Chapter 247


    At 11.00PM, Emmanuel finally heard someone knocking at the door. He quickly


    rushed to open it and identally bumped into the corner of the table,


    which made him grit his teeth in pain.


    The moment he opened the door, he saw Lexi supporting Mackenzie, and he


    couldn’t help but feel surprised. “Ms. Summerton?”


    Although he had seen Lexi before, it hadn’t been on office grounds. As a


    part–time errand runner for this project, he only worked at night and rarely


    encountered such a famous person close to the CEO.


    He remembered helping this beautiful woman driving a BMW get out of a


    staged ident in front of the cafe back then. However, he couldn’t


    understand why she was apanying Mackenzie home now.


    “Hi, Mr. Lowe. I am Ms. Quillen’s friend. We were drinking just now, and she got


    -drunk. As such, I had to send her back!”


    “Oh, thank you.” He quickly expressed his gratitude and was about to support


    Mackenzie from Lexi’s hands. Sigh, why do you resort to drinking whenever


    you’re angry? You’re a woman, and even more than that, you’re a goddess.


    “Go away! Don’t touch me!” Although Mackenzie was drunk, she was still


    conscious. Before he could touch her, she forcefully pped him away.


    At her reaction, he frowned instantly. Goodness, this is embarrassing. She’s


    acting like I’vemitted some sort of unforgivable offense.


    When Lexi noticed the situation, she couldn’t help but force a smile. “It seems


    you need to put more effort intoforting your wife, Mr. Lowe. I’ll get going


    now.”


    “Alright, thank you.” Emmanuel suppressed his anger and thanked her once


    again.


    After closing the door, he turned around and noticed that Mackenzie had


    already copsed onto the couch. Due to the effects of alcohol, her


    movements were ten times wilder than usual.

    In any case, her behavior waspletely different from his first impression


    of her.


    “If you have something on your mind, you can tell me, Ms. Quillen. You don’t


    have to go out drinking every time. You said I got into fights four times a


    month after our marriage, but you’ve been drunk three times a month too.”


    He voiced out his emotions.


    This only infuriated Mackenzie further. I got drunk every time because of you!


    However, she chose not to say anything and emitted an icy aura as she


    replied, “Does it have anything to do with you? I’ll drink if I want to. You can go


    and drink with Ms. Lenoir if you want to!”


    “Let me get this straight, Ms. Quillen. Ms. Lenoir is both my patient and my


    friend. She got injured during the game, and I was just escorting her home.


    That’s all,” he quickly exined the situation.


    Yet, sheughed coldly. “She got injured during the game, but why did you


    have to carry her home? What is she to you? Your wife?”


    “My rtionship with her is not what you think it is,” he further exined. “I’ve


    known her for three years. That’s way before I even met you, Ms. Quillen.


    Believe it or not, our rtionship is tonic.”


    Hearing that, she stood up directly and sneered. “You’re finally showing your


    true colors. So, you’ve been looking for a wealthy woman all along, eh? Did


    you only marry me for my grandfather’s money?”


    He instantly let out a sigh, feeling greatly disappointed that she would say


    such things. “Let me make you a cup of tea to sober up. After you drink it, take


    a shower and rest early.”


    “Why? Did I hit the nail on the head? You can’t even be bothered to exin


    anymore, huh?”


    “Please stop making baseless usations.” Emmanuel was generally


    easygoing, but he had his limits too. Mackenzie’s usations about him


    made his temper re up, and they faced each other directly, locking eyes.


    “We signed a contract back then. Besides appeasing my mother and making


    her happy, what other benefits do I get from marrying you?”


    In fact, Mackenzie understood what he meant. If he married her for money, it


    would have been better for him to marry udette when he didn’t know she


    was the daughter of the Quillen family. That woman is clearly throwing


    herself at him. I can’t help feeling ufortable, that’s all. Sigh, I don’t feel


    like myself anymore. This feels terrible. It feels like I’ve been dragged down to


    a lower level by this idiot!
