Chapter 218
“It’s getting late, Emmanuel. We should go home.” Mackenzie turned to
Emmanuel when she saw Abellyn rendered speechless and trembling.
At the sight of that, Jayden couldn’t help but feel envious. What kind of
relationship does this man have with Ms. Quillen? Is he a personal bodyguard
or a driver? But he doesn’t seem like either.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel secretly gave Mackenzie a thumbs up. My darling is
truly amazing, not wasting a single unnecessary word. In just two minutes,
she completely subdued the vicious and cunning Abellyn.
Moreover, Mackenzie never thought of asking him to persuade Ryder to get a
20
divorce. The final decision would naturally be left to Ryder so that he wouldn’t
blame Emmanuel for any regrets in the future.
“Well, Ryder, goodbye then,” Emmanuel said, following Mackenzie as they
-departed.
“Take care.” Watching their graceful and swift figures, Ryder was filled with
envy and admiration. Having a wife like Manny’s would make every man in
the world envious.
At the same time, Abellyn didn’t care about her parents anymore and quickly
left the house in a dazed state, hurrying to find her sister.
When Chloe heard what happened at Ryder’s home, she was also
incredulous. “Isn’t Emmanuel’s wife too formidable? She actually hired Mr.
Castro?”
“Yes! I don’t know what her identity is or how wealthy she is. I’m no match for
her at all, Chloe. Only you can help me now.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll think of something.” While Chloe comforted her little sister, she
wasn’t very confident herself because she didn’t dare compete with
Mackenzie. It seems that I can only speed up dealing with Zane. By then, even
if she divorced Ryder and couldn’t get much, it wouldn’t matter.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Friday evening, and coincidentally, Mackenzie had a business engagement tonight, so she
didn’t need
Emmanuel to pick her up. Fortunately, he didn’t have much to do at his
part–time job today, and he got off work at 8.00PM. Of course, Beatrix played
a role in this.
Driving the Maserati, he went to the agreed location and picked up Terence
before going to the auction.
He had thought it was a small–scale auction with only one item being
auctioned. More accurately, he had no concept of the environment he would
be in tonight because he had never been a part of the upper class. So, after
he got out of the car with Terence, he was stunned by the palace–like
building in front of him.
“Grandpa, did we come to the wrong place?” He stared at Terence with wide
eyes. Although he didn’t know what it was like to be in the upper class, he
wasn’t stupid. Things sold in buildings that looked like palaces were definitely
beyond his affordability.
“Haha, we’re at the right place. Don’t worry. Although it looks fancy, the items
being auctioned are not expensive at all. Relax.”
Despite Terence’s reassurances, Emmanuel couldn’t relax. How can I relax?
Everyone around me is dressed so elegantly. If I had known that tonight’s
venue was so upscale, I would have at least worn the suit that Mackenzie
bought for me. I would have felt better. However, everyone assumed that he
was Terence’s driver, so no one dared to look down on him.
“Old Mr. Quillen! Welcome! How are you?” Soon, someone at the entrance
recognized Terence and quickly approached. Gradually, more people came,
squeezing Emmanuel to the side.
Seeing this scene, he was taken aback. I didn’t know Mackenzie’s grandfather
had such a wide social circle. It seems like everyone here knows him. Is he
close friends with the owners here?
