Chapter 1203 No One Around
It seems this fool really cares about me.
Lies could be told, but subconscious actions couldn’t be feigned.
“I just found a better hiding spot.” Mackenzie pursed her lips and took the initiative to ask, “Are you
okay?”
At that, she nervously examined him from head to toe, afraid he might be injured.
“I’m fine. They’re just a bunch of small fries!” Emmanuel casually smiled. His wife was starting to show
concern for
him. A lot had changed from before.
“But the tunnel ahead is destroyed, and we can’t go back using this road,” Mackenzie said with
concern. This meant her grandfather’s bodyguards sent to pick her up wouldn’t be able to meet up with
them.
“We can only take the path by the river.” Emmanuel thought for a moment and said, “But they might
ambush there
too.”
“How about notifying Captain Payne now?” Mackenzie suggested.
Being a powerful woman in the business world, she was also well-versed in military strategy and
various tactical books. Now that the mountain tunnel was destroyed, and the attackers were not many,

it was obvious that it was a feigned attack. Their goal was to divert them onto another route, where
there was a high likelihood of a genuine
ambush.
“Notifying Sage now can indeed engage in a bloodbath with the Holy Fire organization, ensuring our
safety home, but…” Emmanuel left his words hanging, clearly hesitating.
“You don’t want to do that,” Mackenzie, intelligent and witty, immediately responded. “Do you have a
deeper
purpose?”
Emmanuel nodded. He believed the matter had to be resolved. Magnus was certainly behind the
events of the past two days. Even if Magnus wasn’t the mastermind, Emmanuel wanted to take down
the mastermind behind this incident, seeking revenge for his cousin and the deceased members of the
Terence Group.
Moreover, this would also deter others who wanted to seize the Heart of the Sun, making them think
twice before laying hands on the Quillen family. Otherwise, the Quillen family would have to constantly
hide under police protection in the future.
“Alright, we’ll take the estuary road.”
“Mackenzie, you-” Emmanuel suddenly became nervous and quickly tried to dissuade her, “I’ll go
alone. It’s too dangerous. You don’t need to take risks with me!”
“Aren’t we a married couple?” With just one sentence, Mackenzie silenced Emmanuel, starting him.
“Besides, since the other party’s meticulously planned scheme, you won’t be able to lure out the
mastermind without me and the
Heart of the Sun.”

“But…” Emmanuel still didn’t want Mackenzie to take the risk with him.
“What? You just said that no matter what, you’ll protect me, Was that just a casual remark that can’t
withstand a test?” Mackenzie deliberately provoked him, “You protected Ashton for two days. Are you
so annoyed about protecting your wife? Do men always prefer women outside?”
“Nonsense!” Emmanuel retorted immediately, worked up. “My relationship with Ashton is just business,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut protecting you is a lifelong commitment!”
Bang!
Mackenzie thought a shot had been fired at her temple, and she seemed to be growing fonder of being
with this fool.
The affectionate statement brought brief silence. Emmanuel’s face also blushed slightly. Since when
did he start saying such cheesy things? Was it because Rhea had taught him well?
“Let’s go then!” Mackenzie said and turned around directly.
Emmanuel quickly followed.
Although the Bentley’s rear was wholly deformed from the impact, given the decent quality of this
luxury car, it could still run if the engine was intact.
They turned the car around and headed back onto the national highway.
Before entering the estuary road, Mackenzie had already called her grandfather and explained the
situation. Emmanuel also called Sage to ask him to send someone to deal with the situation on the
mountain road.
After that, the car left the national highway and entered the estuary road.
Both of them were mentally prepared. They thought there would be a loud commotion like the mountain
explosion just now, but unexpectedly, the journey was silent, to the point of being eerie.
Although the traffic on the estuary road would be scarce after 7 p.m., that night, besides their car, there
was no one
