A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO Chapter 561-570
Chapter 561
On the other hand, the doubt in Mr. Willy’s subordinates‘ eyes was palpable
when they noticed he had no intention of keeping Terence, but they did not
dare to question him.
As he watched Terence’s departing figure, Mr. Willy’s eyes carried a hint of
eerie determination, and murmured, “Whether it’s the Energy Diagram of Nine
Palace or the unfinished product of the Quillen family, we must obtain them!”
After saying this, he sneered coldly.
:
Later that evening at the Quillen residence, Sarah walked into Felicity’s room,
smiling at her mother, who had just returned from outside. “Mom, aren’t you
having dinner tonight?”
“I have no appetite!” Felicity replied indifferently without turning around.
“How can you compete with them if you don’t eat right and take care of your
health?” Sarah questioned while placing the food on the table.
This statement piqued Felicity’s interest as she turned around and looked at
her only daughter, who always stood by her side.
“I found some Verdant Blooms and made a broth with them, Mom. Have
some to clear the toxins in your body!” While saying this, Sarah handed her
mother a bowl of broth.
Felicity was hesitant at first but eventually accepted the bowl with a hint of
surprise on her face. “Did you actually find it?”
“Of course! You’re my mom. I’ll do whatever it takes for the sake of your
health, no matter how troublesome it may be!” After saying this, Sarah
grinned at her mother and stated, “Even if you want to reclaim Dad’s
inheritance, I will also support you. After all, you are Dad’s spouse and the
legal nominee for his assets!”
Felicity shuddered upon hearing this. After a while, she bit her lip lightly and
said, “I consulted a lawyer today, but the chances of us reclaiming your
father’s inheritance through legal means are very slim.”
Sarah nodded in response. I knew that already, and the chances of it
happening were slim. Otherwise, Mom would have used the legal system to
fight for it.
“Still, this is unacceptable to me! Your father’s entire inheritance has always
been under the control of your grandfather! Why? Who gave him the right to
do that?!” Felicity’s anger got the best of her, and she ended up spilling some
of the broth on the floor.
“Calm down, Mom!” Sarah hurriedly went over to calm her mother down.
“There will always be a way! Grandpa is at fault for not giving you the
inheritance and even resorting to hurting you! That’s unacceptable!”
Looking at her daughter’s pensive gaze, Felicity pondered for a while before
gritting her teeth. “You’re right, Sarah! That despicable old man has no sense
of righteousness or justice, so I am not obliged to show him mercy. No matter
what, I will get what belongs to me! By any means necessary!”
Then, Sarah regarded her mother’s icy gaze and gently patted her on the
back. “Don’t get too worked up, Mom. Finish the broth first!”
Felicity nodded and drank the broth. After consuming the entire bowl, she felt
a warming sensation in her belly. At least I’m not fighting this battle alone,
and I still have my precious daughter by my side!
“Mom, it’s Christmas today, and New Year’s is approaching. Since the whole
family is gathering for dinner at home, you shouldn’t just hide in the room.
You’re the mistress of the Quillen family, after all!” Sarah reminded her
mother.
“You’re right! Even though we’re at a disadvantage, we’re not afraid of the
Quillen family. I am the mistress of the family!” Felicity didn’t want to be
marginalized by the family, so she decided to step into the hall. However, she
didn’t expect it to trigger another family dispute!
Chapter 562
Meanwhile, Terence and a group of Quillen family women were having a
banquet in the Quillen residence’s main hall.
Beatrix suddenly burst in, skipping around and announcing, “We’re back,
everyone!”
Everyone quickly turned their attention to the cheerful member of the Quillen
family, but their gaze soon shifted to Mackenzie, who entered after her.
“Oh? Mackenzie is finally back!”
“I’ve been expecting your return for so long, Mackenzie! Has work been
occupying you? Come on in and have some warm broth. It’s cold outside!”
“Exactly. It’s always so cold around the New Year! Why are you still working so
hard, Mackenzie? The festive season is coming up!”
The group of women from the family hurriedly gathered around Mackenzie,
causing Beatrix to pout. “Everyone! Am I transparent to you? Did I just slip your
mind, or what? I stayed up late with Mackenzie at work too!”
“Alright, alright. You’ve also put in a lot of effort. Come and have some broth!”
After saying this, Samantha ruffled her tiny head and pulled her over to the
dining table.
“Thank you, Aunt Samantha!” Though Beatrix’s anger burned brightly
momentarily, it quickly dissipated behind the veneer of a cheerful exterior.
