Chapter 81
Everything was so casual here that Felicity inevitably felt irritated.
Nevertheless, she was not like the typical mothers-in-law who would
underestimate their sons-in-law in the novels. While she did not think
highly of Emmanuel, she would not say it aloud or make it obvious.
On the contrary, Mackenzie enjoyed the customs of the Lowe family. If she
was asked to kneel and serve Alessandra, she would absolutely refuse to
do so.
Discreetly, she studied her mother, yet she could not read the latter’s
expression.
While the atmosphere was lively in the house, a commotion also occurred
outside.
Since Ryder had no interest in socializing with his cousin’s family, he
stayed near the main gate. Right at this moment, Shawn made an
appearance with his men.
Without beating around the bush, Shawn questioned, “Ryder, is your wife
going to pay up today?”
“We will! We’ll definitely pay you back! But today is my cousin’s happy day.
Could you show us some mercy and give us a few more days?” Ryder
begged while clasping his hands together.
With a sinister laugh, Shawn replied, “Sure! Just let me sleep with your wife
for a few nights.”
“N-No! I can’t let that happen!”
“No? If she doesn’t pay up, I can just make her a hostess in a bathhouse.
What do you think your wife was before? Some virtuous woman?” taunted
Shawn as he smiled coldly.
His words pierced right through Ryder’s heart.
Truthfully, he knew what his wife did before marriage, but that did not
matter. As long as she did not get intimate with other men after marriage,
he was willing to endure any hardships and work tirelessly to support his
family.
Not,daring to refute Shawn, Ryder immediately went on his knees. “Please,
I’m begging you. Give us a few more days!”
“Scram!”
Shawn kicked him away and led his men to barge into Emmanuel’s house.
Hearing the commotion, Roselynn opened the door. The Lowe residence
was a self-built house in which the front yard could be seen from the
living room.
“What’s wrong? What’s happening?”
“Get lost. Our business is with Abellyn.”
Disregarding Roselynn, Shawn invited himself and his men in.
While passing the front yard, they kicked and knocked things over to
display their aggressiveness and fearlessness, infuriating Roselynn.
What did Abellyn do to offend such people?
Abellyn was already aware that they would search for her here, so she
had been hiding in the room, not daring to get out at all.
Even so, hiding in the room was no solution since she knew how
unreasonable Shawn could be. He would find a way in sooner or later.
“Why are you guys looking for my mom?” Tommy shouted.
“Hehe, we’re looking for your mom because-”
The vulgar words he was about to say got stuck midway through his
sentence as he noticed Mackenzie.
As they were from the lower class, the Lowe family might not know who
Mackenzie was, but as the son of an influential businessman, how could
Shawn not recognize her?
Thinking they were playing tricks on him, Shawn rubbed his eyes. He
refused to believe that the mighty Mackenzie of the Quillen family would
be in such a run-down place.
However, even after he rubbed his eyes, she was still there.
Regardless of the relationship the Lowe family had with Mackenzie, he
knew he could not afford to cross such a formidable figure. He reacted
quickly by saying, “I’m sorry! I came to the wrong house!”
With that, he hurriedly turned around and left.
Chapter 82
“Stop right there!”
The voice of an older man rang out from behind Shawn.
Shawn felt shivers down his spine as he recognized the voice instantly.
What the heck is going on? Not only is Ms. Mackenzie from the Quillen
family here, but the wealthiest man in Yeringham is here too!
Terence asserted his dominance with a simple command. Shawn
stumbled as he turned around to greet the older man. “Old Mr. Quillen!”
The Lowes were confused when they noticed the change in Shawn’s
attitude. It looks like Old Mr. Quillen holds quite a high position in society.
Fortunately for the Lowe family, they did not know who Shawn was.
Otherwise, they would be even more shocked.
“Oh? You know who I am?”
With one look, Terence could tell Shawn did not accidentally stumble into
the wrong place. He could tell that Shawn and his subordinates were there
to look for trouble, so he wanted to help alleviate the situation.
