Chapter 357
It may not be as bad as it sounds, but that doesn’t mean it’s good news.”
Terence heaved a heavy sigh and walked away with his hands behind his
back. Soon after, Alfred followed closely behind him with his head bowed.
As they turned back to the living room, they saw Felicity approaching from
the opposite direction. Alfred noticed she was heading toward Mackenzie’s
room and said nothing to stop her.
In the meantime, she knocked on her daughter’s bedroom door, and after
receiving no response, she gently nudged it open. Sigh! Even now, she tends
to leave her doors unlocked. Then, she walked in and closed the door behind
her but couldn’t see her daughter in the room. Where could she be hiding in
this over 1000 square foot space with several other rooms?
“Get out!”
At this instant, Felicity was startled to hear Mackenzie’s voice shouting from
the en–suite bathroom. Clearly, Mackenzie had heard someone enter her
room, and although she did not know who it was, she knew it was not

However, Felicity did not leave but sighed as she slowly approached the
bathroom door. “I’ve always told you that women should never feel love for

the only way we can make sure we have no weaknesses! Forget everything
that has happened in the past two months and just picture it all as a
nightmare.” She continued to preach.
After receiving no response from her daughter, she knew she had
accomplished her goal. Since the beginning, I have never supported
Mackenzie and Emmanuel’s decision to get married. How could such a man
be worthy of my daughter? Also, my daughter’s marriage to such a man
would only lead to our family’s fall from grace, which I will never allow. Sadly, I

am powerless to do anything while Terence is still around, and this family
only listens to him. In addition, I will have to wait for a rift in the marriage
before convincing my daughter to leave Emmanuel. I have always believed
that if two people come from vastly different backgrounds, they will never be
able to successfully navigate the challenges of a committed relationship. I’m
determined to prove to Terence that he’s wasting his time. It appears that my
speculations have come to fruition. At this thought, she proposed, “I’ll contact
