Chapter 1180 What to Do?

Sooner or later, Emmanuel would have to acknowledge her, even worship her, submit to

her, and compliment her

beauty.

However, Emmanuel didn’t bother with her thoughts. After the incidents with Claudette

and Queenie, he had to maintain distance from women other than his family. It was a

responsibility to his wife and to himself.

Soon, the two each drove and arrived at the back of the Lenoir Residence.

The once majestic Lenoir Residence now appeared deserted, and the gate was locked

shut, giving a sense of

emptiness.

Emmanuel wondered where Quintus had gone, though. It had been a long time since he

bothered Mackenzie Could it be that his number one rival had given up on Mackenzie and

moved on to pursue other women? If that

were the case, it was a good thing.

Because the place where they discovered traces of Claudette was halfway up the

mountain, the two of them had

to take safety measures and use a rope to descend.

“Officer Summerton, your body hasn’t fully recovered. How about you tell me the

approximate location, and I’ll go

down and take a look myself?” Emmanuel suggested reasonably.

However, Ashton was unappreciative and coldly snorted. “Are you underestimating me?

I’ve undergone rigorous

training as a policewoman for many years! One night of rest is more than enough for this

minor injury!” At that, she

continued to secure the safety measures and insisted on going down first.

“Well, uh…” Emmanuel was just concerned about her being injured, but it unexpectedly

triggered her pride. Whatever, if she wants to go down, it’s her choice. After all, it’s her

life. Emmanuel quickly followed suit.

At first, Ashton was in the lead. However, she noticed that Emmanuel was slowly catching

up. Suddenly worried about being overtaken by him and facing his mockery, she sped up.

“Hey, don’t push yourself too hard!” Emmanuel shouted as he noticed.

He was her attending physician, and he knew more about her physical condition than she

did. She just had surgery

the night before. Certainly, she couldn’t afford to be reckless now.

But the more he shouted, the more pleased Ashton became. “Hmph! Who do you think

you’re looking down on? When it comes to rock climbing, I am a hundred times better than

you!”

Thinking that Emmanuel was shouting to keep up with her pace, she accelerated even

more to leave him behind. If there was one thing she could be better at, it wouldn’t make

her feel vulnerable in front of him.

To her surprise, as she increased her speed, Emmanuel also accelerated and got closer.

“This guy is quite skilled!” Ashton was already struggling, but driven by her competitive

spirit, she continued to speed up.

To her surprise, as she increased her speed, Emmanuel also accelerated and got closer.

“This guy is quite skilled!” Ashton was already struggling, but driven by her competitive

spirit, she continued to speed up.

“Hey, stop! Stop now!” Emmanuel’s voice kept coming from above. However, Ashton felt

extremely proud, thinking, You can’t catch up, can you? Are you surrendering? Well, I’m

not stopping!

Lo and behold, a sudden snap came from above. The rugged rocks cut the hemp rope tied

to her body due to

intense friction.

The sudden turn of events caught Ashton off guard, and she rapidly plummeted.

Fortunately, with her seasoned experience and agility, she quickly grabbed onto a rock.

However, the rock, worn smooth by years and water droplets, was extremely slippery. As

she exerted force, her wound opened up again, causing intense pain. Unable to hold on

any longer, she loosened her grip, and her whole body fell.

“Ah!”

Even the strongest woman would scream in this situation. Her body collided with the

protruding rock, causing unbearable pain.

“D*mn it!” Emmanuel had no choice but to jump straight down, his feet pushing against

the cliff to accelerate the

descent.

Fortunately, the two were not far apart, and he quickly caught Ashton.

The weight and impact of their bodies made Emmanuel’s hemp rope almost unbearable.

In this critical situation, Emmanuel, to protect Ashton, had to use his body to shield her

from the impact when the rope pulled back.

Bam!

Emmanuel’s right arm was instantly numbed by the impact of the mountain rocks. The

unconscious Ashto

rather unreasonable manner, collided with him with her pair of melons, exerting heavy

pressure that made it

difficult for him to catch his breath.

“Hey, Officer Summerton, wake up!” Emmanuel endured the pain and gently slapped

Ashton’s cheek with his left

hand, but she was already unconscious.

“Annoying!” Emmanuel frowned. Seriously, what is this woman trying to prove? She’s

seriously injured, yet she acts as if this is some kind of rock climbing competition! Now,

we’re both hanging halfway up the mountain. What do you say

we do, hub, woman?!