“Everyone in Yeringham knows who you are…” Shawn’s voice trembled as
he spoke.
In order to play along with his granddaughter’s act of pretending to be
poor, Terence did not expose his identity. He casually said, “Stop trying to
flatter me. Get to the point. What are you doing here?”
“N-Nothing! Ryder and I are good friends! I came in to say hello since I was
passing by!”
Shawn did not dare to say that he was there to collect a debt.
It would only end badly if he offended the wealthiest family in Yeringham
just for eighty thousand.
“I see. Why did you say you went to the wrong house, then?”
A cold glint flashed across Mackenzie’s eyes.
Shawn was trembling non-stop. He was tongue-tied, not knowing what to
reply.
“Since you have no business here, you should leave.”
Alessandra felt annoyed that Shawn had brought so many people to their
home. It was their family’s big day that day, and she did not wish for
others to interrupt the happy event.
Shawn felt relieved when he heard what Alessandra said. What a kind soul
this woman is. He quickly nodded in response and led his subordinates
away.
“Mr. Zeller!”
Ryder had just entered from outside, so he was clueless about what had
happened. He was worried that Shawn would take his wife away, but he
did not expect to see the latter leave so soon.
“Don’t call me!”
Shawn did not want to stay there for a second longer.
“What about the money…”
Ryder was an honest man. He was still thinking about the debt, but Shawn
ignored him and scurried away.
“That’s weird! What’s going on?”
Ryder scratched his head in confusion.
Emmanuel was in the kitchen cooking, so he did not get to check out the
commotion in the living room. When he was done and left the kitchen, he
saw Benny and Jack trying their best to please Terence.
Their family was the only branch of the Lowe family involved in the
business world. They knew how to read the room and adapt to their
surroundings. Even if they did not realize that Terence was from the most
prominent family in Yeringham, they could tell he was rich and influential.
If they could butter up and please Terence and his family, their businesses
would surely blossom.
For Emmanuel’s sake, Terence made small talk with Benny and Jack.
Mackenzie ignored everyone. She chose not to listen to what Benny and
Jack were talking about, much less shake hands with them.
Felicity knew her daughter well and trusted that she had a good eye for
reading people. Those who Mackenzie looked down on were definitely not
good men.
She took out her phone and began swiping through her social media, not
bothering to socialize with Benny or Jack.
Anger flashed across Benny’s and Jack’s eyes when they noticed
Mackenzie’s and Felicity’s arrogance. However, neither of them dared to
speak up about it.
“It’s time for lunch!” Emmanuel yelled. After all, Benny and his family were
still his relatives. He could not bear to watch them get angry with
Mackenzie.
5/6
Emmanuel knew Mackenzie well. If she wanted to ignore someone, it
would be useless for that person to cry and beg for her attention.
Soon, everyone was gathered around two large dining tables for lunch.
Chapter 83
Emmanuel’s and Mackenzie’s families sat at one table, and Benny’s and
Ryder’s sat at the other.
The atmosphere during lunch was quite harmonious.
Mackenzie was not used to such weird dishes eaten by the lower-class
people. How am I supposed to eat these?
She also did not expect Alessandra to take such good care of her. The
latter was enthusiastically serving her food.
Not daring to reject Alessandra’s kind gesture, Mackenzie smiled before
putting down her fork and letting Alessandra pile more food onto her
plate.
Unfortunately, Terence was sitting beside her. He faked a cough and
glanced at her when he noticed she had stopped eating.
176
Mackenzie let out a heavy sigh. She had no choice but to push the plate of
food Alessandra had given her toward Emmanuel.
“Um…”
Alessandra’s face reddened in embarrassment as awkwardness filled the
air.
Emmanuel also felt awkward. He was about to explain when Mackenzie
said, “I’m on a diet. I can’t eat too much.”
Emmanuel knew she was respecting Alessandra by saying that.
“Is that so? But you’re so skinny. What if you end up malnourished?”
