Chapter 36

Chapter 36 “Ms. Beatrix, we should keep a distance from each other and maintain the boundaries with the opposite gender. Where are you bringing me?” Finally, Emmanuel couldn’t stand it anymore and shoved her away. He was utterly confounded. How did she know me? “How could you possibly utter such a vile statement?” Beatrix jeered, her voice dripping with disdain. “It’s nothing short of repulsive!” To Beatrix, physical appearance was of the utmost importance when selecting a partner. She thought Emmanuel was attractive, and she had also learned about his valorous accomplishment from Mackenzie. Mackenzie had relayed to her that Emmanuel’s swift action enabled the Terence Group’s project to continue moving forward without a hitch. These factors combined to give her a very positive impression of him. However, when she saw him flirting with Roselynn behind her sister’s back a while ago, her favorable impression of him disappeared into thin air. Earlier, she showed up to help Emmanuel upon receiving Lexi’s report as he was Mackenzie’s husband. “What are you talking about?” Emmanuel asked with a frown. He was asking her to make herself clear. “What else? You’re married, right? How could you even think of flirting with someone else behind your wife’s back? That’s outrageous!” Beatrix exclaimed with her hands on her hips. However, Emmanuel wasn’t interested at all in her curvaceous body. He was amused and didn’t bother taking another look at her. “Why are you laughing?” Beatrix demanded. It was time for Beatrix to demand an explanation. If his explanation wasn’t satisfactory, she would definitely make him pay. Members of the upper–class society in Yeringham were well acquainted with the Quillen sisters. One was Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. an ice queen, and another was known for her fiery temper. No one had the capacity to calm Beatrix’s temper when she was in the throes of a furious outburst. “You’re funny.” Emmanuel finally deigned himself to look at her. “I don’t know how you figured out that I’m married, but you don’t even know that Roselynn is my real sister. Are you saying that I’m flirting with my sister?” “Huh? She’s your sister?” Beatrix gaped in disbelief upon realizing that she had just embarrassed herself. I wanted to help Mackenzie catch her husband in the act and then teach him a lesson for cheating on her. It turns out they are siblings! Oh, how embarrassing! “But you don’t look like her!” she insisted. “Who says siblings must resemble each other?”  Emmanuel was too lazy to explain that he shared the same physical features as their father, with Roselynn mirroring their mother’s appearance. No one would guess they were siblings with their physical appearances. “Who are you, though? How are you related to Mackenzie?” he inquired. “Huh? You don’t know who I am?” Beatrix was filled with a strange sense of excitement and was intrigued when she realized that he had no idea who she was. I’m his sister–in–law, but he doesn’t even know it. This is unbelievable! Emmanuel didn’t seem like he was lying, so Beatrix was certain that her sister had been keeping things a  secret from him, particularly those relating to their family. “I know who you are. You’re Beatrix Quillen, from the Quillen family. What I would like to know is how you are related to my wife,” Emmanuel stated curiously. “Well, I won’t tell you anything. You can guess the truth yourself!” Beatrix stuck her tongue out and turned to leave. Fortunately, Mackenzie and I have totally opposite characters. He doesn’t know that we’re siblings. Emmanuel knitted his brows. They both share the same surname. Could it be that my wife is related to the rich Quillen family? After chatting briefly with Emmanuel, Beatrix returned to the top floor and found Mackenzie. Mackenzie had a productive discussion with a business owner. After she promised to enter into a collaboration, the owner expressed his gratitude and left happily. Those who had the privilege of partnering with the Quillen family from Yeringham were exceptionally lucky as they would be rewarded with an abundance of wealth. “Mackenzie!” Beatrix greeted and approached her.
