A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO Novel Full Episode

Chapter 71

Meanwhile, outside Pink Zone, two cars pulled up in haste and stopped

right in front of the entrance.

Two professional bodyguards opened the car doors, and Mackenzie

hurriedly led Beatrix into the bar.

More precisely, Beatrix was running after her long-legged cousin.

Seeing those imposing beauties, even Rat and Samuel didn’t dare to

recklessly approach them as it was apparent at first glance that the two

were ladies from wealthy families.

Milani was curious to see who had arrived and attracted everyone’s

attention.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t tall enough, and Mackenzie was moving too fast

for her to catch a glimpse.

Lexi had asked her again about Emmanuel’s whereabouts. Still, Milani

thought even Lexi’s advent wouldn’t stir such a huge commotion. So, who

is it?

Emmanuel was still inside the room, thinking about how to establish

contact with Yoel.

Seeing Xylie’s tattered clothes, he gentlemanly took off his coat to drape it

over her.

Unexpectedly, just as he removed his outerwear, the door to the private

room was opened from outside.

Emmanuel was dumbfounded when he glanced behind him. “M-Ms.

Quillen? Why are you here?”

Mackenzie wore an icy expression. Instead of answering him, she stepped

right into the room.

Beatrix also walked in and saw the scene. Shifting her eyes onto her

enraged cousin, she couldn’t help but tease, “Wow! Even the greatest men

couldn’t resist the charm of beautiful women. It seems like you must be an

exceptional man since the ladies wouldn’t stop enticing you.”

Emmanuel quickly glared at her. “Ms. Beatrix, you better watch what you’re

saying!”

“Hmph. An exceptional man? Why do you insist on flattering him? Does a

shameless man like him deserve such a compliment?”

Beatrix was astounded the moment Mackenzie spoke.

She had never seen Mackenzie insult someone so ruthlessly.

More unexpectedly, Mackenzie was behaving like a completely different

person from her usual self. “Emmanuel, I must’ve been an utterly horrible

person in my past lives to have met someone like you. Even wild animals

would refuse to feed on your corpse if a jerk like you died!”

Emmanuel could only smile wryly. He had known Mackenzie to be an

indifferent woman. Only today did he witness her true prowess in chiding

others. She curses without using vulgar words and with such eloquence.

She’s truly a capable woman!

Not to mention Emmanuel, even Beatrix had never seen that side of

Mackenzie after being alive for twenty years. It is no wonder why

Mackenzie is so furious. It’s already so late at night, yet Emmanuel is still

hanging out at a bar. It’s one thing for him not to come home late at night

but to undress and prepare to get into bed with a bar hostess? Can he be

more shameless?

Mackenzie had always thought Emmanuel was a gentleman, which was

why she didn’t despise him as she did toward other men. She was even

ready to follow him home.

Unfortunately, his reputation had plummeted that day.

She wasn’t going to go home with a man who was out gallivanting.

“Calm down. Calm down! Maybe things aren’t as you imagine.” Beatrice

held Mackenzie back, but her eyes darted from Xylie to Emmanuel. A look

of amusement spread across her face. Who would’ve thought that

Emmanuel is not only unforgiving to men but also to women? He even

ripped this gorgeous woman’s clothes to pieces. If Mackenzie had entered

a little later, the scene would’ve been even more spectacular, right?

“Calm down?” Mackenzie laughed. That’s right. I don’t even know why I’m

so angry. But when I barged into the room, I saw a man and a woman

alone inside. The woman’s clothes were in disarray, and the man was

undressing. Evidently, the two were about to engage in fornication. There

wasn’t even a need for an explanation to figure out what was happening.

This man is my husband, and he’s cheating on me, so how can I stay

calm?

5/5

“Ms. Quillen, hear me out. Things aren’t what you think.” Emmanuel waited

for her to finish scolding before finding an opportunity to explain.

“Ha! Sc*mbag!”

Chapter 72

Mackenzie wasn’t interested to listen to his explanation. She delivered a

tight slap across his face, then turned to leave.

Beatrix was stunned. Indeed, those who aren’t involved will always be

more clear-minded. Mackenzie is pissed off at him and has lost her

composure!

1

“Hear me out, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel grabbed Mackenzie’s wrist.

Despite getting slapped across the face, he was determined to clear

things up.

Xylie panicked and sat on the bed silently. This girl is so beautiful. What’s

her relationship with Emmanuel? They look like a couple, but why did he

address her as Ms. Quillen?

“Hmph! You have thirty seconds to explain yourself. Let’s see what excuses

you can come up with.” Mackenzie couldn’t shake him off. This man is so

strong and brazen! Not a single man has dared to grab my hand in the

twenty-seven years of my life.

FIT

“That’s right! Hurry up and make up a story-I mean, explain yourself. Who

knows? If it sounds convincing, we might believe you!” Beatrix was eager

to stir the pot. Although she said she might believe him, she didn’t mean it.

