Chapter 198
Beatrix returned to the huge mansion of the Quillen family, acting as if she
had performed a great act of service. She went behind her grandfather with
her head held high and massaged his back.
“Grandpa, I’ve finished my work!”
“Are you sure?”
Terence was young at heart, his eyes twinkling as he spoke.
“Yes. Manuel agreed to go for a laser tag game with us next Saturday, and
then we’ll spend the night out. Tsk, tsk. Such a great opportunity. The Lenoir
sisters will surely pounce on Manuel!”
Beatrix’s eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
She had made a bet with Lexi earlier that Manuel would be kicked out of the
family before the new year. If he isn’t careful and the Lenoir sisters get their
hands on him, Mackenzie will surely throw a fit! Hehe! Of course, he can’t

blame me for being mean. This is all Grandpa’s idea.
“Yes.,I hope the two daughters of the Lenoir family won’t let me down and
work hard to make Mackenzie jealous! Otherwise, she won’t know how much
she likes Emmanuel!” Terence said confidently, looking as though he had a
winning strategy.
“Grandpa, are you sure Mackenzie truly likes that man?”
“Are you doubting your grandpa’s judgment?”
“I wouldn’t dare to!”
Beatrix quickly stuck out her tongue.
Over the years, my grandfather molded Terence Group into the leading
enterprise in Yeringham with his brilliant mind and superb awareness of the
bigger picture. Who can compete with him in terms of judgment and
foresight?
Only then did Beatrix realize that her grandfather was not testing Emmanuel,

but Mackenzie.
My goodne
When the time comes, it’ll be even more fun!
On Monday, when Emmanuel went to work as usual, Claudette also showed
up “as usual.”
“Is your illness acting up again, Ms. Lenoir?” Emmanuel asked with a frown, a
little surprised to see her.
“That’s not it, Dr. Lowe. It’s just that I couldn’t sleep well last night and thought
that there may be something wrong with my body, so I want you to have a
look,” Claudette explained as she sat down in front of Emmanuel’s
consultation table.
Frederick, who was watching from the side, was envious of his friend’s
fortune. He’s already married to a perfect wife, yet, he still has a wealthy
young lady pestering him all the time. It’s funny that this dude is unaware
that Claudette’s biggest illness is unrequited love, and he’s still diagnosing
her seriously!

“Let me take your pulse, Ms. Lenoir.”
“All right.”
With that, Claudette held out her hand to him.
Emmanuel found it amusing. I’m taking her pulse, not shaking her hand. This
woman’s behavior is so strange!
However, he still calmly pressed her hand on the consultation table and took
her pulse seriously.
“Dr. Lowe, is your girlfriend from Terence Group? Is her last name Quillen?”
“Um, yes. She’s not my girlfriend, but my wife,” Emmanuel answered with a
nod.
Claudette chuckled. “It can’t be the eldest daughter of the Quillen family,
right? Every man in Yeringham wants to marry her!”
Her purpose for coming was not to see a doctor but to find out whether what
her sister said was true.

“Of course not! Stop teasing me, Ms. Lenoir!”
Emmanuel appeared indifferent and did not seem like he was lying.
Claudette’s eyes lit up. Looks like he doesn’t even know his wife’s identity!
Here’s the question. What’s the deal about his marriage with Mackenzie?
“Ms. Lenoir, there’s nothing wrong with your body. You’re just a little weak due
to a lack of rest. Go back, drink more water, and try to balance out work and
rest, and you’ll be fine.”
Emmanuel quickly gave Claudette a diagnosis.
