Chapter 481

Chapter 481 After all, Felicity was from the esteemed Lenoir family, and it seemed inconceivable that she had no authority within her own household. She refused to accept the reality. Just then, a gentle knock came from the door, signaling Lexi’s arrival. With Mackenzie’s permission, she entered and reported, “Ms. Mackenzie, Mr. Bryant is highly confident, with over 90% certainty, that Emmanuel will be acquitted!” “Fantastic!” Mackenzie nodded, her eyes brimming with trust. “I’ll entrust this matter to you, then.” At that, Terence added sternly, “Lexi, being 90% confident is not enough! He must secure Emmanuel’s acquittal without fail. Should any complications arise, notify me immediately. There’s no need to fear General Lenoir as long as I’m here!” “Understood, Old Mr. Quillen!” Lexi swiftly nodded in utmost respect. She was well aware of Terence’s connections and influence. With his support, even Adolph would be rendered powerless against Emmanuel’s case. “Old Mr. Quillen and Mackenzie, sooner or later, all of you will come to regret protecting him!” Overwhelmed by anger, Felicity had no choice but to storm out of the room. Silently, Sarah followed in her footsteps. Meanwhile, at the Lenoir Residence, Adolph gazed upon his second son’s lifeless body, his expression darkening like an impending storm. Quintus couldn’t help but shiver with fear as he beheld his father’s expression. On the other hand, Elizabeth couldn’t believe that Emmanuel was responsible for her brother’s death and wanted to speak up for him. However, in the face of her father’s expression, she found herself unable to voice her thoughts. “General, the Quillen family has enlisted Mr. Bryant as Emmanuel’s defense attorney. It seems unlikely that we will achieve justice for Tobias through legal means.” Laura finally broke the oppressive silence. “Hmph! The Quillen family’s audacity knows no bounds!” Adolph’s words reverberated with anger as he slammed his palm down on the table. In an instant, the table snapped in half with a loud noise. “When I retired from Tocvale and returned to Yeringham thirty years ago, I was invincible! No one dared to challenge the Lenoir family! And now, that young lady from the Quillens has stolen away my precious daughter’s man and caused her so much suffering. They’ve even ruthlessly taken my son’s life! If I don’t eliminate Mackenzie and Emmanuel, how will the people of Yeringham perceive me? How can I uphold my pride and dignity in this city?” These words struck fear into Elizabeth’s heart. The very situation she had desperately hoped to avoid was now coming to pass.  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Deep down, she knew that Claudette truly loved Emmanuel and that he was innocent of any wrongdoing regarding her death. However, with her father and stepmother resolute in their beliefs, she felt utterly powerless to sway their convictions. How can I save Emmanuel? Should I find an opportunity to convince him to leave Yeringham? Elizabeth contemplated silently within herself. “Haha! Dad, it’s unfair to solely blame Mackenzie for everything!” Elizabeth couldn’t speak up for Emmanuel, but Quintus finally summoned the courage to defend Mackenzie. However, his words were met with a swift and forceful slap from Adolph. “Shut up! Now that the Lenoir and Quillen families are at odds, don’t take the wrong side just because of a woman! Your younger brother was beaten to death by Emmanuel, and now I command you to seek revenge by ending his life!” Adolph sternly ordered Quintus. Frustration and inner turmoil consumed Quintus as he grappled with his emotions. He wanted to confront Emmanuel and challenge him, but the thought of taking his life had never crossed his mind.