“I came to the bar because I was figuring out ways to fix the logo for the

company. This just happened by accident!” Emmanuel told the truth.

“Wow, that’s a refreshing way to brag.” Mackenzie didn’t believe him.

She turned around and left.

Beatrix stuck out her tongue at Emmanuel and followed suit. Emmanuel is

done for!

“Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel chased after them. At that moment, he couldn’t

be bothered about the project or Xylie. I’m doing all this to bring Mackenzie

home! Yet, she’s dumping me. Mom will be so disappointed! Also, I’ll

embarrass myself in front of Uncle Chester and Uncle Benny tomorrow!

The company’s project doesn’t concern me anymore.

In order to lose Emmanuel, Mackenzie told her driver to speed up and take

shortcuts on the road. I have to get home as quickly as possible and lock

the door to prevent that man from ever coming in!

3/5

“Please driver faster and catch up with the woman’s car in front!”

Emmanuel urged his taxi driver.

However, the driver turned around slightly and advised, “You can’t force

someone to love you back, my friend. Why are you stalking the woman? If

things go south, you might end up in jail!”

“Stalk?” Emmanuel was livid. “That’s my wife! Cut your nonsense! I’ll give

you two hundred if you can catch up.”

“Your wife? Sit tight, my friend!” The driver floored the accelerator when he

heard the money offered.

However, there was no way a taxi could catch up with Mackenzie’s luxury

car.

The distance between the two cars grew wider, and her car was soon out

of sight.

Right then, an MPV suddenly appeared from a dark alley, forcing

Mackenzie’s car to stop.

The screeching sound disrupted the peaceful night.

“Don’t you know how to drive?” Mackenzie’s driver wanted to give the

MPV’s driver an earful, but all of a sudden, a few burly men were seen

exiting the Mercedes-Benz.

Mackenzie’s driver was terrified when he saw that the men were armed

and up to no good. He quietly went back into the car.

“Mackenzie, what’s happening? It seems that these men have been

targeting us. Are they trying to rob us?” Beatrix asked.

“Don’t worry. I’m here.” Mackenzie then ordered the driver, “I’ll get out of the

car in a while. Drive away and find a safe spot to call the police!”

“No way, Mackenzie! What about you?” Beatrix wanted to convince

Mackenzie otherwise, but there was already a commotion outside.

“Get out! Get out!” the leader of the men, who was dressed in black,

shouted and broke the car window with a metal rod.

Clang!

Shards of glass flew everywhere, injuring the people in the car.

Chapter 73

Two more men appeared behind the car and smashed the rear

windscreen mercilessly with hammers.

“I’m scared, Mackenzie!” Beatrix had never been in a situation like that

before, and she was hugging Mackenzie in fear.

“Reverse the car!” Mackenzie commanded the driver. She was as cool as a

cucumber despite the dangerous situation they were in.

When the driver reversed the car and forced the men behind the car to

retreat, Mackenzie opened the car door and hopped out of the car.

The moment she alighted, the men surrounded her, giving the driver the

chance to bring Beatrix to safety.

However, a car showed up from behind and blocked their escape route.

Mackenzie thought it was the enemies, but upon taking a closer look, she

saw Emmanuel in the car..

“What a fool!” Mackenzie fumed. He’s blocking Beatrix’s escape route!

What an incompetent man!

Mackenzie was enraged, but she didn’t have time to reprimand Emmanuel

because a few burly men were charging toward her.

Mackenzie swiftly grabbed one of the men’s hands and broke his arm.

Mackenzie’s driver was stunned when he saw her defeating the man in a

single move. He turned and glanced at Beatrix, who was trembling in fear.

They grew up in the same household, no? Why are they so different?

Beatrix knew what was on his mind. She thundered, “What are you looking

at? Mackenzie and I are just different!”

Meanwhile, Mackenzie had defeated three other men.

Right when she thought she had defeated them, she felt her heart skip a

beat because she realized someone was attacking her from behind.

She tried to turn around and stop the man, but she failed.

2/9

The man was quicker than her, and he managed to counter all her moves.

Shit!

Mackenzie was certain that the man was a trained murderer, and she was

no match for him.

1

Noticing that Mackenzie was at a disadvantage, Beatrix screamed, “Watch

out, Mackenzie!”

The man suddenly grabbed her wrists, and Mackenzie was too weak to

break free. There and then, she saw a metal rod swinging toward her. He’s

going to kill me! The metal rod is coming nearer, and I can’t dodge it!

Beatrix knew Mackenzie was in grave danger, and she was horror-struck.

Thud!

At that critical moment, a strong man shielded Mackenzie and held the

metal rod with one hand.

“Emmanuel!” Mackenzie was shocked. He looks so brave and cool! He

doesn’t look like someone who would cheat on his wife!

“How dare you hurt my wife? I’ll kill you!” Emmanuel roared domineeringly.

“Fool!” The man was angered. He let go of Mackenzie’s wrists to swing his

metal rod at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel caught the metal rod with ease.

