Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Mackenzie wasn’t interested to listen to his explanation. She delivered a tight slap across his face, then turned to leave. Beatrix was stunned. Indeed, those who aren’t involved will always be more clear-minded. Mackenzie is pissed off at him and has lost her composure! 1 “Hear me out, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel grabbed Mackenzie’s wrist. Despite getting slapped across the face, he was determined to clear things up. Xylie panicked and sat on the bed silently. This girl is so beautiful. What’s her relationship with Emmanuel? They look like a couple, but why did he address her as Ms. Quillen? “Hmph! You have thirty seconds to explain yourself. Let’s see what excuses you can come up with.” Mackenzie couldn’t shake him off. This man is so strong and brazen! Not a single man has dared to grab my hand in the twenty-seven years of my life. FIT “That’s right! Hurry up and make up a story-I mean, explain yourself. Who knows? If it sounds convincing, we might believe you!” Beatrix was eager to stir the pot. Although she said she might believe him, she didn’t mean it. “I came to the bar because I was figuring out ways to fix the logo for the company. This just happened by accident!” Emmanuel told the truth. “Wow, that’s a refreshing way to brag.” Mackenzie didn’t believe him. She turned around and left. Beatrix stuck out her tongue at Emmanuel and followed suit. Emmanuel is done for! “Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel chased after them. At that moment, he couldn’t be bothered about the project or Xylie. I’m doing all this to bring Mackenzie home! Yet, she’s dumping me. Mom will be so disappointed! Also, I’ll embarrass myself in front of Uncle Chester and Uncle Benny tomorrow! The company’s project doesn’t concern me anymore. In order to lose Emmanuel, Mackenzie told her driver to speed up and take shortcuts on the road. I have to get home as quickly as possible and lock the door to prevent that man from ever coming in! 3/5 “Please driver faster and catch up with the woman’s car in front!” Emmanuel urged his taxi driver. However, the driver turned around slightly and advised, “You can’t force someone to love you back, my friend. Why are you stalking the woman? If things go south, you might end up in jail!” “Stalk?” Emmanuel was livid. “That’s my wife! Cut your nonsense! I’ll give you two hundred if you can catch up.” “Your wife? Sit tight, my friend!” The driver floored the accelerator when he heard the money offered. However, there was no way a taxi could catch up with Mackenzie’s luxury car. The distance between the two cars grew wider, and her car was soon out of sight. Right then, an MPV suddenly appeared from a dark alley, forcing Mackenzie’s car to stop. The screeching sound disrupted the peaceful night. “Don’t you know how to drive?” Mackenzie’s driver wanted to give the MPV’s driver an earful, but all of a sudden, a few burly men were seen exiting the Mercedes-Benz. Mackenzie’s driver was terrified when he saw that the men were armed and up to no good. He quietly went back into the car. “Mackenzie, what’s happening? It seems that these men have been targeting us. Are they trying to rob us?” Beatrix asked. “Don’t worry. I’m here.” Mackenzie then ordered the driver, “I’ll get out of the car in a while. Drive away and find a safe spot to call the police!” “No way, Mackenzie! What about you?” Beatrix wanted to convince Mackenzie otherwise, but there was already a commotion outside. “Get out! Get out!” the leader of the men, who was dressed in black, shouted and broke the car window with a metal rod. Clang!
