A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762 

“What are you laughing at, you jerk?” 

Ashton had become extremely sensitive to Emmanuel’s laughter. Whenever 

she saw him smiling, she immediately felt like he was mocking her. 

“Miss Ashton, are you being a bit too overbearing?” 

Emmanuel chuckled. “Is it illegal to laugh secretly?” 

“You-” 

Ashton’s hatred for Emmanuel had reached the point where she yearned to 

snap as soon as he uttered a word. 

However, a mere glance from Sage made her obediently put her hands 

down. 

How frustrating it is to be unable to get back at someone I despised! 

Emmanuel was determined not to stoop to her level and earnestly said, “Miss 

Ashton, out of respect for Captain Payne, I will now share crucial information 

regarding the three cases. Please listen attentively.” 

As she caught his gaze, Ashton struggled to restrain her anger. 

How does this jerk suddenly assume such an air of undeniable authority? 

“Firstly, Magnus Zelinsky pushed Claudette Lenoir off the cliff. The person you 

should be investigating is Magnus Zelinsky, not me. If not, you’ll never crack 

the case. Secondly, the poisoning incident at the restaurant was aimed at 

1. It was a bizarre and deadly combo. The poison was introduced into plain 

water, with the source traced back to Jonathan Verkade. As for how to 

proceed with the investigation, that’s up to you! Thirdly, today’s Ferris wheel 

incident was no accident. Hubert Verkade even took shots at me. It was a 

premeditated murder. Of course, whether you can nail such a big shot like 

Hubert Verkade, that’s up to your capabilities!” 

After Emmanuel finished speaking, he gestured to Sage as he was about to leave the amusement park. 

“That infuriating guy, who does he think he is? Sooner or later, I’ll bring him to 

justice!” Ashton muttered angrily, but Sage overheard her. 

Sensing Sage’s frigid gaze, Ashton felt a shiver run down her spine as if she 

had fallen into an ice cellar! 

Why does Captain Payne stand up for that guy Emmanuel so much? 

“Ashton, listen up. These three cases are now entirely under your 

responsibility. If you can’t solve them within three months, you’ll hand over 

your badge and gun! Got it?” 

“Ah, Captain-” 

Ashton was secretly shocked. However, when she met Sage’s resolute gaze, 

she could only bite her lip lightly and salute, “Yes, I pledge to complete the 

mission!” 

Then, Sage also departed. 

Left alone, Ashton let out a long sigh. 

Before she could relax, her private phone rang again. 

“Hello, Dad!” 

Ashton answered the call, and her tone differed slightly from her usual 

tough-girl image as she showed her girlish side. 

“Ash, is your work progressing smoothly? You promised me you’d get 

promoted to Inspector Grade 2 this year!” 

“Dad, I’ll definitely succeed!” 

Laughter echoed through the line. “I’m not hoping for your success. I just want 

to let you know that your brother has decided to lay low. He insists on having 

you come back and inherit the Summerton family business. Remember what 

you said: if you can’t get promoted this year, then you’ll obediently return 

home and take over the family business!” 

“No! I don’t want to!” 

Ashton reacted with agitation. 

The Summertons, a prominent business family in Yeringham, were known for 

their commercial prowess. However, the younger generation of this family