Before the food was served, however, she saw Sarah coming out with her
arm linked to Felicity’s, and she immediately pulled a long face. “Well, look
who’s here. Sarah Quillen! How dare you come back to our house, you
shameless woman?!” Suddenly, she transformed into a ferocious wild horse,
escaping from Samantha’s grasp and charging madly toward Sarah.
The entire family was taken aback and couldn’t help but wonder what had
happened between the two sisters.
“What are you talking about, Beatrix?” Sarah wore a face of innocence along
with a bitter smile. “I am a member of the Quillen family, and I haven’t even
gotten married yet. Where else should I go if not back here?”
“You’re still trying to pretend, aren’t you?” Beatrix’s temper flared when she
saw her sister’s innocent expression. With a hysterical grabbing and pulling
off her sleeves, she shouted, “Confess already! Did you intentionally try to
seduce Emmanuel? How shameless can you be to do such a despicable
thing?”
“What?!”
Beatrix’s words undoubtedly elicited a strong reaction from the Quillen family,
so it was not surprising that they were stunned to hear this statement.
“Let go, Beatrix! Let go of me! It hurts-” Unable to break free from her sister’s
grip, Sarah nearly cried.
1
While watching the event unfold, Mackenzie intervened to stop Beatrix
despite knowing that Sarah was feigning her vulnerability. “Enough, Beatrix!”
When Beatrix heard this, she withdrew her hand and snorted, but she did not
expect Felicity to approach and slap her across the face!
Slap!
After that, the joyful atmosphere in the hall immediately turned awkward.
“W–Why did you slap me, Mom?” While saying this, Beatrix covered her
stinging cheek, grievance written all over her face.
On the other hand, Felicity stared at her with a stern expression. “How dare
you question why I slapped you? Have you forgotten about respecting your
elders? Sarah is your elder sister. How could you lay a hand on her?”
“But Mom-”
Beatrix attempted to explain, but Felicity interrupted coldly, “Don’t you know
how popular Sarah is among men? Even so, she has always maintained her
integrity. Let’s put aside the fact that she would never try to seduce someone
like Emmanuel. Even if they were together, he would most likely be the sneaky
one who isn’t content with having just one woman!”
“Mom, you should be reasonable-”
“Stop talking and come back, Beatrix!” Mackenzie interjected right as Beatrix
began to argue with Felicity.
“What on earth is going on?!” With the aid of his cane, Terence rose to his feet
in a rage, determined to find out what was going on. He had absolute trust in
Emmanuel. That boy is too innocent. How could he possibly seduce Sarah?
Chapter 563
Meanwhile, Terence was still reeling from what he had just heard and
contemplated the situation. Sarah has never misbehaved in my presence, so
I highly doubt she would try to seduce Emmanuel. How could something like
this happen?
“What happened, Mackenzie?” Samantha asked because they wanted to
hear it from Mackenzie.
Everyone in the hall couldn’t believe Beatrix and Sarah because their stories
were contradictory, but they would undoubtedly believe Mackenzie if she told
her version of events.
“It’s nothing, Grandpa. Don’t worry!”
Mackenzie reassured him while walking up to him, trying to downplay the
situation. In a confident and generous tone, she explained, “Some malicious
people sent me photos of Emmanuel and Sarah together, but I believe he’s
not the type to cheat. Why would I not trust my husband?” While saying this,
her gaze was fixed on Sarah.
In contrast, Sarah was too terrified to look her sister in the eyes, but her face
was etched with grief.
“I see!” Terence nodded and said decisively, “I trust Emmanuel in this matter!
Of course, I also trust Sarah, my obedient child. You couldn’t possibly have
anything to do with your brother–in–law. It must be a misunderstanding! So,
let’s drop the subject and stop making wild guesses until Emmanuel has
arrived!
“Okay, Grandpa!”
Then, Mackenzie escorted Terence back to his seat with a nonchalant
expression.
In the meantime, Sarah’s eyes flashed a deceitful gleam.
1
On the other hand, Beatrix’s mouth widened incredulously. Before, Mackenzie
got drunk out of jealousy after learning that Emmanuel had a candlelight
dinner with Claudette. Now, though, how could she possibly seem unaffected
by something so scandalous? I’m sure she’s learned to let go of her feelings!
Still, how could she have changed so much?
“Control your own daughter, Felicity!” Despite everything that had happened,
Samantha remained steadfast in supporting Mackenzie. Then, Samantha
approached Felicity and cautioned her with a cold glare.
