Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 699

Chapter 699

Ashton had been eavesdropping at the door. Even though the small room

was soundproof, she could still hear Sage’s laughs coming from the room

time and again. Who exactly is Emmanuel? She had been with Sage for three

years but never heard him laugh this many times!

Creak…

When she heard noises coming from the metal door, she hastily ran away in

case she got found out.

“Ashton, I’ve recorded Emmanuel’s confession. Send him home for me.”

“What? I have to send him home?” She could not believe what she was

hearing. Sage not only wanted to let Emmanuel off the hook, but he also

wanted her to send him home!

“Why? Is there a problem? Weren’t you the one who brought him here in the

first place?” Sage frowned.

She immediately saluted. “Yes, sir!” Her respect for Sage for the past three

years was already second nature, not to mention now when she worked

under him.

“Goodbye, then.” Sage waved at Emmanuel.

Before leaving earlier, Emmanuel told Sage he should not refer to him as ‘Mr.

Lowe‘ when others were around. Although Emmanuel did not tell him about

the mission he shouldered, they had gone through hell together, so when he

requested that, Sage immediately understood.

After making the necessary drrangements, Sage hastily went to the

reception room. He received a report from his subordinate that the young

lady of the Quillen family had arrived at the police station to see him.

After he retired from the military in the Northern Region, Sage was

immediately assigned the position of grade two inspector because of his

amazing experience. In just 6 months, he solved many huge cases, hence

being promoted to grade one inspector.

He was initially stationed in another city and was once again nominated to

the position of General. However, when he heard that Casper died in

Yeringham, he took the initiative to apply for a transfer here. That was how he

retained his original grade.

After working in many cities, he also learned some lessons about being an

officer. He had to abide by the law, but at the same time, he had to be

compassionate as well. Otherwise, no matter how capable he was, he would

gradually come to a dead end.

When he first came here, he already knew that the Quillens were the greatest

family in Yeringham, so he was surprised to learn that the young lady of that

family would personally visit him so soon.

t

When he arrived at the reception room and saw the charming women there,

he was slightly stunned. As a grade one inspector, he was considered one of

the higher–ups, so for the past three years, he had been to several

gatherings of the upper classes. Hence, he had met many so–called

super–wealthy young ladies.

However, even those famous young ladies were no match for Ms. Quillen,

who was right in front of him. Her beauty was overwhelming, and the single

Sage was immediately drawn to her.

“Hello, Captain Payne.” Lexi immediately stood up and introduced to him, “This

is the CEO of Terence Group, Ms. Mackenzie Quillen.”

Mackenzie also stood up politely as she gave him a slight nod, doing

everything for Emmanuel! Otherwise, she would never take the initiative like

this.

“Hello, Ms. Quillen. I’m Sage Payne.” He smiled as he walked over to her, then

reached out a hand. “What brings you here, Ms. Quillen?”

That was his first time asking a woman for a handshake of his own accord.

He had been single for the past 30 years, but at that moment, he could hear

every single heartbeat of his. Oh no! Am I having a crush? Did I fall for Ms.

Quillen at first sight?

“Captain Payne, I’m here to ask about the progress made on the murder case

of the Lenoirs.” Mackenzie lightly shook his hand as she directly explained her

reason for the visit. After marrying Emmanuel, her misandry seemed to be

cured without her noticing it.

“Oh, I see. I’ll deal with the case righteously and replace the real culprit who

murdered Ms. Lenoir, so rest assured, Ms. Quillen.” With that, Sage asked

subconsciously, “Are you a good friend of Ms. Lenoir’s, Ms. Quillen?”

He knew about Claudette’s identity, so he thought that the young ladies from

the two great families were best friends, and that was why Mackenzie had

hurried over to ask about the case and even tried to pressure him into

convicting Emmanuel.

Even so, he would never do that.

“Something like that.” Mackenzie smiled lightly.
