Chapter 257

Jamison was dumbfounded!
Emerson’s two lackeys were also shocked. They had planned to bully the
beautiful woman and see if they could take advantage of the situation, but
who would have thought she was a fierce tigress?
Even Emmanuel was astonished!
My wife is so fierce!
He didn’t need to be a hero and save her at all…
”
“The rest of you, will you come at me one by one, or all at once?”
Mackenzie had been in a bad mood these days, and she had been
wondering how to vent her frustration. These people had walked right into her
trap, giving her the perfect opportunity to release her pent–up anger. Seeing
her icy gaze, Jamison retreated in fear, not daring to approach to even help
his father up.
“L–Let’s go quickly!”
Emerson’s two lackeys turned around and ran…
“Cowards!”
Mackenzie didn’t have time to waste on these individuals. She turned around
and left the scene.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel sighed. The father and son from the Cadigan family
were truly disappointing. They didn’t even give him a chance to intervene. It
seemed he would have to find another opportunity to resolve the conflict
with Mackenzie.
The news of the couple’s conflict quickly reached the Quillen estate through
Terence’s arranged informants. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Terence, the old fox, even managed to obtain video footage of Emmanuel
failing to save his wife after sleeping on the bench all night.
“Grandpa, it seems like your plan backfired!”
Beatrix was extremely anxious. She had never been in a relationship, but she
had a deep bond with her older sister. Seeing her sister gloomy and
absent–minded these days made her worry, and she couldn’t even eat or
sleep properly.
It felt as if she had gone through a breakup herself. If it weren’t for fear of
exposing her sister’s identity, she would have wanted to kick her idiot
brother–in–law and warn him to hurry up and make amends with her sister.
“Haha, it won’t backfire! Marriage is just like a business. You have to be
patient!” Terence remained confident.
He was already 70 years old, and he had experienced all sorts of situations.
He always maintained a detached attitude as he saw through the heart of
everything.
If Mackenzie didn’t mention divorce, it meant she still couldn’t bear to leave
that man. The longer the conflict lasted, the greater the chance of
reconciliation. There might even be unexpected gains!
He knew that if he wanted great–grandchildren, he had to take drastic
measures. Beatrix listened with confusion to his reasoning. Stomping her feet
in frustration, she announced, “I won’t listen to you anymore.” Afterward, she
turned and left.
At that moment, Alfred approached respectfully and asked, “Sir, shouldn’t you
intervene and mediate between the young couple?”
“I won’t help them with this matter!” Terence’s eyes contained a faint gleam.
“When it comes to marriage, let them resolve it naturally. I won’t interfere
unless they really want a divorce…”
After finishing work in the afternoon, Emmanuel headed to the headquarters
of Terence Group as usual on his electric scooter to work part–time.
On the way, he received a call from Quintus.
“Emmanuel, we didn’t have enough fun last time. Let’s go out for a drink
tonight!”
“Quintus, I have a part–time job tonight, so I’m afraid I can’t.”
“No? That won’t do! How about this, I’ll introduce you to a super pretty woman
to accompany you for drinks, and I’ll compensate you for the wages you lost!”
Quintus generously said.
Emmanuel forced a smile. He felt quite uncomfortable inside and wanted to
drown his sorrows in alcohol. But he knew very well that getting drunk would
not only fail to reconcile with Mackenzie but might make the situation even
worse!
“Quintus, maybe next time! I’m really not in the mood tonight…”
“What a bummer! Fine, then!”
Quintus hung up the phone and got out of his Range Rover the next moment.
In fact, his call to Emmanuel for drinks was just a backup plan, so it wasn’t a
problem when Emmanuel refused.
Emmanuel arrived at the entrance of the Terence Group building on his
electric scooter just as Mackenzie was leaving the company. He had actually
come to invite Mackenzie out again, and he was prepared to be rejected.
She looked even colder today, and her eyes seemed dimmer than usual.
