Chapter 187


    “Is that not the case?” Quintus said excitedly, “News of Hubert pursuing you is


    trending on the news. If I don’t make my move, I’d lose you for sure. I have


    way too many rivals in love! If you get taken away by some other man, I’ll


    have to live the rest of my life as a bachelor, and this will cause the Lenoir


    family line to go extinct. Isn’t it obvious that it affects the family’s fate?”

    Mackenzie forced a smile on her face. “That’s quite a terrible joke. Should I be


    “It’s not a joke. I’m being serious here!”


    Once again, Quintus waved the two concert tickets at her. “Mackenzie, give


    me a chance. I know you enjoy listening to piano and ssical music.”


    Although Mackenzie did not ept the tickets, she also did not chase him


    out. Furthermore, several security guards have already gathered outside the


    -office.


    “You’d abandon your Land Rover, hop on an electric scooter and chase me


    down nine blocks, just so you could invite me to a concert?”


    Briefly taken aback, Quintusughed. “You got that right. So, you knew! Yeah,


    nine blocks are nothing. I’d chase you to the ends of the earth and down


    other dangerous ces if need be!”


    Mackenzie felt goosebumps all over her body at his reply. This was one of the


    reasons she hated men. Their cheesy words made her whole body feel so


    ufortable.

    Though, it’s strange that I don’t feel this way when that id*ot at home praises


    1. me.


    “Are you acquainted with the rider of the electric scooter?” Mackenzie


    ignored the topic. Instead, she chose to focus on the rider of the electric


    scooter.


    Surprised, Quintus shook his head as he replied, “I don’t know him. But it’s


    strange, I seem to have stopped a professional racer. Otherwise, it would


    have been impossible for me to catch up. Don’t you think this means that


    we’re fated to meet each other?”


    Mackenzie snorted in response. She did not believe in fate. If I’m truly fated to


    be with someone, it would be with that id*ot!


    Quintus‘ chase had nothing to do with that id*ot, but the former had


    somehow managed to stop his electric scooter. It had ended up looking like


    the scene of a husband chasing after his wife and causing a huge


    A bonehead like Quintus and a dummy like Emmanuel were like birds of a


    feather that flocked together, Quintus knew that Hubert was trending in the


    news, but he did not recognize the male lead that topped the trending


    searches. It made Mackenzie utterly speechless!


    “Mackenzie, you look so pretty when you smile. Will you agree to go with me?”


    Quintus‘ every sentence made Mackenzie shudder inwardly.


    With that, she was certain only that the man at home did not make her feel ill


    when heplimented her beauty.


    “Quintus, you should leave. I have already rejected you and I don’t like men


    who cling to me persistently. Do you catch my drift?” Mackenzie replied


    heartlessly. If Quintus refused to leave, she was going to call his father and


    have him send someone to drag Quintus away.


    Unexpectedly, her words caused Quintus to guffaw. “Great, I failed! However,


    the feeling of defeat ignites my fighting spirit even more! Mackenzie, I’ll


    continue to pursue you for ten years. If you still won’t fall in love with me after


    ten years, then I’ll give up!”


    Ugh, I’ll really puke at this. Does he do nothing but watch dramatic idol


    dramas? Every word thates out of his mouth sets me off!


    Meanwhile, Emmanuel was extremely curious about what the daughter of


    the Quillen family looked like. Only his iron will prevent him from looking up


    her photos on the inte.


    He rode his electric scooter back after he got off his part–time job. Just as he


    was passing by the junction at Terence Group, he suddenly encountered


    Quintus.


    Emmanuel assumed that thetter was here to deal with his Land Rover’s


    traffic offense from earlier. However, Quintus greeted Emmanuel warmly as


    he spotted thetter.


    “You’re finally here!”


    “Are you waiting for me?” Emmanuel was puzzled. I’m no bombshell, so why is


    he here waiting for me?


    “Haha! I was called in by the traffic police earlier, and I’ve only just settled my


    affairs. I thought that I could run into you by chance, but I didn’t expect it to


    actually happen!”


    Quintus did not sound like someone who came from an affluent family.


    Instead, he appeared to be a straightforward and passionate young man.


    “Do you have a girlfriend?”