Mackenzie was stupefied. I couldn’t even break free from the man, but

Emmanuel has just handled him with ease!

Emmanuel threw a punch and sent the man flying away. The punch was

so powerful that the man’s teeth shattered on the spot.

“Wow! That’s so cool!” Beatrix, who was watching from inside the car,

clapped excitedly.

Needless to say, Beatrix was no longer worried or anxious. Emmanuel is so

powerful! What a man!

The rest of the burly men knew they were no match for Emmanuel when

they saw him fight. They abandoned their fallen friends and quickly

returned to their car.

“Don’t let them run!” Mackenzie ordered and went after the burly men.

Emmanuel felt helpless when he saw that. I knew my wife was an

indifferent woman, but I didn’t know she was this tough.

Yet, Beatrix saw it coming. Mackenzie will go after those who mess with

her!

“Be careful!” Emmanuel suddenly shouted.

He had been on the battlefield, so he could sense danger from miles

away.

When the burly men in the car saw Mackenzie chasing after them, they

threw daggers at her.

Mackenzie was caught by surprise.

Emmanuel pounced on her and pushed her to the ground.

5/9

Fearing that Mackenzie would get hurt, he swiftly got under her to cushion

the fall.

The burly men fled and didn’t dare to fight back because they were

stunned by Emmanuel’s fighting skills and aura.

“Hey, are you all right?” Mackenzie sat up and shook Emmanuel’s body.

“M-Ms. Quillen… could you promise me that you will come home with me

to see my mother tomorrow?” Emmanuel held her hand tightly and stared

at her passionately.

“How could you ask that question at a time like this?” Mackenzie clenched

her teeth, worried that the daggers might’ve hit him.

“P-Promise me you’ll come home with me!” Emmanuel stammered. Mom

has already prepared everything. If Mackenzie were to reject me now,

Mom would be utterly disappointed! Heck, Mom might not be able to take

-it-emotionally!

“I didn’t say I wasn’t going back.” With that personality of hers, Mackenzie

would never promise him anything directly.

Emmanuel chuckled upon hearing that. She’s right. She never said she

wasn’t going back with me.

“Haha! Let’s get out of here!” Beatrix said to the driver, knowing Emmanuel

wasn’t injured. Emmanuel did that to scare Mackenzie! If Mackenzie finds

out about it, he’s doomed!

“Ms. Beatrix, won’t Ms. Mackenzie get angry if we leave now?” The driver

didn’t dare to drive off.

7/9

“Are you not scared about pissing me off? If we don’t leave now, we’ll be

playing gooseberry!” Beatrix glared at the driver. “If you don’t drive away

now, I’ll fire you tomorrow! If you leave now and Mackenzie reprimands you

tomorrow, I’ll defend you. Don’t worry!”

Only then did the driver dare to speed off.

Mackenzie didn’t know the driver had already driven off. She hurriedly

reached out to touch Emmanuel’s back. What? This is sweat instead of

blood!

Perplexed, Mackenzie looked around and saw three daggers on the

ground. None of the daggers hit him!

“You! You were pretending!” Mackenzie didn’t expect Emmanuel to pull

such a trick on her. I never knew he was a sharp-witted man because he

seemed so innocent! He fooled me! One truly can’t judge a book by its

cover!

“I wasn’t pretending!” Emmanuel laughed. “I was merely panting because I

was tired!”

“Go to hell!” Mackenzie stood up, stomped her feet, and turned around to

leave. What? My car is gone! Damn it! I’ll give Trixy a piece of my mind

when I’m back.

Seeing that Mackenzie’s car was gone, Emmanuel dashed toward her. “I

didn’t say I was hurt, did I?”

Mackenzie snorted coldly and turned away. I’m not in the mood to talk to

him!

“By the way, should we call the police? Do you know who sent those men

to attack you?” Emmanuel asked.

“Of course I do.” Despite deciding to ignore Emmanuel just a few seconds

ago, Mackenzie answered immediately, “It must be Gautier!”

Chapter 74

“The Verkades’ company is our company’s bitter rival. They couldn’t bear

to see us completing our project, so he wanted to get rid of me! If I died,

they could snatch the project from us!” Mackenzie deduced confidently.

Emmanuel couldn’t help realizing something. It seems that Mackenzie will

only use derogatory terms to address me. Judging by the look in her eyes,

I can tell that she’s pissed off at Gautier. Yet, she didn’t address him the

way she would address me. Does she really hate me that much?

“What are you waiting for? Get a taxi and let’s go home!” Mackenzie kicked

Emmanuel. He’s so dumb! Was he waiting for me to get a taxi?

Instead of doing what she told him to, Emmanuel asked, “How about the

logo for our project? I did all that at the bar to get the craftsman from

Cloud Construction to finish the job!”

Only then did Mackenzie learn about the truth. It seems that this

gynecologist wasn’t there to cheat.

.

Chapter 74 Mackenzie Is Falling For That Man

Mackenzie had thought Emmanuel was fooling around with Xylie because

Xylie looked innocent and pretty. However, she changed her mind upon

hearing how sincere Emmanuel sounded.

