Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 1338

Chapter 1338 I’m Just Doing My Job 

“Reporting to Officer Summerton, we are just following protocol.” 

The two men spoke without displaying any emotions. 

Ashton turned around and said to Emmanuel, “I’ll go inside and take a look. You guys wait here.” 

Emmanuel nodded. He used to dislike Ashton when they were enemies, but now that they were on the same side, she might turn out to be quite reliable! 

Ashton quickly walked inside with long strides. 

Although she still didn’t like Mackenzie, her feelings toward Emmanuel had changed from disgust to admiration, especially after he helped her break through her internal strength. She was grateful to him, and she would definitely help him with his matters! 

Tonight, she had originally planned to go home, but Emmanuel told her that his sister-in-law and her friends were suddenly brought here, so she changed her route and rushed over. 

Upon entering, she realized that Beatrix and the other two were still locked in the interrogation room, and no one had informed them that they could leave. 

“What’s happening here?” Ashton immediately questioned one of the officers outside the door. 

The person in charge here was named Toby Woods. When he saw Ashton, he was surprised. Looking agitated, he walked over. “Miss Summerton, why are you here?” 

“It’s Officer Summerton for you!” 

Ashton was very dissatisfied with him addressing her that way, and she put on a proud face, even though this man was a distant relative of the Summerton family. 

“Reporting to Miss- I mean, Officer Summerton, this is Madam Althea’s decision!” Toby said softly. 

“My mother?” Ashton was surprised. “Why would she do this?” 

As far as Ashton could recall, the Summerton family should have no grudges against the Quillen family. Her brother, Julian, even went to Yeringham to pursue Roselynn Because of that, the Summerton family and the Quillen family had even collaborated on some small projects. 

But now, Mom actually wants to deal with people from the Quillen family? 

What’s going on?! 

“Officer Summerton, I don’t have the answer to that,” Toby said, sounding unsure. But then he whispered, “Maybe it’s related to the Tanner family of Onza?” 

Ashton thought his speculation made sense. Although the Quillen family is the richest in Yeringham and holds great power there, they are no match for the Tanner family of Onza, which has the support of the Tanner family of Zovince. 

“Alright, I get it. Now let them go!” 

Ashton didn’t want to waste any more time and immediately gave the order. 

“R-Right!” Toby nodded.

“Alright, I get it. Now let them go!” 

Ashton didn’t want to waste any more time and immediately gave the order. 

“R-Right!” Toby nodded. 

Soon, Beatrix and the other two came out. 

The two who had just mocked Emmanuel had a sudden change of expression. It was a slap in the face! 

They couldn’t understand why. Why is Officer Summerton helping the Quillen family? Clearly, Madam Althea wants to make things difficult for them! 

Besides, Mr. Aidan got beaten up badly. Officer Summerton’s actions are undoubtedly disrespectful to the Tanner family. It would surely lead to a feud. 

“Mackenzie!” 

As soon as Beatrix saw Mackenzie, she immediately rushed over with a look of grievance, her big eyes seemingly on the verge of tears. 

Although Mackenzie wanted to ask why they had fought with Aidan from the Tanner family, she knew this wasn’t the place to talk, so she immediately said, “Stop crying. We’ll talk about it later!” 

Emmanuel, too, wasn’t in a hurry to ask Shane and Frederick about it. Instead, he followed them out. 

When they reached the door, he turned back and said to Ashton, who had just come out, “Thanks for your help.”
