âGrandpa,â she said, âweâve retrieved the Heart of the Sun. Sage will take care of what happened
tonight. Iâll let you know tomorrow when thereâs progress. Iâm tired and want to rest for a while.â
The other three women were still concerned. Why didnât Mackenzie tell them the details? Also, where
exactly was she injured? Why was there something odd about the way she walked?
On the other hand, Terence seemed to have noticed something. After a moment of surprise, he burst
into laughter, saying, âGreat! Excellent! Thereâs no rush; you and Emmanuel go back to your room and
finish your business first! Hahaâ¦â
Felicity, Beatrix, and Lara had never experienced such a thing before, so how would they know where
Mackenzie was hurt?
Only Terence, the old fox, knew it, but even he found it hard to believe. Emmanuel, this little rascal,
used to be as timid as a rabbit. He had been living with my granddaughter for almost half a year and
yet hadnât managed to win her over. Who would have thought that they would⦠under such
circumstances tonight? Heheâ¦
As an old man, he couldnât understand the thoughts of young people nowadays. Itâd be best if they
could start a family together.
Back in the room, after locking the door, Mackenzie glared at Emmanuel.
Emmanuel touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed under his wifeâs gaze.
âYou embarrassed me! Someone must know what happenedâ¦â Mackenzie didnât have time to think
about it at the time, but now that she was home, she felt it was inappropriate. This foolish Emmanuel
was so ungentlemanly; he hurt me so much, as if he had torn me apart. I probably wonât be able to
walk properly tomorrow and wonât dare to go to the company!
If people in the company found out what had happened to her the night before, word of it would quickly
spread like wildfire, causing a public sensation!
âIâm sorry, I didnât think about it at the timeâ¦â Emmanuel gave her a wry smile. He really wasnât a
beast, but all men have their beastly side. All he could do now was apologize.
âHumph!â Mackenzie snorted coldly and walked into the bathroom with an odd gait to take a shower.
The night gradually faded.
In the villa on the outskirts of Yeringham, Hattie also stayed up all night, waiting for news.
Finally, Dominique approached her and said with a sigh, âMiss, Mr. Magnusâ plan has failed again. His
body was found downstream of the river.â
Hattie sighed sadly and fell silent.
Her mother, who had a unique identity, had married into the Zelinsky family. Before that, the head of the

âHumph!â Mackenzie snorted coldly and walked into the bathroom with an odd gait to take a shower.

In the villa on the outskirts of Yeringham, Hattie also stayed up all night, waiting for news.
Finally, Dominique approached her and said with a sigh, âMiss, Mr. Magnusâ plan has failed again. His
body was found downstream of the river.â
Hattie sighed sadly and fell silent.
Her mother, who had a unique identity, had married into the Zelinsky family. Before that, the head of the
Zelinsky family had already married two wives. Her mother gave birth to a boy and a girl for the
Zelinsky family, but because of her identity, she was not accepted by the other members of the Zelinsky
family.
When she was little, she was often bullied by other children in the Zelinsky family. It was her brother
who had always protected her.
Since she was a child, she had suffered from a strange illness, which made her physically weak. It was
her brother who had tried every means to help prolong her life.
Her brother had used his intelligence to accomplish many surprising and admirable things, finally
gaining the approval of the elders of the Zelinsky family and being included in the list of heirs. As long
as he could bring the Heart of the Sun back to the Zelinsky family, he could become the familyâs heir.
They, as siblings, could then take charge of the Zelinsky family and seek revenge for their motherâs
past suffering.
But who would have thought that her brother, a brilliant person who had always succeeded effortlessly
in everything he did and had been bestowed the title of Magnus the Genius by the Great Sage of
Chanaea, would repeatedly fail in this matter?
The man who caused her brother to fail and even die was named Emmanuel. Although there was no
evidence of it, it was speculated that he was very likely the former Wolf Warrior.
âMagnus, I will avenge you!â
Tears continued to stream down Hattieâs face.
Outsiders believed that Magnus was dealing with Emmanuel because of Claudette, but in reality, he
was doing so for his sisterâs sake. There was a mysterious connection between her peculiar illness and
Claudetteâs, so it was all for her well-being that her brother desired to marry Claudette into the Zelinsky
family.
Observing Hattie in this state, Dominique clenched her fists in anger. Hattie had humbled himself by
personally coming to Zovince to find Emmanuel, pleading for Magnusâs life and agreeing to any
conditions he might impose! Yet, that man disregarded Hattieâs plea and killed Magnus! He is simply
too arrogant and self-centered. How unforgivable!
âDominique, let Mr. Parrish handle the companyâs affairs on my behalf for now. I intend to remain in
Yeringham to avenge my brother and retrieve the Heart of the Sun for him!â
