Chapter 751
“No, Rhea. You’re the beautiful one!”
Tia blushed and responded.
She really thought that Rhea was Emmanuel’s girlfriend, so she thought that
Emmanuel liked this style of dressing.
Little did she know that Rhea actually thought that women looked more
feminine in dresses. Emmanuel must have preferred looking at Tia that day,
did he?
After all, her attire was more in line with a man’s aesthetic.
Emmanuel, however, was unaware of the thoughts of the two women. He
watched them chat and accompanied them while also signaling Ryder with
his eyes.
Unfortunately, Ryder was still too insecure and didn’t dare to strike up a
conversation.
270
Just as the four of them were about to enter, a familiar voice suddenly came
from the side!
“Manny, Ryder, you’re here too?”
After following the voice, they saw that it was Roselynn and Jaxton who had
also arrived.
“Roselynn, why are you here too?”
Emmanuel took advantage of Jaxton parking his car and being short-legged.
Jaxton hadn’t come up yet, so he leaned close to Roselynn’s ear and
whispered, “Have you made up with him?”
Roselynn sighed and whispered back, “Just pretend for now. After all, I’m not
going home to sleep with him!”
Emmanuel sympathized with her. Her situation was even worse than his own
back then.
Their mother didn’t allow her to divorce, but staying together without any
feelings was also not an option.
That was why they said one couldn’t make a wrong move in marriage. It was
better to be single than to settle for less. Otherwise, it would be really hard to
end it!
“Hello, everyone!”
Jaxton walked over at this moment and only greeted Rhea and Tia with a
smile.
He completely ignored Roselynn’s relatives.
Roselynn noticed this small detail again. She had originally wanted to give
Jaxton a chance to perform well today and then convince herself to accept
him.
However, that possibility seemed unlikely now!
“Hello. Who is this?” Rhea looked at Roselynn and asked.
Both she and Tia guessed that this might be Roselynn’s man, but why didn’t
they seem compatible?
Their heights didn’t match!
Roselynn didn’t introduce him, mainly because she didn’t want to admit that
this man was her husband.
Jaxton, on the other hand, smiled and said, “I’m Jaxton Oatley. Roselynn’s
man.”
He also didn’t mention that he was her husband, as most men didn’t want to
admit they were married in front of beautiful women. Otherwise, it would
greatly affect their chances with the opposite S**.
Roselynn let out a cold sigh again. It was simply impossible for her to
reconcile with this man!
“Oh. Hello!”
Rhea could also tell that Emmanuel’s family seemed to need a better
relationship with Jaxton. After a casual greeting, she couldn’t be bothered to
continue being polite to him.
Tia was the same. She didn’t have a good impression of Jaxton and said
directly, “Let’s go inside!”
5/6
“Let’s go!”
Emmanuel led the way into the venue, with Rhea walking beside him.
Jaxton wanted to take Roselynn’s hand, but she calmly freed herself from his
grasp.
no
Roselynn ran directly to Emmanuel’s other side and chatted with Rhea. After
all, she also wanted to know why Emmanuel would come out to play with this
woman. Wasn’t he afraid of being scolded by Mackenzie later?
Jaxton looked very awkward and didn’t dare to strike up a conversation with
Tia. He could only follow them reluctantly.
As for Ryder, even though it was a great opportunity, his heart was pounding,
and he couldn’t bring himself to strike up a conversation with Tia.
“Ms. Franks, let’s go together!”
In the end, Tommy spoke up in place of his father.
“Sure, Tommy!”
Tia still treated him like a student as she held his hand and entered the
venue.
With her son paving the way; Ryder followed behind Tia and Tommy like a
stone.
Ah! I really don’t deserve to have a wife!
Ryder sighed in his heart. If it weren’t for getting drunk and sleeping with
Abellyn, he probably wouldn’t have been able to marry a wife until now.
After all six of them entered, the atmosphere was not lively.
Chapter 752
Most of the games in this amusement park were suitable for adventurous
young people, such as the Ferris wheel and roller coasters.
