Chapter 759
“Come on! Hurry up! We need to do this together!”
Dozens of amusement park attendants tried to lift the Ferris wheel, but the
heavy structure just wouldn’t budge.

It was too early to tell whether Hubert was lucky or not. His head was trapped
under the iron railing of the cabin. The whole structure didn’t collapse on him.
Otherwise, the Ferris wheel would’ve crushed his head instantly instead of
only disfiguring him.
To remove the railing, they either needed to cut it with an electric saw or lift
the entire Ferris wheel.
However, Hubert would be a goner by the time they got an electric saw.
Emmanuel finally walked over to the crowd. He joined them with a yell when
everyone tried to lift the Ferris wheel again.
The crowd was about to witness a miracle.
The Ferris wheel actually budged this time.
Rhea covered her mouth in astonishment while Tia had a surprised look on
her face.

Even Roselynn watched Emmanuel with her mouth agape. Since when did he have such incredible strength?
“No... No... Don’t you dare save me... I don’t want to be in debt to you...” Hubert,
barely alive, protested between consciousness and unconsciousness.
The Ferris wheel crashed to the ground again once they dragged Hubert out
from the debris. It was only then that Emmanuel released his grip on the
Ferris wheel. The crashing was deafening.
Hubert, the second son of the Verkade family, finally passed out once he was
safe. He ended up having sunken cheeks and a bloodied face, which was a
total miserable mess.
The next moment, the sound of the blaring sirens pierced the air.
Ashton and her subordinates swiftly arrived at the scene.
We received a report about a major accident that occurred here. Everyone’s cooperation with the investigation will be required.”
She shouted at the crowd, discovering that Emmanuel was among them
again. A hint of anger immediately flashed in her eyes.
“Did you follow me everywhere I go? Just how much trouble have you
caused? Sooner or later, I’ll bring you to justice!”
Her accusation shocked Emmanuel.
“Are you out of your mind, Miss Ashton? Will you please think before you
speak? Mind your words, or else we’ll sue you!” Roselynn jumped to
Emmanuel’s defense by confronting Ashton.
She had talked to Emmanuel before, so she knew that Ashton had been
making things difficult for him and even physically assaulted him when the
two were alone in a small room.
Even though Roselynn was the one targeting Ashton, Ashton ignored her.
Instead, Ashton turned to Emmanuel and mocked, “I underestimated you,
Emmanuel. You’ve got some guts!”
She had always believed that Emmanuel was a scumbag because she
always found a new face beside him. And they’re always more beautiful than
the previous one!
She shot him a warning with a glare. Don’t let me catch you causing any
trouble again, or I’ll make you suffer!
“Let’s get this straight, Miss Ashton. We are the victims here. I suspect
someone tampered with the Ferris wheel to kill us!” Emmanuel told her the
truth.
However, Ashton sneered. “You’re a delusional paranoid. Did you just tell me
someone tampered with the Ferris wheel just to kill a certain person, which is
you? Are you implying that someone plotted against your life? You, of all
people? I don’t think you’re worth it.”
Emmanuel replied thoughtfully, “That’s right. I suspect Hubert has something
to do with it. He just attacked me with an air gun earlier. Knowing him, he isn’t’
smart enough to plot this. It’s possible that Magnus or Gautier instigated him
to do so.”
Ashton was taken aback momentarily before she forced a laugh out of her.
Emmanuel and the others watched her laugh.
Her mock came afterward. “Don’t you think maybe you’re just being
paranoid? It happens to those who have an inflated ego. Wake up. You aren’t
worth their time.”
Who does he think he is? What makes him think he is worth Magnus and Mr.
Gautier’s attention?
“How about saying it to my face?” Just as the words left Ashton, an angry
voice called her out.
“C-Captain Payne?!” She turned around in surprise, wondering why Sage
would arrive at this place.
After all, someone of his rank shouldn’t need to handle such a case.
“Go investigate the scene. Stop wasting your time talking nonsense! This
56
5/6
case is a planned murder.” The moment Sage spoke, he jumped to
conclusions.
Even though he hadn’t listened to the whole story, he sided with Emmanuel
unconditionally. After all, they were comrades.
