Chapter 589


    “Haha! I won’t make any trouble in here, I promise!” Of course, Quintus dared


    not act impudent in front of his goddess and Alfred as he had just now. He


    gave in right away, looking not at all like a wealthy scion but like a real


    scoundrel. However, just when the assistant butler also thought he was going


    to leave in dejection, he continued with a big grin, “I’m here to duel with


    Emmanuel, Mackenzie. He can’t be together with you as long as he’s yet to


    get past me! After all, I’m his number one love rival!”


    Both Emmanuel and Mackenzie were speechless. So what if you’re a love


    rival? Do you have to proim yourself number one?! You’re truly the most


    self–important man in Yeringham!


    Alfred put his hands inside his sleeves. “Mr. Lenoir, Emmanuel’s rtionship


    with Ms. Mackenzie has been made public tonight, so he’s now considered.a


    member of the Quillen family. If you want toe after him at the Quillen


    residence, you’re gonna have to walk over my dead body!” he warned in an


    impassive voice that nheless carried a sense of intimidating pressure.


    Immediately, Quintus replied with a grin, “Haha! Thest thing I want is to fight


    with an old man. After all, respecting the elderly and caring for the young are


    virtues of mine. Well then, Mr. Grishaw, I can cancel my duel with Emmanuel


    today out of respect for you. That being said, he must go with me now!”


    “Mr. Lenoir, please stop this nonsense and go back now!” Alfred advised


    again. Emmanuel is the star of today’s dinner party! How can he be taken


    away halfway through it?


    Mackenzie had no intention of talking to Quintus either. She was just about to


    turn around and return to the dinner party, but to her dismay, Emmanuel


    asked, “Quintus Lenoir, just what else are you here for?”


    “Did you forget it?! F*ck you!” swore Quintus. “Didn’t you promise to visit


    udette every day? Today’s the second day already, and she’s in an urgent


    condition again!”


    Just as expected, he’s here for this! Both Mackenzie and Emmanuel had


    figured just now that this was Quintus‘ real motive foring here. And yet,


    this self–important man had imed that he wanted to challenge Emmanuel

    to a duel.


    “Okay, I’ll go with you!” agreed Emmanuel at once. After all, he had promised


    this himself, and a promise was a promise.


    In an instant, Mackenzie’s eyes quivered, and she froze somewhat.


    Fearing that she would object to it, Emmanuel quickly turned to look at her.


    “Sorry, Mackenzie! Now that udette’s condition has worsened, I have to go


    check on her first.”


    Mackenzie’s scarlet lips parted for a moment. In the end, she turned around


    and returned to the dinner party without saying a word. What else can I say?


    Can I forbid Emmanuel from going? udette saved both of our lives, after


    all, she thought to herself. That being said, I am his wife. How can I pretend to


    be open–minded and nonchnt about it when my husband is leaving


    halfway through my family’s dinner party at which he just made his debut-


    to see another woman? I’m not that kind of woman! So, what else can I do.


    other than keep silent? Her silence was both an expression of tacit consent


    and an indication that she was seething inwardly.


    Taking in this scene, Alfred’s narrowed eyes widened slightly; his lips curled


    into a meaningful smile. Seems like Ms. Mackenzie has really changed! She’d


    brighten up or get angry because of a man, for whom she’d also make


    concessions and changes. It’s not known yet whether Quintus is Emmanuel’s


    number one love rival, but one thing seems to be certain: udette is


    definitely Ms. Mackenzie’s number one love rival!


    All Emmanuel could do was heave a silent sigh while looking at his wife from


    behind. He really wanted to do his best in front of her today, and he also


    wanted to maintain his marriage to her. However, he really couldn’t leave


    udette alone.


    “Haha! Let’s go!” No one was more delighted than Quintus; not only did he


    ruin Emmanuel’s debut at the Quillen residence, but he also managed to take


    the man back to see his sister. As long as I keep on making mischief without


    shame, Mackenzie will throw Emmanuel out sooner orter. Yeah, I’m the


    man who knows her best!


    And thus, Mackenzie returned to the dinner party alone.