Rhea was only 23 years old, so she liked them, but the others were all around
thirty years old, so they could have been more enthusiastic.
In other words, everyone came here today for a purpose, not just to play.
Each person had their own thoughts.
“How about we grab some snacks first?
As the organizer, Rhea took the initiative to suggest.
“Sure. I’ll go buy them.”
Unexpectedly, it was Ryder who volunteered this time. “What snacks do you
all like?”
He wasn’t deliberately trying to impress Tia.
Emmanuel and Roselynn both knew that Ryder was always proactive when it
came to doing work or spending money.
On the other hand, Jaxton had no awareness of this at all!
It wasn’t until Ryder asked for everyone’s preferences that Jaxton offered to
buy hot dogs and milk tea for Roselynn. Roselynn, do you want hot dogs and
drinks? I’ll get them for you!”
“No need. Ryder will get them,” Roselynn replied indifferently.
Jaxton felt quite embarra*sed and had a lot of grievances in his heart.
When he pursued Roselynn before, he didn’t have such a humble attitude.
Upon thinking about being suppressed by his wife in the future, he was also
hesitant about whether to continue this marriage.
Unfortunately, despite his grievances, he still desired Roselynn’s body, and he
needed to climb up through this marriage, so he could only endure it!
While he was lost in thought, Ryder had already walked up to the food stall
and ordered various snacks for everyone.
However, when it came to the price, he was stunned!
“Thank you. It’s a total of 32!”
“Why… Why is it so expensive?”
Ryder panicked instinctively. It was his first time coming to an amusement
park, and he had yet to learn about the prices inside, which turned out to be
several times higher than outside!
A few snacks cost over 30!
“That’s the price. Do you want it or not?”
The stall owner became a little impatient.
“Haha. Let me pay!”
Jaxton saw an opportunity and walked over to pay.
“Ah. There’s no need!
Ryder beat him to it and gritted his teeth as he paid for it.
Jaxton clicked his tongue and thought that poor people were just trying to
save their reputations and suffering, but it was also good. He managed to
save 30!
Ryder came back with the food, and everyone had their share except for him,
who hesitated to buy one for himself.
Upon seeing Ryder gulp, Jaxton couldn’t help but laugh.
Roselynn also noticed Jaxton’s subtle expression and thought that he was
not a good person!
“Ryder, take mine! I’m on a diet!”
Roselynn handed her drink and hot dog to Ryder.
Jaxton was shocked, but he quickly handed his portion to Roselynn this time.
“Roselynn, take mine then!”
Everyone’s gaze was on the three of them.
Roselynn rolled her eyes and directly retracted her hand. “Give yours to Ryder,
then. I suddenly don’t feel like dieting anymore.”
Jaxton twitched his lips but still forced a smile as he handed his portion to
Ryder.
“Ah… It’s okay! You guys can eat!”
Ryder waved his hand honestly.
Jaxton already looked down on these lower-cla*s people and couldn’t be
bothered to continue being polite. If Ryder didn’t want it, Ryder could forget it
then.
“Mr. Lowe, if you don’t mind, I’ll split mine with you!”
Tia was finally unable to bear it as she took the initiative and said, “I’m also on
a diet lately-”
“Ah! This-”
Ryder was stunned for a moment as he tried to suppress his inner
excitement, but he couldn’t help but burst into a silly smile!
D
Chapter 753
“Ryder, what are you still standing there for?”
Roselynn couldn’t bear to watch anymore since Ryder was in his thirties, but
he still acted like a high school student in love. How could he be so shy in
front of the girl he liked? And why was Emmanuel reacting slowly and didn’t
remind Ryder?
”
10
Roselynn was glad that she had come. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to
seize it even if Tia gave Ryder a chance. She quickly bumped into him with
her shoulder, and Ryder stumbled over to Tia’s side.
Tia also blushed and lowered her head slightly, knowing Emmanuel’s family
wanted her to marry Ryder and become part of the Lowe family.
She suddenly felt that this was not bad. At least Emmanuel wants me to be
his family!
