Chapter 562
Meanwhile, Terence and a group of Quillen family women were having a
banquet in the Quillen residence’s main hall.
Beatrix suddenly burst in, skipping around and announcing, “We’re back,
everyone!”
Everyone quickly turned their attention to the cheerful member of the Quillen
family, but their gaze soon shifted to Mackenzie, who entered after her.
“Oh? Mackenzie is finally back!”
“I’ve been expecting your return for so long, Mackenzie! Has work been
upying you? Come on in and have some warm broth. It’s cold outside!”
“Exactly. It’s always so cold around the New Year! Why are you still working so
hard, Mackenzie? The festive season ising up!”
The group of women from the family hurriedly gathered around Mackenzie,
causing Beatrix to pout. “Everyone! Am I transparent to you? Did I just slip your
mind, or what? I stayed upte with Mackenzie at work too!”
“Alright, alright. You’ve also put in a lot of effort. Come and have some broth!”
After saying this, Samantha ruffled her tiny head and pulled her over to the
dining table.
“Thank you, Aunt Samantha!” Though Beatrix’s anger burned brightly
momentarily, it quickly dissipated behind the veneer of a cheerful exterior.
Before the food was served, however, she saw Sarahing out with her
arm linked to Felicity’s, and she immediately pulled a long face. “Well, look
who’s here. Sarah Quillen! How dare youe back to our house, you
shameless woman?!” Suddenly, she transformed into a ferocious wild horse,
escaping from Samantha’s grasp and charging madly toward Sarah.
The entire family was taken aback and couldn’t help but wonder what had
happened between the two sisters.
“What are you talking about, Beatrix?” Sarah wore a face of innocence along
with a bitter smile. “I am a member of the Quillen family, and I haven’t even
gotten married yet. Where else should I go if not back here?”
“You’re still trying to pretend, aren’t you?” Beatrix’s temper red when she
saw her sister’s innocent expression. With a hysterical grabbing and pulling
off her sleeves, she shouted, “Confess already! Did you intentionally try to
seduce Emmanuel? How shameless can you be to do such a despicable
thing?”

“What?!”
Beatrix’s words undoubtedly elicited a strong reaction from the Quillen family,
so it was not surprising that they were stunned to hear this statement.
“Let go, Beatrix! Let go of me! It hurts-” Unable to break free from her sister’s
grip, Sarah nearly cried.

While watching the event unfold, Mackenzie intervened to stop Beatrix
despite knowing that Sarah was feigning her vulnerability. “Enough, Beatrix!”
When Beatrix heard this, she withdrew her hand and snorted, but she did not
expect Felicity to approach and p her across the face!
p!
After that, the joyful atmosphere in the hall immediately turned awkward.
“W–Why did you p me, Mom?” While saying this, Beatrix covered her
stinging cheek, grievance written all over her face.
On the other hand, Felicity stared at her with a stern expression. “How dare
you question why I pped you? Have you forgotten about respecting your
elders? Sarah is your elder sister. How could youy a hand on her?”
“But Mom-”
Beatrix attempted to exin, but Felicity interrupted coldly, “Don’t you know
how popr Sarah is among men? Even so, she has always maintained her
integrity. Let’s put aside the fact that she would never try to seduce someone
like Emmanuel. Even if they were together, he would most likely be the sneaky
one who isn’t content with having just one woman!”
“Mom, you should be reasonable-”
“Stop talking ande back, Beatrix!” Mackenzie interjected right as Beatrix
began to argue with Felicity.
“What on earth is going on?!” With the aid of his cane, Terence rose to his feet
in a rage, determined to find out what was going on. He had absolute trust in
Emmanuel. That boy is too innocent. How could he possibly seduce Sarah?
