Chapter 1362 Incompetence
Beatrix finished speaking and stepped back, giving Emmanuel a playful wink.
She was curious and wondered, I bet Mackenzie, who's usually so reserved,
would moan. Or maybe not?
Emmanuel couldn't help but roll his eyes at her antics. He couldn't quite grasp
what she was thinking, musing, Young people always have such dirty thoughts.
It's scary!
He ignored her and entered Mackenzie's room, asking, “It's late. Why haven't you
go to bed yet?”
Still immersed in her work, Mackenzie glanced at the time and realized it was
past her bedtime. She rubbed her tired eyes and said, “I need to prepare for the
Chamber of Commerce's review of new member qualifications tomorrow. It's
crucial to make a strong case for approval.”
Emmanuel nodded and reassured her, “I've reviewed the rules and standards.
There shouldn't be any issues with your family’s assets and influence.”
The woman nodded, but a flicker of concern lingered in her eyes. With the
Summerton family turning against them and her family having offended the
Tanner family of Onza, she couldn't afford to be overly optimistic. “Well, you and
Beatrix should come with me tomorrow!” she suggested.
“Alright! Let's get some rest and tackle tomorrow with full energy!” Emmanuel
suggested to his wife. He instinctively began to undress for a bath, but
Mackenzie stood up and gently stopped him.
He paused and was curious about his wife's intentions.
She stopped him from undressing and pushed him outside. She whispered,
“Beatrix will stay with us for a while. Maybe we shouldn't do it for the time being.”
“But...” He innocently queried, “We could do it even at the Quillen residence, so
why not now? We're legally married!”
Mackenzie glared at Emmanuel. Her demeanor turned icy, and she was unwilling
to elaborate.
At the Quillen residence, rooms were spacious, and Terence’s insistence had
previously led Mackenzie to have sex with Emmanuel. The poor soundproofing
here and Beatrix's nosy nature made Mackenzie wary. It would be cringeworthy
forever if they couldn't contain themselves at night, and Beatrix overheard them.
The astute Beatrix immediately grasped the situation upon witnessing Emmanuel
being ousted by her sister. She blinked her eyes innocently and darted back to
her room. She couldn't help but muse, I guess I'll have to find my own place to
live. Otherwise, if Mackenzie and Emmanuel can’t have kids, they'll surely try to
shift the blame on me. I refuse to be the scapegoat for his incompetence, hmph!
Emmanuel, Mackenzie, and Beatrix dressed formally the following morning as
they made their way to the Onza Chamber of Commerce.
This branch was linked to the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, and there were
talks of the association considering moving its headquarters to Onza.
Upon reaching their destination, the trio found it surpassed their expectations.
The venue's grandeur and magnificent architecture left them in awe.
“Look at all the VIPS!” Beatrix exclaimed as she stepped out of the car.
Mackenzie, following behind her sister, noticed several influential figures,
including some from the Nuthana.
Given the significance of recruiting new members, the Chamber of Commerce
event held substantial weight. After all, bringing in new members could shake up
the association's dynamics and upset the current balance.
