A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 

Mackenzie called Beatrix to have dinner together that night. 

To put it more accurately, it was for a drink rather than dinner. 

1/6 

The establishment they were at was one of the Quillen family’s 

businesses. They used to frequent the place for dinner, but it was their first 

since Mackenzie had gotten married. 

“Is there something on your mind, Mackenzie? Why are you drinking so 

much?” 

Beatrix didn’t notice something was going on with Mackenzie at first 

because the latter was good at hiding her feelings and thoughts. 

In other words, Mackenzie never let anything bother her. 

After she gulped down the eighth glass of alcohol that night, Beatrix finally 

realized something was wrong and that Mackenzie was trying to get 

herself drunk. 

“I’m fine. It’s just the cold weather. I’m having some alcohol to fend off the 

chills,” Mackenzie explained. 

This is a problem and a big one at that! 

Beatrix knew Mackenzie never cared to explain anything. Thus when 

Mackenzie intentionally found an excuse to have alcohol, it simply proved 

she was instinctively trying to play it off. 

“Mackenzie, did Emmanuel do something bad again?” 

Beatrix didn’t dare to imply that Emmanuel could bully Mackenzie. After all, 

no living creature on the planet could harass her cousin. 

“Hmph! When has he ever done anything good?” Mackenzie spat coldly. 

The Emmanuel she knew was an idiot. He would be troubled over a bit of 

money and never realized who was the one on his side helping him. He 

didn’t even know who she was and kept talking back to her. 

“Now, that’s where you’re wrong, Mackenzie.” 

Beatrix objected, “He dealt with the thugs at the project site and settled the logo issue. He even saved you once. I think he’s pretty awesome!” 

Mackenzie was stunned as Beatrix listed down everything Emmanuel had 

done. 

Actually, she didn’t know why she had a stuffy feeling in her chest for the 

whole night. Comprehension finally dawned upon her when Beatrix 

pointed it out. 

Am I feeling like this because of that idiot’s words? No way! How is that 

possible? I’m Mackenzie Quillen! I don’t get upset over some man’s words. 

“Whatever! Let’s not talk about that idiot anymore! Drink!” 

Mackenzie forced Beatrix to down another glass of liquor. 

Being the sharp-witted person she was, Beatrix secretly emptied the 

contents onto the floor after clinking glasses. 

Mackenzie noticed Beatrix’s action but didn’t expose her. She didn’t care 

3/6 

whether Beatrix actually drank with her. She just wanted some company 

that night. 

Beatrix finally helped a drunken Mackenzie leave the building around ten 

at night. 

Unlike before, they ended up in different vehicles. 

Mackenzie had a thing for controlling everything around her ever since 

she was young, but her marriage with Emmanuel was out of her hands. 

4/6 

She couldn’t return to the Quillen residence, and if she didn’t want to head 

back to Yociam Residence, she would need to find a place to crash that 

night. 

“Where should we head to, Ms. Quillen?” the driver asked. 

A car with eight professional bodyguards trailed after them. 

Mackenzie reclined against the backseat as if she had fallen asleep. After 

a long silence, she finally uttered, “Go home.” 

“Yes, Ms. Quillen.” 

The driver drove her back to Yociam Residence. 

Mackenzie’s lips curved into a bitter smile at the sight. This is my home
