A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496 

“Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of 

courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t speculate about what the security guard 

was thinking. 

Sarah explained with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on 

the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any 

updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it. 

That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both 

you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!” 

Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly 

reject this sister–in–law’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and 

Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found 

anything wrong with her so far. He thought she was quite nice and thus saw 

no reason to keep her at arm’s length. 

Soon after that, the three of them arrived upstairs, and the expert started to 

help with the fountain. 

Emmanuel was discussing the construction plan with the expert when Sarah 

suddenly came to his side. She asked in surprise, “Manuel, what’s wrong with 

your face? It seems somewhat swollen.” She gently pressed the lower side of 

his chin. 

Emmanuel quickly stepped back in pain. These were the injuries he had 

suffered while getting into a fight in the Lenoir residence today, but he didn’t 

tell Sarah about it. 

Sarah was smarter than he imagined, though. Noticing the dirt on his shirt, 

she anxiously asked, “Manuel, don’t tell me you got into a fight with 

somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if she comes back and sees 

you like this!” 

Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were 

nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had 

previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she 

catches me fighting again, she’ll certainly give me another talking–to! 

Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let 

me help put medicine on you. Mackenzie probably has a meeting, so she 

won’t be back early this evening, right?” 

“I do have a first aid kit at home, but it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.” Emmanuel 

turned down her kind offer. After fetching the first aid kit, he brought it back to 

his room and took off his clothes to put on medicine by himself. 

Unexpectedly, however, Sarah pushed the door open and entered 

nonetheless. Seeing him covered in bruises, she exclaimed in shock, “Oh, my 

God! Manuel, who did this to you?” 

“It’s okay. Nothing serious, actually,” replied Emmanuel, trying to play it down. 

Sarah sat down beside him and picked up the ointment with her fair hand. 

“You can’t apply medicine to the bruises on your back, can you? Let me help 

you!” As soon as she said that, she started doing it. 

Unable to refuse her, Emmanuel had no choice but to reply, “Thank you!” 

At the same time, a Bentley entered the neighborhood. 

Having long named Mackenzie the prettiest woman in the neighborhood, the 

security guards of Yociam Residence would always try to strike up 

conversations with her on all kinds of topics. While the gate opened, he asked 

with a smile, “Ms. Quillen, why isn’t Mr. Lowe bringing you home today?” 

Mackenzie had no intention of answering. Much to her dismay, though, the 

other security guard chimed in immediately, “Hey, are you stupid? Ms. 

Quillen’s sister is here to pay a visit, isn’t she? Mr. Lowe has to play host to his