“Are you seriously thinking about forcing that man back to work and

completing the job by tomorrow?” Mackenzie was amused.

Emmanuel nodded firmly in response.

Mackenzie wanted to laugh at him, but she held back her laughter.

Although he’s a bit dense, he’s a serious man.

“Forget about it. Send them the original picture again and tell them to

complete the job as soon as possible!”

“Uh…” Emmanuel was confused. “How about the ribbon-cutting

ceremony?”

2/5

“Well, I’ll deal with that.” Mackenzie was full of confidence because she had

dealt with countless issues and knew she could easily solve the

aforementioned problem.

Soon, Emmanuel hailed a taxi and accompanied Mackenzie back to

Yociam Residence. However, he remained in the car upon arriving at the

residential area.

“Hey! Where are you going?” Mackenzie was annoyed. I never liked people

waking me up from my sleep. It’s already past midnight. Where does this

man think he’s going?

3/5

“I’m going to look for Mr. Larson. You’ll be safe now that you’re home. I won’t

be coming home tonight. Sleep tight!”

With that, Emmanuel told the driver to drive away.

“What a fool!” Mackenzie was enraged. No one has ever dared to defy my

orders! I’ve already told him to set the matter aside, but he won’t listen!

Forget about it. It’s not like he can settle the issue.

To her surprise, she was told the next day that Cloud Construction had

completed the job, and the logo was fixed.

Mackenzie was in a meeting when she received the news. She was

shocked, and she couldn’t help smiling.

Although the smile on Mackenzie’s face vanished within a second, Beatrix

noticed it. No! Why does it seem like Mackenzie is falling for that man?

After the meeting, Mackenzie drove back to Yociam Residence. When she

opened the door, she found Emmanuel sleeping on the couch. He’s

snoring! He worked through the night, didn’t he?

Mackenzie furrowed her brows because she hated men who snored in

their sleep.

At the same time, she knew that she could touch him to stop him from

snoring or even wake him up.

Mackenzie approached him unhesitatingly and lifted her arm. However,

she lowered it once again.

In the end, she merely frowned and let Emmanuel sleep.

Evidently, Emmanuel was in a deep sleep, and he only woke up the next

morning. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was sleeping with a

blanket over his face.

575

He sat up at once and saw Mackenzie attending to her houseplants on the

balcony. I must admit that she’s very talented and artistic. All of her plants

are pleasant to look at.

Apparently, Emmanuel was also feasting his eyes on Mackenzie. She was

dressed casually in white. At that moment, she looked like an angel, and

he was mesmerized.

Chapter 75

Emmanuel only regained his senses when he saw Mackenzie sweeping a

glance at him. Wait a minute. No matter how beautiful she is, she’s still a

cold woman!

“Why did you cover my face with the blanket? It’s not like I’m dead!”

Emmanuel asked.

Mackenzie glared at him and continued attending to her plants. “You were

snoring so loud. You’re lucky I didn’t kill you!”

I don’t know about others, but I know Mackenzie is more than willing to kill

1. Emmanuel stood up and felt how chilly it was. “Thank you!”

It was the start of autumn, and he was merely wearing a thin shirt. Without

the blanket, he could’ve caught a cold.

Mackenzie feigned aloofness and replied, “Why are you thanking me for

trying to kill you?”

“Thank you for agreeing to return home with me! My mom must be

forked tongue. That’s a bad habit.

Mackenzie frowned and kept mum upon hearing that.

“I’ll wash up and we can leave soon.” Emmanuel went to wash up, taking

Mackenzie’s silence as consent. We’ve been staying together for a while

now. I’m slowly learning the key to communicating with Mackenzie.

“Let’s just drive my car!” Mackenzie was ready to go as soon as Emmanuel

was done washing up.

Mackenzie was so pretty that she didn’t even need to use makeup. With

just a new set of clothes on, she looked even prettier than most women

with makeup on.

That also changed Emmanuel’s views on women because he had always

thought women needed a long time to get ready to leave the house.

“My family lives in a rather underdeveloped area. I’m afraid your car will

attract too much attention!” Emmanuel knew Mackenzie had a convertible

Maserati that was worth over three million. That was the car he saw during

the wedding.

Mackenzie let out a cold snort. I’m already driving the cheapest car to look

poor!

Emmanuel hadn’t seen the limited edition sports cars Mackenzie kept in

the mansion.

“Just drive my car!” she demanded.

“All right!” Emmanuel didn’t dare to disobey Mackenzie because he feared

she would change her mind at the last minute.

The moment the two left Yociam Residence, a private detective staking

out at the residential area immediately reported back to Terence.

Terence was thrilled when he heard the news from the private detective.

“Yes! This is awesome! I’m having a great-grandchild soon!”