“Well… Thank you!” He was even shyer than her since it was his first time
sharing snacks with a woman in over thirty years.
He had never done this before, even when married to Abellyn.
Now he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest!
Although he looked like a rough man, his hands and feet were agile, and he
quickly and skillfully split the hot dog in half and ate it with his hands.
Tia took a few sips of her milk tea and handed it to him. “Here, you can have
- I don’t want it!”
“Ah? T-This!” His dark face turned as red as burning charcoal. Is this
equivalent to an indirect kiss? Is Tia not bothered by it?
“Ryder, hurry up and take it!” Roselynn bumped Ryder again.
Jaxton, who was watching, felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it!
In his eyes, Ryder was a poor, ugly, and short man. How did he become the
male lead in this six-person date?
1
What was even more hateful was that his wife, Rhea, who he tried so hard to
please, was indifferent to him, but she was so enthusiastic and concerned
about this poor, ugly, and short man. It was simply unreasonable!
He also quietly bumped into Emmanuel and desperately gestured with her
big eyes.
Emmanuel understood as well. After all, Rhea had done her homework before
they came on how to matchmake Ryder and Tia.
“Everyone, I heard that the most famous attraction in this amusement park is
the Ferris wheel Happiness. It is said that if a man and a woman ride
together, they will be blessed with happiness!”
Emmanuel suggested that it had to be him. Otherwise, Tia might not be
curious or believe it, even if Rhea had suggested it.
“Haha, let’s go and have fun then!” Jaxton also agreed with this proposal. Girls
tend to be afraid of this kind of game, so when the time comes, I sit with
Roselynn and spin in the air. Once my wife gets scared, I can hold her and
repair our relationship, right?
Roselynn couldn’t be bothered to look at him since he had initially wanted to
say that she didn’t want to play, but she was afraid that it would affect the
group activity and cause Tia not to participate. Then, this six-person date
would be meaningless.
“Tia, let’s play together!” Rhea also walked over and held her hand.
Although they had only met for the second time, they tended to become
best friends because of their compatible personalities!
W
“Well, okay!” She didn’t hesitate, even though she knew the purpose of this
activity. The feeling of everyone surrounding her made her feel like a beloved
group member, and she was delighted! Especially one of them, who was her
prince charming!
“Well… Then, I’ll go buy the tickets!” He suggested again.
It wasn’t because he knew how to pick up girls and win women’s favor but
because of his honest personality. He was always the most proactive when
spending money and doing work.
Jaxton was a step behind again and quickly said, “Let me do it since these
tickets are not cheap, and it will cost at least a few hundred dollars for so
many people to play!”
“Uh… Well…”

Chapter 754
Ryder felt guilty since a few hundred bucks was not small for him.
“Tommy’s dad, just let him go and buy it. Unexpectedly, it was Tia who spoke
up at this moment as she knew that he wasn’t a wealthy person and wanted
to save him some money.
Both Rhea and Roselynn chuckled in their hearts. When a woman wanted to
save money for another man, she no longer saw him as a stranger.
“Well, alright then.” Ryder decided not to buy the tickets.
Jaxton returned with the tickets and distributed them to everyone, but he just
received a thank you from Rhea and Tia. It was a good use of money,
although it differed from what he expected.
On the other side, ten minutes ago.
In the control room of the amusement park, the site manager had been
staring at the screen.
Suddenly, a man dressed unusually walked in, and two followers were behind
him.
The site manager and the two video surveillance officers immediately stood
up and greeted the man, “Mr. Verkade!”
“Well, have you arranged everything as instructed?” Mr. Verkade was indeed
Hubert, and he asked with a wicked smile.
“Mr. Verkade, we have already stopped selling tickets for the Ferris wheel
project as you ordered!”
After the site manager answered, he leaned closer to Hubert and whispered,
“The equipment has been inspected in advance. As long as the switch is
pressed here…”
The site manager didn’t finish his sentence.
