"What? Where did you go just now?" Mackenzie inquired casually after noticing her sister had disappeared for a while.
"Hehe! I went to help you spy on a cheating husband,
of course!"
"What?"
Mackenzie frowned, and her gaze instantly became icy
cold.
When Beatrix saw her sister's reaction, she appeared
scared on the outside, but she was ecstatic on the
inside. The stronger her reaction, the more important
that man is to her!
If it were any other man, Mackenzie would not be
bothered to spare them a glance even if he was
hooking up with other women in public, let alone show
any expression.
What exactly is that man capable of? I can't believe he
can make my sister care about him.
However, to Beatrix's disappointment, Mackenzie
merely frowned for a second before walking away with
an expression of indifference.
On the contrary, the former pouted, thinking it was not
fun, and ran after her. "Mackenzie, are you just going to
condone that man's behavior?"
Mackenzie pretended to find it funny. "We agreed when
we married that it was all for show. Hence, I don't care
if he cheats on me, let alone picks up girls!"
Naturally, she hoped that Emmanuel would cheat.
When that happened, she would have a legitimate
reason to get a divorce, and Terence would have
nothing to say about it.
"Is that so?"
Beatrix was a shrewd girl, and having lived with her
sister for so many years, how could she not know her
well?
She won't even bother to explain herself if she truly
doesn't care.
Moreover, she could easily tell that Mackenzie's
carefree smile was fake.
For a woman with my sister's personality, pretending to
smile carefreely is already very telling. She genuinely
cares about that man on the inside! Hehe! Maybe this
is the power of marriage?
"Then I'll go to that man again, say you don't care, and
let him continue what he's doing!"
With that said, Beatrix deliberately turned around and
ran.
However, she had only run a little when she found
herself stuck in the same spot. It turned out that
Mackenzie had grabbed her from behind.
"Come back. You'd better mind your own business!
Otherwise, I'll get Grandpa to give him to you!"
Mackenzie's tactic worked as Beatrix immediately stuck
out her tongue and gave in.
The latter had just turned twenty and did not want to
be tied down by love so soon.
After the two sisters finished chatting, Mackenzie
continued socializing with the business elites but
became a little absent–minded.
Even she found it very strange. Why do images of
Emmanuel chatting and laughing with other women
keep appearing in my mind?
Before the banquet was over, she felt disinterested and
left the venue.
When she returned to Yociam Residence, she found
that the house was pitch–black.
She glanced at her watch and saw that it would be
eleven o'clock in twenty–five minutes. Emmanuel still
isn't back yet?
"D*mn it!"
Mackenzie was furious. She hated nightlife and disliked
others disturbing her sleep at night even more.
My sleep will be disrupted if Emmanuel returns too late.
A woman's complexion will suffer if she doesn't get
enough sleep.
Indeed, she had already explained clearly to herself
that the reason for her anger was not because he was
picking up girls outside!
When that man comes back, I must set some rules for
him!
She was not expecting him to step into the house not
long after she entered it.
"Eh? You're back so late too?"
Seeing that Mackenzie appeared to have just returned,
Emmanuel took advantage of the situation and asked,
unaware that the two had attended the same banquet
that night.
Mackenzie felt even more frustrated. She could
rightfully set rules for him if he had returned after
eleven o'clock, but now, she could not vent her anger.
"I will never return home after eleven as I must rest
before that. Got it?"
"Uh… Understood!"
Emmanuel nodded, but he felt that she seemed angry.
Why do I feel like her words carried a hint of hostility?
"Where did you go tonight?"
Mackenzie pretended to inquire casually in the next moment, but her gaze was sharp. Let's see how he responds.
"What's the matter? Are you going to check up on me from now on, Ms. Quillen?" Emmanuel casually joked. After all, Mackenzie had never asked him where he had
gone in the past.
Mackenzie clenched her fists involuntarily, but she
released them the next moment and said with a grim
smile, "I don't have time to check on you. I just wanted
to let you know that you are not permitted to return
home after eleven in the future, even if you are dating
another woman. Otherwise, just don't come back!
Understand?"
Emmanuel found it odd as he nodded. Why do I keep
feeling that she meant something else? But I didn't go
out with any woman tonight!
Mackenzie felt even more upset when she saw that he
made an excuse to avoid answering her question. It
looks like this man is truly hiding something from me.
Sure enough, men are trash. They are primitive
animals that can't control their lower body!
However, after having that thought, she felt that it was
not right. Although he's having an emotional affair, he
hasn't done so physically, so he's not considered a
failure to control his lower body. Even if I wish to expose
him in front of Grandpa, I don't have any evidence at
the moment.
Ding!
Ding!
Just then, Mackenzie received a few messages on her
phone.
She assumed it was for work, so she took out her
phone without any hesitation.
Only after unlocking the phone screen did she realize
that they were images sent by her sister.
All of them were photos of Emmanuel and Roselynn
chatting and acting intimate at the banquet earlier
that night!
Emmanuel glanced at the photos inadvertently and
immediately froze.
It took a while before he spoke. "Didn't you say you
don't care who I was dating? But you sent someone to
follow me and take pictures?"
Mackenzie lifted her head and looked into his eyes. To
her surprise, she did not know how to explain it.
"I didn't arrange this!" she responded after a long while.
However, after explaining, she felt that something was
wrong again. An icy glint shone in her beautiful eyes,
and her embarrassment turned into anger. "How dare
you act so intimate with another woman after getting
married?"
