âWhy are you glaring at me? Iâll really get tired!â 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 coupleâs relationship. While she disliked
Mackenzie, she never thought of using such underhanded tactics.
Seeing her expression, Emmanuel knew that she realized her mistake. He didnât bother scolding her
and decided to go down quickly to avoid further complications.
On the other side, Mackenzie had a restless night. Emmanuelâs 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 Emmanuelâs 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 didnât contain explicit evidence, there
were numerous related data indicating the presence of spies within the Terence Groupâs 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 didnât think Lara was betraying the Quillen family. Could it be that she was just infatuated
with Gautier
and acted out of ignorance, damaging the familyâs interests?
The next morning, Emmanuel still hadnât returned home. Mackenzie arranged for Wally to pick her up
and take her to the company.
Wally hadnât driven her in a while, and since Mackenzie didnât 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.
âWhat did you say? Rioters attacking our research building?â 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.
âWally, hurry, take me to the research building!â
âMs. Quillen, this might be dangerous! Shouldnât we wait for the police to handle it?â
While Wally wasnât 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?!

While Wally wasnât 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?!
âNo, I must go to protect the Heart of the Sun!â Mackenzieâs mind was made up.
The Heart of the Sun wasnât just the Quillen familyâs 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.
âAlright then!â 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.
Mackenzieâs face grew increasingly pale. Despite her high position and experience, this was the first
time she had witnessed such a scene.
âMs. Quillen, donât go in. Over a dozen ruthless thugs have already entered. Theyâre vicious and killing
without mercy!â 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 didnât want Mackenzie to enter, having just witnessed the attackersâ formidable
strength. These were no ordinary criminals; they seemed to belong to a large international
organization, not some petty thieves.
âNo, I must go in!â Mackenzie remained determined and sternly instructed, âWally, Captain Zavolinsky,
take a few people with me! Iâll reward you handsomely afterward!â
