Chapter 576

Chapter 576 “Let’s see what happens when the time comes, Mom. If worse comes to worst, we’ll just stop by briefly to drop off a wedding gift.” That was the simplest solution Emmanuel could think of. Even though he was no longer poor, he had no desire to interact with the Zimmerman family due to how repulsive they were. “Oh… Okay.” Instead of thinking about it, Alessandra put it out of her mind. All she wanted to do now was find Ryder a new wife, so she immediately contacted a matchmaker. Meanwhile, he returned to decorating the house with Roselynn until the afternoon. During that time, they chatted about her relationship with Jaxton. All she ended up saying was that she would divorce Jaxton after the festivities were over. Despite her desire to alleviate their mother’s anxiety, she decided not to marry any guy who showed interest in her. Nonetheless, Emmanuel supported that decision because he did not think Jaxton was a man his sister could rely on for the rest of her life. She deserved a better choice since she was still young and had not lost too much to that man. Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by a commotion outside the door. “Is Emmanuel home?” someone called out. After hearing this, he and his sister hurried out the door. What they saw shocked Roselynn as there was a Lamborghini and a Mercedes Benz parked right outside. The Lamborghini was driven by a wealthy woman seemingly in her thirties, but it was unclear what her actual age was. “Aunt Samantha?” Emmanuel instantly recognized the Lamborghini’s driver as Mackenzie had shown him photos of the important members of her family so that he would not be confused when meeting her family due to his face blindness. Unbeknownst to Samantha, he never forgot anything he saw, so there was no way he would ever be mistaken. “Your physique’s very nice. Your face isn’t that bad either,” she commented with a chuckle. Then, she licked her lips avariciously and snapped her finger, prompting a man and a woman to emerge from the Mercedes Benz to drag Emmanuel inside the vehicle. “Hey! Aunt Samantha, what is the meaning of this?” Emmanuel was freaking out because she had said nothing before she did this. Similarly, Roselynn was shocked by what had happened to her brother. Why does it look like a case of human trafficking? This woman is attempting to abduct my brother right before me! What on earth is going on? “Why else would I be doing this? Of course, I’m dressing you up. If you walk into the Quillen residence dressed like this, people will look down on you!” Samantha thought of Mackenzie as her own daughter. In fact, she loved Mackenzie more than she did her own daughter, so she had to make sure everything was perfect. At first glance, Emmanuel appears average, but with proper grooming, he would be suitable for attending formal events. She had witnessed firsthand the dramatic transformations that major celebrities underwent before and after their rise to fame, such as how many well–known male celebrities, including Dustin Beauver and Tim Harland, once looked even worse than Emmanuel. So, she reasoned that Emmanuel, too, might look different after this transformation. Meanwhile, Alessandra had finished her phone call, and upon noticing the commotion outside, she quickly–stepped out, only to find Roselynn standing by the door. “What happened? Where’s Manny?” she asked. Roselynn pointed at the Lamborghini driving away and shrugged. “You’re too late, Mom. Manny was snatched away by a middle–aged woman just now.” “What? Snatched?” Alessandra was stunned. Are human traffickers these days bold enough to kidnap a man like Emmanuel? Should we report this to the police? : After two hours of intensive makeover, Emmanuel finally stepped out of the changing room of a high–end fashion boutique, looking like a brand–new person. “Not bad!” Samantha exclaimed. Then, she examined him thoroughly as though she were purchasing a farm animal. She even reached out to make a few minor adjustments to his outfit, but she did not slap his butt. “With your body, people would definitely believe that you are the son of some rich and powerful family,” she mumbled with a small chuckle. Yes, I like it. Mackenzie would be pleasantly surprised, if not shocked, to see him dressed so well. At this thought, she couldn’t wait to see Mackenzie’s expression when that happened. As for Emmanuel, he was completely speechless. Why is Mackenzie’s aunt such a tyrant? She forced her way regardless of what I wanted. If not for her relationship with my wife, I would have flipped out by now. Hmm! Mackenzie also has tyrannical moments, so did she learn that behavior from Aunt Samantha? “A call for you, Mr. Lowe!” Samantha’s assistant walked over to hand him–the phone. He had left his belongings in her care while he changed. Seeing that it was a call from Mackenzie, he hurriedly answered it. Before he could say anything, his phone was snatched from his grasp. “Where are you, Emmanuel?” Mackenzie sounded angry over the phone as he had not replied to her message. “Hi, Mackenzie! Don’t worry. I’ll ensure your man will be on time when he arrives at the Quillen residence.” There was a proud lilt in Samantha’s voice. “Aunt Samantha?” Mackenzie instantly understood what had happened the moment she heard her voice! Her rage subsided, and she said calmly, “Don’t go overboard, Aunt Samantha. Otherwise, he won’t be the same man anymore.” The call ended as soon as Mackenzie finished speaking. What she liked about him was his sincerity and lack of pretentiousness. Hence, she was worried that Samantha might dress him up so much that he would blend in with the horde of rich young men instead. “Well, I certainly did go overboard.” Staring at the numerous luxury branded accessories and clothing pieces, Samantha wondered if she had dressed him too well. Still, she did not plan on correcting her own mistake. Thus, she gestured at him. “Let’s go, my dear son–in–law. It’s time to head home.” Then, she moved to pay for the new outfit, but Emmanuel gently grabbed her wrist. However, the sales associate stood stock still and watched upon seeing this. Stunned, Samantha turned to look at him. He has just agreed to everything I requested, so what is he up to now? “Since these will now be mine, I should pay, Aunt Samantha.” “You?” she gasped. Astonishment was painted all over her face. “Do you know how much everything costs? It’s at least six figures. Can you even afford that?” She didn’t mean it in a derogatory way; she was simply telling the truth. To Samantha’s surprise, Emmanuel smiled and replied solemnly, “While I’m not as capable as Mackenzie, I can still afford to buy my own things. If you’re that close to her, you wouldn’t want others to say that her husband’s a gold -digger, right?” At this moment, his assertions persuaded her. Her initial impression of him was that he was a rather handsome man who was very nonchalant about marrying into the Quillen family. That was why he left such a deep impression on her mind. Now, she could sense a genuine aura around him that was impossible to ignore. His entire being radiated with a man’s stubborn pride as if he had never bowed to anyone. “Very well, then. As you wish,” Samantha conceded. “Thank you for taking the time to help me pick out an outfit.” Emmanuel then Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ƒ)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. handed his card to the sales associate to pay for the items. On the other hand, Samantha was pleased with how he thanked her because he was so courteous. Unexpectedly, she heard him say, “Although I don’t like any of it.” Aargh! She suddenly felt an overwhelming fury swell up her throat. The instant she heard those words, she knew her son–in–law was not as charming as expected.