The mere sight of that expression set Felicity’s fury off in overdrive. “What’s
that glare supposed to mean, Samantha? How far do you want to go to bully
the both of us?” Then, she pointed at Samantha and growled angrily,
contrasting her graceful and refined demeanor. I’ve had enough of this! This
is the final straw for me!
“Literally what it means!” With her fiery character, there was no way
Samantha would back down just because Felicity made a fuss. Instead, she
fought back and taunted, “Sarah has been under your care since she was
young. As her mother, you must take full responsibility for her personality and
whatever shameless things she does. Hah. She even started seducing her
sister’s husband. What a scheming woman!”
Nonetheless, those words didn’t bother Sarah, but Fèlicity’s face had flushed
scarlet with rage, and she looked like she might explode.
“H–How could you?! You’ll regret saying that!” While saying this, Felicity
pounced on Samantha and strangled her neck.
“Hey,,stop fighting!”
“Stop it already!”
The women in the Quillen family were shocked because the family had
always upheld strict family values, and this was the first time they had
witnessed such a scene. Soon, everyone rushed forward to intervene and
stop the fight.
Terence pounded his cane angrily as he watched the unfolding drama. “This
is outrageous! How could you behave like that, Felicity?”
To their surprise, Felicity was no match for Samantha. Samantha’s temper
overwhelmed her, causing Samantha to pin the woman down before she
sent a few slaps at her face!
“How could you slap me? You must be sick of living! Today, I will teach you a
lesson, ungrateful witch!”
Slap after slap, Felicity’s face swelled up like a ball, and blood oozed from the
corners of her mouth.
The entire scene shocked the family so much that nobody dared to
intervene.
Chapter 564
“Stop… Please stop-” Terence wanted to stop them, but his chest hurt so
badly that he could only clutch it tightly.
“Old Mr. Quillen!” Alfred was rushing to get him medicine, and he didn’t have
time to intervene in the fight.
On the other hand, Sarah did not venture to step in and was content to yell
“Stop” from the sidelines.
When Samantha raised her hand again, she felt a strong grip on her wrist
and yelled, “Who is it?!” She assumed it was Sarah and was prepared to beat
up whoever was obstructing her, but when she turned her head, she was
stunned.
Then, Mackenzie slowly released Samantha’s wrist and coldly ordered, “Stop
it!”
As soon as she realized what she was doing, Samantha stopped but couldn’t
help mumbling, “How dare you lay a hand on me? You’re simply
embarrassing yourself!”
Due to their family hierarchy, no one from the Quillen family rushed to assist
Felicity in getting back on her feet. The fight left her hair disheveled, her face
puffy and red, and blood seeping from the corners of her lips. Beatrix could
not help but feel heartbroken at her mother’s pitiful and miserable
appearance. Although she didn’t stand on her mother’s side, Felicity was still
her mother!
When Beatrix rushed over to her mother to help her get to her feet, Sarah
raced past her and pushed her aside. Then, Sarah uttered coldly, “Stop
pretending to be nice!”
Beatrix was taken aback upon hearing this.
“Let’s go, Mom. This family doesn’t seem to welcome us anymore!” Sarah
pulled Felicity up and lamented in an aggrieved tone.
“All of you, remember this day!” With bloodshot eyes, Felicity trembled as she
screamed at the top of her lungs, “The entire Quillen family is at fault for
bullying me! You are the ones who forced me to a dead one! I swear that I
will ruin all of your reputations! I want you to suffer and become miserable!”
“s–Shut up!” After taking his medication, Terence roared as his face turned an
unnatural shade of red.
“Dad!” Samantha hurriedly approached him in a state of apprehension.
However, Terence smacked her across the face and chided her, “Do you even
have manners? How could you do that earlier? Have you forgotten who you
are? Should you solve problems by resorting to violence? What happened to
your upbringing? Has anyone ever taught you to fight with your own family?”
Once again, the entire hall was enveloped in silence.
Samantha was a filial child, so she sat through her father’s scolding without
saying anything, like a child who had done something wrong, all for the sake
of her father’s health!
However, Terence angrily scolded again, “You, move it!”
Then, she quickly moved aside upon hearing this.
On the other hand, Mackenzie understood why her grandfather was so
furious. The conflicts between Felicity and the Quillen family were already
intense and irreconcilable. If Samantha were to escalate this matter, it would
undoubtedly bring disaster to the family! After all, no matter how much
Felicity favored her own family, she was still the daughter–in–law of the
Quillen family.
“Are you alright, Felicity?” Terence had a firm attitude toward Felicity in the
morning, but he had not intended to provoke a direct conflict. Since things
had reached this point, he needed to find a way to appease Felicity.
