Chapter 20
“Mr. Webber, I know you and your friends need the
income, but these are two different matters. Terence
Group shouldn’t be the one paying for this.”
The veins on Samuel’s head popped when he heard
that.
Just then, Emmanuel suddenly said, “However, our
boss empathizes with you and is willing to pay three
million to be friends with all of you.”
“W–What-”
Samuel’s pupils dilated. He was moved by what he
heard.
Even his subordinates exchanged glances delightedly. They never expected the boss of Terence Group to be
so particular.
Alas, they were blissfully unaware Emmanuel had
secretly reduced their payment. In fact, they were
gladly calling Emmanuel their friend.
It was a typical scenario of being grateful to someone
who betrayed them.
“Very well. We shall be friends with Terence Group.

Come on! Let’s have a toast!”
Samuel gave Emmanuel a toast. It was clear the
former had submitted himself to Emmanuel.
“Cheers!”
As a former soldier, Emmanuel had no fear of hard
liquor.
At the same time, Samuel’s subordinates were loyal
people. Seeing how generous Emmanuel was, they
toasted and praised him for being a good person.
Samuel grew wary as he watched Emmanuel down
glass after glass of hard liquor with no problem.
This man’s not someone to be trifled with. We can only
be friends, never enemies.
Half an hour later, Mackenzie finally arrived at The
Paradise and quickly got out of the car.
Four professional bodyguards followed behind her.
Her gaze was piercing, and her aura was domineering.
When the men outside the nightclub caught sight of
the beautiful woman with her entourage, they cleared
a path and only watched her enter the building.

She was a beauty with great power.
Nonetheless, Mackenzie did not bother glancing at the
bystanders and walked straight into the nightclub.
She had never been so worried about someone, let
alone a man. Even she found the situation
unbelievable.
Similarly, it was the bodyguards‘ first time seeing their
indifferent CEO behaving like that. They could not help
but wonder who she was there to save.
In the next second, Mackenzie halted in her tracks and
fixed her eyes on the two men exiting the entrance.
Emmanuel had his arm across Sheldon’s shoulder and
a cigarette in his mouth. He was even having trouble
walking straight.

Not only was he injured, but he also drank over twenty
glasses of imported wine that had sixty percent
alcohol. Thus, it was only normal that he was walking
like that.
Sheldon was taken aback when he saw the beautiful
woman with slender legs standing before him. He
could neither tear his eyes away from her nor budge
an inch the moment he saw her face.
Never did he expect to find someone more beautiful
than Elena.
When Emmanuel saw Sheldon suddenly stop in his

tracks, he slowly looked up and noticed Mackenzie’s
presence. He shuddered and sobered up a little.
The two said nothing and merely stared at each other
in silence.
Although Sheldon was clueless about their
relationship, he could read the room. Immediately, he
backed away.
In the meantime, the four bodyguards dared not
approach without Mackenzie’s order.
Suddenly, Emmanuel lost his balance.
Mackenzie instinctively rushed forward to help him up.
That was when she felt the warmth of his body.
At the same time, her nose picked up the stench of
blood.
He fought with others again.
“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Mackenzie chided, her
brows knitted together. A bitter feeling crept into her
heart.

“Am I not fine now?” Emmanuel laughed out loud as

relief washed over him.
Mackenzie could not help but sigh at the state he was
1. in. I honestly don’t know what to do with him. I was just
speaking mindlessly. I can’t believe he actually went to
such lengths because of what I said.
The four bodyguards were absolutely confounded
after witnessing their CEO holding Emmanuel up.
They knew about Mackenzie’s misandry, and she rarely
shook hands with men. Hence, the sight of her holding
up a man with one hand was a strange occurrence to
them.
Not only that, but Mackenzie even threw them a look, indicating for them to leave the next second.

She still did not want Emmanuel to find out her real
identity.
“Remember what you promised me. Once the project
is a success, we have to go home to see my mom.”
