Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Mackenzie led the way while Beatrix trailed behind her, and the two of them could hear everyone greeting them respectfully. Although Mackenzie was an aloof woman, she was not cocky. In response, she would incline her head at the more important figures in the corporate world out of courtesy. Men who received her response would puff up their chests in pride. In the meantime, as Emmanuel and Roselynn could not see who everyone was excited about, they decided to continue enjoying the food before them. On the other hand, when Mackenzie went up the stairs and raked her gaze across the room, she noticed her husband in the corner. What’s going on? That man is sharing food with another woman, and they’re even chatting so merrily? The polite smile on Mackenzie’s face faded, and the temperature around her dropped drastically. Why is that man here? Is he cheating on me? D*mn it! Although Mackenzie told Emmanuel that it was fine for him to date other women after they got married, she realized she was still perturbed when she actually saw him with another woman. Fortunately, their marriage was a secret, and no one knew that Emmanuel was her husband. Otherwise, his appearance with another woman would have ruined her illustrious reputation. “Hmph!” Following a sudden scoff, Mackenzie stopped greeting the others and left the ballroom on the first floor. Beatrix, who could not read Mackenzie’s mind, was baffled. Mackenzie’s expression changed in the blink of an eye! What’s going on? However, a thought popped into her head when she followed Mackenzie’s gaze to the spot in the corner and noticed Emmanuel. Beatrix had never seen Emmanuel before, so she quickly pulled Mackenzie’s personal assistant closer to her and asked, “Greta, who’s that man?” “Ms. Beatrix, that’s Emmanuel Lowe.” “Oh!” Beatrix exclaimed as realization dawned upon him. How bold can he be to court other women here? Mackenzie even caught him red–handed! Hoho, if Mackenzie gets mad, she’ll have a thousand and one ways to kill him! “Lexi, keep an eye on that man for me, and come to me right away if anything happens.” “Of course, Ms. Beatrix,” Lexi replied, but she was confused. He’s not your husband. If anything, I should be reporting to Ms. Mackenzie instead. Lexi did not dare to voice those thoughts out loud, however. Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Roselynn had no idea they had been spotted by Mackenzie and her cousin, let alone how Mackenzie had misunderstood Emmanuel’s relationship with Roselynn. It was a strange situation, to sum it up. “Roselynn, I don’t see any handsome guys around. Why don’t we go to another floor?” Emmanuel still remembered the task his mother had assigned him to. He was already married, and it was time for him to get Roselynn married too. Otherwise, it would be risky for Roselynn to give birth if things dragged on for a few more years.

Right then, a sweet voice rang out behind them. “Roselynn! Dr. Lowe!” The siblings turned to see a woman in a light green gown and a smile on her face ambling toward them. The look in the attractive woman’s eyes was a calm one, and she was wearing a diamond necklace around her slender neck. The diamond twinkled under the lights, and it was so brilliant it looked as if the entire universe had been kept in the precious rock. “Claudette?” Roselynn jumped to her feet in excitement before launching herself over to the other woman and hugging her. My boss came at the right time!