“Hmph, stop pretending to be nice!” As expected, Felicity didn’t appreciate it
“I’m leaving the Quillen residence right now, and I will reclaim what rightfully
belongs to me! By any means necessary!!” She took advantage of her
righteous indignation by articulating her feelings clearly and then leaving the
hall accompanied by Sarah.
“Shall we stop them, Old Mr. Quillen?” Alfred was also concerned about the
seriousness of the situation, as he understood the importance of maintaining
family harmony.
“Let them go. I’m afraid we can’t keep them here anymore,” Terence
responded, resigning himself to the situation. Since Felicity and Samantha
had just had a major fight, he reasoned that it would be best if they didn’t see
each other for a while to avoid a resumption of hostilities. Another reason
was that he was apprehensive about Mackenzie and Sarah meeting
face–to–face. He knew she would still harbor resentment toward her sister
despite Mackenzie’s outward tolerant attitude, and this animosity would
eventually boil over.
In the meantime, Mackenzie gradually clenched her delicate hands as she
watched Sarah’s departing figure. She had no choice but to put on an act of
faith in Emmanuel in front of Sarah; otherwise, she would fall into her sister’s
trap. However, even after Sarah left, she could not help but feel a cloud of
uncertainty in her heart.
Chapter 565
Ultimately, Mackenzie was resolved to pry the truth out of Emmanuel!
Meanwhile, the man finally returned to Yociam Residence. He had not
contacted his wife beforehand because he wanted to surprise her, but he
didn’t anticipate that she wouldn’t be home tonight.
Just as Emmanuel was about to call her, his phone rang. “Hello, Mom?”
“Manny, are you back in Yeringham?”
Alessandra was aware of her son’s trip to Eastern Star Mountain, but when he
returned, he went straight to Lenoir Residence to save Claudette, so he
hadn’t had the opportunity to call his mother.
“Yes. I’m back!”
“Great. I’m content as long as you return safely,” she said.
Emmanuel had avoided going into detail with his mother about Claudette’s
situation, and Roselynn had done the same to spare her mother’s anxiety.
Moreover, Alessandra was at the bottom of the social ladder, so she wasn’t
aware of the upper class‘ power struggles in Yeringham. She was also
unaware of the entanglement between the Lenoir and Quillen families until
today. Aside from her son’s safety, her main concern was her
daughter–in–law. So, she asked, “Manny, New Year’s is just around the corner.
When are you and Mackenzie coming back home?”
After hearing his mother’s statement, Emmanuel was suddenly reminded
that New Year’s was approaching. As he reflected on the past three months,
he realized that he had never expected his marriage to last until the New
Year. Hmmm! Bringing my wife home for the holidays and spending quality
time with my mom in the New Year sounds like a wonderful idea. My primary
concern right now is whether Mackenzie will agree to this. Will she go along
with this? Even though he was clueless, he responded to his mother, “I’ll go
home tomorrow to clean the house with you, but I will still have to check
Mackenzie’s schedule!”
“Oh dear, do you still have to check her schedule? Is she also working on New
Year’s Day?” Alessandra was anxious because she and Roselynn had already
completed the preparations for the New Year, but she desired to spend
quality time with her family during the festive season. Without my son and
daughter–in–law here for New Year’s, I doubt I would feel the same
excitement about the holiday.
“I don’t think she has to work on that particular day.” He quickly reassured his
mother, “Don’t worry, Mom! I’ll do everything I can to persuade Mackenzie to
spend the New Year with us, even if it’s only for one day!”
“I–I’ll wait for your news, then. With that, Alessandra hung up the phone
worriedly.
Consequently, Emmanuel had an even greater reason to contact Mackenzie
and ask if she could accompany him back home. However, what happened
next was beyond his expectations!
He dialed his wife’s number, and the line went through, but he was cut off
before he could speak. Instead, she snorted coldly and ranted, “How long has
it been since you returned? Did you just remember to call me? Sorry, I’m busy
right now!”
Toot! Toot!
When he heard the phone get disconnected, Emmanuel smiled wryly. Her icy
personality is authentic, and she immediately silenced me before I could
even utter a word. Is she angry? What should I do now? If only I hadn’t left the
Quillen residence that day! Hmm… I should talk to Roselynn about this…
His sister was the only person he could consult for relationship advice,
despite her limited relationship experience. Coincidentally, his phone rang
just as he was about to call his sister.