Alessandra asked worriedly.
The corners of Mackenzie’s lips twitched in annoyance. My own mother
isn’t worried about me. Who are you to try to control my food intake?
“Mom, don’t you know? Times have changed, and so have beauty
standards. Nowadays, the skinnier you are, the prettier you are. It’s
understandable that you’re oblivious about it since there’s a huge gap
between our generations.” Roselynn hurried to explain to her mother and
2/6
placed ladles beside each dish. She knew Mackenzie must’ve been
disgusted and annoyed by how Alessandra had served her food.
“Haha, I’m sorry for being so uncivilized. I didn’t know about that.”
Alessandra was quick to apologize to Mackenzie.
3/6
“It’s all right,” Mackenzie uttered. Although this mother-in-law of mine likes
to nag, she has an excellent temper. Lucky for me, I don’t have to live with
her. I can still put up with her if it’s just having a meal occasionally.
Roselynn thought it was difficult to get along with Mackenzie, but she did
not mind it too much. She was just worried that Emmanuel would get
annoyed with such a woman sooner or later.
“I can’t wait for Mackenzie and Emmanuel to give me great-grandchildren.
I wonder if you feel the same,” Terence asked Alessandra.
Pfft!
Mackenzie had just taken a mouthful of food. She almost spat it out when
she heard what Terence said.
The smile on Emmanuel’s lips stiffened as well.
It had not been easy for him to persuade Mackenzie to go home with him,
yet now they were asking when they would have kids. That’s a challenging
task that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to complete!
When he thought about it, apart from that one time he accidentally saw
Mackenzie’s body, they had never once held hands, much less moved to
the next level of intimacy.
Will she kill me if our families keep pressuring us to have a baby?
“Haha! Of course I do!” Sure enough, Alessandra immediately tried to
pressure her son. “Manny, you need to work harder. Don’t make Old Mr.
Quillen wait too long!”
Emmanuel could only chuckle in reply before wolfing down his food to
avoid answering any other questions.
“I’m done. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”
4/6
With that, Mackenzie put down her fork. She preferred to leave instead of
staying if that were the topic they would discuss during lunch.
Emmanuel also knew she was at her limit. If they did not leave soon, the
lunch might end on a terrible note.
”
He said, “Mom, Mackenzie and I have other things to attend to, so I’ll go
back with her first!”
Terence had wanted to stop Mackenzie from leaving, but when he heard
she and Emmanuel had something to do, he let them go.
Otherwise, he would have done everything he could to ensure Mackenzie
stayed at the Lowe residence for the rest of the day.
The Lowes were surprised when Mackenzie suddenly got up and left the
dining room.
Emmanuel quickly followed behind her so he could become her driver.
Along the way, neither of them spoke a word. It was then Emmanuel
5/6
received a message.
Chapter 84
Emmanuel did not check who sent him the message since he was driving.
Mackenzie, however, accidentally glanced at the screen and was taken
aback.
The message wrote: Emmanuel, you have my support. You only need to
pluck up the courage and pin Mackenzie down to have your way with her.
If you can give me a great-grandchild and let them have “Quillen” as their
last name, I’ll give you all my life savings!
Mackenzie was rendered speechless when she read the message.
How can there be such a grandfather in the world? How dare he persuade
Emmanuel to take advantage of me by using his life savings as bait? His
life savings are worth at least tens of billions! Impossible! I won’t allow that
to happen! If Emmanuel finds out about this, he’ll definitely come onto me
like a hungry beast!
“What’s wrong?”
From the corners of his eyes, Emmanuel noticed that something was
wrong with Mackenzie. In an instant, his curiosity was piqued. He wanted
to know the contents of the message.
“Don’t you dare look over here!” Mackenzie threatened.
However, Emmanuel was not one of her obedient subordinates. He
argued, “Ms. Quillen, don’t you think you’re too much? That’s my phone.
The message was sent to me. So why won’t you let me read it?”
“I said no!”
