Chapter 617


    The young people came to the church to worship the old godfather during


    the New Year. It was a custom in the Hero’s Vige. The open space in front of


    the church was prepared specifically for them. Therefore, Terence,


    Alessandra, and Alfred did not enter the area designated for the youngsters.


    Instead, they chatted with other vigers on the side.


    When Queenie saw Emmanuel and his wife enter the open space, shè


    immediately walked over with a smile. “Emmanuel, is this your wife? She truly


    lives up to the rumors, so beautiful that it makes others feel ashamed!” After


    she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and giggled.


    Mackenzie, however, did notugh and remained cold as usual. Although


    Queenie’s hostile gaze disappeared in an instant, she believed she was not


    mistaken. Is it possible this woman has some special rtionship with


    Emmanuel? Otherwise, why would she be hostile toward me?


    “Yes, you’re right.” Emmanuel nodded. In the presence of others, he would not


    boast about marrying Mackenzie, but inexplicably, he felt a sense of fortune


    having her by his side in Queenie’s presence.


    “Hello, I’m Queenie! Emmanuel’s longtime childhood friend. He even


    pretended to be my groom and held me when we were kids. But


    unfortunately, when we grew up, he chose another bride. Maybe I wasn’t


    pretty enough…” She reached out to Mackenzie and added a


    self–deprecating remark.


    Mackenzie, however, looked at her coldly and showed no intention of shaking


    hands. As for Zaniel next to Queenie, she did not even nce at him from


    beginning to end. That was just her personality–she had no reason to waste

    time looking at or acknowledging strangers irrelevant to her.


    Queenie felt awkward and turned to Emmanuel, jokinglyining,


    “Emmanuel, your wife seems quite cool. Not very easy to get along with,


    こ


    huh?”


    Before he could answer, Mackenzie sneered. “There’s no need for you to get


    along with me. What difference does it make if I’m cold or not?”


    “Well…” Queenie immediately looked aggrieved and embarrassed.


    Some of the vigers could not help but speak up in her defense.


    “Queenie took the initiative to talk to her in a friendly manner, but Emmanuel’s


    wife doesn’t seem to understand courtesy.”


    “She may be beautiful, but a wife should adhere to the principles of


    obedience and virtue. Such a wife isn’t desirable!”


    “I wonder how he manages to deal with her. Maybe he married into the


    family and can’t speak up when his wife bullies him at home!”


    “If that’s the case, what’s the point of marrying a goddess?”


    Hearing thesements, Alessandra suddenly felt ufortable. Initially,


    Mackenzie’s arrival at the Hero’s Vige was a moment of great joy and


    excitement for her, but now, that feeling had been diluted.


    As thesements were not directed to their faces and were in a chaotic


    state, Emmanuel was unable to respond to those individuals despite


    overhearing them. He simply held Mackenzie’s hand and said gently, “Don’t


    mind them, Mackenzie.”


    She replied nonchntly, “As long as you don’t mind, I don’t care.”


    She had no further dealings with these people after leaving Hero’s Vige, so


    why would she care? Besides, it was true that she was not easy to get along


    with; that was something known throughout Yeringham, and there was no


    need to exin or hide it.


    “Pfft! So, you’re just a parasite, a kept–man!” Howard, who had been silent like


    a quail, finally spoke with a disdainful expression. After being treated poorly


    at Emmanuel’s home and fleeing, he finally found an opportunity to attack


    Emmanuel.
