A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718 

Everyone was stupefied. 

Eleanor was also taken aback, wondering if this woman had lost her mind. 

“Is this the only trick you know for handling cases?” Emmanuel showed no 

fear. Instead, a hint of disdain laced his face. “Also, this is called abusing 

power for personal revenge!” 

“You! You-” Ashton was so furious she almost pulled the trigger. 

Fortunately, her two subordinates approached to placate her. 

“Captain Summerton, calm down!” 

“There are many people watching, so be careful not to get suspended for 

misconduct!” 

Ashton knew that too, but she just couldn’t swallow her anger. 

“That’s enough, Ashton! You’re being unreasonable!” Juan scolded as he 

approached her. 

“Mr. Gomez, why are you here?” A trace of panic laced Ashton’s eyes while 

being scolded by the renowned physician of Yeringham. 

Juan Gomez not only saved her father’s life before but also treated her 

illness. In her heart, she had great respect for this renowned physician of 

Yeringham! 

Juan snorted coldly in response. “I’ve been with Emmanuel all day today, and 

I can vouch for his innocence. Moreover, if it weren’t for Dr. Lowe’s timely 

intervention, everyone here would have died by now! As the captain of the 

third division, instead of enforcing the law impartially upon arriving at the 

scene, you’re making things difficult for the hero. Is this how you should 

behave?” 

Hot-tempered Ashton had been scolded by Juan to the point where she 

didn’t dare to utter a word, resembling a little girl who committed a mistake. 

She slowly put away her gun but continued glaring at Emmanuel resentfully. 

Why did it seem like every time she was bullied by this man, someone would 

stand up to protect him? Did she owe him something in her past life? 

Her behavior rendered Emmanuel speechless. Before, he had only heard the 

phrase “well-developed limbs, simple mind” to describe certain types of men. 

Now, he realized what it meant to be busty but brainless… 

It was obvious she had replaced Deon as the captain of the third division 

through her physical skills and bravery. However, this would be as far as she 

would go with her intelligence. 

“Emmanuel, regardless of your grudges with Verkade, human life is 

paramount. Please save him too!” Juan pointed at Jonathan and pleaded 

with Emmanuel. 

As the director of Beacon Hospital, while his medical skills might not be on 

par with Emmanuel’s, his ethical standards were highly regarded. 

Ashton looked surprised again. “Mr. Gomez, do you really need to plead with 

him? Can’t you save him yourself?” 

With a sigh, Juan said, “I’m helpless against this type of poison. Emmanuel’s 

medical skills are ten times better than mine!” 

Gasp! Ashton gasped, her eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at 

Emmanuel. However, due to her preconceptions, even if Emmanuel’s medical 

skills were remarkable, she wouldn’t admire him. Instead, she would double 

her suspicions and believe that he was the poisoner and that his act of 

saving lives was just a ploy! 

“Em.. Emmanuel, please… save me…” Jonathan, who was curled up on the 

ground, also hurriedly begged Emmanuel for help. He was in excruciating 

pain! 

Emmanuel glanced at him, unable to hide his disgust. He really wouldn’t want 

to save Magnus’ lackey if Juan hadn’t pleaded for him. Moreover, he even 

suspected that this poisoning incident was related to Jonathan. 

Still, he ultimately spoke up, “I can save you, but how much are you willing to 

pay me for saving your life?” 

“I-” Jonathan was about to explode with anger. This b*stard saves others for 

free but demands money from me?! 

“Ten… Ten thousand! I’ll give you ten thousand… Is that enough?”