Mackenzie wanted to delete the message. Unfortunately, she did not know
the password to Emmanuel’s phone.
“Give me your password!”
Emmanuel chuckled. “Ms. Quillen, we’re just a married couple in name.
Previously, you said I can still have my freedom after getting married.
What’s going on now? Why do you want to check my phone?”
Mackenzie was at a loss. She had no choice but to try being unreasonable.
“Just give it to me. Why do you have to spout so much nonsense?”
3/5
“I can give it to you, but you must first let me check the message!”
Emmanuel pulled the car to the side of the road and held out his hand,
wanting to take back his phone.
He had no secrets. Mackenzie could check whatever she wanted after he
read the message.
Mackenzie furrowed her brows. She did not want to give him back his
phone.
“Ms. Quillen, you are invading my privacy right now.” Emmanuel was
assertive.
Mackenzie gritted her teeth before she threw the phone at him.
Fortunately, Emmanuel was quick to respond. He swiftly grabbed the
phone. This woman looks standoffish, yet sometimes still acts like a wild
child.
He unlocked his phone and tapped on his messages. After reading
through the message, he could not help but burst into laughter.
“Don’t you dare have funny thoughts! Let’s go home!” Mackenzie said
angrily.
Emmanuel shrugged and put down his phone before driving back to
Yociam Residence.
Mackenzie did not speak a word to him as they traveled home. Once they
arrived, she speed-walked to the door and wanted to slam it shut to lock
Emmanuel outside.
However, Emmanuel was fast as he blocked the door from closing. Anger
was boiling within him as he could not help but retort, “You’re being
ridiculous! It’s your grandfather who sent the message! You’re making it
seem as if I really want to pin you down and have my way with you. Have
you ever wondered how much effort it would need for me to be aroused
by your icy expression?”
Mackenzie retreated to her bedroom and did not come out for a long time.
Of course, Emmanuel would not go in to comfort her either. It was true that
their relationship had not progressed that far, and he did not do anything
wrong.
Ultimately, it was just a marriage in name. If Mackenzie did not kick him
out, all other matters were not a big deal.
The evening soon came, and Emmanuel went to the kitchen to prepare
dinner.
The moment he came out, he was greeted by the sight of Mackenzie
sitting on the couch in the living room. She was tapping her fingers
impatiently on the arm of the couch. There were some papers on the
glass table before her, and beside them sat a pen.
“Come here and sign this.” Mackenzie beckoned him over.
“What is it?”
Chapter 85
Emmanuel was curious as he approached Mackenzie.
Mackenzie was a cold and mighty CEO. She never answered such
questions like the one Emmanuel had asked. Instead, she crossed her
arms and leaned against the couch.
Emmanuel picked up the papers from the table and noticed that it was
two copies of the same agreement.
Not only that, Mackenzie had signed them beforehand and even stamped
them with her personal stamp.
Jeez! As expected of an executive of a big business! What a cultured
person! She’s making such a big deal out of this!
The contents of the agreement were straightforward, with only three
conditions listed.
One, both parties were not to engage in sexual intercourse. If Emmanuel
were to touch Mackenzie in an inappropriate manner, it would be
considered marital rape.
Two, both parties were not to share their assets. Emmanuel would not
need to give Mackenzie five thousand every month. Mackenzie would not
ask Emmanuel for rent either. All expenditures would be split between
both parties, and they would only buy what was necessary.
Three, both parties would agree to a divorce in half a year. There would
not be a split of assets. Mackenzie could leave the house for Emmanuel.
2/6
Both Mackenzie and Terence had previously agreed to the deadline of half
a year. Besides, Mackenzie had already thought of a reason for her and
Emmanuel’s divorce: They could not get pregnant, so staying married was
useless.
Emmanuel knew the agreement was advantageous to him. However, he
could not help but feel that Mackenzie was trying to guard herself against
him.
I’ve already clarified that I only agreed to this marriage because of my
mother. Why does it seem that she thinks I married her for her money and
good looks?
