Chapter 496

Chapter 496 “Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t speculate about what the security guard was thinking. Sarah explained with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it. That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!” Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly reject this sister–in–law’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found anything wrong with her so far. He thought she was quite nice and thus saw no reason to keep her at arm’s length. Soon after that, the three of them arrived upstairs, and the expert started to help with the fountain. Emmanuel was discussing the construction plan with the expert when Sarah suddenly came to his side. She asked in surprise, “Manuel, what’s wrong with your face? It seems somewhat swollen.” She gently pressed the lower side of his chin. Emmanuel quickly stepped back in pain. These were the injuries he had suffered while getting into a fight in the Lenoir residence today, but he didn’t tell Sarah about it. Sarah was smarter than he imagined, though. Noticing the dirt on his shirt, she anxiously asked, “Manuel, don’t tell me you got into a fight with somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if she comes back and sees you like this!” Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she catches me fighting again, she’ll certainly give me another talking–to! Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let me help put medicine on you. Mackenzie probably has a meeting, so she won’t be back early this evening, right?” “I do have a first aid kit at home, but it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.” Emmanuel turned down her kind offer. After fetching the first aid kit, he brought it back to his room and took off his clothes to put on medicine by himself. Unexpectedly, however, Sarah pushed the door open and entered nonetheless. Seeing him covered in bruises, she exclaimed in shock, “Oh, my God! Manuel, who did this to you?” “It’s okay. Nothing serious, actually,” replied Emmanuel, trying to play it down. Sarah sat down beside him and picked up the ointment with her fair hand. “You can’t apply medicine to the bruises on your back, can you? Let me help you!” As soon as she said that, she started doing it. Unable to refuse her, Emmanuel had no choice but to reply, “Thank you!” At the same time, a Bentley entered the neighborhood. Having long named Mackenzie the prettiest woman in the neighborhood, the security guards of Yociam Residence would always try to strike up conversations with her on all kinds of topics. While the gate opened, he asked with a smile, “Ms. Quillen, why isn’t Mr. Lowe bringing you home today?” Mackenzie had no intention of answering. Much to her dismay, though, the other security guard chimed in immediately, “Hey, are you stupid? Ms. Quillen’s sister is here to pay a visit, isn’t she? Mr. Lowe has to play host to his sister–in–law, of course!” Mackenzie’s attractive eyes darkened at once. She ordered Wally, “Drop me off right downstairs!” “Yes, Ms. Mackenzie!” Wally also sensed an undercurrent of rage emanating from her. He was well aware of the relationships between the three Quillen sisters. Could it be Miss Sarah who’s visiting today? As soon as the Bentley came to a stop, Mackenzie hurried upstairs with a chilly expression on her pretty face. She couldn’t help feeling that Sarah was sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ƒ)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. approaching Emmanuel on purpose. Just what the hell is that woman up to? This sister of mine has always liked to steal things from me, but she basically never beat me on this. Don’t tell me she thinks she can steal my husband? How laughable! She soon opened the door and darted her eyes around the house. Seeing no signs of Emmanuel or Sarah, she stormed toward his room in a threatening manner. Seeing such a frosty beauty, the expert working on the balcony was actually scared into silence for a moment!
