A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691 

Mackenzie headed straight to the company after leaving the Quillen 

residence. 

Considering the current atmosphere in the Quillen family, she couldn’t find it 

in herself to stay with them any longer. Besides, since Emmanuel wasn’t 

around, she wasn’t willing to return to the Yociam Residence either. 

“Ms. Quillen! Ms. Quillen!” 

Lexi was single and a workaholic to boot. So, she had already enthusiastically 

returned to her post after enjoying some time off. When she saw Mackenzie 

making an appearance in the office, she hurriedly approached the woman. 

“What’s wrong?” Mackenzie rarely saw Lexi looking so flustered. Therefore, 

something big had definitely happened. 

As expected, Lexi quickly replied, “The new inspector, Ashton, is actually my 

cousin. She’s one of Magnus‘ fervent fans.” 

Mackenzie was surprised upon hearing that. 

Although she had never come into contact with Magnus, she had heard a lot 

about the man, who was one of Zovince’s Four Geniuses. 

The scholars in Chanaea called him ‘Magnus the Genius‘. He was famous for 

being well–mannered and gentlemanly. There was no doubt he was a scion 

who was intelligent, elegant, and wealthy. 

He loved socializing and traveling. Moreover, he would frequently show up in 

some variety shows, presenting himself as a genius to the public. Thus, it 

wasn’t exactly strange that he gained massive popularity in the country. 

“Are you worried she’ll harm Emmanuel because she loves Magnus?” 

“She definitely will.” Lexi sounded certain. “I know her. She’s a proud woman 

who is very selective when it comes to men. However, she’s very fond of 

Magnus. In the past, someone doubted Magnus‘ capabilities right in front of 

her, saying he didn’t live up to his name. She didn’t think twice about beating 

that person up right then and there. She’s adept at martial arts, but she’s 

hot–tempered. That’s why the other police officers call her Tyrannosaurus in 

secret. If she’s in charge of interrogating Emmanuel, I’m worried he’ll be 

tormented during the process.” 

After Mackenzie listened to Lexi’s report, her hands on the table 

unconsciously balled into fists. 

Soon, Lexi noticed a cold glint radiating from Mackenzie’s eyes as the woman 

said impassively, “It seems that someone is targeting Emmanuel.” 

“My thoughts exactly!” Lexi affirmed with certainty. “Ashton isn’t the only 

inspector who was transferred to Yeringham from Nuthana. There’s also 

another male inspector.” 

“Alright.” Mackenzie nodded. After she gave it some thought, she ordered, 

“Help me give the captain a call, Lexi.” 

“Yes, Ms. Quillen.” Lexi immediately took action, but no one answered the call. 

“What should we do, Ms. Quillen? Perhaps the captain is busy.” 

Lexi was anxious. If they couldn’t save Emmanuel from this hot water, he 

would go through a lot of hardship and he might even end up in a horrible 

state. 

“Get the car ready. I have to go to the police station right now.” 

“Yes, Ms. Quillen.” 

Meanwhile, in the small room, Ashton scoffed at Emmanuel before stating, 

“According to the clues and evidence I’ve collected, it shows that you 

abducted Ms. Lenoir by using the excuse of treating her illness. If you wanted 

to save her, you could’ve done so in her house.” 

“No,” Emmanuel replied seriously. “Somebody wanted to kill her in her house.” 

“That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my career.” Ashton could barely 

conceal her contempt. 

In all honesty, she was a beautiful woman, but Emmanuel couldn’t find it in 

himself to treat her with anything but disdain. 

“If that is the case, then why don’t you tell me who was trying to harm Ms. 

Lenoir in her own home?” 

“Magnus Zelinsky!” Emmanuel promptly replied. 

Ashton forcefully slapped the pen in her hand on the table upon hearing that, 

causing the metal table to tremble. The vibrations made Emmanuel’s ears 

hurt. 

He furrowed his brows at her violent reaction, immediately figuring out that 

the woman was adept at martial arts. 

“I’ve been told that I have a bad temper, so I’d suggest that you stop spouting 

nonsense.” Ashton mounted pressure on the man with her sharp gaze. 

“Everyone in Chanaea knows that Mr. Magnus has always been in love with 

Ms. Lenoir. He came all the way from Zovince to Yeringham with his people 

just to help her. How dare you accuse him of killing Ms. Lenoir?” 

Emmanuel only returned her accusing gaze with a calm one of his own. Since 

the woman was visibly agitated, her chest could be seen heaving in her 

anger.
