Chapter 979
“I have both my arms free.”
Red pursed her lips, her expression a mix of emotions.
“They’re serving food inside. I’m hungry and want to eat.”
Emmanuel withdrew his arms from the two women and helped the old lady into the private room.
“Hmph, woman, rein it in a bit.”
Beatrix glared at Queenie, coldly warning her before entering the private room.
Queenie felt embarrassed and angry.

Upon seeing this, Shane quickly smiled and said, “Queenie, don’t be angry. That pretty girl may have been a bit impolite in her speech, but what she said makes sense. You have a boyfriend, and Manuel has a wife. You both indeed need to be more mindful.”
Queenie felt relieved by the first part of his statement but grew uncomfortable hearing the rest.
However, she didn’t get angry and even flashed a beautiful smile. “Manuel and I have always had this kind of relationship. I don’t want to change anything because of outsiders.”
With that, she entered the private room as if nothing had happened.

Today’s banquet was specifically organized by Mr. Harrison to thank Terence for investing in his hometown, making Terence the natural star of the show.
Beatrix was sent by Mackenzie to follow up on the project, making her the main focus for the day.
People continuously raised toasts to both of them.
Emmanuel was just a supporting role. Although some people offered him drinks, he politely declined, keeping in mind the task his wife had entrusted him with-‘ To watch over his grandfather.’
Beatrix also constantly remembered her task. Investing in the hometown project was secondary; her main task was to keep an eye on certain women and not let them seduce her brother-in-law.
After all, her brother-in-law belonged to her sister.
Queenie understood her situation and behaved accordingly. She would maintain control herself, except for one thing-she was quietly nursing her drink.
“Are you two a married couple?”
During the banquet, someone sitting nearby suddenly asked.
“Us?”
Queenie pointed to herself and Emmanuel in surprise. She then smiled flirtatiously. “Do we look like a matching couple to you?”
“Of course you do. The man is talented, and the woman is beautiful! Here, let me raise a toast to both of you”