He noticed it was an unknown number from Yeringham, but it wasn’t flagged
as a scam call by the national anti–fraud app. After wondering who might be
calling, he answered the phone.
“Hello. May I know if this is… Dr. Lowe?” A sweet and slightly timid voice
emanated from the other end.
“Rhea Gomez? Is that you?” Emmanuel truly hadn’t expected it would be her.
Chapter 566
“Yeah, it’s me.” Rhea’s voice was extremely gentle, even more so than before,
but her words were not proactive.
Coincidentally, Emmanuel wasn’t a smooth talker either, so he hesitated for a
while before asking, “Miss Gomez, what can I do for you?”
“Well, um… My dad asked me to ask you when you’ll be free for New Year.” Her
-tone softened as she spoke.
Although he could not see her in person, he still ‘vividly remembered the
assistant he had recently worked with. She must be blushing again. “Ah, I
probably won’t have any free time these days, and I have to visit relatives
during the New Year. It’s hard to say! Anyway, I’ll try to make time.” He spoke
truthfully, and while he promised Juan a visit, he most likely couldn’t find any
free time recently.
“Oh, I see.” Rhea sounded disappointed but didn’t hang up the phone or
continue the conversation.
On the other hand, Emmanuel thought this woman exhibited reserved
characteristics due to her gentleness, demureness, and passivity. He knew
he had to break out of his routine when talking to her, so he boldly initiated
the conversation by saying, “Yeah, I’m actually wondering how to coax my
wife. It seems like she’s angry with me!”
“Huh? Dr. Lowe, you’re married?” She was somewhat taken aback when she
learned about this, but then she probably realized that she had overreacted
and quickly laughed it off. “Why is she angry?”
“Hmmm… I don’t know either.” While saying this, he forced a smile and added,
“Anyway, that’s just her temperament; she can be pretty icy. Still, I don’t know
what to do now.”
“Well, maybe I can help you!” Rhea’s usually reserved demeanor vanished,
and her voice brightened with excitement.
“You could help me?” Emmanuel was perplexed by her offer. If this was any
other woman, I would believe it, but does this blushing woman have any
relationship experience?
“Of course! I–I’ve been in love before, and as a woman, I understand women
better than you guys do!” When she said this, she suddenly felt a surge of
pride. “With my help, I can help you coax your wife!”
“Haha, well, thank you in advance!” He scratched his head and laughed as he
said this because he hadn’t planned on receiving this unexpected guidance.
Immediately after that, Rhea gave Emmanuel a plethora of suggestions,
most of which he found interesting and useful, though he ultimately rejected
those that involved spending money. Finally, he settled on a proposal and
prepared to implement it the following day.
The next morning, Mackenzie went to work as usual. She was able to forget
about her husband when she was busy at work, but whenever she had a
moment to herself, she couldn’t help but sneak a glance at her phone.
“Hmph, that guy didn’t even make a call or send a message!” There was a
slight increase in her anger with each glance at her phone.
On the other hand, in Sarah’s presence, she pretended to trust Emmanuel to
prevent the other party from succeeding in their scheme. After all, she was
well aware that Sarah intended to separate them!
Nonetheless, she wasn’t emotionally evolved as Beatrix had imagined!
Since jealousy is a natural feeling for women, why wouldn’t a wife be
concerned if she witnessed her husband embracing a naked woman?
In the meantime, Mackenzie had been waiting for Emmanuel to explain but
didn’t know how to initiate the conversation. She was supposed to be an icy
and aloof female CEO, so incidents like these were especially frustrating and
awkward to bring up. Would she be able to confront her husband about his
infidelity like those typical wives did? In addition, the woman involved was
Sarah, who was also her sister, so the entire situation was particularly
frustrating and chaotic for her.
“Ms. Quillen, are you okay? Not feeling well?”
At this moment, Mackenzie, staring blankly at her phone, was startled by
Lexi’s voice. Then, her eyebrows slightly raised, she looked up and grumbled,
“Why didn’t you knock before coming in?”
“I did knock, but you didn’t hear it!” In addition to being her subordinate and
best friend, Lexi also had the innate ability to modulate the tone of her voice.
μπαμαι
“Oh, is that so?” Mackenzie was no longer angry with her and simply sighed.
“Ms. Quillen, are you thinking about Emmanuel?” Lexi asked cautiously.
Chapter 567
Nevertheless, Lexi’s words elicited a surprising reaction from Mackenzie, who
lightly tapped the table and refuted, “Thinking about him? What a joke! Why
would I think about him? I’m thinking about work. The Verkade family is trying
to snatch our market! I don’t have time to think about anything else!”
