A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 1057
Emmanuel also departed from the establishment after Ashton took her leave.
Nonetheless, the discussions in the club didn’t cease all night.

They never anticipated that the man chosen by Ms. Quillen would be so formidable! Her judgment was truly spot on!
After Ashton brought Hubert back to the precinct, he surprisingly confessed to all his crimes.
He admitted not only to the attempted murder of Emmanuel but also to the failed attempt of drugging Mackenzie. Then, he even
spilled the beans regarding his past crimes against other victims!
He was on such a roll that he practically rambled about every single wrongdoing he had done. If the officers hadn’t stopped him,
there was a chance that he would have even started confessing to bullying a little girl back when he was in kindergarten. It was
evident that he was deeply afraid of Emmanuel.
He feared encountering Emmanuel, his walking nightmare, and being humiliated and crushed like an ant once more!
“Another case closed!”
Ashton returned to her apartment in the residential area late at night, feeling quite satisfied with herself.
The poisoning case was solved. Tonight, the mastermind behind the Ferris wheel incident turned himself in. Now, only the
Sebastian Oatley car accident case, which Captain Payne had entrusted to her, remained!
“It seems I don’t have to return home and take over the family business!”
Ashton could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, she couldn’t help but think of Emmanuel again. If it weren’t for that man,
how could these two cases have progressed so smoothly?
“Should I give him a call to express my gratitude?”
Ashton took out her phone. Then, she hesitated and placed it away.
“No, he’s a married man. What if his wife finds out if I call him so late?”

Then, she grumbled, “No, wait. Mackenzie has always been so arrogant. What’s wrong with provoking her a little? I can still
remember how smug she looked last time!”
Alas, she couldn’t bring herself to do it as she muttered, “Still, is this really a good idea? Morally, I would be at a disadvantage.
What if others misunderstand and think I want to be a mistress?”
For a moment, this single and independent policewoman was becoming increasingly paranoid.
To her surprise, the screen of her phone lit up the next moment!
“What’s going on? Emmanuel is calling me?!”
Ashton couldn’t believe it. It was almost midnight! Why would that man call her at this hour? Could it be that he was harboring
some ulterior motives?
“Ugh, what am I thinking?”

Ashton shook her head in an attempt to clear her head of such nonsense. She had interacted with Emmanuel for quite some
time. Since she had a functional brain and working eyes, she could tell that he was an honest man!
Besides, she even heard a rumor that he hadn’t even touched his wife. So, how could he possibly cheat?
Sure enough, after the call connected, Emmanuel got straight to the point and said, “Miss Ashton, have you ever considered
thanking me for what happened tonight?”
This guy! How could he be so blunt when asking for a reward?
Ashton, who had initially intended to express her appreciation, deliberately pouted and said, “What did you say? Why should I be
grateful to you?”
“Well, since you’re being so ungrateful... It seems there’s no need for me to help you catch the suspect in the car accident case
either!”
Emmanuel’s tactic worked like a charm.

Ashton immediately blurted, “No, don’t! I’m really thankful for all your help!”
“Gratitude alone is not enough. You have to return the favor!” Emmanuel retorted.
Nothing good ever comes out of his mouth! Doesn’t he know how to talk politely?
Ashton was a bit annoyed. She really couldn’t comprehend how such a dense man managed to get hitched?
There was also the fact that his wife was gorgeous! Frankly, just the thought of his romantic life and her lack of any romantic
partner made her want to throw hands.
“So? What do you
want?”
Ashton’s attitude was far from pleasant. No man had ever dared to make such demands of her before. If there were, she would
have beaten them up a long time ago!
It was a shame that she couldn’t defeat this man, which made her feel even more frustrated!
“I want you to invite your brother to Yeringham again and arrange for him to go on another blind date with my sister,” Emmanuel
said forthrightly.
“What? Again?”
Ashton’s tone took on a tinge of surprise. “What’s the point? My brother said your sister is so unattractive. He also made it
explicitly clear that she isn’t his type!”
She was never one to speak too harshly, especially when it came to her fellow women. Nonetheless, it wasn’t her fault that
Emmanuel was so vexing! That’s right! His sister can only blame her brother for being such a pest! Hmph!
Unexpectedly, Emmanuel didn’t become enraged. Instead, he merely replied, “The person he saw last time wasn’t my sister. My
sister is very beautiful. Well, her looks are definitely better than yours!”
The f*ck?
What is he trying to say here?

Is he implying that I’m ugly?
Ashton was so furious that she instinctively held her pillow in a death grip, imagining that her pillow was actually Emmanuel’s
neck!
“In any case, help me arrange a date. Let me know the time and place. Bye!”
When Emmanuel saw that she didn’t reject the idea outright, he promptly decided on her behalf. After all, he had promised his
mother to help his sister find a reliable partner.
