Chapter 496


    “Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of

    courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t specte about what the security guard


    was thinking.


    Sarah exined 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–inw’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 n 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 shees 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


    nheless. Seeing him covered in bruises, she eximed in shock, “Oh, my


    God! Manuel, who did this to you?”


    “It’s okay. Nothing serious, actually,” replied Emmanuel, trying to y 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 y host to his


    sister–inw, 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 rtionships 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


    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?


    Howughable! 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!