When he forced Mackenzie to marry Emmanuel back then, he‍had been

Chapter 75 Chicken

worried that Emmanuel might not be able to deal with Mackenzie’s

temper. That was why Terence was surprised to learn that Mackenzie was

willing to follow Emmanuel back to his home.

I knew it! Emmanuel is a capable man! Terence hung up the phone, put on

some simple clothes, and ordered his driver to drive him out. Today, I’m

presented with a golden opportunity to meet Emmanuel’s parents and

strengthen the relationship between Emmanuel and Mackenzie!

There was no parking space in front of Emmanuel’s house, so they parked

the car on the side of the road leading to the residential area.

After alighting from the car, Emmanuel took a chicken, a duck, a bag of

gifts, and a bag of fruits out of the trunk and walked toward his house.

Mackenzie had mysophobia, so she felt disgusted after sniffing her trunk. I

knew nothing good would come from getting married. Why do we need to

bring food back to his family?

“Let me carry something as well.” Mackenzie didn’t want Emmanuel to

carry everything because others might have a poor impression of her.

4/5

“Huh?” Emmanuel was flattered beyond words. Did she offer to help? She

has never offered to do anything for me.

“Here’s a chicken for you!” Emmanuel conveniently handed her a chicken.

Mackenzie regretted her decision right away. Why didn’t he give me the

gifts or the fruits instead? Why did he give me the chicken?

Chapter 76

“Mom, we’re home!” Emmanuel exclaimed in excitement before walking

through the door.

Upon hearing the voice, everyone in the room immediately stood up.

Alessandra and Roselynn were undoubtedly the most anxious.

Alessandra, who usually had difficulty walking, seemed to be moving

swiftly at that moment.

Even Roselynn could not catch up with her at all.

“Quick, let’s catch a glimpse of Manny’s wife!” Jack Lowe exclaimed.

Jack was Benny’s son and Emmanuel’s cousin.

Benny had made a fortune from his business, so his financial success

allowed his son to lead a lavish lifestyle and indulge in vices like drinking,

gambling, and fooling around. He particularly had a strong interest in

women.

However, his eagerness to bring his wife to see Emmanuel’s wife had

nothing to do with her beauty.

All this while, he had always looked down on Emmanuel. I highly doubt a

twenty-eight-year-old with an annual salary of eighty thousand can

marry a woman of high quality. His wife must be an older, unsophisticated

country bumpkin.

Jack felt his other half would be in stark contrast to Emmanuel’s wife. My

stunning wife, with her flawless complexion and irresistible figure, is a

constant source of pride for me!

He was eager to see Emmanuel’s reaction when he saw his wife. I want to

know how he feels when he compares his wife to mine! I bet he’ll be

envious of me!

However, Jack’s jaw dropped in astonishment when he saw Mackenzie

walking in with Emmanuel. Oh, my! Is such beauty even real?

All the other family members were just as stunned.

Even Ryder’s six-year-old son couldn’t contain his excitement and blurted

out, “Daddy, Uncle Manny’s wife is so pretty! She’s even prettier than Uncle

Jack’s wife. She’s more beautiful than Mommy too!”

The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.

Emmanuel’s gaze shifted to his cousin, Ryder Lowe, and his wife, Abellyn

Sheppard.

Emmanuel knew Ryder, with his easygoing nature, would not be fazed by

the remark. However, Abellyn was known for her pettiness. Emmanuel

worried she might harbor resentment toward Mackenzie due to their son’s

words.

“Hi there, I’m Jack. I’m Manny’s cousin!” In the next moment, Jack let go of

his wife’s hand and enthusiastically approached Mackenzie with a

beaming smile, wanting to shake her hand. I’d be honored to hold the

hand of someone as stunningly beautiful as her!

Jack could not help but opine that his wife’s skin could not hold a candle

to Mackenzie’s flawless complexion. I wonder how smooth her hand is.

To his disappointment, Mackenzie did not extend her hand for a

handshake. She simply nodded in acknowledgment before casually

placing the chicken she was holding on the ground.

As the CEO of Terence Group, she could tell a person’s character at one

glance.

The fact that he had withdrawn his hand from his wife and reached out for

hers revealed his lack of decency.

Jack’s expression turned sour as he witnessed Mackenzie’s arrogance.

Being attractive doesn’t give you the right to treat others with disrespect!

“Hey, you’re Mackenzie, right? It’s great to see you here! You didn’t have to

bring the chicken, but we appreciate it.” Alessandra finally caught up. She

reprimanded Emmanuel, “What’s wrong with you? How could you get your

wife to carry the chicken?”

Emmanuel responded with a wry smile.

Roselynn quickly came to his defense. “Mom, you’re being unfair. Didn’t

you notice that Manny has his hands full carrying all these things?”

“But it’s still inappropriate for him to ask her to carry the chicken!”

Alessandra exclaimed.

Alessandra’s comment struck a chord with Mackenzie. Look at what your

son did to me! I almost got pecked by that chicken!

As the esteemed CEO of Terence Group, Mackenzie believed she had

demonstrated her utmost respect by not releasing the chicken halfway

and instead disposing of it in the courtyard upon their arrival.

