Chapter 35


    Those whoughed and enjoyed Emmanuel’s


    misfortune earlier felt their cheeks heat up in


    embarrassment.


    None of them knew that the man who looked shabby


    was, in fact, part of the Quillen family.

    When did the Quillen family have a man among them?


    Mni’s mind had gone nk, while Chase dared not


    utter a word.


    Even udette couldn’t hide her shock. Emmanuel has


    joined the Quillen family? Does he work for them? Or


    has he be a live–in son–inw?


    Despite being the center of attention, Emmanuel was


    confused as he didn’t know who Beatrix was.


    Adam hastily exined, “Ms. Beatrix, I am deeply sorry


    for my error. I had absolutely no idea that this man


    was your personal guest, nor did I know he was a


    member of the esteemed Quillen family!”


    “If you don’t know anything, why didn’t you check first?


    Isn’t it rude to kick someone out after allowing him


    entry?”


    Beatrix’s retort struck Adam silent.


    At first, he intended to look into the issue further, but


    upon overhearing people talking, particrly Mni’s


    conducting an investigation into Emmanuel’s identity.


    This is my fault. If Ms. Beatrix tells Old Mr. Quillen about


    this, I’ll get fired tonight.


    “I’m really sorry, sir. The inconsiderate treatment you


    received was due to my oversight. Please ept my


    apology!”


    With that, Adam gave a polite bow, seeking


    Emmanuel’s forgiveness.


    That sight caused everyone’s jaws to drop open in


    disbelief.


    Emmanuel is just a useless man. Who is he to get


    treated this way?


    Mni bit her lip, refusing to ept what happened in


    front of her face.


    Many shared her sentiment, too.


    At first, Emmanuel was met with scornful stares, but


    now, the people who had regarded him with such


    contempt were casting him nces of surprise and


    admiration.


    Some were even sneaking out of the hall as they were


    afraid Emmanuel would settle scores with them with


    Beatrix’s help.


    Emmanuel gazed at Beatrix in surprise, as he still had


    no idea who she was.


    Beatrix merely winked at him smugly.


    Before Emmanuel said a word, Adam kept his head


    bowed.


    An air of awkward silence lingered in the air.


    “It’s fine. You were just doing your job, anyway,”


    Emmanuel said.


    He didn’t me Adam for treating him that way.


    Nevertheless, he was a vengeful person and added,


    “However, this young man named Keegan was


    arrogant and insolent, so I don’t think he should stay


    here lest he bullies someone else. Do you understand


    what I’m saying?”


    Hearing that, Keegan raised his hand tactfully and left


    the scene before Adam could take action.


    No matter how much pride he had, he was not foolish


    enough to challenge the Quillen family while they were


    hosting a celebration.


    Chills ran down everyone’s spines as they started


    fearing their fates.


    After all, they didn’t side with Emmanuel earlier. If he


    were to nitpick on them, they would all have to leave


    the party.


    Even so, Emmanuel wasn’t that petty. He was not that


    foolish to use Beatrix’s reputation to offend the guests.


    After dealing with the situation, Beatrix turned to


    udette and Roselynn. “Ladies, I need to talk to him.


    in private. Will you please excuse us?”


    Roselynn nodded eagerly. They were currently at the


    Quillen family’s party, and Beatrix had just saved them


    from a very awkward moment.


    Despite her reluctance, udette was polite enough


    to fake a nonchnt smile. “If he’s part of the Quillen


    family, why would you need our approval to bring him


    away?”


    “Thanks!”


    With that, Beatrix tugged the socially inept Emmanuel


    away.


    Emmanuel’s brows furrowed together. Who is this


    youngdy? Why didn’t she seek my approval before


    tugging me away?