"Why can't I? That's the woman I love the most! What's
wrong with me attending the banquet with her?"
Emmanuel asked, sounding amused.
"You…"
Mackenzie had the urge to kick him viciously away at
that moment.
One truly can't judge a book by its cover. He looks
gentlemanly, yet he's actually so shameless! I can't
believe he said that he loved another woman the most
in front of his legal wife!
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you arranged it!"
When Emmanuel saw Mackenzie was truly enraged, he
only smiled and said frankly, "However, please send a
more professional detective the next time. This one
only takes pictures and videos of me and my sister.
What a waste of phone memory!"
"Your sister?"
Mackenzie was taken aback. She suddenly felt a little
embarrassed.
My sister misunderstood and went to spy on my
husband, but she ended up making a fool of herself by
taking intimate photos of my husband and his sister.
And+just got angry about it…
"That's right. Her name is Roselynn Lowe. Would you like
to see her ID card?"
As Emmanuel said that, he unlocked his phone, which
contained the electronic copy of his sister's ID card.
"How boring!"
Mackenzie did not look at it and turned around, 4
wanting to slip away.
That topic had embarrassed her too much.
Who am I? The indifferent CEO of Terence Group, a
woman who is publicly acknowledged to have
misandry! If the news of tonight's incident spreads, it
can surely scare someone to death.
"By the way, Ms. Quillen. Are you related to the
wealthiest family in Yeringham, the Quillen family?"
Mackenzie wanted to leave, but Emmanuel interrupted
her by asking that question.
I must find out the truth!
She glanced back over her shoulder but did not speak.
This woman is stunning, especially in an evening gown
tonight. A simple glance at her back is already
breathtakingly beautiful. If it was captured on film, it
would be a stunning blockbuster that would
undoubtedly make countless hearts flutter when
shown on the big screen!
Emmanuel forced himself to look calm and continued,
"My sister and I went to the banquet tonight, and I
heard that the eldest daughter of the wealthiest
family, the Quillen family, was also there. Doesn't
Terence Group belong to the Quillen family? You share
the same surname, so could you be related to her?"
Mackenzie found it oddly amusing. I can't believe he
hasn't figured out my identity. That's strange. Why do I
have a sense of accomplishment? It's like playing a
high–level Werewolf game where one gets a thrill from
successfully hiding one's identity and securing the final
victory.
"Of course we are related!"
"Really? What kind of relation?"
"She's my boss!"
"Uh…"
It was Emmanuel's turn to be stunned.
For some reason, Mackenzie felt proud of herself. I
finally get to trick him back. We're even now!
However, he suddenly let out a sigh. "Thank goodness
you're not from that family," he said.
"You don't want me to be the richest man's daughter?"
It was Mackenzie's turn to be curious. He doesn't want
his wife to be rich? Is it a deliberate disguise?
"Of course, I don't," Emmanuel said sincerely. "I already
feel pressured when I get along with you now!"
"Oh? You feel pressured?"
Mackenzie was intrigued and wanted to know how he
felt when he was with her.
t
"Yes. Men will surely feel pressured if they earn less
than women!" Emmanuel replied honestly. "If you are
also the richest man's daughter, I may be more
cautious when getting along with you in the future!
Fortunately, the gap between us is not that big, and if I
work hard, I might still be able to catch up with you!"
Pfft!
Mackenzie could not resist chuckling.
Oh, my… This man with an annual salary of eighty
thousand said he wants to catch up with me!
"What are you laughing at?"
Emmanuel felt that her smile was humiliating to him.
"I'm not looking down on you, so please do your best!"
After saying that casually with a chuckle, Mackenzie
turned and left the hall.
It would be eleven o'clock soon, and she must take a
bath and rest before that. She must not disrupt her
schedule.
However, she could still hear Emmanuel talking behind
her. "I knew you're not the eldest daughter of the
Quillen family. People say that she's a lesbian. Besides,
if she's so rich but remains single at the age of
twenty–seven, she must be ugly!"
You b*stard!
Mackenzie clenched her fists discreetly. I can't believe
he thinks that I'm ugly. Hmph! Sure enough, he's not
that bright!
Emmanuel could not help but frown and ask when he
saw Mackenzie turning around and heading straight
into the bathroom, "Are you going to take a bath?"
"Obviously!"
Mackenzie's frosty voice rang out from the bathroom.
Why would I enter the bathroom if not to take a bath?
To eat?
"I don't believe you brought any clothes. Do you intend
to wear the same clothes, or do you intend to walk out
naked?"
After his kind reminder, the bathroom door opened
again in two seconds, and she walked out with a
murderous look on her face.
In the past, she was too used to going into the
bathroom to take a shower without bringing her
clothes, and she would come out with just a towel
draped on her after her bath.
The night Emmanuel went to The Paradise, she still did
that!
However, she forgot that he was at home that night.
"By the way, what do you do with your changed
clothes?" Emmanuel took the opportunity to ask, since
he had not seen her drying her clothes in the past few
days, let alone changing her clothes.
"What are you trying to do?"
Mackenzie just happened to be leaving the room with
clean clothes, so she could not help but be wary when
she heard his question.
She heard that many men like to take women's change of clothes, especially undergarments.
This man can't be setting his sights on my change of clothes to do something funny, can he? she thought.
