Chapter 722
Ever since Emmanuel realized someone was tailing him today, he had been
particularly worried about his wife’s safety.
Even if Lexi hadn’t invited him in, he would have come into the building on his
own.
Mackenzie, however, was oblivious to this. A faint smile was plastered across
her lips before it gave way to a deliberate aloofness. “You’re such a
worrywart. I’m in my own company, surrounded by security guards and
bodyguards. What kind of danger could there possibly be?”
He responded with a nonchalant smile, “I can only be at ease when I’m by
your side.”
“You’re such a smooth talker. Emmanuel, you’ve changed.” She feigned anger.
Whenever other men spoke sweet nothings to her, she would feel
uncomfortable. However, strangely, she didn’t feel that way with this man.
Emmanuel gave a wry smile. He wasn’t trying to be cheesy because he was
genuinely concerned for her safety.
He didn’t want to make things worse by explaining, so he simply kept quiet.
The two of them walked out of the building side by side.
There was a distance between the entrance of the building and the main
gate of the company. This time, Emmanuel was acutely aware of being
followed.
Nevertheless, he pretended not to know and silently escorted his wife to the
car. After locking the car door, his gaze suddenly turned cold as he swiftly
moved toward a corner.
Mackenzie was slightly taken aback, after which her gaze instantly turned icy
cold.
Someone’s tailing me again? D*mn it!
The person hiding in the shadows was startled and tried to escape, but
Emmanuel was fast as he grabbed the person’s shoulder.
“Show yourself!” He intended to subdue the person, but the latter was quicker
than he had expected. The person tried to slip away from him.
He had no choice but to use a grappling technique. The woman didn’t resist
this time and willingly dove into his arms. He had her locked in his arms.
Emmanuel finally asked.
Mackenzie’s gaze became colder. This shameless woman! Was she trying to
seduce her husband while I was away?
“No, it wasn’t me.” The red-dressed woman shook her head. “But I know who
they are.”
“Then spill their names. Don’t beat around the bush.” A threatening glint
flashed in his eyes. “Don’t forget that your brother’s life is in my hands!”
She pouted in grievance. “I came to find you for two important things. The first
is to ask you to save my brother.”
“Your brother?” He was slightly taken aback. “What happened to him?”
After all, he was his slave. If he died, it would be a loss.
“He failed his mission and they cut his Achilles tendon.” Her eyes sparked a
hint of resentment as she bit her lower lip.
