Chapter 496
“Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of
courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t specte about what the security guard
was thinking.
Sarah exined with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on
the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any
updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it.
That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both
you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!”
Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly
reject this sister–inw’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and
Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found
anything wrong with her so far. He thought she was quite nice and thus saw
no reason to keep her at arm’s length.
Soon after that, the three of them arrived upstairs, and the expert started to
help with the fountain.
Emmanuel was discussing the construction n with the expert when Sarah
suddenly came to his side. She asked in surprise, “Manuel, what’s wrong with
your face? It seems somewhat swollen.” She gently pressed the lower side of
his chin.
Emmanuel quickly stepped back in pain. These were the injuries he had
suffered while getting into a fight in the Lenoir residence today, but he didn’t
tell Sarah about it.
Sarah was smarter than he imagined, though. Noticing the dirt on his shirt,
she anxiously asked, “Manuel, don’t tell me you got into a fight with
somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if shees back and sees
you like this!”
Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were
nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had
previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she
catches me fighting again, she’ll certainly give me another talking–to!
Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let
me help put medicine on you. Mackenzie probably has a meeting, so she
won’t be back early this evening, right?”
“I do have a first aid kit at home, but it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.” Emmanuel
turned down her kind offer. After fetching the first aid kit, he brought it back to
his room and took off his clothes to put on medicine by himself.
Unexpectedly, however, Sarah pushed the door open and entered
nheless. Seeing him covered in bruises, she eximed in shock, “Oh, my
God! Manuel, who did this to you?”
“It’s okay. Nothing serious, actually,” replied Emmanuel, trying to y it down.
Sarah sat down beside him and picked up the ointment with her fair hand.
“You can’t apply medicine to the bruises on your back, can you? Let me help
you!” As soon as she said that, she started doing it.
Unable to refuse her, Emmanuel had no choice but to reply, “Thank you!”
At the same time, a Bentley entered the neighborhood.
Having long named Mackenzie the prettiest woman in the neighborhood, the
security guards of Yociam Residence would always try to strike up
conversations with her on all kinds of topics. While the gate opened, he asked
with a smile, “Ms. Quillen, why isn’t Mr. Lowe bringing you home today?”
Mackenzie had no intention of answering. Much to her dismay, though, the
other security guard chimed in immediately, “Hey, are you stupid? Ms.
Quillen’s sister is here to pay a visit, isn’t she? Mr. Lowe has to y host to his
sister–inw, of course!”
Mackenzie’s attractive eyes darkened at once. She ordered Wally, “Drop me
off right downstairs!”
“Yes, Ms. Mackenzie!” Wally also sensed an undercurrent of rage emanating
from her. He was well aware of the rtionships between the three Quillen
sisters. Could it be Miss Sarah who’s visiting today?
As soon as the Bentley came to a stop, Mackenzie hurried upstairs with a
chilly expression on her pretty face. She couldn’t help feeling that Sarah was
approaching Emmanuel on purpose. Just what the hell is that woman up to?
This sister of mine has always liked to steal things from me, but she basically
never beat me on this. Don’t tell me she thinks she can steal my husband?
Howughable! She soon opened the door and darted her eyes around the
house. Seeing no signs of Emmanuel or Sarah, she stormed toward his room
in a threatening manner.
Seeing such a frosty beauty, the expert working on the balcony was actually
scared into silence for a moment!
hapter 497
What a frosty woman! But she’s so gorgeous! thought the expert.
Mackenzie never paid attention to this bystander, though. After pushing the
door open, she was stunned right away, and her beautiful eyes zed with
fury. Emmanuel was stripped to the waist in his room, while Sarah was
standing behind him, her fair hands fondling his back muscles continuously.
This is simply abominable! I’ve never been so intimate with this guy as his
wife! What gave this woman the nerve to do this?!
from
Emmanuel and Sarah promptly turned their heads toward the sudden sound.
“Mackenzie? You’re back so early today!” Emmanuel had surprise written all
over his face. Mackenzie had told him that he didn’t have to pick her up
work today. This led him to think that she was going to workte into the night
again, so he never thought she would return home as early as 6.00PM.
“Mackenzie!” Sarah also greeted her sister calmly. Not only did she show no
signs of feeling guilty, she even had a faint smile on her face.
“What are you doing?!” questioned Mackenzie icily.
Emmanuel hurriedly put on his shirt and walked over to her. “I’m hurt, so Sarah
was putting medicine on me!” he exined. Seeing the chilly expression on
Mackenzie’s face, he also feared that this icy wife of his would go ballistic.
However, Mackenzie wasn’t an ordinary woman. It was true that she was
fuming in her heart, but instead of flying into a rage, she immediately cared
about Emmanuel, asking, “How did you hurt yourself again?”
“I-” Emmanuel was just about to exin himself.
“Never mind, I’ll put medicine on youter.” Mackenzie’continued to be gentle,
with her husband. After that, however, she turned to stare coldly at Sarah.
“What are you doing in my house?”
“Mackenzie, I brought an expert here to help you two design the indoor
fountain!” exined Sarah frankly.
Mackenzie didn’t lose her temper, but she looked as icy as an ice sculpture
that could freeze people at any time. “It’s not necessary. You and your friend
may leave now!”
Sarah threw a nce at Emmanuel.
Emmanuel thought it was rather unkind to chase Sarah away like this. After

all, this sister–inw was here to help, and she had done nothing wrong. That
being said, he mustn’t take the wrong stance. So, he said apologetically,
“Sarah, thank you for your kindness. Why don’t you leave with your friend for
now?”
Sarah nodded while looking slightly displeased. Nevertheless, she replied with
a smile, “Okay, I won’t be keeping you and Mackenzie from spending time
together, then!” However, instead of leaving right after saying so, she handed
the ointment in her hand to Mackenzie. She instructed, “Manuel’s back is quite
badly bruised, and he can’t reach it. Mackenzie, you’ve got to help him rub
the bruise with the ointment, or he might have trouble sleeping tonight.”
Mackenzie let out a snort without taking the ointment from her.
As a result, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Emmanuel hurriedly came over and took the ointment. He said with a wry
smile, “I’ll do it myself. Sarah, why don’t you go back now?”
“Alright, Manuel. Take care of yourself, then. I gotta go!” Sarah showed no
signs of anger. She left nheless, taking her expert friend with her.
Mackenzie fixed Emmanuel with a cial stare as though he had cheated on
her.
Emmanuel felt both depressed and innocent. It scares me when I see such a
look in her eyes!
Luckily, Mackenzie didn’t quarrel with him over this. She instructed coldly,
“From now on, don’t let Sarah into our house without my permission. Do you
understand?”
“Yeah, I understand.” Emmanuel couldn’t help but get curious. “But why? She’s
also your younger sister. Why do you and Ms. Beatrix loathe her so much? You
two seem very prejudiced against her!”