The wicked smile on Hubert’s face became more and more evil, and his eyes
burst with flames of hatred. He laughed and said, “Good! You’ve done well!
After this is done, I will propose to Gautier to double your bonus!”
“T-Thank you, Mr. Verkade!” The site manager thanked him excitedly.
The Verkade family was a significant shareholder of this amusement park. He
would make a fortune this year with Mr. Verkade’s words!
As for why Mr. Verkade did this, he didn’t ask or care. Anyway, with the
Verkade family backing him up in case of any trouble, he would pretend to
know nothing.
“Emmanuel, you b*stard! You made me lose my backdoor. Today, I will see
how you die!” Hubert gritted his teeth and clenched his fists like a hellish dog.
At this moment, his phone rang, and it was Gautier calling. “Hey, Hubert, did
you personally go to the amusement park?”
His tone was slightly dissatisfied as he felt that his younger brother couldn’t
handle significant matters.
“Gautier, I must see Emmanuel die! This time, with the help of Mr. Magnus, he
will meet a tragic end!” Hatred burned in Hubert’s eyes, and he even spat a
little.
Gautier didn’t waste any more words and gave him a final piece of advice.
“You should leave quickly and not stay at the scene. Please let others handle
this kind of thing.”
Yet, Hubert didn’t listen and chose to hang up the phone, and he event
wanted to go to the Ferris wheel in person.
He hated Emmanuel to the bone and couldn’t find peace until he saw him die
with his own eyes!
On the other side, Emmanuel and the others had already entered the waiting
room of the Ferris wheel, but they found that there were few people around
today.
“What’s going on? Why are there so few tourists today?” Tia curiously asked.
Emmanuel also found it strange, but it was normal for the number of people
at an amusement park to fluctuate, right?
It was the first weekend after the holiday, and maybe everyone didn’t have
the mood or the free time to come to a place like this.
What was even more unexpected was that only seven people were playing
when it was their turn, and no new players were joining behind them!

Chapter 755
“Why are there so few people playing? Aren’t there still many seats
available?” Emmanuel couldn’t help but ask the staff.
“We arrange it based on ticket purchases and will still operate even if there
are no more visitors. You can continue waiting if you don’t want to play.” The
staff replied politely.
“What are we waiting for? Having fewer people is better, as this is our
exclusive happiness!” Jaxton said without caution while leading the way to
the Ferris wheel seats.
With his status, he didn’t want to play with a group of commoners as he
wouldn’t even feel comfortable sharing the photos on Moments.
But now, he could show off as the seven had booked the entire Ferris wheel,
and he was paying for it.
“Tia, do you want to play now?” Rhea also asked Tia, as she was the
protagonist today.
“Let’s play since no more people are waiting. It doesn’t matter anyway!” Tia,
unlike Emmanuel, was a simple ordinary woman.
“Then, let’s go!” Rhea took the initiative to help Ryder and Rhea fasten their
seat belts.
Soon, Roselynn also took her seat.
As for Emmanuel and Rhea, they finally sat on a three-person seat with
Tommy as he didn’t want to disturb Ryder and Tia.
Of course, Tommy requested this since he was young but quite clever.
Even though he had said before that his dad couldn’t compare to Tia in every
aspect, he still wanted to try it, right? There was a saying that went along the
lines of “sometimes one would never know what despair was until one tried
their best!”
He didn’t want his dad to have any regrets, even if it meant making him
despair.
“Mr. Lowe, what’s wrong?” The ride had just started moving slowly, and Tia
noticed that Ryder was trembling slightly and gripping the handle tightly.
“Well… I’m a little afraid of heights!” He felt a bit embarra*sed to admit it.
As soon as he said that, Jaxton behind him couldn’t help but mock him.
“Haha, you’re a grown man, yet you’re afraid of heights? You have such a
strong body for nothing. How are you going to protect women?”
Ryder also felt ashamed, but what could he do about his fear of heights?
814
“Roselynn, are you also afraid of heights?” Jaxton suddenly looked at her as if
he wanted to say something like “I’ll protect you,” but he found her glaring at
him coldly, as she was unhappy with his mockery of her cousin.
