Chapter 116
Try as she might, Milani couldn’t believe Mackenzie was only twenty–seven
years old!
Now that she had completely given up on Immanuel she no longer
bothered to disguise her contempt for the man ” don’t get it What does
she see in you ?*
“How would i know? You’ll have to ask her? Immanual answered

None of this makes sense. Emmanuel only eams eighty thousand a year
How does he land himself a wife so far out of his league? Fairy tales aren?
even this ridiculous!
Emmanuel merely smiled and said nothing. He didn’t care what the
woman thought and only wanted to send her home and call it a day.
When Emmanuel finally reached home, he wasted no time expressing his
gratitude to Mackenzie. “Ms. Quillen, thank you for playing along tonight.
Not only have you helped me chase away a pesky woman, but you’ve also
made my mother very happy!”
Mackenzie tried to play it off with a casual smile, but no matter how much
she tried, she couldn’t hide the sliver of satisfaction she felt.
I can’t believe it was so easy to win my mother–in–law over. I sure am a
charming daughter–in–law, aren’t I?
Seconds later, however, Mackenzie was back to being cold and indifferent.
“Don’t overthink it. I’m only doing this to repay you for beating Gautier up.
That b*stard has been trying to plot against me over and over again. I
should’ve dealt with him sooner!”
Emmanuel flinched a little before looking at Mackenzie with a stiff smile.
“You already knew about it, Ms. Quillen?”
“Of course. That said, you’d better be on your guard,” Mackenzie warned.
“Gautier isn’t like the clingy women around you. He’s a lot craftier and
harder to deal with. You never know when he’s going to strike!”
”
Although I’ve made Gautier suffer many business losses, I’ve also almost
fallen into his traps several times. The previous incident had to be the
worst! I didn’t even know he had drugged my drinks, and if it weren’t for
Emmanuel’s timely rescue, I have no doubt Hubert would’ve taken
advantage of me! Afterward, even if I wanted revenge, Gautier would use
Hubert as his scapegoat while he gets away scot–free…
“I know. Please be careful too, Ms. Quillen. Feel free to let me know if you
fighting skills,” Emmanuel proclaimed.
After all, he was a battle–tested soldier who would never cower from a
fight for justice!
With that, Mackenzie smiled coldly and returned to her room.
The next day, Emmanuel was at work when he received an urgent call
from Alessandra.
“What? Uncle Emerson has been detained overseas?”
He had never liked his grandfather, and he especially hated his
good–for–nothing uncle, Emerson Cadigan, who only spent his time lazing
Unfortunately, Alessandra was born to a family in Greendale Village that
