Chapter 20

Chapter 20  “Mr. Webber, I know you and your friends need the income, but these are two different matters. Terence Group shouldn’t be the one paying for this.” The veins on Samuel’s head popped when he heard that. Just then, Emmanuel suddenly said, “However, our boss empathizes with you and is willing to pay three million to be friends with all of you.” “W–What-” Samuel’s pupils dilated. He was moved by what he heard. Even his subordinates exchanged glances delightedly. They never expected the boss of Terence Group to be so particular. Alas, they were blissfully unaware Emmanuel had secretly reduced their payment. In fact, they were gladly calling Emmanuel their friend. It was a typical scenario of being grateful to someone who betrayed them. “Very well. We shall be friends with Terence Group. Come on! Let’s have a toast!” Samuel gave Emmanuel a toast. It was clear the former had submitted himself to Emmanuel. “Cheers!” As a former soldier, Emmanuel had no fear of hard liquor. At the same time, Samuel’s subordinates were loyal people. Seeing how generous Emmanuel was, they toasted and praised him for being a good person. Samuel grew wary as he watched Emmanuel down glass after glass of hard liquor with no problem.

Thus, it was only normal that he was walking like that. Sheldon was taken aback when he saw the beautiful woman with slender legs standing before him. He could neither tear his eyes away from her nor budge an inch the moment he saw her face. Never did he expect to find someone more beautiful than Elena. When Emmanuel saw Sheldon suddenly stop in his tracks, he slowly looked up and noticed Mackenzie’s presence. He shuddered and sobered up a little. The two said nothing and merely stared at each other in silence. Although Sheldon was clueless about their relationship, he could read the room. Immediately, he backed away. In the meantime, the four bodyguards dared not approach without Mackenzie’s order. Suddenly, Emmanuel lost his balance. Mackenzie instinctively rushed forward to help him up.

They knew about Mackenzie’s misandry, and she rarely shook hands with men. Hence, the sight of her holding up a man with one hand was a strange occurrence to them. Not only that, but Mackenzie even threw them a look, indicating for them to leave the next second. Chapter 20 Emmanue!