“Oh, I see!” Lexi smiled and nodded, not stating that she didn’t believe it, but
her expression made it clear that she didn’t.
“What are you smiling at?” This time, there was a hint of anger in Mackenzie’s
eyes. How dare this woman laugh at me?
“I’m not smiling at anything. Ms. Quillen, it’s good that you’re not thinking
about men! As a cold and aloof female CEO of Terence Group, how can you
be troubled by love? It’s illogical!” Lexi teased again, set down a stack of
documents, and hurriedly left the room.
However, Mackenzie sensed Lexi was up to something significant behind the
grin, though she had no idea what it was. Oh well, I’m not in the mood to work
anymore. I should go home first!
Then, she descended the stairs and exited the building, only to discover that
Wally was not waiting for her in the Bentley. “What’s going on?” Her brow
furrowed slightly as she said this. Wally has been my driver for many years,
and nothing like this has ever happened before.
The security guard at the entrance hurriedly ran over, bowing and saying,
“Ms. Quillen, the driver Wally, asked for leave tonight. He has already informed
Ms. Summerton!”
“What?” Mackenzie’s eyes flashed with cold astonishment. I just suspected
Lexi was up to something, and with her ability, she wouldn’t have made such
a mistake. Is she doing it on purpose?
Meanwhile, the security guard was shaken to the core upon seeing the
female CEO in this state. He stood stock still, afraid to make a single move, as
he quivered and said, “Ms. Quillen, if you need a car, I’ll immediately inform
the fleet!”
“No need!” She motioned with her hand for the security guard to leave
because she could see her Maserati slowly approaching the building
entrance. It finally dawned on her what Lexi was up to. Wow, she teamed up
with that idiot Emmanuel to play these tricks on me? Is this a setup she
designed to help him?
Then, as she watched the man drive the vehicle toward her, she didn’t know
how to describe her emotions.
Joy?
Anger?
Happiness?
Annoyance?
She didn’t know!
Immediately after, Emmanuel opened the car door and stepped out, carrying
a bouquet of roses.
What’s going on? Has he gone crazy? Mackenzie couldn’t believe it. Is this my
idiotic husband? Who taught him these methods of flirting?
Even the security guard, the only bystander, stopped in his tracks in disbelief.
What is going on? Is this Ms. Quillen’s man? Although his appearance and
figure are good, his attire is too plain, right? Did he go from rags to riches?
“Mackenzie, I–I came to pick you up. I happened to pass by a flower shop and
saw this bouquet of roses. They looked nice, so I bought them… I wonder if
you like them?” Emmanuel’s face flushed as he stood at the base of the
stairs, looked up, and held out the flowers to his wife.
It was his first time giving flowers to a woman, and even more impressive
was that he gave them to the icy goddess. He feared she would decline,
which would be awkward, so he was incredibly anxious!
As expected, Mackenzie didn’t accept the flowers and uttered coldly, “Hmph,
you liar!”
Uh! He was caught off guard because he hadn’t anticipated his wife to
respond this way. This response did not appear in Rhea’s written suggestions
to him….
Chapter 568
“You’re not going to admit it, huh?” Mackenzie looked at the dumbfounded
Emmanuel and ruthlessly exposed his scheme. “First, you and Lexi conspired
and planned this surprise without telling me! Second, the purchase time on
the card clearly indicates that you purchased them this morning! Emmanuel,
this is premeditated!”
Caught by his smart wife, he smiled awkwardly.
Unexpectedly, she snorted coldly and commanded, “What are you standing
there for? Won’t you open the car door for me?”
“Oh, right!” Emmanuel hurriedly went to open the rear door.
However, Mackenzie furrowed her eyebrows. What a clueless man! Why
didn’t he open the front passenger door? Does he not want me to sit beside
him? While still fuming, she walked over to the Maserati and saw that the
back seat had been transformed into a stunning, all–white special seat. The
design was not only grand, but it also had a sense of purity!
Seeing her surprised expression, he felt a sense of accomplishment. After
that, he scratched his head and smiled. “Mackenzie, do you like the exclusive
seat specially made for you?”
Actually, the script prepared by Rhea wasn’t like this. It was more like, “Do you
like the seat specially made for you, my queen? From now on, you’ll be the
only queen in our household!”
Nevertheless, it struck him as too cheesy, and if he said a line like that, he
wouldn’t be Emmanuel anymore.
Despite the line losing half its impact, his wife still found this naturally clueless
man with a slightly romantic side endearing. It wasn’t cheesy, and it had a
touch of authenticity.
