Chapter 257

Chapter 257 1 Jamison was dumbfounded! Emerson’s two lackeys were also shocked. They had planned to bully the beautiful woman and see if they could take advantage of the situation, but who would have thought she was a fierce tigress? Even Emmanuel was astonished! My wife is so fierce! He didn’t need to be a hero and save her at all… ” “The rest of you, will you come at me one by one, or all at once?” Mackenzie had been in a bad mood these days, and she had been wondering how to vent her frustration. These people had walked right into her trap, giving her the perfect opportunity to release her pent–up anger. Seeing her icy gaze, Jamison retreated in fear, not daring to approach to even help his father up. “L–Let’s go quickly!” Emerson’s two lackeys turned around and ran… “Cowards!”  Mackenzie didn’t have time to waste on these individuals. She turned around and left the scene. Meanwhile, Emmanuel sighed. The father and son from the Cadigan family were truly disappointing. They didn’t even give him a chance to intervene. It seemed he would have to find another opportunity to resolve the conflict with Mackenzie. The news of the couple’s conflict quickly reached the Quillen estate through Terence’s arranged informants. Terence, the old fox, even managed to obtain video footage of Emmanuel failing to save his wife after sleeping on the bench all night. “Grandpa, it seems like your plan backfired!”  Beatrix was extremely anxious. She had never been in a relationship, but she had a deep bond with her older sister. Seeing her sister gloomy and absent–minded these days made her worry, and she couldn’t even eat or sleep properly. It felt as if she had gone through a breakup herself. If it weren’t for fear of exposing her sister’s identity, she would have wanted to kick her idiot brother–in–law and warn him to hurry up and make amends with her sister. “Haha, it won’t backfire! Marriage is just like a business. You have to be patient!” Terence remained confident. He was already 70 years old, and he had experienced all sorts of situations. He always maintained a detached attitude as he saw through the heart of  everything. If Mackenzie didn’t mention divorce, it meant she still couldn’t bear to leave that man. The longer the conflict lasted, the greater the chance of reconciliation. There might even be unexpected gains! He knew that if he wanted great–grandchildren, he had to take drastic measures. Beatrix listened with confusion to his reasoning. Stomping her feet  in frustration, she announced, “I won’t listen to you anymore.” Afterward, she turned and left. At that moment, Alfred approached respectfully and asked, “Sir, shouldn’t you intervene and mediate between the young couple?” “I won’t help them with this matter!” Terence’s eyes contained a faint gleam.

I won’t interfere unless they really want a divorce…”  After finishing work in the afternoon, Emmanuel headed to the headquarters of Terence Group as usual on his electric scooter to work part–time. On the way, he received a call from Quintus. “Emmanuel, we didn’t have enough fun last time. Let’s go out for a drink tonight!” “Quintus, I have a part–time job tonight, so I’m afraid I can’t.” “No? That won’t do! How about this, I’ll introduce you to a super pretty woman to accompany you for drinks, and I’ll compensate you for the wages you lost!”  Quintus generously said. Emmanuel forced a smile. He felt quite uncomfortable inside and wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol. But he knew very well that getting drunk would not only fail to reconcile with Mackenzie but might make the situation even worse! “Quintus, maybe next time! I’m really not in the mood tonight…” “What a bummer! Fine, then!” Quintus hung up the phone and got out of his Range Rover the next moment. In fact, his call to Emmanuel for drinks was just a backup plan, so it wasn’t a problem when Emmanuel refused. Emmanuel arrived at the entrance of the Terence Group building on his electric scooter just as Mackenzie was leaving the company. He had actually  come to invite Mackenzie out again, and he was prepared to be rejected. She looked even colder today, and her eyes seemed dimmer than usual.