He suddenly shivered since he wasn’t stupid, and he knew that today’s
six-person date was mainly to help Ryder pursue Tia, but his character
naturally showed as it was just like that.
“Mr. Lowe, don’t be afraid! We have seat belts and safety measures, so
nothing will happen. Be brave!” Tia comforted Ryder proactively and even
gently patted his black hand with her tiny hand.
There is a clear distinction here.
Ryder suddenly felt a surge of strength. He nodded, and his trembling wasn’t
as severe anymore.
Boom. Boom.
The Ferris wheel slowly started to rotate
The surrounding scenery was breathtaking as sometimes, they could see a
sea of flowers, magnificent buildings, and other lively scenes in the
amusement park, like the equally thrilling water park.
Everyone exclaimed, “This Ferris wheel is fascinating and fun!”
Rhea and Tommy were no exception, but only Emmanuel felt something was
off!
As a member of the Wolf Warrior Unit, he was more sensitive to the unusual
sounds of machinery than ordinary people. Why did this sound seem

There is a clear distinction here.
Ryder suddenly felt a surge of strength. He nodded, and his trembling wasn’t
as severe anymore.

The Ferris wheel slowly started to rotate.

Everyone exclaimed, “This Ferris wheel is fascinating and fun!”
Rhea and Tommy were no exception, but only Emmanuel felt something was
off!
As a member of the Wolf Warrior Unit, he was more sensitive to the unusual
sounds of machinery than ordinary people. Why did this sound seem
dangerous? And why were they the only seven people on this Ferris wheel
since many visitors were still in the amusement park? Something was wrong,
and that feeling was getting stronger!
Click. Click. The sound of the Ferris wheel’s axle became more and more
abnormal.
Tia marveled at the beautiful scenery around her while Ryder was also
immersed in dreamlike happiness as he tried to overcome his fear of heights.
Chapter 756
Roselynn also thought this was a pretty nice game. Jaxton wanted to hold his
wife’s hand secretly, but he was mercilessly pushed away.
Emmanuel glanced around with sharp eyes and suddenly opened the safety
buckle before excitedly standing up and shouting, “Oh no, we must jump in
the direction of the water park as soon as possible!”
As soon as he spoke, everyone was confused.
What’s going on?
He didn’t have time to explain and merely shouted loudly, “This Ferris wheel is
going to collapse! If we don’t jump into somewhere with water before then,
our lives will be in danger!”
After looking toward where his finger pointed, everyone also heard the
abnormal metallic sound, which was terrifying.
“When we reach the highest point of the Ferris wheel on the next turn, we will
4
jump towards the water park!” He was also very nervous and anxious since
he felt the Ferris wheel could collapse at any moment and might not make it
through a few more turns.
“But…” The other six instantly turned pale. The Ferris wheel was separated
from the water park by a road and was several meters away. How could they
jump over there?
+
“Ryder, you and Tia go first. You must be fast!” Emmanuel shouted frantically.
If they didn’t jump soon, the wheel would fall, and everyone would be done
for.
“Mr. Lowe, this…” Tia was still at a loss for what to do.
Unexpectedly, Ryder, who had acrophobia, gritted his teeth suddenly,
unclasped the safety buckles for the two of them, and without saying a word,
carried her.
Her heart was pounding.
Can they really make it?
“Ahhh!”
Ryder, a country boy who had done heavy work since childhood, had great
strength. Besides, he was single-minded and only thought of saving Tia, so
he didn’t even pay attention to Tommy but instead jumped toward the water
pool in the water park while holding her
Splash!!
They landed in the pool safely, causing an impact as powerful as a depth
charge. It was clear how significant it was. If there hadn’t been a large
volume of water cushioning them, they would have definitely died from such
a fall.
“Oh!” The commotion scared everyone, and Tommy clapped excitedly. His
dad looked so cool right now!
