Chapter 898 The Tattoo on Her Neck
“Okay.” Xylie nodded. The way she looked at Emmanuel was different from how she looked at others.

Emmanuel didn’t pay much attention to it. In his eyes, women were either Mackenzie or other women, with no significant difference.
After leaving the hotel, the three of them headed to the airport. Emmanuel and Xylie sat in the backseat, chatting and laughing, while Ashton sat in the passenger seat, sporting a stern expression.
That annoying Emmanuel. He only has eyes for pretty girls! How in the world did a guy like him become the Wolf Warrior?! How maddening!
On the evening they landed, the three of them returned to Yeringham. Just as they were about to part ways, Xylie seemed a bit reluctant. She turned to Emmanuel and said, “Mr. Lowe, thank you for saving me in Yeternia and for all your help. Can we stay in touch in the future? I… I consider you a good friend now.”
“Of course!” Emmanuel readily agreed. After several interactions, he found Xylie’s personality and character to be quite pleasant, and she was worth having as a friend.
Ashton couldn’t contain herself and chimed in, “He’s already married, you know. You should be careful when calling him a good friend!”
Xylie suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and looked a bit downcast.
“By the way, Lady-Raptor,” Emmanuel finally took the initiative to ask Ashton, “what’s the origin of the tattoo on your neck? Are you also a member of the Holy Fire organization?”
He had been wanting to ask Ashton about this for a while, but their relationship was terrible back then, and there wasn’t a good opportunity. Now that things had thawed a bit, it was a chance to find out.
“What Holy Fire organization?” Aston appeared utterly bewildered, her eyebrows furrowing. She even appeared somewhat nervous and covered the tattoo on her neck, not wanting Emmanuel to see it again.
Hearing Ashton’s response and seeing her demeanor, Emmanuel couldn’t help but frown. It seemed like she wasn’t pretending. Does this mean that Snake Master had been lying before? Is this not the symbol of the Holy Fire organization?
“Hmph, it’s for me to know and you to find out!” Ashton snapped at Emmanuel. “You’re already a married man, so stop showing so much interest in other women’s bodies, okay?”
With that, she walked away, taking Xylie with her.
Emmanuel found the situation rather baffling. Well, you could’ve just said no. What does this have to do with my marriage?! This woman was certainly idiosyncratic!
After parting ways with Emmanuel, Ashton’s expression remained incredibly complex. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
In reality, she wanted to build a good relationship with Emmanuel after finding out he was the Northern Region Wolf, and she wanted to learn martial arts and marksmanship from him and even wished to seek his aid in solving cases. After all, he was someone even more formidable than Sage. But for some reason, she always found herself speaking harshly, making it seemingly impossible to improve her relationship with that man.
Xylle, being a woman, understood Ashton better than Emmanuel. Seeing her storm off, she couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Summerton, you haven’t developed a crush on Mr. Lowe, have you?”
Xylie, being a woman, understood Ashton better than Emmanuel. Seeing her storm off she couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Summerton, you haven’t developed a crush on Mr. Lowe, have you?”
“What?!” Ashton, as though electrocuted, abruptly stopped and scolded Xylie, “What’nonsense are you talking about? He’s the person I detest the most, without a doubt! Even if all the men in the world were gone, I could never like him!”
Xylie simply responded with an “Oh” and then smiled before falling silent.
This reaction from Xylie further infuriated Ashton, making it seem as if she were saying one thing and meaning
another.
“Hmph, stop talking nonsense and come back to the police station with me to give your statement!” Ashton didn’t want to continue the conversation with Xylie. However, she couldn’t help but place her hand back on her neck, where the tattoo was located. “It seems like it’s time to find a way to get rid of this thing,” she muttered to herself
