Chapter 118
Mercilessly, Hermann exposed him.
“I’d just filled my tub up, Granddad. I wasn’t avoiding you. Besides, would I
need to resort to that?”
Emmanuel’s expression darkened.
It was not often that Mackenzie saw him like that, so she was curious as to
what had made him so upset.
“You’d better not! Emerson has been detained in South Manchernius, and
his ransom is a hundred and sixty thousand. How much do you have on
hand? Give it to me. Your uncle’s life is at stake.”
Hermann spoke as if it was a matter of fact.

“What’s wrong?” Mackenzie asked in concern when she saw how angry he
looked.
We live together, after all. I can’t not care.
Emmanuel told Mackenzie everything.
Mackenzie frowned in disgust as he spoke. With her experience, she
Unethical people like that would tear families apart for the sake of profits
and are worse than sc*m. They deserve to die.
Unfortunately, such a person was Emmanuel’s uncle. Furthermore, he
could not say no to his grandfather, who had personally asked him for
