Chapter 354
On the other hand, Beatrix continued to lie as planned, denying all
accusations. She knew that even if she could avoid Mackenzie’s retribution
for now, vengeance might still await her. Thus, she promptly pouted and
whined, “I was only wondering. I didn’t do anything!”
Suddenly, Mackenzie’s phone rang as soon as the last word was spoken.
At this time, Jayden Castro, Yeringham’s top divorce lawyer and a man who
could solve any legal problem, called her in a panic. “I’m so sorry, Ms. Quillen!
I’ve lost your divorce paperwork. Don’t worry, as this will only be a short delay.
I’ll have everything done up again in no time!”
“Noted.” After hanging up, she turned to Beatrix with a glare that threatened
to shred her sister into a million pieces. Then, Mackenzie roared, “Return the
documents to Mr. Castro now!” “I didn’t take them! I did nothing!” Beatrix
refused to admit to anything and hurriedly ducked behind Terence before
Mackenzie could say another word. “I’m innocent, Grandpa!”
“Haha! I know it could never be you. The documents must have destroyed
themselves. This is destiny!” While glaring at Mackenzie, he stated, “You
cannot go against fate, Mackenzie. You are not allowed to divorce
Emmanuel!” While I’ve always wished for a great–grandchild, I could tell she
had fallen in love with that brat. She would undoubtedly regret it for the rest
of her life if her marriage ended like this.
My family is adamantly opposed to my divorce based on the constant
stream of lies they spew. Documents destroying themselves? How could the
chairman of a great company even say that? With a cold snort, Mackenzie
replied, “Fine, but that will depend on whether that man can change my
mind!”
After hearing this, Terence and Beatrix lit up with glee as they grinned at each
other.
In the meantime, Alfred was taken aback by her response. Is this the same
Ms. Mackenzie I know? It would appear that marriage has brought about
some changes in her. What has become of her misandry? Is it gone?
Perhaps, it just means she didn’t hate Emmanuel after all.
“Well, you know what to do, Beatrix.” Terence immediately instructed his
granddaughter because he was confident she was the best candidate for
the task.
“Right away, Grandpa!” After saying this, she cheerfully dashed out of the
room. Like Alfred, she believed that Emmanuel had brought about significant
changes in Mackenzie because her sister was no longer as cold as she had
been and was behaving more normally.
Meanwhile, Beatrix was furious that Emmanuel had ignored her messages.
“Dang it! Does he think I’m beneath his notice just because he quit?” She
stomped her foot in rage and called him instead, but when he did not
answer, she called his workplace.
“You’re looking for Emmanuel? He is currently performing surgery in the
operating room. Could I pass him a message for you?” It was Frederick who
answered the hospital phone. Then, he explained that Emmanuel had gained
Juan’s favor ever since he demonstrated his skills, and he was not only
promoted but also asked to assist with the brain surgery.
“Oh, that fool has finally shown some competence. I guess it’s no surprise he
would have the nerve to do something like this!” she scoffed angrily.
After hearing this, Frederick blinked in confusion before chuckling, “Girl, just
who are you? If I hadn’t known how oblivious Emmanuel is, I might have
assumed you were his lover!”
“Hmph! Well, I am his boss. My name is Ms. Quillen. Tell him to be at Room
1314, Serenity Resort, at 6.00PM if he still wants his wife!” Beatrix was fuming
with rage as she hung up the phone, thinking that after all she had done for
Emmanuel, it served him right if he still couldn’t win over Mac