3/6
Noticing the frown on his face, Mackenzie said coldly, “Don’t worry. I won’t ask for the money that you borrowed from me. You can consider it my gift
to you after we get divorced. In any case, you shouldn’t harbor
inappropriate thoughts toward me. Don’t treat me as your real wife, either.
More importantly, you should stop thinking about Grandpa’s money. You
and l’are not fated to be together!”
Nothing seemed more appropriate than hearing those heartless words
from someone like Mackenzie.
Emmanuel was not angry. After all, the conditions of the agreement were
not overboard. Before they got married, they had already agreed to the
marriage being fake.
Today was the first time he had brought Mackenzie home, which caused
him to imagine an unrealistic fantasy. Yet now, he felt somewhat upset
because Mackenzie had squashed what little bit of hope he had.
“Ms. Quillen, I’ve never once thought about your money or covet your
grandfather’s money. It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not.
Since you think we’re not a real couple, I won’t give you five thousand a
month if that’s what you want. But I will definitely return the money I
borrowed from you regardless of whether we get a divorce. Also, I won’t
ask for this house from you!” Emmanuel spoke with determination.
4/6
Oddly, Mackenzie felt a stabbing pain in her heart. She had no idea why
she felt that way.
She had expected Emmanuel to get angry or even explode with rage, but
he did not.
“Ms. Quillen, you’re indeed beautiful and have an air of elegance around
you. You’re the most perfect woman I’ve encountered, but not every man
will fall in love with you or covet you! I’m a gynecologist, so I sometimes
wonder if I have erectile dysfunction because I never had any intentions to
take advantage of you. Hence, I’ll sign this agreement!”
With that, Emmanuel reached forward to grab the pen.
Mackenzie was stunned momentarily. She wanted to snatch the pen
away but ended up not doing it.
After Emmanuel signed his name on the papers, his lips curved into a grin.
“Ms. Quillen, I don’t have a personal stamp. Is it all right if I stamp the
contract with my thumbprint?”
Mackenzie was in a daze as she nodded slowly.
Emmanuel bit his thumb before stamping both contracts.
Mackenzie felt uncomfortable as the faint smell of blood wafted to her
nose. She felt her heart sink as she watched Emmanuel.
“I’m done, Ms. Quillen! Oh, I’ve prepared dinner. Do you want to eat
together?”
Emmanuel handed Mackenzie one copy of the agreement before inviting
her to dinner with him.
“No. I’m heading out.” Mackenzie took the contract and got up from the
couch. “No need to wait up for me tonight. Just don’t lock the door from
the inside.”
5/6
Emmanuel smiled. “Sorry, but I’ve never waited for you to come home.”
wanting to ensure a clean break when the time came for their separation.
Emmanuel walked out of the hospital with his medical kit to see a
Rolls-Royce waiting for him outside.
A strange expression crossed Darren’s face when he noticed the
expensive car.
How could Emmanuel afford to buy a Rolls-Royce?
Emmanuel didn’t think much about his ride as he was focused on treating
his client’s condition and earning his deserved pay. He soon arrived at a
private mansion where Claudette was waiting for him alone.
“Ms. Lenoir, you look unwell. What happened?” Emmanuel asked.
“Dr. Lowe, I-I dare not head out today. When I walk, I feel unusually itchy
and painful,” Claudette explained awkwardly as she pointed at her body.
“Please allow me to conduct a physical examination,” Emmanuel
requested, gesturing for her to cooperate so he could assess her
condition.
It wasn’t the first time, but Claudette still felt a bit shy.
Emmanuel checked her body thoroughly and discovered many rashes
throughout her body.
Those rashes were smooth to the touch but felt a little warm.
It was a strange condition.
“Bear with me while I continue my examination.”
“Okay,” Claudette nodded, her cheeks turning pink.
She had to endure his touches to get better.
When Emmanuel examined her, she dared not lower her head to look at
him.