“Did you come up with this?” Mackenzie didn’t immediately get in the car but
stared at him and asked.
“Uh, no!” Emmanuel scratched his head again, this time laughing awkwardly.
“A female friend taught me. I hope it doesn’t make you feel awkward.”
Just as I suspected! She didn’t know who his female friend was, but she had
a sneaking suspicion it was Lexi. Just great! How dare she teach my man to
do such cheesy things? Still, it feels quite nice!
“Considering your effort, I won’t offer any commentary now. Just don’t come
up with so many tricks next time!” Mackenzie reprimanded Emmanuel and
then climbed into the car, where she crossed her legs like a queen and
rested her hands on the sides of the seat. Surprisingly, this seat is quite
comfortable!
As clueless as he was, he had no idea about a woman’s contradictory nature.
Moreover, he did not anticipate his wife would be pleased, as he believed she
would not approve of his actions.
As Emmanuel escorted the beautiful CEO into the car, the security guard, as
the only witness, finally closed his hanging jaw and exclaimed, “Wow, even a
man who punches above his weight can succeed in pursuing a girl with this
method?” He wondered if he should learn a thing or two and pursue Miss
Beatrix from the Quillen family. While everyone liked the icy goddess, he
preferred a lively and energetic beauty like Beatrix!
Although Mackenzie got into the car, she didn’t initiate any conversation with
her husband throughout the journey.
On the contrary, he drove without hastily bringing up any topics of
conversation.
Soon after, they returned to the Yociam Residence. As Mackenzie entered the
house and headed to the bedroom, Emmanuel gently grabbed her wrist.
“Mackenzie, I need to talk to you!”
However, she gently shook off his hand, and when she looked back at him,
her eyes radiated a cold and icy light.
What’s going on? It seems like she’s still angry!
“Emmanuel, Claudette’s life had been saved, right?” At this instant, Mackenzie
didn’t want to listen to whatever Emmanuel had to say. She still had that
anger inside her, and if he couldn’t appease her tonight, she would make him
sleep outside in the cold!
Chapter 569
Hmph!
“Yes, she’s awake!” Emmanuel answered with a smile but noticed Mackenzie’s
expression seemed even colder now. Strange, why does she seem even less
happy? “General Lenoir has promised not to compete with the Quillen family
for the energy market and won’t engage in any business rivalry with you
anymore,” he quickly added the main point.
“I know,” she replied with the same icy coldness.
Due to her grandfather’s financial backing, she wasn’t afraid of the Lenoir
family. In the long run, the Quillen family would not be the ones to suffer, but
as the company’s CEO, she would be slightly more exhausted.
Ultimately, her husband reviving Claudette brought mixed feelings for her.
Sigh, a new invincible rival in love will emerge! What should I do? Oh well, I
should deal with the Sarah situation first.
Immediately after, Mackenzie handed her phone to Emmanuel.
While unsure of his wife’s intentions, he froze when he looked at the phone,
and his face turned slightly pale too. Finally, he understood why his wife was
so cold and angry.
“How do you explain this?” She sat on the couch, crossing her legs. With her
arms folded, she gave off an aura of a frosty CEO interrogating a
subordinate.
“How do I explain?” Emmanuel laughed bitterly, spreading his hands. “This
actually happened. Sarah was bitten by a snake in the wilderness. I couldn’t
just leave her alone.”
Mackenzie was angry at his response. How could this man have the audacity
to speak so boldly? Fortunately, her sharp gaze observed his sincere
expression, and she knew he wasn’t being deceitful. “Then, why did she go to
the wilderness with you?” She pressed on with her line of inquiry.
“I was going to Eastern Star Mountain to see my master, and coincidentally,
she wanted to find a medicinal herb called Verdant Bloom for her mother. We
happened to meet there…” He gave her a full rundown of what happened.
Suddenly, he frowned and added, “There were only the two of us at the time,
so who could have taken those photos and videos?”
After hearing this, she sneered, her lips curving into an attractive arc. “Now
you know what kind of woman Sarah is, don’t you?”
He was taken aback when he learned this. Despite the overwhelming
evidence in front of him, he still had trouble believing Sarah was such a
deviously manipulative person! In what way was she able to foresee my
arrival in West Shelter Village and set up this elaborate charade? Also, that
arriy
friendly charm she showed toward Amy… Could that also be an act?
“Avoid communicating with her in the future, understood?” Mackenzie
demanded directly. She could forgive Emmanuel for this incident since Sarah
intentionally threw herself at him, and Emmanuel had admitted there had
been no sexual encounter between them.
