “Emmanuel, you wouldn't be so cruel as to demand the court to pay for a

coat, would you?”

Emmanuel instantly understood what was going on at that point.

Malcolm had invited him to play badminton partly as a warning against wishful thinking and partly to cut up his

coat.

Emmanuel released his clenched fist instantly and said with a relaxed expression, “You are right, Malcolm. It’s

just a coat. Let's not make a fuss.”

Fred heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that the two scions before him wouldn't press on the matter and

thanked them repeatedly.

Although Emmanuel did not check the surveillance footage, Alaric found out about it.

Given the status of the Sinclair family in Xosa, it was highly unlikely that anyone would dare to steal their family

member's clothes, deliberately cut them into pieces, and dispose of them in a manner that could be easily.

It was a clear provocation!

Alaric immediately sent someone to get the surveillance footage. After sinvestigation, he found that it was

Malcolm who did it.

He rushed to the hospital in a fit of anger, trying to get an explanation. from Malcolm..

When he arrived at the ward, he heard the doctor talking to Malcolm.

“You have been recuperating in the hospital for nearly two months. If you want to be discharged, | can issue a

certificate for you, Mr. Sinclair,” informed the doctor.

Contrary to expectations, Malcolm didn’t seem as happy as anticipated. Instead, he expressed unhappiness,

saying, “It takes tfor any injuries to heal. I'm injured so badly, so | need to be hospitalized for at least

another month.”

The doctor was speechless.
