Chapter 218
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 218
âItâs getting late, Emmanuel. We should go home.â Mackenzie turned to
Emmanuel when she saw Abellyn rendered speechless and trembling.
At the sight of that, Jayden couldnât help but feel envious. What kind of
relationship does this man have with Ms. Quillen? Is he a personal bodyguard
or a driver? But he doesnât seem like either.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel secretly gave Mackenzie a thumbs up. My darling is
truly amazing, not wasting a single unnecessary word. In just two minutes,
she completely subdued the vicious and cunning Abellyn.
Moreover, Mackenzie never thought of asking him to persuade Ryder to get a
20
divorce. The final decision would naturally be left to Ryder so that he wouldnât
blame Emmanuel for any regrets in the future.
âWell, Ryder, goodbye then,â Emmanuel said, following Mackenzie as they
-departed.
âTake care.â Watching their graceful and swift figures, Ryder was filled with
envy and admiration. Having a wife like Mannyâs would make every man in
the world envious.
At the same time, Abellyn didnât care about her parents anymore and quickly
left the house in a dazed state, hurrying to find her sister.
When Chloe heard what happened at Ryderâs home, she was also
incredulous. âIsnât Emmanuelâs wife too formidable? She actually hired Mr.
Castro?â
âYes! I donât know what her identity is or how wealthy she is. Iâm no match for
her at all, Chloe. Only you can help me now.â
âDonât worry. Iâll think of something.â While Chloe comforted her little sister, she
wasnât very confident herself because she didnât dare compete with
Mackenzie. It seems that I can only speed up dealing with Zane. By then, even
if she divorced Ryder and couldnât get much, it wouldnât matter.
:
In the blink of an eye, it was already Friday evening, and coincidentally, Mackenzie had a business engagement tonight, so she didnât need
Emmanuel to pick her up. Fortunately, he didnât have much to do at his
partâtime job today, and he got off work at 8.00PM. Of course, Beatrix played
a role in this.
Driving the Maserati, he went to the agreed location and picked up Terence
before going to the auction.
He had thought it was a smallâscale auction with only one item being
auctioned. More accurately, he had no concept of the environment he would
be in tonight because he had never been a part of the upper class. So, after
he got out of the car with Terence, he was stunned by the palaceâlike
building in front of him.
âGrandpa, did we come to the wrong place?â He stared at Terence with wide
eyes. Although he didnât know what it was like to be in the upper class, he
wasnât stupid. Things sold in buildings that looked like palaces were definitely
beyond his affordability.
âHaha, weâre at the right place. Donât worry. Although it looks fancy, the items
being auctioned are not expensive at all. Relax.â
Despite Terenceâs reassurances, Emmanuel couldnât relax. How can I relax?
Everyone around me is dressed so elegantly. If I had known that tonightâs
venue was so upscale, I would have at least worn the suit that Mackenzie
bought for me. I would have felt better. However, everyone assumed that he
was Terenceâs driver, so no one dared to look down on him.
âOld Mr. Quillen! Welcome! How are you?â Soon, someone at the entrance
recognized Terence and quickly approached. Gradually, more people came,
squeezing Emmanuel to the side.
Seeing this scene, he was taken aback. I didnât know Mackenzieâs grandfather
had such a wide social circle. It seems like everyone here knows him. Is he
close friends with the owners here?
