Chapter 1400

Everything Gone Complicated

“What’s going on?” Emmanuelasked immediately.

Beside him, Mackenzie clenched her fist. If anyone dared to harm her Quillen family, it meant war, and

she wasn’t about to let

that slide!

“I’m not entirely sure, but he said to attend the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown tomorrow and

everything will become clear. He also mentioned it’s the free-for-all tournament tomorrow!” Ashton

relayed the message.

She had almost gotten into it with someone named Mr. Tanner earlier, but without evidence, and

considering she was investigating in a personal capacity, she refrained from confronting Aidan. Given

the Tanner family’s influence and prominence, if she dared to act against Aidan impulsively, she could

risk losing her position afterwards. So, she could only be held back from resorting to violence!

After hanging up, Emmanuel wanted to rush to the Tanner family and deal with the issue immediately.

“How can we wait until the next day? Who knew how Aidan would treat Beatrix?”

But just as Emmanuel started to rise and plan to find the Tanner family, Mackenzie suddenly felt dizzy!

Emmanuel had to abandon his plans and quickly support Mackenzie, asking with concern, “Mackenzie,

are you okay?”

“I… I’ll be fine. Mackenzie said softly, but she looked unwell.

“Let me check your pulse,” Emmanuel suggested, feeling a strange suspicion.

Besides some stomach problems, Mackenzie had always been healthy. Suddenly feeling dizzy was

new since their marriage!

“Could she be pregnant?” Emmanuel thought in his mind.

“No need,” Mackenzie declined firmly. “Maybe I just need some rest. I’ll go lie down and I should be

okay.”

She also didn’t know why she didn’t want Emmanuel to know about her current condition even in this

tense situation.

At the same time, she hoped he would rescue Beatrix now instead of worrying about Mackenzie!

But how could Emmanuel not worry?

With Chloe’s health concerns, he could only stay home and have Eve send someone to find Beatrix.

But there was no update all night.

The next day, with Beatrix still missing, despite it being the weekend, Mackenzie had to oversee the

Hadley factory’s reconstruction herself, managing things on site. The Titan Group’s project was crucial

to the Quillen family, no room for

mistakes!

Emmanuel stayed with Mackenzie, waiting for news from Eve and Wally.

And without evidence that Beatrix was in danger, they had to wait 24 hours before investigating!

By evening, neither Eve nor Wally had received any news. Onza was so vast, and they were not police

officers. Finding someone in such circumstances was too difficult.

After Emmanuel and Mackenzie reported the case to the authorities, they had no choice but to go to

tonight’s free-for-all tournament at the boxing ring, as per Aidan’s instructions!

The Quillen family was also participating in the Grand Martial Showdown. Because of their tarnished

reputation and not being members of the chamber of commerce, they didn’t have the same privileges

as the Silverbane family and Chapman family according to unwritten rules.

Emmanuel and Mackenzie guessed that the competition to advance to the next round would be intense

at the beginning and end of the preliminary rounds. So, they decided to register for the 17th day of the

preliminaries based on their instincts.

preliminaries based on their instincts.

Emmanuel had already been registered for the 17th day by the organizers, so even if there was open

registration tonight, hẹ wouldn’t have a chance to compete!

Of course, Emmanuel wasn’t there to compete tonight. They were there to watch Aidan’s moves!

“Emmanuel, Mackenzie!”

“Ms. Quillen!”

As they approached, they heard Shane and Frederick calling from behind.

“We’ve been waiting for you! What’s up with Beatrix?”

“Yeah, we gotta make sure the safety of Ms. Beatrix. If anything happens to her, we can’t let Mr. Tanner

off the hook!”

Shane and Frederick knew about Beatrix because Emmanuel had told them. That’s why they’d been

waiting at the arena’s entrance early in the morning, unable to go in but waiting for Emmanuel and

Mackenzie to show up.

Seeing their worried faces, Mackenzie was surprised. “Did they really care so much about Beatrix? Did

Beatrix have such a close relationship with them?” Mackenzie felt curious. “Why did it seem like they

both acted like Beatrix’s significant others?”
