Chapter 653
The lingering sweetness within Emmanuel gradually faded away after he
hung up the phone.
There were two pressing matters at hand. First, he had to help his dear wife
resolve the crisis. Second, he had to quickly rescue Claudette from the Lenoir
residence, or Magnus might destroy her at any moment.
After reaching out to Eve, she swiftly responded. ‘We’re ready to move out
whenever you are!‘
With that, Emmanuel put his phone down and prepared to sneak out of the
house, but unexpectedly, he received a text from Laura just as he was about
to leave. ‘Come quick!‘
Coincidence much?
Initially, Emmanuel already decided to take action instead of waiting until
Laura gave him the okay. After all, he had also received news from Quintus,
saying the two–faced Magnus broke three of Claudette’s fingers to see if she
would wake up.

move out. This meant that it was the perfect time.
Very quickly, Emmanuel arrived at the Lenoir residence alone.
“Who goes there?” The guard raised his hand to stop him.
“Emmanuel Lowe, here to visit Claudette for medical purposes,” Emmanuel
explained his purpose directly.
“Please wait while I inform Madam.”
It was getting late, so the guard needed the Lenoir family’s permission to
allow Emmanuel inside.
Emmanuel was puzzled. Seems like General Lenoir isn’t home again. What is
the situation in the Lenoir family right now?
Before long, Laura personally came to greet Emmanuel, accompanied by
several servants. “You’ve arrived, Dr. Lowe. Please, come in!”
Emmanuel became even more baffled, for the people around Laura were all
unfamiliar faces. At least, he had never seen them every time he came to
Lenoir residence. Still, he remained calm and followed Laura into the house.
“You deserve a big cash envelope from me, Dr. Lowe, for coming to treat my
daughter during the holidays.” Laura suddenly approached Emmanuel
enthusiastically, flirting with him as she handed him a handsome cash
envelope.
“Thank you,” said Emmanuel as he accepted the envelope. But he couldn’t
figure out what Laura was up to.
“Hehe, your hand is so warm, Dr. Lowe. And your fingers… They’re so long. I love
them so much!” Laura continued to flirt with Emmanuel, making him
uncomfortable with all the teasing.
“Sorry, Mrs. Lenoir, I need to use the restroom first!” Emmanuel quickly
excused himself to the restroom, avoiding her advances.
“Aw, so bashful.” Laura remained bold as ever.
As Emmanuel entered the restroom, he discovered that two men were
following him, and instantly he knew he was being monitored.
Things are really strange here.
“I need to use the toilet. Are you two going to follow me in as well?” Emmanuel
turned around, coldly addressing the two bodyguards.
With that, the two bodyguards turned around and stood in position.

Emmanuel frowned and entered the restroom, locking the door behind him.
With his reconnaissance abilities as a Wolf Warrior, he quickly confirmed that
there were no surveillance devices inside.
Only then did he discreetly open Laura’s cash envelope and, indeed, found a
note inside.
‘Adolph has suddenly been transferred, and Lenoir residence’s security
system is now under Deputy General Reginald Hawthorne’s full control. He is
a spy planted by the Zelinsky family in the Lenoir family. Everyone’s every
move within the Lenoir residence, including the electronic systems, is under
his surveillance.’
At this point, Emmanuel finally realized why Laura would provide him with
information the way she did.
He wondered, however, how she managed to evade Reginald’s electronic
surveillance when she sent that brief message.
As for General Lenoir’s sudden transfer, was it also the work of the Zelinsky
family?
There were a series of mysteries Emmanuel couldn’t figure out for the time
being, nor did he have time to investigate further either. His purpose in
coming to the Lenoir residence that night was solely to rescue Claudette.
