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!

"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.

"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!

"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! 

Shards of glass flew everywhere, injuring the people in the car.
