Chapter 577


    As Emmanuel entered the Quillen residence, a sense of unease washed over


    him. He had anticipated tonight’s reunion dinner to be like the previous one,


    perhaps with arger gathering. However, it exceeded his expectations with


    stunningnterns and festoon decorations. The harmoniousnterns and the


    bustling atmosphere gave the impression of a regal celebration in a grand


    imperial pce garden.


    What’s going on? He was taken aback to discover that the Quillen family’s


    reunion dinner this year was being held in a separate building. With its three


    floors, front and back gardens, and hundreds of tables, the venue was


    brimming with guests!


    “T–This is too extravagant!” He was suddenly overwhelmed by immense


    pressure, his eyes widening in astonishment.


    Samantha noticed his expression and chuckled proudly, saying, “Almost the


    entire town of Yeringham is eager to curry favor with the Quillen family.


    Anyone with even the slightest family connection will be here tonight, seeking


    to revel in our glory. We also have numerous wealthy merchants and tycoons


    attending. Even second–tier celebrities are seizing this opportunity to make


    an appearance. They view tonight’s reunion dinner as a golden chance to


    expand their social connections. Understand?”


    He nodded, grasping the situation to some extent. So, this is the lifestyle and


    socializing of the upper ss.


    As he pondered the future and considered the inevitable encounters he


    would have once his rtionship with Mackenzie became public, a myriad of


    emotions surged within him. Nevertheless, could he forsake his beloved wife


    simply because he did not wish to attend such asions?


    “Hehe. You finally see how remarkable your wife’s family is, don’t you? By the


    way, let me remind you, never disappoint Mackenzie in the future!” With a


    smile, Samantha continued, “Our Mackenzie is the number one beauty in


    Yeringham. Wealthy heirs have been chasing after her relentlessly for years.


    Everyone is eager to see who will marry her in the end. If you ever make her


    even slightly sad or upset, I guarantee there will be no shortage of men who


    wants to take you down!”


    “Got it, Aunt Samantha!” He forced a bitter smile, nodding as the pressure on


    him intensified.


    Not to mention the Quillen family’s current influence, Emmanuel would not


    have dared to mistreat Mackenzie even before! He had always been the one


    being bullied.


    Meanwhile, on the top floor of the banquet building, Beatrix burst into the


    room where Mackenzie was. Her chest heaved as she caught her breath,


    which added a sense of liveliness to her appearance.


    “What’s wrong? You look anxious.” Mackenzie was in the middle of her


    makeup.


    Today’s banquet held great significance for her as Terence had insisted on


    publicly announcing her rtionship with Emmanuel. She naturally


    understood Terence’s intention; he did not want her to act willfully and


    divorce Emmanuel as easily as she had done before.


    “Mackenzie, Aunt Samantha has brought Emmanuel here. Have you… truly


    decided your mind to announce your rtionship with him?” Beatrix still

    found it hard to believe.


    As if his presence qt the Quillen family dinner was not already shocking


    enough, they now had to announce their rtionship before such arge


    audience. It was bound to create a seismic event in Yeringham!


    After all, only a few people were aware of what had transpired between


    Mackenzie and Emmanuel in the past three months. The majority still held the


    impression of her as the cold and aloof female CEO with misandry.


    “I haven’t decided yet.” She adjusted her earrings while casually responding,


    “I’ll simply go with the flow and see how things unfold.”


    “Huh? But-” Beatrix looked at the current Mackenzie and finally realized she


    had undergone a subtle yet profound transformation.


    At that moment, Lexi suddenly appeared from behind and patted Beatrix’s


    shoulder with an amused smile. “Ms. Beatrix, do you remember the bet we


    made three months ago?”


    “Huh? …” Beatrix’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment.


    “Alright, you two. Did you make a bet involving me?” Mackenzie turned


    around, her wise eyes gazing at them.


    Lexi quickly responded with a smile. “Ms. Quillen, it was Ms. Beatrix who started


    the bet. She said that if your marriage with Emmanuel couldst until the


    New Year, she would immediately get herself a boyfriend!”


    “Oh?” Mackenzie nced at Beatrix with an ambiguous smile.
