Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1199 Thanks for Saving My Wife

The leader was still at large, so their actions might be far from over yet.

“Any casualty among our employees?” Mackenzie immediately asked, her expression a bit nervous.

Emmanuel was also a bit anxious. Ryder and Sheldon were both security personnel at the Terence

Group. He didn’t know if they were injured. Especially Ryder, a through and through honest guy, always

the most proactive in such situations; this time, he was likely at the forefront.

“We lost seven men, and 23 were injured, totaling 30 casualties!” Wally reported, and Mackenzie’s

heart skipped a

beat. She was very worried that Ryder might be one of the seven.

Seeing her abnormal expression, Emmanuel became extremely anxious.

“Well… How is Ryder now?” Mackenzie asked cautiously.

“His condition is quite serious, Ms. Quillen. The doctor says he may end up disabled, and he may not

be able to

continue working in the future!”

As Wally spoke, Mackenzie’s expression became extremely complex. She first sighed with relief, then

took another

deep breath. Being alive was a good thing, but the aftermath was too severe.

Emmanuel, on the other hand, nervously grasped Wally’s shoulder and anxiously asked, “What

happened? How did Ryder end up like that?”

Before Wally could answer, Mackenzie said, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let him come up with me

to get the

Heart of the Sun. He took a bullet for me!”

Emmanuel was instantly stunned.

He knew Ryder even better than Mackenzie did. His cousin was the typical benevolent and zealous

kind of guy. Moreover, Mackenzie treated him and Tommy very well. So, it was entirely normal that he

would take a bullet for

her.

*D*mn it!” Emmanuel clenched his fist, flames burning ablaze beneath his eyes. Even Wally felt

intimidated.

Mackenzie apologized again, “Emmanuel, I’m sorry! It’s because of my stubbornness that-”

“No, it’s not your fault.” Emmanuel quickly turned to support Mackenzie’s shoulder, asking with gritted

teeth, “Who are those thugs? Do you know who sent them?”

He was determined to avenge his cousin. Tommy already had only a single parent, and now, with

Ryder becoming disabled, what would happen to his family in the future?! It was simply unforgivable!

Ashton, who was still hiding at the restaurant’s entrance, felt a bit scared seeing Emmanuel in this

state. At the same time, she felt self-blame and anger. If she hadn’t taken Emmanuel away, if

Emmanuel had been by Mackenzie’s side, perhaps such misery wouldn’t happen, right?

“It’s the Holy Fire organization, and the one leading is a woman in white!”

“The Saintess?!” Hearing Mackenzie’s words, Emmanuel immediately guessed the identity of the

person in charge.

After a while, Emmanuel said to Mackenzie, “Mackenzie, let Wally and the others go back. I’ll take you

home!”

He knew that if the Holy Fire organization had started its actions, they wouldn’t stop halfway. Wally and

the others were not combat personnel. They could handle ordinary people, but facing the ruthless

thugs of the Holy Fire organization would only lead to unnecessary casualties. After all, they were just

wage earners, not even the dedicated bodyguards of the Quillen residence. They were unarmed, and

their reliability in a life-and-death situation was questionable. Moreover, having such a large group

following them could make them an easy target.

After a moment of contemplation, Mackenzie nodded and had Wally and the others leave.

“Ms. Quillen, please be careful!”

Wally and the others left, leaving Emmanuel and Mackenzie with a Bentley.

Emmanuel drove, taking Mackenzie away from the restaurant.

“Emmanuel, what’s your plan now?”

“Wait a moment, let me call Captain Payne!”

Emmanuel charged his phone using the car’s charging system and dialed Sage’s number while driving.

Mackenzie was also concerned about Sage’s current situation and said to Emmanuel, “Today, besides

your cousin Ryder, Captain Payne also saved my life!”

“Alright, I really need to thank him!” Emmanuel sincerely expressed, with a lingering fear. If Sage hadn’t

been there, he might have lost his hard-earned wife.

Mackenzie lightly snorted, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. Emmanuel’s words made it seem

like she belonged to him.

“Hey, Captain Payne, it’s Emmanuel!” As soon as the call connected, Emmanuel quickly spoke, “I’m

now with my wife, and she told me you saved her life today. Thank you so much!”