After making up her mind to trust her husband, she would no longer dwell on
this matter. However, if it were to happen again, she definitely wouldn’t be
able to accept it!
“Well-” His voice trailed off slightly.
As she took in his apparent uncertainty, her glare sharpened. I’ve already put
the past behind me, giving him a way out, but why does this man still want to
be involved with Sarah? It doesn’t matter if she is his sister–in–law or just
some random girl; he should sever ties with her!
“Mackenzie, I can promise to keep my distance from her, but I can’t
completely cut off contact with her,” Emmanuel responded rationally.
He could end things with Sarah for Mackenzie’s sake, but he couldn’t change
the fact that she was his wife’s sister. Due to Sarah’s assistance in caring for
Amy and the guardian of West Star Village, he could not completely cut off
contact with her.
Since it was not in keeping with his nature to lie, he had no intention of doing
so now to make his wife happy.
After hearing this, Mackenzie’s anger reached a boiling point, and she
pointed toward the door. “Fine, since that’s the case, get out! Sleep outside in
the cold tonight!”

“Mackenzie, this-” Emmanuel was a bit exasperated. Although he had
endured harsher conditions in the Northern Region before, was it necessary
for them to have such a feud on New Year’s Day?
“Get out!” His wife stood up and angrily pushed him, saying, “Go find your
Sarah. If you want to be with her, forget about being with me. You can’t have
your cake and eat it too!”
“Mackenzie! I–I didn’t-” He wanted to explain but realized his wife was serious.
Hence, he dared not resist and could only let her push him out of the door.
“Sigh…” He let out a long sigh, but he wasn’t mad at his wife because he could
sympathize with how she felt.
I still think she’s the best out there because any other woman would most
likely grab a broom to hit me or throw a durian at me, and we might even be
discussing divorce right now. I should give her time to calm down before
property conversing with her.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel rubbed his hands together as he descended the
stairs, pondering the impossibility of sleeping outdoors in this miserable
weather. Maybe I should go home and figure out how to make it up to her
tomorrow. After all, Rhea is an expert in emotional matters, so I could seek her
advice!
However, before he could decide, his phone suddenly buzzed with a
notification. After that, he clicked on it and read it while smiling ear to ear.
‘Come up!‘
It was a message from Mackenzie.
Emmanuel quickly looked up, and with his exceptional vision, he saw his wife
peering down at him from the seventeenth–floor window. Heh! So, she
thought I would sleep on a park bench or something!
He made it up to his home quickly, and she opened the door as soon as he
knocked. However, she said coldly, “Don’t think I’m calling you back to sleep.
I’m just hungry and want something to eat. Make me food!”
“Okay! No problem!” Smiling, he nodded in assent. He knew his wife hadn’t
had dinner yet, so he would prepare a lavish meal for her. In the meantime,
he would take advantage of her good mood to improve their relationship.
He probably didn’t know how to cook before, but men had an innate desire to
make their wives happy, so he probably picked up cooking at some point.
At this moment, while Emmanuel was busy preparing the meal in the kitchen,
Mackenzie took the opportunity to sneak a peek at the doorway. Seriously! I
just want to let this man make a simple meal, but he wants to prepare a
feast?
Unfortunately, he saw through her attempt to sneak a peek and turned
around to catch her in the act.
She was slightly ashamed of herself.

Just as she was about to say something, he preemptively said with a smile,
“Mackenzie, why don’t you go take a hot bath? There will be a delicious meal
-waiting for you upon your return!”
However, Mackenzie quickly pretended to be cold and arrogant. “Hmph, who
said you could boss me around? I only allowed you to come back and cook,
but after eating, you still have to go outside and freeze!” After saying this, she
quickly walked away.
When Emmanuel saw his wife acting like this, his heart skipped a beat. I never
expected my tough CEO wife to have such a soft side. She is so adorable!
She might say, “Who said you could boss me around,” but she followed his
suggestion and took a comfortable hot bath. Then, when she emerged from
the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, she discovered a table laden with
steaming hot food. “You’re wasting so much! Why did you make so much?”
she said, although her mouth was watering, and she almost drooled.
This guy used to be a gynecologist, right? How did he become such a skilled
cook?
“I want to fatten you up so that fewer men will be interested in pursuing you!”
Emmanuel casually remarked, causing Mackenzie to blush.
He had just spoken his mind, but seeing her reaction, he suddenly realized
that he might have unintentionally said something cheesy. What a fool I am!
When did I become like this?
