Chapter 695
“W–What happened here?!”
When Ashton followed Sage into the room again, she was stunned. Hearing
the gunshot earlier, she thought Deon had killed Emmanuel, and even if that
were not the case, Emmanuel would still be bleeding profusely from the
wound.
However, that was not the sight that greeted her!
“Was I hearing things?” she muttered as she looked at Deon and the two

Sage, however, was looking at the bullet on the wall, deep in thought.
“Be careful of this maniac, Mr. Payne! He’s probably dangerous!” Ashton finally
recognized Emmanuel’s power, so she warned Sage of the possible danger.
Mr. Payne? When Emmanuel heard that name, he was secretly stunned as he
stood where he was. He trembled a little when he saw the 4–inch scar
However, when she was about to get her hands on Emmanuel, Sage
immediately shouted, “Stop it, Ash! You’re being impudent to him!”
What? What does he mean?! She was startled as she turned to look at Sage.
The shocked look in her eyes had a hint of indignance in them. Why would Mr.
Payne, who was usually cold and unfathomable, say I’m being impudent to a
jerk like him? He even seemed very respectful toward him!
Sage ignored her as he walked over to Emmanuel, uttering respectfully, “Mr.
Lowe, pardon me, but please tell me about the details of the case.”
Mr. Lowe? Pardon me? Please?? Ashton was starting to get a little confused.
What is going on?!
Emmanuel was cursing Sage in his mind. How could Sage talk to him like that

“Hey, Mr. Payne is talking to you!” Ashton was already pissed, so when she
saw her idol talking to Emmanuel, who purposely delayed his response, she
wanted to kick him.
“Um, well… Back then, Magnus brought Black Bear along to kill me and Ms.
Lenoir. In my attempt to protect her, I accidentally… killed Black Bear. I–I swear
I was just defending myself! As for Ms. Lenoir, Magnus threw her off the cliff!
I–I swear!” Emmanuel was stil! purposefully trembling.
“Damn, you’re still spouting nonsense!” Ashton never believed Emmanuel
anyway, so his response rendered her even more confident that he was just
playing tricks. She could barely hold back the urge to hit him.
“Oh! I see!”
