Chapter 351


    udette realized she didn’t feel too happy after hearing what Laura said.


    Am I worried about Mackenzie now? What’s wrong with me? udette found


    this rather odd. They had always been in a rather tense andpetitive


    rtionship, and udette never wanted to lose to Mackenzie. But now I’m


    showing concern for her? I must be going crazy.


    Whether it was Gautier or Magnus, udette knew none of them were good,


    especially Magnus. He might seem like a gentleman on the surface, but he


    was a cruel and unforgiving man deep down. The incident earlier that day


    served as good evidence–only a man as ruthless as him could break


    another man’s arm just like that.


    “By the way, it’s your birthday tomorrow, right? What are you nning to do?


    I’m sure Magnus visited Yeringham during this period for this reason, right?”


    Laura initiated more conversation after udette was quiet for a while.


    udette frowned for a moment before a bashful expression appeared on


    her face, smiling sweetly. “I’m not nning to spend my birthday with


    Magnus or any of you!”


    Laura froze for a moment. Instead of getting angry, she let out a grin and put


    her hands on her hips. “You’re nning to spend some alone time with Dr.


    Lowe‘ on your birthday, aren’t you?”


    I can’t hide anything from this woman! She knows me better than my mom


    does. udette had no choice but to nod in response.


    “Woah, that’s impressive. How did you do it? How did you get that oblivious


    man to spend your birthday with you?” Laura was curious.


    However, udette had no ns to tell her that she had hired Jayden to


    handle Ryder’s divorce. Emmanuel wanted to thank her for that, so she


    suggested that he bought her dinner the next day. The man probably didn’t


    even know it was her birthday on the same day! I finally get to spend my


    birthday with someone I’m fond of. udette was looking forward to it!


    It was around 10.00PM at Terence Group headquarters when Lexi noticed how


    Beatrix was still roaming around in the office.


    “Why are you so hardworking nowadays, Ms. Beatrix? Are you nning to take


    over thepany after you graduate?” Lexi asked teasingly.


    “Hey, can’t you tell I’m like an agitated cat now, Lexi?” Beatrix rushed over to


    her.


    “Huh?” Lexi was stunned for a while before she burst intoughter. “Like a cat


    on a hot tin roof, eh?”


    “It isn’t just any regr hot tin roof; I feel like I’m on a volcano now!” Beatrix


    cried as she held onto Lexi’s hands. “Mr. Castro is talking to my sister now, Lexi.


    I’m sure this has to do with the divorce! They probably have a conclusion! I


    don’t want her to get a divorce!”


    “Why don’t you barge in and stop them, then?” Lexi asked in return.


    “I don’t have the guts to do it, and I don’t know how to convince my sister to


    change her mind…” Beatrix’s anxiety made it seem as if she was the one who


    was about to get a divorce. “I’d called Emmanuel earlier, but that ignorant


    man told me everything has been set in stone. He doesn’t know what to do


    either! He’s such an idiot, isn’t he? My sister’s such a great woman. How is he


    going to find a better woman if he leaves her and gets a divorce?” she cried.


    “Shush!” Lexi urged. “The office’s walls aren’t as soundproof as you think.


    You’re raising your voice in front of Ms. Mackenzie’s office; she’s going to hear


    you. She might be more determined to get a divorce if she hears your words!”


    Beatrix understood the logic in Lexi’s words, so she quickly pped her palm


    over her mouth. Lexi had been right–Mackenzie was just contemting


    whether to sign her divorce papers in the office. Jayden told her that


    Emmanuel had already signed the papers and agreed on a divorce. All of the


    necessary procedures had beenpleted; all that was left was her


    signature. Jayden could get the official divorce papers from the City Hall


    once she gave him her copy of the documents.


    Terence had just lectured her earlier that day, and she was facing a lot of


    pressure at that moment. She had expected Emmanuel to approach her


    again. She knew him well–even though he was bad with his words of


    affirmation, he was still the sort of person who would pick her up from work.


    He’s going to pick me up, right? I’m sure Grandpa spoke to him about this.


    Unfortunately, she didn’t see any familiar figure every time she nced out


    of her window.


    She had ordered Wally to keep an eye on the entrance as well, but there was


    no news of the man’s arrival.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
