Chapter 316
While the members of the rescue team were anxiously awaiting Mackenzie’s
return, they unexpectedly found Emmanuel returning. He was supporting
Claudette as they arrived at the rescue area.
“Mr. Lowe, Ms. Lenoir, did you not encounter Ms. Quillen?” the rescue team
captain hurriedly approached and asked, feeling incredibly restless.
He would bear the blame if something happened to Mackenzie. How was he
to explain it to the Quillen family?
Emmanuel shook his head and anxiously asked in return, “Has Mackenzie not
come back?”
Livid, the captain stomped his foot. “Would I ask you if she had returned?”
“We got separated from her,” Claudette quickly replied. “There were people in
the valley trying to kill us. Emmanuel saved me but couldn’t bring Ms. Quillen
back.”
In turn, the members of the rescue team looked at each other in shock.
Let Go
Mackenzie had only descended into the valley to save Emmanuel, but Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Emmanuel, in his attempt to save another woman, hadn’t brought her back?
Has Ms. Quillen’s love failed her? What blasphemy! This is Makenzie Quillen,
the number one icy goddess of Yeringham, for heaven’s sake!
Just then, Mackenzie returned to the rescue site with Hubert behind her.
“Mackenzie! Thank goodness you’re okay!” Emmanuel hurriedly rushed over,
visibly relieved.
However, Mackenzie glanced at him, then at Claudette trailing behind him.
Her cold gaze stabbed him like a sword through the heart.
Emmanuel shivered.

As expected, Mackenzie didn’t acknowledge him and simply walked away
while instructing the captain, “Let’s go back. We’re leaving as many people as
we came!”
“We…” It quickly dawned on the captain that Mackenzie didn’t want to take
Emmanuel and Claudette back with them.
What’s the meaning of this? You were the one who insisted that we descend
to the valley in a large group for the rescue, but now you don’t want us to
bring them back up when they’ve been found?
“Mackenzie, wait, let me explain!” Emmanuel knew Mackenzie had
misunderstood him and tried to explain in front of everyone. Unfortunately,
Mackenzie didn’t want to listen to him.
Seeing this, Hubert was over the moon. He even exchanged suggestive
glances with Claudette, celebrating the success of their mission.
Looks like Mackenzie’s ditching Emmanuel for good!
Claudette, however, pursed her lips and didn’t respond to him. In fact, she felt
somewhat uncomfortable.
Mackenzie happened to catch Hubert and Claudette exchanging glances
and shot an icy look at the young woman.
She hadn’t expected to find that Claudette was actually a scheming woman.
“Feel free to keep my trash, Ms. Lenoir! Good riddance!” said Mackenzie before
turning to leave.
“Don’t go!” Emmanuel grabbed her hand and exclaimed anxiously. “Please let
me explain, Ms. Quillen!”
Mackenzie tried to struggle but found herself unable to break free.
How dare you behave like this toward me in front of everyone, you jack*ss!
“Believe it or not, the person I actually wanted to save was you! Go ahead
and be mad, but please don’t humiliate anyone!” Emmanuel wasn’t a
pushover, either.
He nearly died trying to save Mackenzie, but she ended up humiliating him by
calling him a piece of trash because of Quintus‘ interference. How could
anyone accept that?
However, Mackenzie didn’t buy his story this time and snorted disdainfully. “I
can’t read minds, so I only ever judge people through their actions!”
Her words pierced through Emmanuel’s heart.
“Let go!” Mackenzie kneed Emmanuel’s abdomen mercilessly, and the
excruciating pain caused him to finally release her.
