“Ms. Quillen!”
“Ms. Quillen is here!”
Just as Eve and her group were leaving, the employees of the Terence Group
shouted.
Hearing the voices and seeing the commotion, Emmanuel was instantly
surprised!
He had known that Mackenzie was a high–ranking executive in the Terence
Group, but now it seemed that her reputation within the company was quite
high. What position does she hold? What is her relationship with Ms. Quillen?
Has she been deceiving me all along?
“Ms. Quillen, you finally arrived!”
Lexi quickly walked over to Mackenzie’s side, ready to report the situation.

Mackenzie’s gaze, however, fell upon Emmanuel and Claudette!
This darn man!
This darn Claudette. Is she intentionally here to show off?
Mackenzie’s gaze was as cold as ice. It froze Emmanuel, rendering him
unable to speak. Ultimately, he could only say softly, “Mackenzie!”
Mackenzie bit her lip lightly, her voice icy as she spoke, “What are you all
doing here? This place doesn’t welcome irrelevant people!”
Emmanuel’s face was immediately filled with helplessness and sadness.
Claudette also felt uncomfortable. It seemed that the man she liked only
cared about Mackenzie; when would he start caring about her own joys and
sorrows?
“Ms. Quillen, I called Emmanuel back to help. After all, thanks to him, this
project was successfully launched!” Lexi quickly explained.
“Hmph, thanks to him? Who does he think he is? The world won’t stop turning
without him, and no one can’t do without him!”
Mackenzie raised her eyebrows, deliberately speaking the harshest words.
“Lexi, get rid of these irrelevant people. We’ll handle Terence Group’s matters
ourselves!”
Lexi couldn’t help but sigh. She saw things clearer than the parties concerned.
Ms. Quillen is hurting herself as well as others!
Although she was Mackenzie’s subordinate, she didn’t work for Terence Group
just for the salary, so she couldn’t bear to see Mackenzie throwing a tantrum
like this. She boldly spoke up, trying to persuade her. “Ms. Quillen, Emmanuel
came to help you, and he is really professional-”
Before she could finish her words, Lexi caught sight of the icy gaze from
Mackenzie, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
“Ms. Lenoir, Mr. Lowe! Sorry, but please leave!”
Knowing Mackenzie well, Lexi figured she ultimately had to follow the order. If
she didn’t comply, Mackenzie was capable of doing anything to her!
“Emmanuel, let’s go!”
Claudette also whispered to Emmanuel. After all, it was Mackenzie who
deliberately pushed Emmanuel to her, so Mackenzie couldn’t blame anyone
in the future!
But Emmanuel didn’t listen to her. Instead, he took the initiative to approach
Mackenzie.
Claudette was slightly taken aback.
Mackenzie also stared intently at Emmanuel as her heartbeat inexplicably
quickened!
What is this man going to do?
“Mackenzie, this situation isn’t as simple as it seems. Be careful; I’m afraid
they might harm you!”
Emmanuel’s concern warmed Mackenzie’s heart.
She hesitated whether to show off in front of Claudette and publicly reconcile
with Emmanuel to infuriate the other woman, but suddenly, she noticed
Emmanuel’s injuries.
“You got into another fight?” Mackenzie’s eyebrows furrowed. She knew
exactly who Emmanuel was with tonight. When she saw him at the Serenity
Resort earlier, he was perfectly fine. Now, however, he was injured, and it
didn’t take a genius to figure out why.
Emmanuel nodded.
Claudette quickly approached and said, “Emmanuel and I were having dinner
when Magnus and his gang showed up looking for trouble. Emmanuel fought
them off for me!”
Mackenzie couldn’t suppress her anger any longer!
She had already changed herself time and time again for this man, and she
even started to despise her own submissive behavior. Why couldn’t he
appreciate her? Why did he keep disappointing her over and over again?
They were supposed to have dinner together tonight, which was an
opportunity for them to reconcile, but instead, he went off with Claudette and
even got into a fight for her!
