Chapter 601
When Emmanuel exited the room, the Lenoirs’ butler was already waiting for
him outside. Meanwhile, Quintus threw himself at him and grabbed his
shoulders, asking, “How is Claudette? Has she woken up?”
After glancing at his surroundings, Emmanuel shook his head at him. “Not yet.
Why don’t you head inside and see her?” Since he had discovered that
Magnus wanted Claudette dead, he could not let his guard down. With
Quintus around, at least Magnus would not dare to act rashly.
At that moment, the butler asked Emmanuel, “Dr. Lowe, Madam asks that you
immediately report the situation to her after coming out of the room.”
With a nod, Emmanuel left with the butler. They passed through several
corridors before arriving at an equipment room. Inside the room, Laura was
making a video call with another noblewoman through a large screen,
giggling as they spoke. Their conversation consisted of typical flattery used in
upper society. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
When Emmanuel entered the room, he glanced at the large screen and saw
that the noblewoman was not the type of woman that wore all sorts of
expensive jewelry like she was showing off her wealth to everyone. Instead,
she was exuding a noble temperament from within.
Noble and elegant! Those were the only words he could think of to describe
the noblewoman.
Meanwhile, Magnus was sitting quietly behind Laura like an obedient child. In
addition, he had a graceful smile while listening to the two women
conversing! If Emmanuel had not fought with him earlier, he would have
thought he was a nerdy genius!
Kolton used to tell him that the real devil lay hidden under a harmless
facade, and now, Emmanuel had finally comprehended what it meant!
“Hey, it’s Dr. Lowe. How’s Claudette?” Without turning off the video call, Laura
immediately rose to her feet and approached Emmanuel, swaying her curvy
figure.
“Not good!” He was frank. “She might never wake up.”
“What?!” Her figure shivered as tears poured out of her eyes like a waterfall.
She began hitting Emmanuel’s chest the next moment to vent her emotions.
“You liar! You lied to me! You promised that you would save my daughter! If
Claudette dies, I will make sure you die with her…”
Emmanuel frowned in pain. Though Laura seemed like a weak vixen, she was
pretty strong. Also, she treated him like an enemy while hitting and grabbing
him like a shrew! However, he had no time to stop her because he had
accidentally met Magnus’ gaze.
Magnus adjusted his glasses while sadness filled with eyes. Who knew if they
were real or fake?
“How could that be? Magnus, go and check on Claudette. You have to make
sure she lives! She’s the best candidate I have in mind to be my
daughter-in-law!”
The noblewoman on-screen looked anxious.
“Yes, Mom,” he replied quickly like an obedient child. Right before he exited
the room, he sneaked a peek at Laura and Emmanuel from the corner of his
eyes.
Once he was gone, Emmanuel began to think about how he would tell Laura
the truth. After all, Quintus was all brawn and had no brain, so it was
unrealistic to count on him to protect Claudette.
“You liar! I’m going to kill you!” Suddenly, Laura began thrashing around
vigorously and pulling at Emmanuel’s clothes.
The new shirt he had specially put on for tonight was ripped into pieces, and
there were even scratches and blood on his chest and neck! Depressed, he
thought, This woman is so powerful! Is she beating me up like how she would
to a mistress?
Just as he was thinking of stopping her, she suddenly threw herself at him
and stood on her tiptoes, parting her red lips to whisper in his ear, “Dr.
Handsome, do you have a secret to tell the little old me?”
-Emmanuel felt electrocuted. When he looked at the computer equipment, he
saw they were out of the picture. It was then that he realized what Laura was
doing; she was trying to avoid the noblewoman inside the screen.
He knew the woman before him was more complex than she seemed! Could
she have seen through Magnus’ thoughts too?
“Mrs. Lenoir, someone doesn’t wish for Claudette to live!” He made it short and
simple.
Her expression showed slight shock, but she whispered in his ear, “It’s not that
he doesn’t want Claudette to live. He refuses to see her become someone
else’s wife… It’s such a pity. He knows he can’t change reality, so he destroys
everything to save his pride…
When Emmanuel heard that, he fell into a deep thought.
