A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481 

After all, Felicity was from the esteemed Lenoir family, and it seemed 

inconceivable that she had no authority within her own household. 

She refused to accept the reality. 

Just then, a gentle knock came from the door, signaling Lexi’s arrival. 

With Mackenzie’s permission, she entered and reported, “Ms. Mackenzie, Mr. 

Bryant is highly confident, with over 90% certainty, that Emmanuel will be 

acquitted!” 

“Fantastic!” Mackenzie nodded, her eyes brimming with trust. “I’ll entrust this 

matter to you, then.” 

At that, Terence added sternly, “Lexi, being 90% confident is not enough! He 

must secure Emmanuel’s acquittal without fail. Should any complications 

arise, notify me immediately. There’s no need to fear General Lenoir as long 

as I’m here!” 

“Understood, Old Mr. Quillen!” Lexi swiftly nodded in utmost respect. She was 

well aware of Terence’s connections and influence. With his support, even 

Adolph would be rendered powerless against Emmanuel’s case. 

“Old Mr. Quillen and Mackenzie, sooner or later, all of you will come to regret 

protecting him!” Overwhelmed by anger, Felicity had no choice but to storm 

out of the room. 

Silently, Sarah followed in her footsteps. 

Meanwhile, at the Lenoir Residence, Adolph gazed upon his second son’s 

lifeless body, his expression darkening like an impending storm. 

Quintus couldn’t help but shiver with fear as he beheld his father’s expression. 

On the other hand, Elizabeth couldn’t believe that Emmanuel was responsible 

for her brother’s death and wanted to speak up for him. However, in the face 

of her father’s expression, she found herself unable to voice her thoughts. 

“General, the Quillen family has enlisted Mr. Bryant as Emmanuel’s defense 

attorney. It seems unlikely that we will achieve justice for Tobias through legal 

means.” Laura finally broke the oppressive silence. 

“Hmph! The Quillen family’s audacity knows no bounds!” Adolph’s words 

reverberated with anger as he slammed his palm down on the table. 

In an instant, the table snapped in half with a loud noise. 

“When I retired from Tocvale and returned to Yeringham thirty years ago, I 

was invincible! No one dared to challenge the Lenoir family! And now, that 

young lady from the Quillens has stolen away my precious daughter’s man 

and caused her so much suffering. They’ve even ruthlessly taken my son’s 

life! If I don’t eliminate Mackenzie and Emmanuel, how will the people of 

Yeringham perceive me? How can I uphold my pride and dignity in this city?” 

These words struck fear into Elizabeth’s heart. 

The very situation she had desperately hoped to avoid was now coming to 

pass. 

Deep down, she knew that Claudette truly loved Emmanuel and that he was 

innocent of any wrongdoing regarding her death. However, with her father 

and stepmother resolute in their beliefs, she felt utterly powerless to sway 

their convictions. 

How can I save Emmanuel? Should I find an opportunity to convince him to 

leave Yeringham? Elizabeth contemplated silently within herself. 

“Haha! Dad, it’s unfair to solely blame Mackenzie for everything!” Elizabeth 

couldn’t speak up for Emmanuel, but Quintus finally summoned the courage 

to defend Mackenzie. 

However, his words were met with a swift and forceful slap from Adolph. 

“Shut up! Now that the Lenoir and Quillen families are at odds, don’t take the 

wrong side just because of a woman! Your younger brother was beaten to 

death by Emmanuel, and now I command you to seek revenge by ending his 

life!” Adolph sternly ordered Quintus. 

Frustration and inner turmoil consumed Quintus as he grappled with his 

emotions. He wanted to confront Emmanuel and challenge him, but the 

thought of taking his life had never crossed his mind.