“Come on in!” Alessandra warmly invited them to enter the house, but she

did not dare to touch her daughter-in-law.

Although Alessandra was thrilled to see Mackenzie and desired to build a

closer relationship with her, she sensed Mackenzie’s aloofness, which

made her hesitant to approach her too closely, fearing that Mackenzie

might not appreciate physical contact.

Chapter 77

Seeing everyone gather around Mackenzie while ignoring him, Emmanuel

could not help but let out a bitter smile.

As he entered the room and set down the things he was carrying,

someone suddenly called out to him from behind, “Manny!”

“Yes, Ryder?” Although Emmanuel was considered naïve in Mackenzie’s

eyes, he was intelligent and perceptive enough to sense that his cousin

seemed troubled from the frown on his face.

“Manny, do you have any extra money to spare?” Ryder, being

straightforward as always, did not beat around the bush.

“What’s wrong? Are you experiencing financial difficulty?” Despite

Emmanuel’s own financial difficulties, primarily owed to Mackenzie, he was

willing to assist his cousin if asked for a loan.

With a long-standing good relationship since childhood, Emmanuel

understood that his cousin would not make such a request unless he was

in dire need of financial assistance.

“It’s Abellyn. She got involved in a poker game and ended up

accumulating a debt of eighty thousand!” Ryder’s voice was filled with

despair. He was almost on the verge of tears.

Earlier on, he had tried to borrow money from Jack but to no avail. He had

no choice but to seek Emmanuel’s help.

“That’s a huge sum! Who did she play poker with?” Emmanuel was taken

aback, realizing that he might not be able to assist with that amount.

“She played with some wealthy second-generation entrepreneurs. It’s all

my fault. I should have done more to prevent her from getting caught up

in that mess.” Ryder sighed, blaming himself with deep remorse.

Emmanuel was aware of Ryder’s family’s financial situation. Despite

having a similar monthly income to his own and being an

average-looking man, he had managed to marry a stunning woman.

Rumors circulated that his wife had been engaged in occupations of

dubious decency in the past, but Emmanuel had never looked down on her. He just wanted them to lead a happy life.

After marrying Ryder, Abellyn not only engaged in gambling but also

indulged in shopping, which resulted in a worsening financial situation for

the family.

The fact that she owed such a large amount of money to others only

added to the disastrous situation they were facing.

3/5

Ryder’s experiences had influenced Emmanuel’s views on marriage to

some extent, and it was one of the reasons Emmanuel had decided not to

get married.

“When is the latest deadline for repayment?” Emmanuel asked although

he could not offer immediate assistance.

“They said if we don’t pay up today, they’ll take my wife to a bathhouse to

serve men and earn money to pay the debt!” Tears of exasperation

almost gushed out of Ryder’s eyes.

Chapter 77 Good Samaritan

Despite his wife’s extravagant spending habits, Ryder still loved her dearly.

Their child was six years old. The thought of his wife being forced to work

at a bathhouse and accompany men weighed heavily on Ryder. It would

not only disgrace him but also cast a lifelong shadow over their son.

4/5

“Today?” Emmanuel was in a dilemma. With time running out, he could not

think of any other solution besides borrowing from Mackenzie.

However, considering the substantial amount of money he had previously

borrowed from her, he found it difficult to ask for more.

“Do you think you can help, Manny? You’re the only one I can turn to for

help now. If you want me to kneel before you, I will!” As Ryder spoke, he

was ready to get down on his knees.

“No, please don’t!” Emmanuel immediately helped him up.

“What are you doing, Manny? Why did you leave your wife alone out

there?” Suddenly, Roselynn’s voice came from the living hall.

Noticing the absence of Ryder and Emmanuel, Roselynn had a strong

intuition about where they might be. She, too, wished to lend Ryder a

helping hand, but she doubted she could.

She also had concerns that Emmanuel’s desire to be a Good Samaritan

might put a strain on his relationship with his wife.

“I’ll be out in a minute!” Emmanuel responded. He then turned to Ryder.

“Calm down, Ryder. I’ll figure something out for you, but I need to go out

and accompany my wife now.”

Ryder let out a sigh before nodding. “Yeah, you should. I’m so sorry, Manny.

I shouldn’t have burdened you with this on your special day.”

Chapter 78

Emmanuel could not help but sigh when he saw Ryder being like this. “How

about you call the creditor? I’ll talk to him.”

After all, they were family. Ryder was six years older than him. Ryder had

taken care of him when they were younger and had even given him

pocket money.

All of that was still fresh in Emmanuel’s mind.

Emmanuel knew that Ryder would never ask him for help if he was not left

without a choice.

“All right! I’ll make the call now.”

Ryder quickly found the number and dialed it.

To Emmanuel’s surprise, the other party was extremely arrogant. He

refused to give an extension no matter how much Emmanuel tried to

convince him.

“You brat! Do you know who I am? My dad is the CEO of Yanberg Group!”

