Chapter 578


    “Hmph! I’m a woman of my word! So what if I lose the bet? I’ll find myself a


    boyfriend!” Beatrix immediately patted her chest as she dered.


    In actuality, witnessing Mackenzie’s sweet yetplex marriage had her


    secretly yearning to experience the taste of love for herself. The problem is,


    where can I find someone like Emmanuel? Ugh. Why am I even thinking about


    finding a man like him?


    “Well, I’ll help you find one today,” Mackenzie added.


    “Huh? Today?” Beatrix resisted, saying, “The men attending today are those


    spoiled rich brats like Hubert. Why would I want them?”


    “Hubert is here too?” Mackenzie frowned.


    Lexi quickly chimed in. “Ms. Quillen, the Verkade family is known for being


    fickle and unscrupulous. They may have resorted to seeking a marriage


    alliance since they failed to bring us down in the business world even with


    the support of the Lenoir family.”


    “Pfft! In their dreams!” Beatrix immediately stated, “Hubert better behave


    himself today. If he dares to make any disgusting moves, I won’t hesitate to


    put him in his ce!”


    Witnessing her fierce demeanor, Lexi and Mackenzie exchanged knowing


    smiles. Finding a boyfriend for her within a month may be challenging!


    At that moment, the reunion dinner was about tomence on the top floor


    banquet hall.


    More than half of the attendees were filled with anticipation and curiosity as


    rumors had already circted about Mackenzie’s secret marriage. What


    made it even more intriguing was that her husband was a nobody!


    “Everyone praises Ms. Quillen for her exceptional wisdom and extraordinary


    foresight, but I dare say she’s blind! Mr. Verkade has been sincerely pursuing


    her for years, yet she rejected him and instead chose to marry a worthless


    nobody!” At the table, a man dressed in a white suit struck a pretentious


    pose, raising his wine ss with a sneer as he spoke.


    As all eyes immediately turned to Hubert beside him, he was clearly in a sour


    mood and downed another ss of wine.


    A while ago, the Verkade family had teamed up with the Lenoir family to


    crush the Quillen family in the business world. He eagerly anticipated their


    downfall, hoping it would give him more leverage when he eventually tried to


    marry Mackenzie. However, to his surprise, the Lenoir family had backed out


    halfway, and now, it appeared that Mackenzie intended to publicly announce


    her rtionship with Emmanuel. This turn of events had crumbled his hopes


    and eliminated his chance to pursue her!


    The mere thought of the woman he had loved for years bing someone


    else’s ything was unbearable. It felt as if someone was constantly tugging


    at his pain receptors, and the torment would only cease when a bloody strip


    was ripped away.


    “Mr. Verkade, you appear rather distressed.” The man in the white suit leaned


    closer to Hubert’s ear and whispered, “How about I lend you a hand in getting


    your hands on her before that nobody does? Wouldn’t that be more thrilling


    than anything else?”


    Hubert’s spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this. With his experience in


    ?? ? ? ?? ?? ? ??


    wooing women, he could easily discern that Mackenzie had not yet been


    intimate with Emmanuel, judging from the way she walked like a novice who


    still guarded her chastity with tightly closed legs. If he was destined to fail in


    capturing her heart, taking her virginity would at least be a conquest in his


    life!


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Hehe, isn’t that inappropriate? It’s too harsh!”


    “But it’s also quite thrilling and entertaining, hahaha…”


    Humans were like birds of a feather flocking together. Those seated with


    Hubert were undoubtedly unsavory characters. They treated women as


    mere ythings, employing all sorts of devious tactics!


    In the past, he would never have dared to engage in such behavior. After all,


    the influence of the Quillen family was at stake, and today’s event was held


    on their turf. However, if he did not take action now, the woman he had loved


    for years would lose her virginity to that nobody, Emmanuel!


    At that moment, Mackenzie made her entrance. As he beheld the


    breathtaking woman in elegant white attire, he whispered to Hugo Zelinsky


    with darkened eyes, “If you can help me fulfill my wish, I promise I won’t treat


    you unfairly!”
