Chapter 587


    “Aunt Hannah, I’ll toast to your good health!” Emmanuel poured another ss


    of wine and raised it to a young woman, smiling.


    He wasn’t good at socializing, especially atrge family gatherings like this,


    but he had gradually improved and no longer bluntly addressed people by


    their full names.


    “No need. I don’t drink!” Hannah Quillen didn’t even spare a nce at


    Emmanuel and refused coldly.


    O


    In her eyes, Emmanuel was not worthy of being paired with Mackenzie, and


    their rtionship wouldn’tst long anyway.


    Right now, Mackenzie was still in the honeymoon phase with him, but given


    some more time and once she got tired of this, they would naturally break


    1. up. Hannah felt she didn’t need to entertain such a man.


    She had never seen a case where a rtionship with such arge status gap


    couldst for a lifetime.


    Emmanuel felt a bit embarrassed by her attitude, even though he was


    mentally prepared for it. It didn’t feel good after all.


    “Haha, that’s enough! Emmanuel, you don’t need to toast everyone


    individually anymore! Otherwise, young man, you might not be able to finish


    this New Year’s Eve dinner!” Terence called a stop to it after Emmanuel had


    toasted to the main members of the Quillen family, relieving Emmanuel from


    his duty.


    Terence was worried that even with Emmanuel’s high alcohol tolerance, he


    might copse at any moment after drinking so much if he continued to


    toast to them one by one!


    Emmanuel secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised another ss to toast the


    others, and then sat back beside Mackenzie.


    Just as Mackenzie had expected, he was indeed not good at socializing, but


    when he came to visit his inws, he had to make the effort even if he wasn’t


    good at it!


    That was what Alessandra had repeatedly instructed him. When the inws


    were evaluating a son–inw, the first thing they looked at was whether he


    could speak well. If he still dared to be as dull as before, no one would like him


    for sure!


    “All right, let’s start the meal!” Terence proimed, and everyone started


    eating.


    Alfred had been standing silently behind Terence, squinting as if he were


    asleep, but he had been observing Emmanuel all along.


    This kid has drunk so much, yet he could still hold on. His internal strength is


    really something! It seemed like he has made progresspared to before!


    In the next moment, Emmanuel quietly asked Mackenzie, “Why don’t I see


    your mother and Sarah?”


    As soon as Mackenzie heard Sarah’s name, her mood turned sour. “Don’t ask


    what you shouldn’t ask; just eat!”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Oh…”


    Emmanuel shrugged, adopting a “better not know” attitude, and decided not


    to continue asking.


    Not long after, there was a suddenmotion in the banquet hall.


    People began screaming one after another!


    “What the heck? How is it appropriate for a bunch of grown men to do this?”


    “How is this being live–streamed? Can they even broadcast this?”


    “Wait… Aren’t those Mr. Verkade and his friends?”


    People began screaming in shock while staring at their phones.


    Curiosity killed the cat, and those with poor mental endurance wished they


    could poke their own eyes out after just a nce.


    Mackenzie didn’t need to look at her phone; she immediately knew what had


    happened and nced directly at Beatrix.


    “It has nothing to do with me. It’s not like I forced them to do this. I just helped


    them set up the live stream. They brought this upon themselves…” Beatrix


    stuck out her tongue innocently, lookingpletely meless.


    Mackenzie immediately stood up and walked toward the room before.


    Although Hubert deserved it, his identity still mattered, and this was the


    Quillen residence. If the situation escted, the Verkade family would


    definitely cause trouble for them.


    Emmanuel quickly followed suit. He had originally intended to give Hubert


    and his friends a small punishment, but now it seemed like things had gotten


    out of hand!


    “Mackenzie! Mackenzie!” Before Mackenzie could open the door, Beatrix


    intercepted her. “Don’t open it! The scene inside is extremely explicit, and it’s


    not suitable for children. I’m afraid it will cause you mental harm!”


    Mackenzie gave her a look, and Beatrix obediently stepped aside.


    Click. Mackenzie opened the door again, and sure enough, her forehead


    immediately furrowed deeply.


    “It is explicit indeed!” Mackenzie had a much higher tolerance than Beatrix.


    Seeing the naked men lying on the floor panting, she immediately ordered


    the Quillen family’s bodyguards, “Take them away!”


    “Yes, Ms. Mackenzie!”
