Chapter 1144


    As Mackenzie prepared herself for whatever this man


    After a while, Mackenzie opened her eyes.


    “Mackenzie, you seem a bit tired today. Let’s rest early.”


    Emmanuel sensed that something was off with Mackenzie today.


    Furthermore, he hadn’t taken a shower tonight, and his wife was a neat freak. He was afraid that she


    would find fault with him if they became intimateter, which would be embarrassing!


    Most importantly, he felt that he hadn’t gained the approval from all members of the Quillen family, and


    their marriage wasn’t stable yet. It wouldn’t be appropriate to rush into taking Mackenzie’s virginity,


    right?


    In any case, tonight was not the right time.


    “Okay…”


    Mackenzie’s lips curled slightly, her thoughts appearingplicated, but ultimately, she remained


    silent.


    The next morning, as Emmanuel dropped off Mackenzie at Terence Group, he received a call from


    Alessandra.


    “Mom, did you say you gave the dowry to the Zimmerman family? And you’re going to help Ryder buy a


    house tomorrow?”


    Emmanuel listened to Alessandra’s words and looked surprised.


    Mackenzie, who had just stepped out of the car, also paused, and listened attentively.


    “Alright, I understand.”


    Emmanuel furrowed his brows slightly and ended the call. Only then did he realize that Mackenzie had


    returned to the car. She asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “Ruby and Ryder are getting married. My mom gave the dowry to the Zimmerman family, but Ruby


    insists on getting a house before agreeing to marry!” Emmanuel summarized.


    Mackenzie also furrowed her brows slightly. Ryder was clearly being manipted by Ruby.


    However, considering the care he had shown Emmanuel since childhood, as well as his honesty and


    how well he had been treating Alessandra, Mackenzie couldn’t just ignore him.


    In the next moment, she took out a bank card and handed it to Emmanuel.


    “What are you doing, Mackenzie?”


    Emmanuel was slightly stunned.


    “What are you doing, Mackenzie?”


    Emmanuel was slightly stunned.


    “There are 750 thousand in this card. Use it to buy a house for Ryder so that he can get married


    without worries. But the property must be registered under Ryder’s name as pre-marital property!”


    Mackenzie instructed.


    She believed that Ruby was trying to deceive Ryder into marriage, but since things hade to this


    point, Ryder had to marry her. Even if they couldn’t retrieve the dowry, at least the house shouldn’t be


    taken away by herter.


    “No, he’s my cousin. He’s getting married, and it’s my responsibility to help him…”


    Emmanuel wanted to refuse, but when he saw Mackenzie’s determined gaze, he could only sigh and


    ept the card.


    “Just let me know once you’ve made the purchase,” Mackenzie said and left, her expression cold and


    aloof.


    Seriously, we just agreed to fulfill the promise togetherst night. Ryder is also my cousin, yet he’s still


    holding back with me! 750 thousand is nothingpared to having to raise 3 billion in assets.


    Snap!


    Little did Mackenzie know that her act of forcing money onto Emmanuel had been captured by Lara,


    who was hiding nearby.


    “Hmph! Emmanuel, you pretty boy, always asking Mackenzie for money, huh?”


    “No matter what trick you used on her, I will gather evidence and work with the Quillen family to kick


    you out!”


    “Only Gautier is worthy of her!”


    Lara hid in the car, watching the video and photos she had taken, and smiled with satisfaction. “Beatrix,


    you clueless girl, how dare you team up with this pretty boy to bully mest night? After I drive him


    away, let’s see who else you can rely on!”


    In her eyes, Emmanuel was just a pretty boy, ignorant and only capable of taking advantage of women.


    He knew some martial arts but only used it to exploit women.


    Worthless!


    Useless!


    Nothing but scum!

    Pah!


    Pah!


    Knock, knock.


    Just as Lara was muttering to herself, the car window was suddenly tapped twice, startling her.


    To her surprise, it was Emmanuel. She quickly moved back, feeling panicked, and asked, “What…


    What do you want?”


    “Why are you at thepany? What were you secretly filming between me and Mackenzie just now?”


    Emmanuel furrowed his brows and questioned.


    “Why do you care? This is my family’spany. I cane whenever I want! You have no say!” Lara


    appeared flustered but pretended to be proud.


    After saying that, she opened the car door and walked out grandly.


    Emmanuel couldn’t do anything about her. He couldn’t possibly beat her up, could he? Hence, he could


    only remain vignt ande up with countermeasures for the future.
