Chapter 1183 I Must Go In

“Why are you glaring at me? I’ll really get tired!” Ashton looked like a child who had done

something wrong. At this moment, who could have imagined that she was a leading

female police officer?

Sure, she despised Emmanuel and wanted to scold him endlessly. However, she also had a

sense of morality. Her previous words almost jeopardized the couple’s relationship. While

she disliked Mackenzie, she never thought of using such underhanded tactics.

Seeing her expression, Emmanuel knew that she realized her mistake. He didn’t bother

scolding her and decided to go down quickly to avoid further complications.

On the other side, Mackenzie had a restless night. Emmanuel’s not returning home was

one aspect. Another reason was that, before going to sleep, she received a message from

Frederick, or rather, a report.

As Emmanuel’s close friend, Frederick valued the position Mackenzie provided him.

Leveraging some power granted by Mackenzie, along with assistance from Sheldon and

Ryder, Frederick diligently collected various information within the Terence Group.

That day, he prepared a report for Mackenzie. While the report didn’t contain explicit

evidence, there were numerous related data indicating the presence of spies within the

Terence Group’s research department. They had leaked substantial data from the Terence

Group. This even included Lara.

She had even provided relevant experimental data to Gautier. Although without the Heart

of the Sun, these data might not be very useful to outsiders, who knows?! After all, they

were sensitive business secrets! What was Lara really thinking?

Mackenzie didn’t think Lara was betraying the Quillen family. Could it be that she was just

infatuated with Gautier

and acted out of ignorance, damaging the family’s interests?

The next morning, Emmanuel still hadn’t returned home. Mackenzie arranged for Wally to

pick her up and take her

to the company.

Wally hadn’t driven her in a while, and since Mackenzie didn’t notify him in advance last

night, he arrived a bit later

than usual. Mackenzie was running later than her typical office hours when she received

an urgent call from Lexi.

“What did you say? Rioters attacking our research building?” Her face instantly turned

pale.

She had always known that once the Heart of the Sun entered commercial use, it would

attract thieves. However, she was only guarding against thieves and never anticipated a

full-blown assault.

“Wally, hurry, take me to the research building!”

“Ms. Quillen, this might be dangerous! Shouldn’t we wait for the police to handle it?”

While Wally wasn’t aware of the current situation, hearing Mackenzie mention thugs

attacking the research building hinted at a perilous situation. How could he allow the

young heiress to personally expose herself to such danger?!

“No, I must go to protect the Heart of the Sun!” Mackenzie’s mind was made up.

The Heart of the Sun wasn’t just the Quillen family’s treasure; it was also an heirloom

passed down from her father Her grandfather entrusted it to her, and she had to

safeguard it. Despite the layers of protection around the Heart of the Sun, what if these

criminals managed to take it before the police arrived?! Only she could deactivate the

security system, so she had to go herself.

“Alright then!” Wally had no choice but to comply.

Arriving outside the research building, it was indeed chaotic. Several areas had been

bombed, and many people lay in pools of blood, their fates unknown. Broken walls,

stained floors-the attackers had clearly forced their way in.

Mackenzie’s face grew increasingly pale. Despite her high position and experience, this

was the first time she had witnessed such a scene.

“Ms. Quillen, don’t go in. Over a dozen ruthless thugs have already entered. They’re

vicious and killing without mercy!” Security Captain Ivan Zavolinsky hurriedly advised

Mackenzie. He was covered in dirt and bloodstains, indicating a fierce struggle with the

attackers.

Behind him, there were over twenty security personnel from the Terence Group, including

Sheldon and Ryder. They also didn’t want Mackenzie to enter, having just witnessed the

attackers’ formidable strength. These were no ordinary criminals; they seemed to belong

to a large international organization, not some petty thieves.

“No, I must go in!” Mackenzie remained determined and sternly instructed, “Wally,

Captain Zavolinsky, take a few people with me! I’ll reward you handsomely afterward!”
