Chapter 442


    “Manny, don’t listen to your sister! I’m fine!” Alessandra quickly intervened


    before Roselynn could spill the beans. She wanted to prevent Roselynn from


    revealing the extent of her injuries.


    Emmanuel understood his mother’s selfless nature. She always prioritized


    others over herself, and she didn’t want to jeopardize his rtionship with his


    brother-inw.


    So, she chose to keep the matter hidden. Sure enough, Alessandra spoke


    highly of Jaxton, assuring Emmanuel that Jaxton didn’t mean any harm. She


    even urged him to persuade his sister to reconcile with Jaxton swiftly.


    Alessandra even mentioned that couples often had arguments but


    reconciled by the end of the day, and that Roselynn should be a good wife.


    Of course, Emmanuel wouldn’t agree to that. He had promised not to let his


    sister suffer. However, he also didn’t want to go against his mother. So, he


    simply stated that it was Roselynn’s decision to make, and they shouldn’t


    pressure her.


    After he ended the call, Mackenzie approached him. She had a pristine white


    towel draped over her shoulders. As she was drying her damp hair, she


    remarked, “Jaxton doesn’t seem like a good man. Tell your sister to leave him


    and find someone new! If she’s interested, I can even introduce her to


    someone!”


    Well, that was quite considerate of Mackenzie. After all, the esteemed CEO of


    the Terence Group, known for her icy demeanor, was offering to set up his


    sister-a fact that would be hard to believe for those familiar with her


    professional persona.


    Emmanuel also felt her extraordinary kindness toward his family. However, his


    gaze remained fixed on her figure. She sensed his stare, followed his line of


    sight, and nced down. Only then did she realize that her neckline had


    this man.


    “What are you looking at? If you keep ogling my chest, I might just gouge your


    eyes out!” She pointed her finger at him, issuing a stern threat.


    His face immediately turned crimson as he hastily turned away and


    exined, “Ms. Quillen, I didn’t mean to look. It’s just that it appeared as


    though you were deliberately trying to entice me. Please be more careful


    next time, or I might not be able to control myself.”


    Her eyes widened in disbelief. What had just happened? How dare he use


    her, the esteemed Ms. Quillen, of seducing him? Despite the fact that she


    allowed him to catch a glimpse of her body, he had the audacity to shift the


    me onto her. Did this idiot not realize how fortunate he was? If she were to


    lift her clothes slightly, the men in Yeringham would be overwhelmed with


    excitement and suffocate.


    Still, even though she was annoyed, she couldn’t help but notice Emmanuel


    blushing for the first time. Well, it seemed gynecologists were also interested


    in women’s bodies! The thought brought a smile to her face.


    Although she was rather annoyed, she also couldn’t help but feel a sense of


    pride. She couldn’t help but think of udette’s diary and believe that her


    charm surpassed udette’s on a different level. After all, udette was


    already recognized as the acimed goddess in Yeringham, a level above


    her. What level would she be at now?


    He couldn’t help but ask, “Why are youughing, Ms. Quillen?” He observed


    Mackenzie, who had initially been angry, suddenly disying a proud smile.


    Unexpectedly, she let out a cold snort as her face smoothed out into a


    serious expression. Then, she simply returned to her room. This flustered him.

    Mackenzie was perfect in every way, except for her sudden change in mood.


    He still couldn’t decipher her temperament even after she had spent a good


    amount of time with her. He assumed she had gone back to her room to


    sleep, but then she came out again, holding a document between her


    fingers.


    He immediately recognized the document as the divorce agreement he had


    signed before. The instant heid his eyes on it, he started breaking out in


    nervous sweat. He even tried to lighten the mood as he teased, “Did you go


    to such lengths to drag me back just to understand what the divorce


    agreement is about?”


    “Call me Ms. Quillen one more time, and I’ll sign a document just like this


    again.” She simply wanted to see who was more reluctant to divorce-her or


    Emmanuel.


    Luckily, although Emmanuel hadn’t fully grasped her temperament, he knew


    she waspetitive. So, he quicklypromised, saying, “I won’t call you


    that again if you don’t like it. There’s no need to threaten me, okay?”


    Suddenly, her angry expression was reced with a smile. “So, you’re afraid


    of my threats? It seems like you’re fond of me.
