Chapter 25


    The corporate world was ever–changing. The rise and


    fall of families happened in the blink of an eye, so it


    was impossible for any family to remain one of the four


    prominent families forever.


    Therefore, the four prominent families of Yeringham


    were nothing but a term for the convenience of the


    gossipmongers. They were only meant to describe the


    four wealthiest families of the current time.


    “Do you know which four families they are? I heard that


    the outstanding young heirs and heiresses of those


    families will be joining the banquet this time.”


    Roselynn was thirty years old, and she was a beautiful


    and mature woman. Yet, she was fawning over men


    like she was an eighteen–year–old girl.


    “Um, I only know about the Quillen family,” Emmanuel


    replied honestly.


    He was only a gynecologist who had just retired from


    the army. How could he possibly know everything


    about the corporate world?


    He only knew about the Quillen family because that


    family had remained the wealthiest family in


    Yeringham for ten years.


    “You dummy! The rest of the four prominent families


    are the Verkade family, the Zelinsky family, and the


    Lenoir family!”


    Roselynn poked Emmanuel’s head. “Remember this: My


    employer is the daughter of the Lenoir family, and


    she’s the one who gave me the invitation.”


    “Oh, I


    See.”


    Emmanuel nodded. He had seen his sister’s supposed


    employer by chance before.


    She was a woman in her early twenties named


    udette Lenoir. Although she came from a


    prestigious family, she had chosen to work her way up


    from the bottom of thedder after her graduation.


    However, the position she was in was not her actual


    position. She was only starting from the basics to


    familiarize herself with thepany. Everyone in the


    office knew that she was the heiress of thepany.


    Back then, she had some gynecological problems


    which she had trouble seeking doctors for, so Roselynn


    rmended she visit Emmanuel.


    Emmanuel did not know why she had actually gone to


    him instead, but regardless of everything, he cured her.


    Back then, Emmanuel had expressionlessly asked her


    to take off her pants. udette had been


    embarrassed, but Emmanuel was unfazed. In fact, he


    could barely remember her because he had seen too


    many women’s bodies.


    “Is that your only response? At least pretend to be


    jealous!” Roselynn grumbled, displeased with her


    brother’s reaction.


    Her employer was young and rich, and that was something many people strived for and dreamed of.


    Still hearing nothing from Emmanuel, Roselynn shot him a re before crying out, “Oh, your wife is


    called Mackenzie Quillen, right? Could it be that she’s the


    daughter of the Quillen family?”


    How could people of their status know many details


    about the wealthiest families?


    They could only make guesses.


    Emmanuel shook his head in amusement right away,


    however. “How could that be? She’s worlds apart from


    them.”


    The Quillen family was the richest family in Yeringham.


    If Mackenzie was the daughter of the Quillen family,


    she would have a worth of more than tens of


    billions. How could she possibly be living in a house of


    two hundred square meters?

    Even though it was still a big house, it was nowhere


    near as luxurious as the houses that the tycoons lived


    1. in.


    “But I hear that the daughter of the Quillen family is


    also twenty–seven years old. Apparently, she doesn’t


    like men; she likes women…” Roselynn trailed off, finally


    registering what she was talking about.


    How could her sister–inw be a lesbian if she had


    married her brother?


    Furthermore, Emmanuel told her that he had been


    previously dating his wife for many years. If the


    daughter of the Quillen family had been dating a man


    for so many years, the media would have caught wind


    of it a long time ago, and there wouldn’t be any rumors


    about her sexuality.


    Emmanuel was amused at how easily his sister was


    persuaded. He did not even need to exin anything


    else to her.


    Even though Terence Group was the Quillen family’s


    business, he was certain that it was nothing but a


    coincidence that his wife had the family name of


    Quillen. After all, even Daniel Quillen, the “prime


    architect” of higher algebraic K–theory, also had the


    family name of Quillen. It was not as if all Quillens were


    mathematicians.


    That was simply impossible.


    However, what he did not know was that Mackenzie


    was currently in a Bentley, heading toward the location


    of the banquet–Regal Hotel.


    The truth was that the banquet that night was a


    celebratory dinner for her aunt’s promotion to


    Yeringham’s deputy mayor.


    Besides Terence, there were no other men in the


    Quillen family. However, all of the women in the Quillen


    family were capable individuals who were either the


    top dog in the corporate world or influential figures in


    the political world.


    Mackenzie did not like being in crowded ces, and


    she rarely attended social events like these. However,


    the Quillen women were always supportive of each


    other. For the sake of her aunt, she had to be there.
