Having known Terence for over two decades, Felicity certainly knew just how shrewd he could be.
Without waiting for Laura's response, Felicity immediately said, "Laura, I will not agree to let Mackenzie be with Gautier. She is happily married to Emmanuel. Please go back and tell Mr. Gautier to give up on Mackenzie. Do not covet a married woman. It's immoral!"
"Felicity, you- Laura did not expect Felicity to say so to her face. It was outright betrayal!
"Haha, Madam Verkade, as the saying goes, it's better to let others hit your child than to let them break up your family. I hope you can also understand that,” Terence said, smiling but with a hidden warning in his eyes.
Laura's actions, interfering with the marriage he arranged, were tantamount to opposing him.
"Hmph! I'll take my leave then!" Laura left angrily, slamming the door. This outcome was something she hadn't anticipated before coming!
"Sigh, I didn't expect that with Claudette gone, Laura still harbors intentions of breaking up Emmanuel and Mackenzie. She's truly scheming!" Terence sighed softly, then glanced profoundly at Felicity before turning to leave.
Felicity's gaze, however, shifted to Marilyn behind him. She wasn't foolish; Terence wasn't at home just now, so how did he suddenly arrive at her room's doorstep? It must have been this maid who informed him. She was growing increasingly disdainful of Marilyn's presence.
That afternoon, as usual, Emmanuel drove the Maserati to wait at the entrance for his wife to finish work so they could go home together.
Suddenly, the phone rang!
Seeing that it was Sage, he immediately answered.
*Emmanuel, something big happened today. I have to tell you!"
"What is it?" Emmanuel became nervous immediately; whatever Sage wanted to say was definitely significant.
"Dustin Palmer has been killed!"
"What?" Emmanuel was genuinely surprised. "Wasn't he in the midst of a trial? How could he be killed?"
"Yeah, when he was transferred to another prison this afternoon, someone tried to assassinate him as soon as he got out of the car," Sage explained.
"Assassinate? With a sniper rifle?" Emmanuel asked.
"No. Two female martial artists, cold weapons. They stabbed Palmer several times, causing fatal injuries on the spot!"
"This-" Emmanuel found it a bit hard to believe. Although Dustin was not as skilled as him, he was still quite formidable. Who could kill him under the watch of the police?
"Both female martial artists had their faces covered, one in blue and the other in white! They took him down before my men could draw their guns. The one in white even knocked down Ashton, who rushed over later, with just one move, and Ashton got injured because of it!" Sage detailed the situation for him before finally getting to the point. "Not only that, but they also left a piece of paper on Palmer's body with words written on it!"
"What words?" Emmanuel asked curiously. His first instinct was that those words had something to do with him. Otherwise, why would Sage sound so serious?
Sure enough, the next moment, Sage spoke solemnly, “Must kill Emmanuel!”
Emmanuel couldn't help but smile wryly. If he guessed correctly, those two women must be from the Holy Fire organization.
They killed Dustin perhaps because they were afraid he would reveal some secrets and criminal activities of the Holy Fire organization during police interrogation. It wasn't uncommon for organizations to eliminate liabilities. But what deep hatred did they have with him that they intentionally left these ovocative words?
"Emmanuel, the Holy Fire organizat is entering Yeringham on a large scale, and their target is you. You have to be on guard!" Sage believed in Emmanuel's strength, but the Holy Fire organization was not to be underestimated. He reminded him, as caution was the rule the Wolf Warrior.

Emmanuel also knew that the Holy Fire organization and Magnus would undoubtedly make significant moves with the successful trial of the new Terence Group product. It was indeed necessary to be cautious.
Coincidentally, Mackenzie emerged from the company building.
Emmanuel immediately said, "Sage, I can't talk in detail right now. If you're free tonight, let's meet up and discuss."
"Exactly what I had in mind! How about The Beacon Book? Tonight, eight.”
"Sounds good!"
After confirming the time and place, Emmanuel hung up the phone.
Mackenzie happened to approach the car and asked, "Was that Roselynn on the phone? Has your cousin's marital house been arranged?"
