Chapter 271


    “Mrs. Quillen!” Jessica greeted them, smiling ear to ear. “I never thought that


    I’d see you here!”


    “You are?”


    Terence was not particrly pleased by her sudden appearance as he was


    in a hurry to attend the Quillen family’s wedding banquet. As Felicity had held


    them up, they were already runningte, and he did not want to waste any


    more of his time. However, upon seeing the uninvited guest’s wide smile, he


    responded out of courtesy, all the while worried that he would be recognized


    nearby the Lowe family’s house which would lead to Mackenzie losing the


    ability to pretend to be poor when she was with Emmanuel.


    “Old Mr. Quillen, I’m Jessica Oatley, the chief financial officer of Oatley


    Corporation!” Jessica introduced herself along with her title, afraid that he


    wouldn’t recognize her.


    And yet, Terence still had no inkling of who she was and had even forgotten whichpany Oatley


    Corporation belonged to, so he only replied, “Nice to


    meet you, Miss Oatley. I’m busy, so let’s talk next time!”


    Saying that, he turned around to leave.


    On the other hand, Felicity remained expressionless, unsurprised by the sight


    of small fry like Jessica trying to gain their favor, though she hadn’t expected


    to encounter someone like this near the Lowe Residence.


    “Old Mr. Quillen! Old Mr. Quillen!”


    Jessica refused to give up, but she was immediately stopped by the Quillen


    family’s bodyguards.


    Alfred shot her a fierce re and even warned her, “Miss, if you take another


    step forward, we won’t hold back on you.”


    “Uh…”


    Jessica was thoroughly bewildered. It was embarrassing enough that she


    failed to strike up a conversation with Terence, but the biggest problem was

    that the Quillen family’s bodyguards were blocking the road that just so


    happened to lead toward the Lowe Residence. If they refused to let her pass


    through, she wouldn’t be able to return to pick up the bride!


    As the sky grew darker, Roselynn finally left the house and got in the car. Not


    knowing what had happened to Jessica, Jaxton assumed that she had left


    without any intention of returning as she looked down on the Lowe family and


    didn’t stick around to wait for her. Hence, she must have immediately


    headed back home after picking up his bride.


    Roselynn had just left when Terence and Felicity arrived at the Lowe


    Residence. Although it was only a short walk, Felicity seemed to be in a bad


    mood.


    Fortunately, Terence made up for her low spirits with his friendliness as he


    smiled brightly at Alessandra. “Haha. Mrs. Lowe, congrattions on your


    daughter’s marriage!”


    Then, he instructed Felicity to hand over their gift.


    As Terence had a down–to–earth personality, he prepared two envelopes of


    mary gifts as a present. However, it was quite arge sum–each


    envelope contained 10 thousand. Moreover, despite instructing his men to


    prepare as much money as they could, this was the most he was able to


    “Oh, Old Mr. Quillen, you’re being too polite! It’s a pity Roselynn just left with


    the groom, so we can’t bring her back to give you a toast!” Alessandra replied


    politely. After all, two envelopes containing 10 thousand each were


    considered a significant present in the Lowe family.


    udette, who was just preparing to leave, finally got the gist of the situation


    upon seeing the scene before her. It appeared that Terence was the one who


    set up Mackenzie and Emmanuel’s marriage.


    Looking at Felicity’s expression, it seemed that she was quite unhappy with


    their marriage even if she didn’t say a word, and udette,wondered if she


    still had a chance. As she watched Emmanuel giving Terence a warm


    wee, she let out a deep inhale before taking her leave.


    Although both the Oatley and Lowe Residences were in Yeringham, the


    journey was almost three hours long as Yeringham was arge city, and it


    was already midnight by the time Roselynn arrived at the Oatley Residence.


    Many of the members of the Oatley family expressed their displeasure


    toward the situation.


    Simrly, although Jaxton’s parents did not lose their temper at Roselynn,


    they secretly chided him, “What exactly is going on? You went to pick up the


    bride early in the morning, so why did you onlye back at midnight?”


    “That’s right. Did her rtives ask for a lot of money from you or they would


    refuse to let her leave?”


    The couple understood Yeringham’s customs when it came to wedding


    banquets like the back of their hand. In the past, there were cases where the


    bride’s family would ask for arge sum of money on the wedding day,


    resulting in the groom immediately leaving without even taking the bride


    with him in a fit of frustration.