She had been under immense stress due to her condition, and as a result,
she was hesitant to undergo examinations by other doctors, even if they
were female like herself.
However, she was concerned that allowing Emmanuel to examine her
body might be misinterpreted as lacking modesty. That made her feel
internally conflicted.
“Ms, Lenoir, your condition is a result of an imbalance of positive and
negative energy within your body. As I’ve mentioned before, due to your
specific body composition, it is important for you to avoid certain types of
food. I suspect that you might have consumed heat-inducing foods or
those that promote blood circulation, leading to your current situation.”
Upon hearing that, Claudette heaved a sigh of relief.
She felt relieved to know that Emmanuel would never misunderstand her,
even if others might.
The understanding he showed brought her a sense of comfort, and she
immediately felt more at ease.
“Well, I had a craving last night. I ended up eating some king crabs and
drinking liquor. That’s all.”
“You must cut down on eating seafood, and you should avoid consuming
any more liquor. I will write you a prescription. Take the medication for a
5/6
few days, and the rashes will fade away. Make sure to get plenty of rest
during this time,” Emmanuel instructed firmly as he wrote down the
prescription.
Claudette stared at his side profile, utterly transfixed.
6/6
She never considered herself a stunning beauty, but she had never lacked
male admirers since her youth. Many men saw her as a goddess and
showered her with attention.
Chapter 89
However, Emmanuel was the only exception.
He would always examine her body naturally as though she was just a
patient to him, nothing else.
Claudette didn’t know what to think about that.
It was getting late when the consultation came to an end. Emmanuel
grabbed his medical kit and made to leave.
Claudette offered, “Dr. Lowe, let me give you a ride.”
Before Emmanuel could reply, she added cheerfully, “I’ll just sit in the car
without moving. That won’t worsen my condition, will it?”
Emmanuel grinned. “Okay, then.”
They got into the Rolls-Royce and headed back to the Yociam Residence.
Coincidentally, a Bentley pulled up at the entrance when they arrived.
“Stop the car!” Mackenzie quickly ordered her driver when she saw
Emmanuel hopping out of a Rolls-Royce ahead of them.
Claudette then got out of the car, seemingly reluctant to bid goodbye to
Emmanuel.
Mackenzie couldn’t believe he was capable of seducing the heiress of the
Lenoir family!
Meanwhile, Claudette could barely hide her curiosity. “Dr. Lowe, I had no
idea you live in this high-end residential area. Do you live here alone?”
It was clear she wanted to spend more time chatting with Emmanuel.
“No. I live with someone else,” Emmanuel replied honestly.
“Oh, are you living with your girlfriend?” Claudette asked cheerily; her tone
tinged with a hint of anxiety.
Emmanuel was taken aback, not knowing how to answer her question.
Claudette chuckled aloud and deliberately teased, “What’s the matter? Is
it inconvenient for you to tell me about it?”
“Mm, you could say that,” Emmanuel responded vaguely with a curt nod.
He and Mackenzie signed a contract, and they would be getting a divorce
within six months. He didn’t feel like telling others that she was his wife.
Besides, he was also aware that Mackenzie didn’t want her friends to know
that she was already married.
After hearing his answer, Claudette tensed up as bitterness washed over
her.
A while later, she grinned and replied, “I had no idea you have a girlfriend,
Dr. Lowe. I thought gynecologists won’t be interested in women!”
Emmanuel explained solemnly, “Ms. Lenoir, I have no interest in my
patients, let alone harbor any ill intentions toward them. You don’t have to
worry about that.”
The bitterness in Claudette’s heart grew more intense as her smile faded.
“Of course I trust you, Dr. Lowe. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have hired you to treat my condition. I was actually thinking of hiring you as my personal
doctor if your girlfriend doesn’t mind.”
“Thanks for the offer, Ms. Lenoir. However, I’m currently not looking to be
someone’s personal doctor, at least not at the moment,” Emmanuel
declined her offer politely.
“All right, then. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Okay. Remember to get more rest these few days and take the
medication as prescribed,” Emmanuel reminded her.