“Ryder, well done!” Roselynn also suddenly clenched her fist due to her
excitement for her cousin. One’s true colors were revealed in tough situations,
after all!
On the other hand, Jaxton, who was next to her and had just mocked Ryder
for being timid, was now sitting there trembling. Jaxton had seen Ryder and
Tia’s successful landing, but he had missed the highest point and didn’t even
dare to release the safety buckle due to his hesitation.
Click, click, click.
The noise from the Ferris wheel became louder and louder, and there were
even sparks at the axle.
“Look, something’s wrong with the Ferris wheel!”
“Ahh! Run for your life!” The tourists near the Ferris wheel slowly noticed this
and panicked, running away while protecting their heads. The employee
responsible for controlling the Ferris wheel had already noticed the situation
and wanted to shut it down with the emergency switch but found that it was
malfunctioning.
“I’m done for…” The employee became scared and quickly ran away too,
fearing that the Ferris wheel would fall and crush him.
“This is our last chance. Everyone, stand up!” Emmanuel knew that this might
be the last turn the Ferris wheel could make. If they didn’t jump when it
reached the highest point, their chances of survival would be slim when the
Ferris wheel collapsed!
Rhea and Tommy stood up, followed by Roselynn.
“Jump!” Emmanuel shouted the order. He would push them from behind.
when they jumped, but they had to muster the courage to do it first!
Chapter 757
“Ahhhh!”
Rhea and Tommy didn’t know Emmanuel’s plan, but they somehow believed
him and leaped into the air when they heard him say ‘Jump’. Emmanuel gave
them a push on their waists and they felt as if they had been equipped with
boosters, flying directly toward the pool
Splash!
Splash!
Both of them landed safely in the water, creating two ripples.
The people at the water park clapped excitedly after witnessing this. It was so
thrilling, feeling like they were watching a special effects movie. It was
unbelievable!
“Roselynn!” shouted Emmanuel again.
“Here I come!” Roselynn announced loudly before leaping into the air.
He took a big step and lightly pushed her waist, and his sister performed a
breathtaking dive, shouting in excitement as she fell into the pool. Applause
filled the surroundings as everyone was captivated by the thrilling reality
show.
“D*mn it!” Hubert couldn’t help but curse through gritted teeth when he saw
this from beneath the Ferris wheel. Although his goal was only to kill
Emmanuel and the lives of the others were entirely irrelevant, seeing
Emmanuel shine at this critical moment made him feel extremely
uncomfortable.
“Bring me the air gun!” Hubert ordered his subordinate while stretching out
his hand.
“Sir!”
The follower was surprised. The Verkade family could deal with accidental
deaths, but a direct hit would undoubtedly leave evidence. The Verkade
family wouldn’t be able to protect Hubert!
“Bring it over!” Hubert’s facial features twisted in anger as he roared. His
subordinate had no choice but to run into a studio and quickly bring him an
air gun used for riot control in the amusement park.
Hubert picked up the gun and ran in the direction of the Ferris wheel.
“Sir, it’s too dangerous!” shouted his two subordinates, but Hubert ignored
them, seemingly possessed.
3/5
He had to kill Emmanuel today to avenge his sister and take revenge for his
lost love!
The Ferris wheel had already completely fallen off the axle by now and
started to tilt downwards. The human body would definitely be crushed into
pieces under its weight!
Meanwhile, in the pool, Ryder had already carried Tia to the shore while
Roselynn and Rhea brought Tommy to dry land. Everyone looked up just in
time to see this scene, which turned their faces pale and expressions blank
with shock! Emmanuel and Jaxton were still up there!
Would someone die today?
“That b*stard Jaxton is not manly at all Roselynn gritted her tooth and only
hoped that Emmanuel wouldn’t care about that coward’s life and would just
jump off himself. With her younger brother’s skills, it wouldn’t be difficult for
him to save himself even in this situation, right?
4/5
Emmanuel thought so too, but then Jaxton begged tearfully, “Emmanuel,
save me, please!”
