Chapter 126

Emmanuel didn’t know how many hobbies Mackenzie had. However, on

the rare occasion when she was free, she would engage in idyllic

activities, such as tending to potted plants or drawing.

At that moment, she seemed tranquil and divine, much like the first time

Emmanuel met her.

It’s truly a blessing that I can return to a wife like her at home. In an instant,

he felt his weariness had vanished.

“You’re back?” asked Mackenzie without turning her head.

“Yeah. Have you eaten yet, Ms. Quillen?”

Emmanuel always assumed Mackenzie was just an executive instead of

the daughter of a rich family with housekeepers serving her. Hence, he

couldn’t help but worry that she would starve when she was alone for not

knowing how to cook.

“I did. I bought food for you too. It’s sitting in the microwave. If you’re full,

you can throw it away.” The moment Mackenzie finished her sentence,

Emmanuel headed into the kitchen.

He hadn’t eaten anything yet. It was nine at night when he left the police

station, so he thought about having instant noodles at home for dinner.

Thus, he was surprised she bought something for him.

As Mackenzie watched him devour the takeout she bought in the living

room, she couldn’t help but grin. He eats like a ghost who died of

starvation. How unsightly.

After a while, she approached him. “Your uncle was smuggled to northern

Manchernius thirty–four days ago. He’s part of an online scam, baiting

innocents into an online casino.”

Emmanuel was stunned before he turned to Mackenzie in shock.

Instead of commenting on his reaction, she continued, “There are others

like him, dreaming of getting rich quickly. Among the eleven of them,

seven have successfully returned to the country. The ransom was only

thirty thousand. The one hundred and sixty thousand was just something

your granddad made up!”

“What?” Emmanuel was taken aback before rage colored his

countenance.

“Are you doubting me? Do you not believe your granddad is lying to you?”

“No, no! I believe you, Ms. Quillen! You’re a hundred times more trustworthy

than my granddad!”

A giddy smile settled on Mackenzie’s face after listening to his words and

observing his expression. “Naturally. I don’t like lying, after all.”

Upon ending her sentence, she felt guilty. Despite what I said, I still haven’t

told him my true identity!

Emmanuel didn’t notice her micro–expressions and tightened his fists. This

is exactly the kind of thing my granddad would do! If he weren’t a terrible

man, he wouldn’t have raised my uncle to be equally horrendous, too.

“There’s one more thing. My friend working at a private university in

는

Yeringham noticed something odd about a new student applying for

sponsored admission. His name is Jamison Cadigan, and his father’s

name is the same as your uncle’s!” As Mackenzie spoke, she sent

Emmanuel Jamison’s application form.

In response, Emmanuel gandered at it. Yeah, he’s definitely my cousin,

Jamison. His high school grades are awful, yet he still wants to study at a

private university. The admission fee is exactly fifty thousand, and the

latest payment date is in three days! I think I understand what’s going on

now!

He was so engulfed in fury that he lost his appetite and punched the

couch. I can’t believe I have such shameless relatives!

Meanwhile, Mackenzie wasn’t sure if he connected all the dots, so she

continued, “Clearly, your uncle was blinded by greed and went to northern

Manchernius. If he wished to return, he needed to pay the ransom of thirty

thousand. As for the remaining fifty thousand, your grandfather was

planning to use it to help your cousin enter a university!”

Emmanuel nodded. No wonder Jamison seems so impatient today and

pushed Roselynn. He’s not doing it for his irresponsible father but for

himself!

“Thank you for helping me again, Ms. Quillen!” As furious as Emmanuel

was, he still wanted to thank Mackenzie first.

In response, Mackenzie acted cool. “No need to thank me. I just so

happened to learn the news. Besides, it’s not difficult to discover this.”