Emmanuel was familiar with it since he lived in Yeringham. Yanberg Group

was a small, local business with some prestige in Yeringham.

However, it was a far cry from a leading enterprise like Terence Group.

“Hey! You still have to be reasonable no matter who your dad is!”

Emmanuel was not one to be easily intimidated, and he asserted, “We’ll

find a way to pay back the money Abellyn owes you, but poker debt is not

protected by the law. You won’t get out unscathed if you insist on using

violence.”

The other party was infuriated by his words. He yelled, “You want to talk

about the law, huh? I’ll show you what it means to be unruly.”

Immediately, the other party hung up the phone.

Ryder panicked even more. “Manny, you can’t talk to them in that manner.

Shawn is influential in Yeringham and has connections with the officials

and underground circles. We won’t be able to handle it if he decides to

deal with us.”

Emmanuel handed his phone back and patted his shoulder. “Let’s take it

one step at a time. I will do everything I can to help you.”

“Manny, what’s taking you so long to put some items?” Alessandra’s voice

came from the outside.

I can’t believe Manny! Why isn’t he staying by his wife’s side when he

brought her home for the first time?

Alessandra thought Emmanuel’s wife was shy, as she did not speak to

anyone else.

“I’m coming!” Emmanuel hurried to the living room.

He saw Mackenzie sitting on a single-seater couch in the living room. She

was exuding an extremely frosty aura that prevented anyone from

approaching her.

The members of the Lowe family felt that she was not easy to get along

with, and no one dared to approach her for small talk.

Only Jack still refused to give up. He tried to sneak up on her and strike up

a conversation.

Mackenzie had misandry. She felt even more irritated and disgusted with

married men like Jack who tried to approach her.

4/6

Mackenzie would have made him pay if it were not for the fact she was at

her in-laws’ house that day: She merely ignored him and quietly moved to

a bigger couch.

Jack’s eyes lit up, and he wanted to take this chance to sit next to her.

However, Emmanuel went ahead and sat next to Mackenzie. He said with

a smile, “Jack, I heard you and your wife are planning for a second child.”

Given that they were cousins, Emmanuel was undoubtedly familiar with

his personality.

Jack had begun gallivanting in his teenage years and played around

without committing to anyone. He only married his wife because she was

pregnant.

Besides, Jack’s wife married him when she was barely twenty.

It would be weird for him not to like a stunning woman like Mackenzie

when even Emmanuel’s heart had raced wildly when they first met.

“Emmanuel, why are you suddenly bringing this up?” Jack was obviously

upset, and he went to sit on the single-seater couch.

At least that pretty lady just sat here. It must still have her fragrance.

However, Ryder’s son, Tommy, skipped happily and sat on it first.

“What are you doing? Why are you interrupting when adults are talking?

Get lost!” Jack shouted. His tone scared Tommy, and Tommy quickly

leaped up from the couch.

Tommy was barely six years old, and he started crying after being yelled

5/6

Tommy instinctively ran toward Emmanuel and Mackenzie since his

parents were not in the living room..

“Come here. Sit next to me.”

Chapter 79

Emmanuel was astounded that Mackenzie had actually taken the

initiative and asked Tommy to sit next to her.

He was even more shocked to see that Tommy was not scared of

Mackenzie and was even addressing her in an intimate way.

Mackenzie seems different today.

Jack was so livid that he sat on the couch and lit a cigarette.

“No smoking!”

Mackenzie finally spoke to Jack for the first time.

Jack, who always behaved in an unruly manner, shuddered as soon as

she spoke.

He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar upon meeting Mackenzie’s cold

gaze, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Roselynn was helping Alessandra in the kitchen, but she rushed out when

she heard the commotion.

The rest of the people, who were in the other rooms, also gathered

around.

“Jack, can’t you behave yourself?” Roselynn seldom reprimanded Jack,

but she spoke up because Emmanuel’s wife was here today. “There are

children and women in the living room. Go outside to smoke if you want

to!”

“F*ck! What’s the big deal?” Jack immediately got up to his feet and

deliberately took out his BMW key, seething with anger. “I’ll go outside and

smoke in my car, okay?”

Clearly, this was a tactic for Jack to pick up girls.

He had previously tried this method before, and it had been effective.

After all, some women liked fornicating in a BMW.

3/5

Jack felt that Mackenzie could have been a prostitute in the past since she was willing to marry a loser like Emmanuel despite being extremely beautiful. She must have been tired of her job and wanted an honest man.

Maybe she’ll approach me eagerly after I flaunt my wealth.

In the next moment, Jack’s expression froze, and he quickly put away his

BMW car keys.

This was because Mackenzie had calmly jingled her Maserati car keys.

Mackenzie kept it out of sight from the others, but she made sure Jack

saw them.

She had seen many men like him.

How laughable to flaunt a mere BMW worth a few hundred thousand!

Damn it! How is she so rich?

Jack was shocked. Did she rent a car to show off for this occasion?