Since it was a matter of life and death, Emmanuel sighed and turned around,
jumping onto the seat where Jaxton was. Jaxton was still his brother-in-law,
after all, and his mother would scold him tremendously if he left Jaxton to die,
even if he wasn’t drowned in the spit of his relatives afterward.
Crack!
Emmanuel unfastened Jaxton’s seat belt and pulled him out with one hand.
The Ferris wheel had already tilted downwards, and it wasn’t high enough, so
Emmanuel had to exert more force as he kicked the loser in the butt, ensuring
he wouldn’t kick him to death.
“Ahhh!” Jaxton screamed in agony as he flew toward the pool.
Crash.
The Ferris wheel accelerated in its descent.
“Manny!”
Chapter 758

“Emmanuel!”
“Uncle Emmanuel!”
Roselynn and the others shouted; they were so nervous that they forgot to
breathe. In this situation, everyone believed that Emmanuel was undoubtedly
done for!
However, Emmanuel did not give up. He turned and was about to jump to the
top of the Ferris wheel when he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. Years
of battlefield experience made him instinctively tilt his head to avoid
whatever it was.
Ping!
A bullet hit the Ferris wheel, eliciting intense sparks which were unfortunately
soon overshadowed by the sparks caused by the collapsing Ferris wheel
itself. Emmanuel quickly looked down and saw Hubert aiming an air gun at
him with a crazed look on his face.
Chapter 758 Crushed by the Ferris Wheel
“Die! Die, Emmanuel!” Hubert looked possessed, his eyes bloodshot as he
stared at Emmanuel. If he couldn’t kill Emmanuel now, he wouldn’t give up.
However, Emmanuel looked at him with a hint of contempt and jumped
directly from the Ferris wheel.
“How dare you underestimate me? I will kill you! I will kill you!” Hubert was
driven close to insanity because of Emmanuel and didn’t even realize the
danger in front of him as he held the air gun, ready to shoot in Emmanuel’s
direction.
“Sir! It’s dangerous!”
Upon hearing the exclamation behind him, Hubert suddenly realized that a
huge shadow was approaching him. The outline of the Ferris wheel grew
larger and larger until it engulfed him.
2/5
“Arghhh!” Hubert let out a heart-wrenching scream which was soon drowned
out by the deafening sound of the Ferris wheel crashing to the ground.
The entire amusement park felt like it had experienced an earthquake.
“Manny!”
“Emmanuel!”
After the commotion, everyone was unable to recover for a while. Roselynn.
and Tia were eventually the first to react, rushing out of the water park
toward where Emmanuel had fallen.
“Save me! I can’t swim!” Jaxton coughed as his head finally emerged from
the water. He waved his hand while calling for help, but no one paid attention
to him at that moment.
“Emmanuel!” Roselynn, with slightly longer legs than Tia, reached Emmanuel
first.
“Roselynn, I’m fine!” Emmanuel grinned. This was nothing compared to the
life-and-death situations he had faced in the Northern Region years ago.
“You scared me!” Roselynn rushed over and hugged Emmanuel tightly.
Tia looked at this scene, feeling a mix of emotions since she also wished she
could give Emmanuel a hug like Roselynn did without any reservations.
In what capacity, though? As a future sister-in-law? Would that be
appropriate?
Soon, Ryder, Rhea, and Tommy also arrived.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Emmanuel felt relieved but was shocked
when he turned around.
“Arghhh!” Tia saw the horrifying scene beneath the Ferris wheel and let out a
scream. Even Roselynn, a tough woman, was too scared to look.
Rhea, being a medical professional, was a little afraid too but still instinctively
walked forward. Hubert’s head was trapped under the frame of the Ferris
wheel, and his entire head was deformed! Blood flowed everywhere as his
legs struggled desperately, indicating that he was not dead yet.
The amusement park staff arrived, but the Ferris wheel was too heavy and
they couldn’t figure out a way to pull Hubert out.
“Emmanuel, can you save him?” Rhea knew that Emmanuel had to have the
ability to do so. As a medical professional, she couldn’t just stand by and
watch no matter who the victim was after all.
