Chapter 587

Chapter 587 “Aunt Hannah, I’ll toast to your good health!” Emmanuel poured another glass of wine and raised it to a young woman, smiling. He wasn’t good at socializing, especially at large family gatherings like this, but he had gradually improved and no longer bluntly addressed people by their full names. “No need. I don’t drink!” Hannah Quillen didn’t even spare a glance at Emmanuel and refused coldly. O In her eyes, Emmanuel was not worthy of being paired with Mackenzie, and their relationship wouldn’t last long anyway. Right now, Mackenzie was still in the honeymoon phase with him, but given some more time and once she got tired of this, they would naturally break She had never seen a case where a relationship with such a large status gap could last for a lifetime. Emmanuel felt a bit embarrassed by her attitude, even though he was mentally prepared for it. It didn’t feel good after all. “Haha, that’s enough! Emmanuel, you don’t need to toast everyone individually anymore! Otherwise, young man, you might not be able to finish this New Year’s Eve dinner!” Terence called a stop to it after Emmanuel had toasted to the main members of the Quillen family, relieving Emmanuel from his duty. Terence was worried that even with Emmanuel’s high alcohol tolerance, he might collapse at any moment after drinking so much if he continued to toast to them one by one! Emmanuel secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised another glass to toast the others, and then sat back beside Mackenzie. Just as Mackenzie had expected, he was indeed not good at socializing, but when he came to visit his in–laws, he had to make the effort even if he wasn’t good at it! That was what Alessandra had repeatedly instructed him. When the in–laws were evaluating a son–in–law, the first thing they looked at was whether he could speak well. If he still dared to be as dull as before, no one would like him for sure! “All right, let’s start the meal!” Terence proclaimed, and everyone started eating. Alfred had been standing silently behind Terence, squinting as if he were asleep, but he had been observing Emmanuel all along. This kid has drunk so much, yet he could still hold on. His internal strength is really something! It seemed like he has made progress compared to before! In the next moment, Emmanuel quietly asked Mackenzie, “Why don’t I see your mother and Sarah?” As soon as Mackenzie heard Sarah’s name, her mood turned sour. “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask; just eat!” Oh…” Emmanuel shrugged, adopting a “better not know” attitude, and decided not to continue asking. Not long after, there was a sudden commotion in the banquet hall. People began screaming one after another! “What the heck? How is it appropriate for a bunch of grown men to do this?” “How is this being live–streamed? Can they even broadcast this?” “Wait… Aren’t those Mr. Verkade and his friends?” People began screaming in shock while staring at their phones. Curiosity killed the cat, and those with poor mental endurance wished they could poke their own eyes out after just a glance.

Mackenzie didn’t need to look at her phone; she immediately knew what had happened and glanced directly at Beatrix. “It has nothing to do with me. It’s not like I forced them to do this. I just helped them set up the live stream. They brought this upon themselves…” Beatrix stuck out her tongue innocently, looking completely blameless. Mackenzie immediately stood up and walked toward the room before. Although Hubert deserved it, his identity still mattered, and this was the Quillen residence. If the situation escalated, the Verkade family would definitely cause trouble for them. Emmanuel quickly followed suit. He had originally intended to give Hubert and his friends a small punishment, but now it seemed like things had gotten out of hand! “Mackenzie! Mackenzie!” Before Mackenzie could open the door, Beatrix intercepted her. “Don’t open it! The scene inside is extremely explicit, and it’s not suitable for children. I’m afraid it will cause you mental harm!” Mackenzie gave her a look, and Beatrix obediently stepped aside. Click. Mackenzie opened the door again, and sure enough, her forehead immediately furrowed deeply. “It is explicit indeed!” Mackenzie had a much higher tolerance than Beatrix. Seeing the naked men lying on the floor panting, she immediately ordered the Quillen family’s bodyguards, “Take them away!” “Yes, Ms. Mackenzie!”
