Chapter 881


    Chapter 881 Running Into Ashton


    This scene felt very familiar to Mackenzie. Hadn’t she yed a simr role as Nathan at the banquets


    in Yeringham? She hadn’t expected that she would be so inconspicuous and insignificant tonight.


    As Nathan descended the uniquely designed staircase while casually greeting his enthusiastic fans,


    she couldn’t help but carefully observe the man. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a good figure, a


    trendy hairstyle, and earrings, not to mention a smile bearing a hint of arrogance and indulgence! The


    slightly rebellious nobleman type was definitely the most irresistible to women.

    However, what surprised her was the fact that a high and mighty young heir like him had a cast on one


    hand, which was also covered in bandages, while bruises on his face indicated that he had just


    suffered an injury.


    “M–Mr. Chapman!” Even the proud Duncan had no choice but to bow and greet Nathan.


    Nathan’s mouth curled up with a hint of mischief. “Ms. Quillen here is my esteemed guest. If you have


    the sense to step aside now, it will be easier for you. But if you dare to bother her, we will have to do it


    the hard way. Do you understand?”


    Beads of cold sweat immediately broke out on Duncan’s forehead as he nodded repeatedly and wisely


    stepped


    aside.


    Mackenzie felt shocked. How strong and influential Nathan had to be for even noble–born heirs to fear


    him! However, she also felt a little uneasy since if he had ulterior motives towards her, she would be in


    great trouble!


    “If I’m not mistaken, you must be Miss Quillen, right?” Nathan smiled at her.


    “Yes.” She nodded expressionlessly.


    “Haha. You do deserve the reputation of being the most beautiful woman in Yeringham. After seeing


    you today, hmm-I think you’re perfect and wless!” Nathan was indeed as charming as the rumors had


    suggested, openly scrutinizing her from head to toe while making hisments.

    “You tter me, Mr. Chapman.” Her lips slightly curled in a way that didn’t resemble a smile. “There are


    beautiful women everywhere who are perfect. Besides, all women have the same facial features, and


    we are all the same biologically!”


    Mackenzie wanted to deliberately dispel the other party’s curiosity about her with those words; as long


    as a man didn’t be curious or intrigued about her, he wouldn’t like her.


    “Haha, you are really interesting, Ms. Quillen! Pleasee in!” Nathan didn’t waste any time and


    directly invited Mackenzie upstairs.


    Just as the two were about to enter a room, a woman approached them from the other end of the


    corridor.


    Mackenzie was slightly taken aback when she saw this woman, while the woman seemed a little


    annoyed at the sight of Mackenzie and eximed, “Mackenzie, why are you here?”


    Mackenzie’s lips moved slightly, but she didn’t say anything. She didn’t have a good rtionship with


    Ashton, nor was she interested in why Ashton was here, so she had nothing to say to thetter.


    “Oh, do you know each other?” Nathan was also surprised but smiled at Ashton. “If you want to see


    her, you’ll have to wait. She’s with me now.”


    “Hmph, I’m not looking for her, so do as you please!” Ashton’s attitude toward Mackenzie and Nathan


    wasn’t pleasant either, and she walked past them without a word.


    The Summertons and the Chapmans were both prominent business families in Chanaea and had some


    connections between them, so Ashton had known Nathan since childhood. Although she was also


    beautiful and had a pair of long, shapely legs, he had never pursued her. It wasn’t that he wasn’t


    interested, but he simply couldn’t win against her. He used to get beaten up by her quite often when


    they had been kids, so how could he develop any feelings for her?
