Chapter 689
“Wait a minute!” Mackenzie stared at the woman in uniform and spoke in an
icy and domineering voice, “Who are you? Why have I never seen you
before?”
The woman glanced at her as well. Several seconds later, she curled her lips
into a smirk and proudly announced, “My name is Ashton. I’m a new inspector
in Yeringham. Are you doubting my identity, Ms. Quillen?”
Nonetheless, Ashton’s words did nothing to assuage the wariness in
Mackenzie’s heart as she remained vigilant. The Quillen family had a vast
network across the entire Yeringham. As the new–generation leader of the
Quillen family, she made it her business to learn about all the important
figures in society.
So, she couldn’t help but wonder why the police department of Yeringham

“Let’s go. You’re not going to resist arrest, are you?” Ashton stared straight at
Emmanuel.
Emmanuel turned to look at Mackenzie after fending off the two uniformed

“Go with them. I’ll make sure you won’t be accused of crimes you’ve never
committed,” Mackenzie said.
Only then did Emmanuel nod and leave with the three of them.
The instant they were out of sight, Mackenzie decided against returning

Just then, Wally drove the Bentley and arrived at the entrance in a hurry.
Mackenzie opened the door and entered the car before ordering, “Get me to
the Quillen residence as quickly as possible.”
“Yes, Ms. Quillen.”
Around 30 minutes later, Mackenzie and Terence were seated in a room in
order to have a private discussion.
They made sure to dismiss any servants nearby before finally getting into the
thick of it. Only Alfred was allowed to remain, albeit outside the room.
When Terence finally learned that Emmanuel had been arrested, he said
confidently, “Tell Lexi to look into Ashton’s background, Mackenzie. Don’t worry.
Since we’re in Yeringham, no one has the guts to harm one of ours.”
Mackenzie needed her grandfather’s assurance, which was why she even
bothered to rush to the Quillen residence this late at night.
Actually, she had already asked Lexi to look into the matter. She knew that
even if the wealthy families from Zovince wanted to harass them in
Yeringham, they could only use the help of some inspectors that were deep
