Chapter 34
Chase stood silently, his expression betraying a hint of
smugness as he watched Emmanuel being encircled
by a group of bodyguards.
Mni was inwardly delighted. Emmanuel, this should
show you your ce. Who are you to even think that
you want to marry me? We’re from two different
worlds.
Keegan puffed his chest up, sending a clear message
to all present that anyone who attempted to snatch
his significant other away from him would result in dire
consequences.
To their surprise, Emmanuel remained calm and
unfazed.
He had no interest in status and prestige at all, so he
didn’t find this situation humiliating. Confident in the
knowledge that he had done nothing wrong, he was
not concerned with the potential of being falsely
used.
However, many people assumed he was scared
senseless as he said nothing.
The bodyguards were about to take action when an
icy voice resonated around the hall. “Wait! Who in the
world would dare to kick him out?”
Those present were ultra–wealthy, but they still felt
chills running down their spines upon hearing the
piercingly cold voice.
Not long ago, Adam was exhibiting a haughty attitude
as he attempted to take control of the mayhem that
had broken out at the party. However, he now seemed
to resemble a child who had been chastised by an
adult.
Adam nervously nced in the direction of the voice
and saw Beatrix Quillen making her way to the area.
His heart sank as he shivered in trepidation.
Everyone also turned to look at the young heiress.
Beatrix Quillen, who was only twenty years old, made a
grand entrance apanied by an entourage that
lent her a certain degree of intimidation.
Tonight, she was dressed to the nines, looking
absolutely ravishing. She had a few bodyguards by her
side, magnifying her entrance and allowing her to
outshine the other affluent people in the hall.
Wherever she went, people would make way for her as
though she was royalty.
“Who is she? Her entrance was so grand!” Mni
muttered curiously.
The manager from Cloud Construction gasped,
covering her mouth with her hand as she chastised,
“Stop acting like a fool! That’s Ms. Beatrix, from the
Quillen family. They’re the wealthiest family in all of
Yeringham, and this gathering is to mark the asion
of her aunt’s promotion to the deputy mayor of the
city!”
“What? Ms. Beatrix of the Quillen family?” Mni’s face
paled visibly.
She was an ordinary woman who had just been
promoted to a senior executive role at Cloud
Construction’s project. Despite her newfound sess,
she was vain, just like any other woman, so she had
heard a lot about the Quillen family.
I heard that the Quillen family is worth billions. Ms.
Beatrix might not be a real princess, but she is more
influential than royalty in Yeringham! Why is she here?
“M–Ms. Beatrix!” Adam greeted hastily as dread filled
his heart.
He regretted his hasty judgment. If Ms. Beatrix had
indeed invited this man to the party, I’ll be doomed!
However, his years of experience on the job were
enough for him to regain hisposure quickly. He
then offered a ttering smile. “Ms. Beatrix, what brings
you here? Can I help you with anything?”
“Help me? You’re trying to kick someone from the
Quillen family out of the hall. Are you sure you’re
helping me?”
Emmanuel is Mackenzie’s husband. How dare these
people kick him out of the Quillen family’s party? They
must have a death wish!
Beatrix’s frosty words caused everyone to gasp in

disbelief.
Someone from the Quillen family? Did Ms. Beatrix just
say that this man is part of the Quillen family?
Roselynn’s eyes widened in amazement as a thought
crossed her mind. Could it be possible that
Emmanuel’s wife is a Quillen, the wealthiest family?

Adam’s face turned as pale as a sheet.
