Chapter 401
Mackenzie ignored Beatrix and walked out the door with two of her men
trailing behind her. As expected, she saw Quintus smoking while waiting by
his Land Rover.
Quintus immediately flicked off his cigarette when he saw Mackenzie and
sprayed mint cologne all over his body while chewing some gum before
walking toward her after ensuring that he did not have any smell of smoke on
-him.
She was speechless at his actions. What is this guy made of? I would have
thought that he was one of my men if I didn’t know him.
Unfortunately, Quintus couldn’t be blamed as he knew of Mackenzie’s
misandry and that she didn’t like the smell of smoke. If he didn’t do that, she
would have walked away as soon as they met.
“What are you here for?” Mackenzie questioned coldly.
She came to see Quintus as she thought he wanted to avenge Claudette’s
death. However, considering his actions, she knew that wasn’t the case.
“I want to have dinner with you, Mackenzie!” Quintus invited her with a smile.
“Dinner? Is this to repay you for saving me?” Mackenzie didn’t like to owe
people things and wanted to settle the matter. She could accept anything
except being together with him.
Yet, Quintus was confused. “What do you mean by saving you?”
She realized something in his expression and questioned urgently, “That night
at the valley. It wasn’t you who saved me from the two assassins?”
“Oh! You were referring to that?”
He acted as if he almost forgot about it and laughed, “Emmanuel, that idiot,
wanted to save you instead of my sister. How could that be? He’s supposed
to be with my sister and you’re mine. So, I saved you. Were you planning on
repaying me with your heart-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed the cold glint in her beautiful
eyes and realized he probably said something wrong.

Well, this shouldn’t be the case. I saved her. She can’t hate me for that, right?
“That idiot!” Mackenzie cursed under her breath and ignored Quintus as she
stormed toward her Bentley.
“Hey. Hey! Mackenzie, if you don’t want to give me your heart, you can give
me a kiss! Or, dinner works too!”
After Mackenzie left in her Bentley, Quintus walked to his Land Rover and
asked Zane, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, “Did I say something just
now? She’s divorced Emmanuel and I went to her rescue like a prince. It
would be a fairytale if she gave me her heart.”
Zane simply smiled without answering. No one dared to tell their boss
straight to the face that they were stupid. He didn’t want any trouble.
“Ms. Quillen, where are we heading now?”
Wally was a smart driver. He drove off to help Mackenzie escape Quintus
before asking her where to go.
Alas, Mackenzie stayed silent as she also didn’t know where to go.
At that moment, Lexi called to report to her.
“What? You can’t find Emmanuel?”
“Yes, Ms. Quillen! I’ve used every channel I’ve got to look for him in Yeringham
and no sign of him. He has either gone into hiding or has left Yeringham.”
“Left Yeringham?” Mackenzie suddenly straightened her back as her heart felt
empty and overwhelmed. Why did that idiot leave? Was it because we
divorced or because of Claudette’s death? He couldn’t accept it and wanted
to escape?
Suddenly, numerous questions filled her mind and she felt unnerved by the