At this moment, someone let out a hearty chuckle outside the door.

“Excuse me, is this Emmanuel’s house?”

Mackenzie was startled by this voice.

No way! Grandpa came too!

Emmanuel immediately went to open the door. Terence was standing

outside.

Even though Terence’s butler had driven the cheapest car here today, it

was a Land Rover worth over two million.

Jack lost all his drive after seeing this and did not have the guts to go

outside and smoke.

“Old Mr. Quillen, why are you here? Did Mackenzie ask you to come?”

Emmanuel was over the moon. He did not dare to invite her family and felt

it was good enough for Mackenzie to come with him.

“Haha! Why are you still calling me Old Mr. Quillen?”

Chapter 79 The Arrival Of Terence

Terence lightly tapped Emmanuel, who was behaving like a blockhead,

with his cane.

The Quillen family did not have a young man in their present generation

despite being a large family, so Terence felt particularly close to his

grandson-in-law.

“Grandpa, please come in!”

Emmanuel snapped back to reality instantly and invited Terence into the

house.

The very next moment, Alessandra and Roselynn also came forward to

welcome him.

Alessandra did not know who Terence was. She beamed widely and

warmly held his hand. “Welcome! You must be Mackenzie’s grandfather.”

Then, Alessandra turned her head and scolded, “Manny, why didn’t you tell

me earlier that Mackenzie’s family was coming?”

Chapter 80

Emmanuel rubbed his nose while discreetly looking at Mackenzie, who

was seated in the living room.

She never told me about this.

Mackenzie was playing with Tommy. She pretended not to notice the

man’s stare.

The next moment, another woman-who seemed about thirty years old-

went through the main door.

She was tall and elegant. Not only was she beautiful, but she looked

somewhat similar to Mackenzie as well.

“Are you Mackenzie’s sister? You’re so pretty!” exclaimed Alessandra

instantly.

Even Roselynn and the others agreed with her, saying she had the aura of

a noblewoman.

Despite that, Roselynn could see that the woman seemed young because

of high maintenance. In actuality, she guessed that the latter was no less

than forty-five years old.

”

Mackenzie looked up and was shocked to see the woman.

Similarly, the woman was stunned upon seeing the current state

Mackenzie was in.

My daughter, who’s always been aloof since she was young, is playing

with a kid now. Oh, what would our family think if I took a picture of this and

sent it to them? This would most definitely cause an uproar.

Fortunately, she did not see Mackenzie carrying the chicken earlier.

Otherwise, she would laugh for three days straight.

Bursting into hearty laughter, Terence uttered, “Everyone, let me introduce

you to Mackenzie’s mother, Felicity Lenoir.”

Only then did Felicity smile at Alessandra and Roselynn.

“Nice to mee you. You look really young!”

Alessandra heaved a sigh internally. If we were to go out together, people

would think she’s my daughter. Heck, I bet people would even believe it if I

said she’s my granddaughter!

Roselynn also sighed in secret. Comparison is so annoying. Manny’s

mother-in-law does look the same age as me. Remaining young is a feat

only rich people can do. Are they really not Yeringham’s wealthiest family?

“Hello, Mother!” Emmanuel hurriedly greeted, to which Felicity merely

nodded in response.

Truth be told, she did not want to come to this lower-class area, but since

Terence was already here, as Mackenzie’s mother, she had to show up as

well. Otherwise, Terence would definitely be unhappy.

However, now that she met her son-in-law, she could not conceal the

disappointment in her eyes.

How could someone like him match up to my graceful daughter? What

Emmanuel and his family enthusiastically invited Terence and the other

two inside. Other than Terence and Felicity, Wilson, the Quillen family’s

butler, was there as well.

Of course, Terence did not introduce Wilson as their butler, but as one of

the uncles in the family. After all, they had to act poor to match

Mackenzie’s status in the Lowe family.

Even so, immense jealousy and hatred already filled Benny and Jack.

How did Emmanuel land a wife with such a good family background?

Jack had thought Mackenzie was an aloof person who slept with rich men

for money and then marry a naïve man so she could take control.

However, his idea of her changed after he saw her grandfather and

mother.

This family exudes a distinctive noble aura.

“Please have a seat. I’ll go prepare the dishes,” said Emmanuel to

Mackenzie’s family while readying himself to go to the kitchen.

“All right.”

Terence grew fonder of Emmanuel. His granddaughter had never done

any chores, so she needed to have someone who could cook after

marriage.

Felicity’s view, however, differed from Terence’s. She was born into an

affluent family and later married into the Quillen family. She had always

had everything provided to her. To her, men should utilize their abilities in

the outside world instead of inside the house.

It was a pity that Emmanuel was a mere lower-class person. He was not

supplied with enough knowledge and skills to make him a prominent

figure in the business world.

5/6

Moreover, in the world of the upper class, it was customary for the

sons-in-law to kneel and serve their mothers-in-law during their first

meeting. However, it was evident that such a rule did not exist in the world

of the lower class.
