A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 

Instantly, rage quickened Emmanuel’s blood. I get it now. These guys not only 

want to kill me but Claudette too. If that’s the case, I can only treat them as 

enemies on a real battlefield. 

However, just as he was preparing to fight back, he heard a scream from 

Claudette. Oh, sh*t. Did Claudette get shot? He quickly looked down and felt a 

chill run down his spine. He was stunned to see there was a cobra deep in 

the woods, and it was biting her thigh. 

“What should we do now, Mr. Isaac?” Hearing her scream, Isaac’s 

subordinates couldn’t help but panic. 

They had released that cobra to deal with Emmanuel, but they didn’t expect 

it to harm Claudette instead. 

Although they didn’t know what was on Isaac’s mind, they knew they couldn’t 

bear the consequences if she died here. 

“What else? Quickly kill that man!” Isaac ordered without hesitation; he was 

determined to kill Emmanuel now and would then savor Claudette’s body 

before she died. 

This was what happened once an obsession took form. It would make people 

become terrifying individuals who would disregard everything. 

After he said that, he raised his gun and was about to rush toward Emmanuel 

to shoot. However, he didn’t expect that he had underestimated the man in 

front of him. 

Emmanuel possessed incredible strength and struck the cobra’s vital point in 

one punch. Pop! The cobra died on the spot. 

This scene startled Isaac and the others, causing them to forget what they 

were doing for a moment. 

At that time, Emmanuel couldn’t afford to bother with these sc*mbags, as 

saving Claudette’s life was the priority now. He threw the dead cobra toward 

-the group and immediately carried her, running toward the depths of the 

woods.

By the time the group regained their senses, the two had already 

disappeared. 

“F*ck! Go after them! Don’t let them leave alive!” Isaac realized that things 

had escalated. If Claudette managed to survive and reported it to the police, 

the Lenoir family’s power was not something the Lane family could contend 

with. By then, he would end up in jail for the rest of his life. 

Unfortunately, Emmanuel’s agility far surpassed their imagination. They 

pursued the two into the jungle, but there was no trace of them. 

“What the hell! Who is he, anyway?! How can he be so incredibly skilled?” All of 

the men working here were trained and had agility beyond what an average 

person would have. However, they had to admit they were not on the same 

level as Emmanuel. His skills were those of a retired Special Forces soldier, 

and he might even be the best among soldiers. 

“Split up and search for them! They must be dead! Understand?!” Isaac 

ordered again. 

However, his subordinates were just here for work. They would take risks to 

injure Emmanuel for money since Isaac would take the blame in case things 

had gone awry. Yet, they hesitated when it came to killing Claudette. They 

knew her background to some extent, so when they heard she was to be 

killed, they pretended to search for the two. Once the opportunity to escape 

presented itself, they would take it and run for their lives. 

Even Jonathan refused to participate. Why should I risk my life for this? That’s 

not my crush that Emmanuel stole, anyway. Isaac is the mastermind behind 

today’s events. I didn’t even fire a single shot, and Claudette getting bitten by
