Chapter 25
The corporate world was ever–changing. The rise and
fall of families happened in the blink of an eye, so it
was impossible for any family to remain one of the four
prominent families forever.
Therefore, the four prominent families of Yeringham
were nothing but a term for the convenience of the
gossipmongers. They were only meant to describe the
four wealthiest families of the current time.
“Do you know which four families they are? I heard that
the outstanding young heirs and heiresses of those
families will be joining the banquet this time.”
Roselynn was thirty years old, and she was a beautiful
and mature woman. Yet, she was fawning over men
like she was an eighteen–year–old girl.
“Um, I only know about the Quillen family,” Emmanuel
replied honestly.
He was only a gynecologist who had just retired from
the army. How could he possibly know everything
about the corporate world?
He only knew about the Quillen family because that
family had remained the wealthiest family in
Yeringham for ten years.
“You dummy! The rest of the four prominent families
are the Verkade family, the Zelinsky family, and the
Lenoir family!”
Roselynn poked Emmanuel’s head. “Remember this: My
employer is the daughter of the Lenoir family, and
she’s the one who gave me the invitation.”
“Oh, I
See.”
Emmanuel nodded. He had seen his sister’s supposed
employer by chance before.
She was a woman in her early twenties named
Claudette Lenoir. Although she came from a
prestigious family, she had chosen to work her way up
from the bottom of the ladder after her graduation.
However, the position she was in was not her actual
position. She was only starting from the basics to
familiarize herself with the company. Everyone in the
office knew that she was the heiress of the company.
Back then, she had some gynecological problems
which she had trouble seeking doctors for, so Roselynn
recommended she visit Emmanuel.
Emmanuel did not know why she had actually gone to
him instead, but regardless of everything, he cured her.
Back then, Emmanuel had expressionlessly asked her
to take off her pants. Claudette had been
embarrassed, but Emmanuel was unfazed. In fact, he
could barely remember her because he had seen too
many women’s bodies.
“Is that your only response? At least pretend to be
jealous!” Roselynn grumbled, displeased with her
brother’s reaction.
Her employer was young and rich, and that was something many people strived for and dreamed of.
Still hearing nothing from Emmanuel, Roselynn shot him a glare before crying out, “Oh, your wife is called Mackenzie Quillen, right? Could it be that she’s the
daughter of the Quillen family?”
How could people of their status know many details
about the wealthiest families?
They could only make guesses.
Emmanuel shook his head in amusement right away,
however. “How could that be? She’s worlds apart from
them.”
The Quillen family was the richest family in Yeringham.
If Mackenzie was the daughter of the Quillen family,
she would have a net worth of more than tens of
billions. How could she possibly be living in a house of
two hundred square meters?
Even though it was still a big house, it was nowhere
near as luxurious as the houses that the tycoons lived
“But I hear that the daughter of the Quillen family is
also twenty–seven years old. Apparently, she doesn’t
like men; she likes women…” Roselynn trailed off, finally
registering what she was talking about.
How could her sister–in–law be a lesbian if she had
married her brother?
Furthermore, Emmanuel told her that he had been
previously dating his wife for many years. If the
daughter of the Quillen family had been dating a man
for so many years, the media would have caught wind
of it a long time ago, and there wouldn’t be any rumors
about her sexuality.
