Chapter 160
After listening to Ryder’s story about his marriage, Mackenzie broke into a
disdainful smirk.
It was clearly a clichéd story of an honest man marrying a woman pregnant
with another man’s child. She was just surprised that it happened to one of
her relatives.
“Men of the Lowe family are truly idiots!”
Her words indirectly insulted Emmanuel again, yet he didn’t utter a word of
protest.
The truth was that he wasn’t in a much better situation than Ryder. To a
certain extent, he might actually be worse off.
After all, he and Mackenzie had a blitz marriage after meeting each other
only once. The interaction they shared was lesser than that of Ryder and
Abellyn.
At the very least, Ryder and Abellyn were intimate before getting hitched. In
contrast to them, he had still not held Mackenzie’s hand.
With that in mind, Emmanuel burst into sudden laughter. “That’s right. I don’t
deny that we’re idiots. That said, I think I’m a lot luckier than Ryder is!”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
When Mackenzie gave him an abrupt stare, Emmanuel explained with a
blissful smile, “You’re not only more beautiful than Abellyn, but your character
is also so much better than hers. When I first married you for the sake of
placating my mother, I admit I was taking a huge risk. But thank God we’re
relatively happy now, aren’t we?”
Mackenzie pouted on purpose. “Hmph, you’re the one who’s happy, not me!”
“Did I do anything to upset you, Ms. Quillen?” Emmanuel inquired
immediately.
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re still being attacked online. If the matter escalates, I’m
afraid I–as your wife–will be dragged into it sooner or later!”
“Ah! I–I’m so sorry. I’ll deal with it immediately,” Emmanuel apologized.
Back when he declared that he would face it alone, he neglected the fact
that he had a lawfully wedded wife. If the online bullying continued,
Mackenzie would inadvertently be embroiled in it.
“That’s why you’re an idiot. Anyway, what do you plan to do?”
“Roselynn and I will reply to every accusation to demonstrate our innocence
and prove that our accusers have twisted the facts. That’s how we’re going to
execute our counterattack. However, we do face one problem–the
ghostwriters hired by our accusers. We don’t have enough funds to hire our
own ghostwriters to fight them and also to boost our post.”
“That’s not a problem at all!” The issue that was frustrating Emmanuel was no
more than a trivial one to Mackenzie. “I’ve plenty of friends in the media who
can publish your clarification. As for hiring ghostwriters and boosting your
post, I have plenty of money to do so.”
“Thank you, Ms. Quillen!”
After expressing his gratitude, Emmanuel added confidently, “Actually, there’s
no need to pay for boosting the post. As long as a member of the press
publishes our clarification online and showcases the evidence we have, I’m
sure the public would take our side out of a sense of justice.”
From the conviction Emmanuel showed, Mackenzie had no doubt that he had
made the necessary preparations.
On top of having full faith in his character, she was also certain that whoever
attempted to throw false accusations at him would definitely be made to
pay a heavy price.
Emmanuel continued, “I refuse to believe that Granddad and Jamison are
powerful enough to do this. I’m sure someone else is helping them behind
the scenes, and I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this!”
Mackenzie nodded in agreement.
If Emmanuel’s granddad and his family were that capable, they wouldn’t
have to go all out just to cheat tens of thousands. It seems there’s more to
the matter than meets the eye!
“In that case, we should let the matter fester a while more. The bigger the
issue becomes, the more powerful our reprisal will be.” Mackenzie offered,
“For now, I’ll help you find out who in the world is behind this!”
“Thank you, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel expressed his gratitude again, as the
woman’s assistance had simplified the matter significantly.
She responded with a haughty smile, “Don’t thank me. I just don’t want to be
plagued by your problems.”
