Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1370 A Woman's Grudge
The Quillen family had just submitted their membership application and were not
yet official members of the chamber of commerce.
“Emmanuel, are you going?”
Mackenzie glanced at Emmanuel and sensed that the invitation was not
specifically for her.
“Since the president's invitation is for the Quillen family, the head of the family
should make the decision!” Emmanuel replied with a slight smile.
She nodded in agreement. President Silverbane’s invitation was a rare
occurrence, so regardless of the target, they should attend to see what he
wanted.
Mackenzie instructed Lexi and Beatrix to return home first, while she and
Emmanuel headed to meet Stanley.
Lexi sensed something unusual that day, especially when Aidan glanced at
Zaiden subconsciously when Mackenzie went up on stage. She knew that the
matter must be related to the Summerton family.
Although she rarely paid attention to the Summerton family’s affairs, the
involvement of the Terence Group in the day's events compelled her to take
action.
She decided to visit Zaiden’s house alone and waited at the door. After a while,
she spotted Zaiden and his wife stepping out of a car.
“Uncle Zaiden, Aunt Althea!”
“Lexi, is that you? It's been a while!”
Zaiden greeted Lexi warmly while embodying the demeanor of an uncle meeting
his niece.
On the other hand, Althea appeared colder than before. She harbored
displeasure toward Lexi for leaving the Summerton family’s business to work for
the Quillen family in Yeringham. However, since Lexi was not her daughter, she
was unable to take any action.
Now, because of her hatred for the Lowe siblings and her resentment toward the
Quillen family, she naturally had an even worse attitude toward Lexi!
“Uncle Zaiden, did you do something in the chamber of commerce? Why are you
targeting the Quillen family? Is there a conflict between you?”
Lexi, known for her gentle nature, maintained a polite tone even while
questioning Zaiden.
Julian coincidentally emerged from the house and observed the trio conversing at
the door. He discreetly eavesdropped, assuming that Lexi had visited for a
significant reason.
“Lexi, I had no other choice!”
Zaiden sighed and admitted that he did not anticipate Aidan’s actions toward the
Quillen family’s application.

“Could you provide an explanation? If you are compelled, I will convey it to Ms.
Quillen. Our families could form an alliance and collaborate in the future. It is
unwise for you to create unnecessary enemies!”
She considered not only Zaiden but also her own interests and the Summerton
family’s well-being. Despite the Quillen family’s non-membership status, their
possession of the Heart of the Sun indicated significant potential. Making a
wrong choice could lead to regret in the future for the Summerton family.

“Hmph! Are we intentionally making enemies? The Quillen family is simply
inviting trouble upon themselves!” Althea interjected before her husband could
elaborate.
“Aunt Althea, what do you mean by that? The Quillen family has never wronged
the Summerton family!”
Lexi expressed her confusion.
Julian also shared the sentiment. He was puzzled by his mother’s sudden
hostility toward the Quillen family.
“Hmph! You claim they have not wronged us? The Quillen family is nothing but a nuisance! Their actions are impacting the Summerton family negatively!”

Althea exclaimed angrily, “Mackenzie
is coddling her husband, a married
man, and even seducing Ashton. It's disgusting, isn't it? And as for Emmanuel’s sister, she's even more
shameless! I don't know how she
managed to bewitch my son. I wish I
could eliminate them!” 

Lexi suddenly realized it! So, it was a woman's grudge!
“Aunt Althea, there seems to be a misunderstanding here!”
Lexi wasn't here to argue or accuse.
She was here to resolve the
grievances he families.
She explained patiently, “I know
Emmanuel and Roselynn quite well.
They both have very upright values
and would never engage in the
behavior you're accusing them of!

“Bah!”
Althea was like many women. The more others spoke in their favor, the more
convinced they were right. She said with a self-righteous attitude, “I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be fake?”

Julian finally couldn't take it anymore.
He strode out of the mansion and
retorted, “Mom, what did you see with your own eyes? Did you see
Roselynn seducing me? Why didn't I
see it myself? You're just talking
nonsense!”