“Got it!” Claudette flashed a smile and hopped back into her car. The
moment the door closed, disappointment crossed her face.
4/5
It’s surprising to learn that the gynecologist has a girlfriend. It seems that
there are many tasteful women like me out there.
After the Rolls-Royce drove away, Emmanuel walked into the residential
area.
Mackenzie rolled down the window and glanced around as her fists balled
No matter what, he’s still my husband in name. I can’t believe Claudette is
bold enough to show up at our house!
Suddenly, a Mercedes-Benz pulled up behind the Bentley. The young
driver, unaware of her expression, greeted her excitedly, “Mackenzie!”
Chapter 90
The young man behind the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz was dressed in a
stylish and expensive suit. His long hair added to his wealthy and
fashionable appearance.
However, Mackenzie ignored him completely and wound up the window.
She ordered her driver, “Drive into the residential area now!”
“Got it, Ms. Quillen!”
1/5
After Mackenzie got married, she stopped asking the driver to drop her off
inside the residential area as she didn’t want Emmanuel to discover her
identity.
It was clear how much she despised the young man driving a
Mercedes-Benz as she told the driver to drop her off inside the residential
area today.
The young man quickly understood Mackenzie’s intention and parked his
car at the gate, blocking their path effectively.
He then opened the car door and hopped off.
Other than his branded suit, he was also wearing a luxury watch and
accessories.
He looked like an affluent gentleman.
Mackenzie’s driver was both surprised and furious.
‘can’t believe someone is bold enough to block Ms. Quillen’s car.
The young man walked over and knocked on Mackenzie’s window.
To many, it was a rude and provocative gesture.
Mackenzie wound down the window and warned icily, “Hubert, you have
one minute to move your car. If you don’t comply, be prepared to face the
consequences!”
Hubert Verkade was the youngest son of the chairman of Verkade Group.
He was also Gautier Verkade’s younger brother.
He had never taken an active role in running the family business. However,
Mackenzie held a strong contempt for Gautier, and thus her disdain
extended to Hubert as well.
“Mackenzie, I’m here to give you something! Wait up!”
Hubert knew Mackenzie’s character and was already immune to her icy
threats.
He quickly unlocked the trunk to retrieve some expensive herbs and a
bouquet of fresh roses.
After placing the herbs on the ground, he approached Mackenzie with the
bouquet of roses.
“Mackenzie, this is for you!” he said earnestly, offering the roses to her.
Mackenzie merely pinned him with a withering look, showing no signs of
accepting his flowers.
“Mackenzie, I understand that you and Gautier are business rivals and that
you despise him. But I am not him, and he is not me. I genuinely love you! I
3/5
4/5
want to court you!” Hubert’s excitement grew as he continued, “I picked these roses specially for you. I also know about your digestion issues, so I bought expensive herbs to help nourish your health. Please, ask your driver
to accept these gifts!”
Hubert was only twenty-four years old, three years younger than
Mackenzie.
Nevertheless, he had already harbored romantic feelings for her since he
was fourteen.
After their chance encounter at an event back then, Hubert was instantly
smitten by Mackenzie. Love consumed him completely.
Mackenzie might have a cool demeanor and an apparent aversion to
men, not to forget her rivalry with Gautier, but Hubert’s love for her
remained steadfast. He dreamed of marrying her.
-Alas, despite his unwavering determination, Mackenzie was already
brimming with impatience, and disgust was written all over her face.
As he refused to budge, she grabbed the bouquet from him and tossed it
to the ground. After winding up the window, she ordered her driver, “Drive
into the residential area!”
5/5
Her driver panicked. “But Ms. Quillen, Mr. Verkade’s car is blocking our way.”
“Hit his car!” Mackenzie ordered coldly.
“Huh?” The driver was shocked to hear that.
“I said, hit his car!” Mackenzie repeated.
“Okay!”
The driver nodded hastily and promptly floored the accelerator.
Bang!
