The bodyguard nodded respectfully, after which Mackenzie turned around
and walked away.
Emmanuel still followed behind her, expressing a slight apology. “Mackenzie,
did I escalate things and trouble you again?”
“It’s not your fault.”
Although she didn’t want to make a big fuss out of the situation, she didn’t
blame him either. It was all the fault of those scum from Hubert for bringing it
upon themselves. How did they dare to play dirty tricks on the Quillen family?
At this point, whatever plans the Verkade family had in mind, the Quillen
family was ready to face them head–on.
Fortunately, Beatrix did not know her sister’s plan. Otherwise, she would have
loudly accused her sister of being biased. Why was it that when she caused
trouble, her sister blamed her, but when her brother–in–law caused trouble,
she didn’t blame him at all?
Mackenzie intended to return to the banquet, but an assistant butler hurriedly
approached her in the corridor. “Bad news, Ms. Mackenzie! Mr. Lenoir is
causing a scene outside. Our people are having trouble restraining him!”
“That guy again!”
She frowned and quickly descended the steps.
The Lenoirs were not invited to this banquet because they and the Quillen
family had been at odds in the business world recently. Mackenzie also
assumed that the Lenoirs had some sense and wouldn’t shamelessly show
up like the Verkades!
However, she miscalculated when it came to Quintus.
“Let me in, or I’ll be nasty!”
At the entrance of the estate villa, Quintus was causing a commotion and
conflicting with the Quillen family’s bodyguards, behaving like a street ruffian.
Although the bodyguards stationed at the Quillen family estate were no
ordinary individuals, his strength was simply too formidable!
He was like a rampaging rhinoceros. Seven or eight people couldn’t even
stop him. Instead, he threw them all to the ground.
“Haha, is this all the ability the Quillen family’s guards have?” Quintus clapped
his hands in satisfaction as no one was able to hinder him:
He hadn’t planned to come. It was only halfway through that he found out
Mackenzie was going to announce her relationship with Emmanuel publicly
tonight!
How can I allow that? Once such a matter is settled, I will no longer have a NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
chance to pursue her! That’s why I have to come and challenge Emmanuel!
At all costs!
Just as he was about to forcefully enter the Quillen residence, an old man
appeared before him without a sound.
He wore a grayish–blue robe; his eyes were squinted as if he were half
asleep. Yet, he said, “Who said the Quillen family had such limited ability?”
“M–Mr. Grishaw!” Quintus, who had just been gleefully clapping his hands,
suddenly froze in place, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
When did this old man appear before me? I didn’t notice at all!
If the other party intended to harm him, he might already meet with disaster.
Emmanuel was surprised to see this scene as he walked out with Mackenzie.
It was rare to witness Quintus displaying a fearful expression.
Mr. Grishaw is indeed hiding his true capabilities!
“Quintus, do you have a death wish?” Mackenzie walked briskly over, her face
ice–cold as she stared at him.
Quintus became even more scared, scratching his head and laughing loudly.
“Haha, Mackenzie, you knew I was coming, and you immediately came to
greet me? I’m so delighted!”
Emmanuel couldn’t help but roll his eyes upon hearing such shameless
words. “Get lost!”
She couldn’t be bothered with his nonsense. “There’s nothing left to discuss
between the Quillen, Lenoir, and Verkade families. If you don’t know what’s
good for you and cause trouble in the Quillen family, your fate will be the
same as Hubert’s!”
“Hubert? What happened to that scum?” He blinked curiously, wondering.
There was a hierarchy of disdain even among the upper class. Quintus
looked down upon those playboys who only knew how to eat, drink, and have
fun.
Before Mackenzie could answer, a group of bodyguards emerged, dragging a
few scantily dressed men along.
Quintus fixed his gaze and saw that one of them was none other than Hubert!
Well, I’ll be damned!
He was shocked, quickly covering his behind, thinking how ruthless the
Quillen family was. They used such an unscrupulous method to deal with
Hubert!
