“If you’re so concerned, there’s no need for a conversation!” Emmanuel said with amusement, “I’ve never seen such an influential woman before. So, I’m afraid I won’t be able to engage in a meaningful discussion with her.”
Hattie remained unmoved by his sarcastic comment.
However, Dominique immediately responded, “Mr. Lowe, if you were a vulnerable woman who has experienced an average of 303 attacks by men, 27 kidnappings, and 19 assassination attempts in a year, I believe you wouldn’t make such remarks!”
Uh.
Emmanuel paused for a moment and shrugged nonchalantly. “Well, forgive me for my ignorance. I spoke without thinking.”
He didn’t possess the same level of beauty as Hattie, nor was he a woman. So, how could he empathize with her life experiences?
Then again, it was easy to understand that delicate flowers were easily broken.
“Emmanuel, this way, please,” Hattie said as she walked past him. Her gaze was cold but not intimidating.
As she walked by, he caught a whiff of a refreshing fragrance. It was different from Mackenzie’s scent but equally delightful.
Emmanuel followed her and Dominique into a luxurious suite.
Hattie sat down elegantly, her feet slightly crossed as she naturally rested her hands on her thighs. Her posture was flawless. She presented a picturesque image that could easily evoke a line of poetry, “When calm, she is like a delicate flower reflecting in the water. When in motion, she is like a graceful willow swaying in the wind.”
Emmanuel finally made the connection between her and Magnus when he saw her like this.
They truly came from a prestigious background and had the same upbringing!
Dominique stood behind her like a stunning sentinel.
“Ms. Zelinsky, why don’t you get straight to the point? What exactly do you want to discuss?”
Emmanuel did not bother sitting down. He was unlike the men outside the hotel, who were all lusting after her. He genuinely didn’t have any special feelings towards beautiful women-except for Mackenzie, of course!
Dominique felt increasingly ated in the face of his disrespect towards Hattie.
Not only was she one of the Four Beauties of Zovince, but she was also a goddess with a net worth of several tens of billions. How could he not grovel at her feet and fulfill her every whim? Why wasn’t he showing her any respect? How dare he use such an arrogant attitude towards Ms. Zelinsky?
“Emmanuel, I have a favor to ask of you,” Hattie spoke, completely contradicting her lofty image.
It seemed she hadn’t discussed this with her assistant because Dominique was slightly startled by her tone. The shock on her face marred her perfect statue-like appearance!

“Oh, how interesting. All of this coming from the esteemed heiress of the Zelinsky family, a woman who is admired by thousands. What business do you have to ask of a leisurely person like me?” Emmanuel smirked.
He had no favorable impression of Hattie solely because of her brother. Otherwise, even if he wouldn’t grovel like other men, he wouldn’t be treating her with such hostility.
“I’m asking you to spare my brother and let go of the past grievances between you.”
“What?!”
As soon as Hattie spoke, Dominique jerked her head to look at Hattie with wide eyes. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
In her mind, Mr. Magnus, like Ms. Hattie, was a god-like figure. He was wealthy, intelligent, and surrounded by talented individuals. Who could possibly rival someone as amazing as Magnus?
Yet, Ms. Hattie was actually pleading on behalf of Magnus?
Emmanuel was also quite surprised by this turn of events. He had never expected Hattie to come all the way to Yeringham, only to plead for her brother!
Nevertheless, Emmanuel firmly refused, stating solemnly, “It’s impossible!”
Hattie had anticipated this. So, she wasn’t angry. In fact, she even proposed an irresistible condition. that no man in the world could resist, saying, “As long as you are willing to let go of the past with my brother and spare his life… I am willing to agree to any one condition you have!”
“Miss! A-Are you crazy?”
Dominique was overcome with emotion. Due to her close relationship with Hattie, she couldn’t help but blurt, “Do you really need to plead with this man? Mr. Magnus could easily make him disappear from this world!”
“No, Dominique. You don’t understand,” Hattie coldly interrupted her. Then, she didn’t bother explaining herself as she simply stared at Emmanuel with her beautiful eyes.
“I’m sorry, but there’s no way I can agree to that!’
Emmanuel could acknowledge her sincerity and the deep affection between the Zelinsky siblings. Unfortunately, he had to refuse, as he elaborated, “Magnus killed Claudette and caused the deaths of so many people! I’ll never let him off the hook!”
Hattie remained silent as she silently observed Emmanuel, studying his gaze.
After a while, she sighed softly, releasing a fragrant breath as she did so. “Emmanuel, I understand. Still, please remember my proposition today. Whenever you’re willing to spare my brother’s life, I am more than willing to agree to any one condition
any/one you have!”