Emmanuel sighed inwardly and walked toward Hubert.
5/5
Hubert’s gaze pierced through the gaps in the steel bars of the Ferris wheel
as he looked at Emmanuel, desperately moving his legs from side to side as
if trying to convey something.
No!
He absolutely did not want Emmanuel to save him and would rather die than
owe this b*stard a favor, especially when it was a lifesaving one!
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.
1/6
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 pa*sed 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 a*saulted 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

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.

“Yes, Captain!” After saluting, Ashton glared at Emmanuel one last time
before leaving to investigate.

Emmanuel shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Captain Payne, I guess having
a fiery subordinate like her will cause you trouble everywhere, eh?”
Aston hadn’t gone far when he spoke those words. Upon hearing Emmanuel’s
complaint, she had the urge to turn around and kick him.
Unfortunately, she could tell Sage was very protective of Emmanuel, which
frustrated her.
“That’s why I came to talk to you in person. Will you hear me out?” Sage asked
politely.
At the same time, he glanced at the woman behind Emmanuel and sighed. It
seems that ever since Emmanuel returned, he’s surrounded by women. All of
them are nothing but beautiful and charming.
Emmanuel had no idea what Sage was thinking. After giving Sage an
affirmative nod, he handed the Maserati key to Roselynn and said, “Roselynn,
you guys should go first. I want to discuss the case with Captain Payne.”
“Okay!” Roselynn tossed the key at Ryder and spared Emmanuel a glance
before she left.
I could always call a cab to go home. Rhea took the hint and turned to leave
as well. It seems like I finally live up to my title as Emmanuel’s personal
relationship expert today!
“H-Hey!” Ryder panicked. Although he had a driving license, he didn’t drive.
Therefore, there was no guarantee for his driving skill.
He couldn’t afford to make compensation if he accidentally left any scratch
on the expensive car.
He desperately wanted to stop Roselynn, but she kept walking.
“Achoo.” Crossing her arms over her chest, Tia sneezed.
It was only then that Ryder noticed that she was completely soaked. She
might catch a cold.
“Tia, l-let’s get you home!”
“Okay.” She nodded and took Tommy’s hand as she smiled at the boy
brightly. “Tommy, I’m going with you guys.”

“Hooray!” Tommy exclaimed. He took the role of his father’s wingman as his
father was unreliable. “You’re the first woman my dad sends home in a car!”
“Hey, you little brat!” Ryder raised his hand, pretending to hit his son. By saying
that, Ms. Franks will surely know I’m a loser.
Tommy grimaced at his dad before hiding behind Tia.
Tia was smiling at the heartwarming scene.
On the other side, Emmanuel and Sage arrived at the storage room at the
amusement park’s entrance.
“Here’s your medicine. One packet lasts for two doses a day. And here’s the prescription. If you run out of medicine, you can prepare them yourself.”
4/5
Emmanuel took a large bag of medicine from the locker and handed the bag
to Sage.
He stored it here when he first arrived at the amusement park. He also asked
Sage to meet here.
Sage chuckled. “I feel like I can live to eighty years old with the prescription
you provided.”
“Only eighty? It has to be a hundred!”
Sage laughed wholeheartedly. “It’s not a problem as long as you agree to
provide me with seventy years’ worth of medicine!”
Emmanuel feigned hesitation. “If so, forget about it. You can live a few years
less.”
Sage laughed at his joke.
5/5
The two bantered for a while and gave each other a little punch in the chest. The reunion reminded them of three years ago.
The two chatted for a while until Sage began seriously, “If you still see me as
your friend, you need to be frank with me. Who exactly is going after you? Are
you carrying out an important mission for the Northern Region?”
Meeting the gleaming eyes of Sage, Emmanuel eventually nodded.
“Really? So, you’re still a part of the Northern Region, right? Will you reform the
Wolf Warrior Unit one day?” Sage immediately hugged Emmanuel in
excitement. He fixed his eyes on Emmanuel’s face in anticipation.
