Chapter 506


    Samantha had watched over Mackenzie all her life.


    When Mackenzie was a child, there had been rumors of her not being


    Felicity’s biological daughter, fueled by theck of resemnce between the


    two of them. On the other hand, Mackenzie did look a bit like Samantha.


    Samantha had remained single all this while, so she treated Mackenzie like


    her own daughter.


    It could be said that her rtionship with Mackenzie was even stronger than


    the mother–daughter bond between Mackenzie and Felicity, so naturally, she


    knew just how much Mackenzie stayed away from men.


    Samantha always thought that she was partly the reason for that, as she too


    had never fallen in love with a man before. Therefore, she was extremely


    worried that Mackenzie would stay single forever, just like her!


    She had been the most thrilled to hear the news of Mackenzie getting


    married and was dying to meet her husband. She kept wondering what kind


    of man had won over Mackenzie’s cold heart.


    Although Felicity was the one who suggested having this dinner, Samantha


    was the one who wanted it to happen the most, and so it only stood to


    reason that she didn’t mince words when she figured that Felicity had


    chased the man off!


    “What do you mean by that?”


    Felicity never got along with Samantha, and Samantha’s bluntness only


    made her respond with a simrly frigid expression.


    “What do I mean by that? You understand the words, don’t you?”


    Samantha didn’t go easy on Felicity as she ripped into her. “You’re the one


    who decided to have this dinner. Everyone came over just so they could take


    a look at Mackenzie’s husband and see what kind of a man he is, but you took


    it upon yourself to chase him off! Are you toying with us?”


    Felicity turned red with fury and the veins on her forehead started throbbing.


    Qut of the entire Quillen family, Samantha was the one who treated her the


    most poorly.


    Felicity had put up with it many times now, but she wasn’t going to put it with


    Samantha wagging her finger at her.


    The two women were at loggerheads but neither Mackenzie nor Beatrix


    showed any sign of stopping them. Sarah had to grit her teeth and do it


    herself!


    “Don’t me it on Mom, Aunt Samantha. Emmanuel was the one who chose


    to leave!”


    Sarah was the only one who would stand up for Felicity.


    The other Quillen women simply watched in silence.


    Samantha snorted. “Your brother–inw chose to leave, huh? Are you taking


    us for fools or are you saying he’s one? Why would hee all the way here


    only to leave for no apparent reason? Why would he havee over in the


    first ce?”


    “Well..” Sarah had nothing to say. Samantha was involved in politics, so


    naturally, she had a way with words and a logical mind to go with that.


    “Get out of the way!” Samantha wasn’t all that polite with Sarah either. She


    shoved her away and continued to rebuke Felicity. “You’re going to have to


    answer us today! You’re the one who set up this dinner. All of us dropped


    everything else, including work, just so we coulde over, and yet you


    drove off the star of today’s dinner! Do you think our time can be wasted like


    that or do you have no respect for us at all?”


    She kept inching her way closer to Felicity who backed away in response.


    “Show me a little more respect, Samantha!” Felicity couldn’t take it anymore


    and exploded in rage. “Yes, this house belongs to the Quillen family, but


    you’re just the Quillen family’s daughters! I’m the daughter–inw! I’m the


    matriarch of this family!”


    ording to Chanaea’s local customs, women could not represent their


    maiden families, especially if they were married. They would be considered


    part of their husband’s family instead.


    Even though Samantha was single, ording to the local customs, her


    brother’s wife was the matriarch of the family, not her!


    “Have you people ever treated me like I’m a part of your family? All of you


    have always treated me poorly as if I’m an outsider!”


    The more Felicity let out, the more agitated she became. She threw all


    propriety and decorum out the window. “Emmanuel’s my son–inw. Am I


    not allowed to have a private conversation with him? Are you Mackenzie’s


    mother, or am I? What right do you have to stick your nose into my


    conversation with my son–inw? Do you think that you, Mackenzie’s aunt,


    can have any kind of say in her marriage?”


    Felicity seemed to be on the verge of hysteria. None of the other Quillen


    women wanted to argue with her now.


    On the other hand, Samantha was a straight shooter who didn’t care about


    showing courtesy, so she fired right back. “I’m Mackenzie’s aunt! We share the


    samest name! We all grew up in this family, so why can’t we care about


    Mackenzie’s happiness? Meanwhile, you’re the one who married into this

    family, but I’m guessing that your heart’s still with your maiden family, huh?


    Don’t think I don’t know about all the times you’ve taken things that belonged


    to the Quillen family and fed it back to the Lenoir family. You’ve been living off


    us and yet secretly helping your maiden family!”


    Many of the Quillen family members knew about this but no one ever


    brought it up in public because they wanted to keep the peace. They never


    thought Samantha would bring it up right in front of everyone today! Things


    were taking a turn for the worse!


    Once again, Mackenzie couldn’t stop Samantha in time. Her head was about


    to explode!
