A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 700

Chapter 700 

Mackenzie was intelligent and understood what Sage implied, how 

Emmanuel was not the one who murdered Claudette. She breathed a sigh of 

relief in her heart but continued asking, “So, Emmanuel can go home 

anytime?” 

“Of course. He and Eve were just defending themselves,” Sage affirmed right 

away. 

At the side, Lexi secretly sighed in relief. She had no idea this young new 

captain would have such a clear judgment. Similarly, Mackenzie relaxed as 

well, but her expression remained the same. She even sneaked a glance at 

his hand. 

“Oh, sorry! Pardon me.” Sage’s face was suddenly tinted red. 

Damn it! He had been alive for 30 years, but he had never committed a 

mistake as silly as this. He forgot to let go after shaking the woman’s hand! 

“Goodbye, then.” Mackenzie remained expressionless. 

“Allow me to see you off, Ms. Quillen.” Sage wanted to be as gentlemanly as 

possible. 

She did not decline the offer. After all, she still had to maintain this 

relationship so that he could help her out if there ever was a need to. 

In the meantime, Ashton put on a displeased look after receiving the order 

and walked past Emmanuel. “Come with me.” 

He refused to play along with her as he said straightforwardly, “Miss Ashton, if 

you don’t wish to send me back, I can return by myself.” 

After all, no one wanted to be with an upset woman, right? 

She, however, turned around coldly and glared at him. “You’d better behave 

and don’t play any tricks.” This is a trap! He’s probably being arrogant 

because he’s friendly with Mr. Payne! If I don’t fulfill my task, the b*stard will 

tattle on me to Mr. Payne! 

Emmanuel was exasperated. “Miss Ashton, you seriously don’t have to. I can 

just go back on my own.” With that, he walked away immediately. 

“Damn it. I’m casting pearls before swine!” Ashton deemed his actions as 

deliberate. She already had the urge to beat him up before this, so now, she 

stopped playing nice as she grabbed his collar. 

Not expecting the woman to attack him, Emmanuel was caught off guard 

and hastily took advantage of the situation to struggle free, tearing his shirt in 

the process. 

Clack. 

Two of his buttons fell onto the floor, and so did his face. He had attended a 

wedding banquet during the day and wore a suit for the occasion. It was the 

suit Mackenzie gave him when he attended the concert last time! This is my 

most treasured suit! And this woman has ruined it! 

Ashton also sensed the changes in his expression. Instead of getting scared, 

she was happy. “Serves you right! It’s just a torn cloth, but you’re so mad 

about it. Are you poor? Or are you just narrow–minded?” 

“Apologize!” Emmanuel did not bother to argue with her. This woman had torn
