Chapter 699

Chapter 699 Ashton had been eavesdropping at the door. Even though the small room was soundproof, she could still hear Sage’s laughs coming from the room time and again. Who exactly is Emmanuel? She had been with Sage for three years but never heard him laugh this many times! Creak… When she heard noises coming from the metal door, she hastily ran away in case she got found out. “Ashton, I’ve recorded Emmanuel’s confession. Send him home for me.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “What? I have to send him home?” She could not believe what she was hearing. Sage not only wanted to let Emmanuel off the hook, but he also wanted her to send him home! “Why? Is there a problem? Weren’t you the one who brought him here in the first place?” Sage frowned. She immediately saluted. “Yes, sir!” Her respect for Sage for the past three years was already second nature, not to mention now when she worked under him. “Goodbye, then.” Sage waved at Emmanuel. Before leaving earlier, Emmanuel told Sage he should not refer to him as ‘Mr. Lowe‘ when others were around. Although Emmanuel did not tell him about the mission he shouldered, they had gone through hell together, so when he requested that, Sage immediately understood. After making the necessary drrangements, Sage hastily went to the reception room. He received a report from his subordinate that the young lady of the Quillen family had arrived at the police station to see him. After he retired from the military in the Northern Region, Sage was immediately assigned the position of grade two inspector because of his amazing experience. In just 6 months, he solved many huge cases, hence being promoted to grade one inspector. He was initially stationed in another city and was once again nominated to the position of General. However, when he heard that Casper died in Yeringham, he took the initiative to apply for a transfer here. That was how he retained his original grade. After working in many cities, he also learned some lessons about being an officer. He had to abide by the law, but at the same time, he had to be compassionate as well. Otherwise, no matter how capable he was, he would gradually come to a dead end. When he first came here, he already knew that the Quillens were the greatest family in Yeringham, so he was surprised to learn that the young lady of that family would personally visit him so soon. t When he arrived at the reception room and saw the charming women there, he was slightly stunned. As a grade one inspector, he was considered one of the higher–ups, so for the past three years, he had been to several gatherings of the upper classes. Hence, he had met many so–called super–wealthy young ladies. However, even those famous young ladies were no match for Ms. Quillen, who was right in front of him. Her beauty was overwhelming, and the single Sage was immediately drawn to her. “Hello, Captain Payne.” Lexi immediately stood up and introduced to him, “This is the CEO of Terence Group, Ms. Mackenzie Quillen.” Mackenzie also stood up politely as she gave him a slight nod, doing everything for Emmanuel! Otherwise, she would never take the initiative like this. “Hello, Ms. Quillen. I’m Sage Payne.” He smiled as he walked over to her, then reached out a hand. “What brings you here, Ms. Quillen?” That was his first time asking a woman for a handshake of his own accord. He had been single for the past 30 years, but at that moment, he could hear every single heartbeat of his. Oh no! Am I having a crush? Did I fall for Ms. Quillen at first sight? “Captain Payne, I’m here to ask about the progress made on the murder case of the Lenoirs.” Mackenzie lightly shook his hand as she directly explained her reason for the visit. After marrying Emmanuel, her misandry seemed to be cured without her noticing it. “Oh, I see. I’ll deal with the case righteously and find the real culprit who murdered Ms. Lenoir, so rest assured, Ms. Quillen.” With that, Sage asked subconsciously, “Are you a good friend of Ms. Lenoir’s, Ms. Quillen?” He knew about Claudette’s identity, so he thought that the young ladies from the two great families were best friends, and that was why Mackenzie had hurried over to ask about the case and even tried to pressure him into convicting Emmanuel. Even so, he would never do that. “Something like that.” Mackenzie smiled lightly. Search the FindNovel.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
