Chapter 1177 Do I Need Protection?

She thought Emmanuel was much more idle than Sage. Besides chauffeuring his wife all day, who knew what else he would normally be up to?! Still, she couldn’t bring herself to ask Emmanuel to teach her, for that way, he would 

become her master! 

No! Absolutely no way! She despised him and his sister. The Lowe siblings were good people. 

“If your strength improves, it will be beneficial for future investigations. At least you won’t have your life nearly taken by a woman from the Holy Fire organization with a single strike!” Emmanuel didn’t know what she was thinking and continued to speak. 

“Hmph, the next time I encounter that woman, I’ll definitely shoot her dead!” Ashton said in a somewhat boastful manner. As the reigning female combat champion, she has a reputation after all! 

Given what she said, Emmanuel couldn’t continue the conversation. 

Instead, Ashton, thinking since Emmanuel had saved her, wanted to give him some important information, which Sage had wanted to tell him that night. 

“Hey, Claudette Lenoir might not be dead.” 

“What… what did you say?” Emmanuel immediately stopped the car, turned to look at her, and anxiously asked, “Explain clearly. Is there new progress in the investigation?” 

Ashton coldly snorted. “Don’t you already have a wife? Why are you so concerned about other women?” 

“Tell me!” Emmanuel boomed. 

Claudette was his confidante and his best opposite-sex friend, holding a very significant place in his heart. He couldn’t accept Ashton beating around the bush on this matter! 

“What… What’s with that attitude? Your gaze is a bit intimidating!” The hot-tempered Ashton, feeling somewhat wronged at the moment, reluctantly explained, “We found some clothing fragments and even hair follicles with roots at the halfway point. The identification confirmed that they belonged to her!” 

“What?!” Emmanuel’s eyes widened, immediately saying, “So, you mean Claudette might still be alive?” 

Even he couldn’t believe this conclusion. He knew Claudette’s physical condition better than anyone else. Without his medical skills, she could have died at any moment. Moreover, falling from such a high place, who could have possibly saved her? Yet, as long as Claudette’s body hadn’t been found, he couldn’t definitively say she was dead. At least he had to maintain a one-in-a-million hope. 

Seeing his intense concern for Claudette, Ashton couldn’t help but sneer again. What a scumbag. 

Clearly, he had a wife, yet he cared so much about other women. If he were just a typical scumbag who cared about any pretty woman he saw, it would be one thing, but he played double standards. 

Am I not pretty too?! Why must he treat me so poorly?! Seriouslvi

At that, Ashton couldn’t help recalling two things Emmanuel had said-she wasn’t as beautiful as his sister, and she had a large forehead. 

It was truly maddening.
