A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2124 Harsh Conditions

Hey why are you even thinking about coming along? You get carsick just sitting in a vehicle. We’re heading into battle, not a vacation. Who has time to babysit someone as useless as you?” Quintus scapped.

He didn’t have the slightest trace of sympathy for Libby and was ready to drag her away.

Claudette had nailed it–Quintus only had room in his eyes for Mackenzie. To him, every other woman might as well have been a man.

“Mackenzie! Mackenzie!”

Libby knew that only Mackenzie could stop Quintus, so she shouted her name with desperation that tore at the heart.

“Wait a moment!”

Mackenzie did call out to Quintus, halting him in his tracks. But she didn’t immediately agree to Libby’s request. Instead, she reasoned with her.

“Libby, Quintus has a point. The journey is rough, and your health is too weak to endure it. We promise to do everything in our power to rescue your sister–if she’s still alive.”

“But how will you even know who she is?” Libby asked with a tear–streaked face.

“Don’t you have a photo of her?” Mackenzie asked.

Libby shook her head. “I don’t have a phone or any pictures.”

“Ugh, what a hassle!”

Quintus, clearly frustrated, said directly, “Mackenzie, stop wasting your breath on her. We’ve got those Five Poison Sect guys to guide us; we don’t need her. If she refuses to leave, I’ll just have her tied up and taken back!”

Even Mackenzie found his words crude, but he wasn’t wrong. Bringing along someone so frail wasn’t practical on the front lines.

At that moment, Claudette appeared again. Her kind heart couldn’t bear to see Libby crying so painfully, so she quickly stepped in to protect her and said, “Quintus, I understand how she feels. If it were you, and someone had taken me away, wouldn’t you go rescue me yourself?”

“Well…”

Quintus hesitated, then grumbled, “That’s different! I could rescue you, but she’s just dead weight!”

“But the feeling is the same!”

Claudette insisted, then turned directly to Mackenzie. “Mackenzie, Aunt Laura and I will take care of Libby. Please bring her with us. Otherwise, she’ll be devastated.”

Mackenzie looked at Claudette and was reminded of Emmanuel’s actions when he had once risked everything to save her. She let out a soft sigh and nodded in agreement.
