Chapter 27
Mackenzie led the way while Beatrix trailed behind her,
and the two of them could hear everyone greeting
them respectfully.
Although Mackenzie was an aloof woman, she was not
cocky. In response, she would incline her head at the
more important figures in the corporate world out of
courtesy.
Men who received her response would puff up their
chests in pride.
In the meantime, as Emmanuel and Roselynn could
not see who everyone was excited about, they decided
to continue enjoying the food before them.
On the other hand, when Mackenzie went up the stairs
and raked her gaze across the room, she noticed her
husband in the corner.
What’s going on? That man is sharing food with
another woman, and they’re even chatting so merrily?
The polite smile on Mackenzie’s face faded, and the
temperature around her dropped drastically.

Why is that man here? Is he cheating on me? D*mn it!
Although Mackenzie told Emmanuel that it was fine for
him to date other women after they got married, she
realized she was still perturbed when she actually saw
him with another woman.
Fortunately, their marriage was a secret, and no one
knew that Emmanuel was her husband. Otherwise, his
appearance with another woman would have ruined
her illustrious reputation.
“Hmph!”
Following a sudden scoff, Mackenzie stopped greeting
the others and left the ballroom on the first floor.
Beatrix, who could not read Mackenzie’s mind, was
baffled. Mackenzie’s expression changed in the blink of
an eye! What’s going on?
However, a thought popped into her head when she
followed Mackenzie’s gaze to the spot in the corner
and noticed Emmanuel.
Beatrix had never seen Emmanuel before, so she
quickly pulled Mackenzie’s personal assistant closer to

her and asked, “Greta, who’s that man?”
“Ms. Beatrix, that’s Emmanuel Lowe.”
“Oh!” Beatrix exclaimed as realization dawned upon
him.
How bold can he be to court other women here?
Mackenzie even caught him red–handed! Hoho, if
Mackenzie gets mad, she’ll have a thousand and one
ways to kill him!
“Lexi, keep an eye on that man for me, and come to me
right away if anything happens.”
“Of course, Ms. Beatrix,” Lexi replied, but she was
confused.
He’s not your husband. If anything, I should be
reporting to Ms. Mackenzie instead.
Lexi did not dare to voice those thoughts out loud,
however.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Roselynn had no idea they
had been spotted by Mackenzie and her cousin, let
alone how Mackenzie had misunderstood Emmanuel’s
relationship with Roselynn.

It was a strange situation, to sum it up.
“Roselynn, I don’t see any handsome guys around. Why
don’t we go to another floor?”
Emmanuel still remembered the task his mother had
assigned him to.
He was already married, and it was time for him to get
Roselynn married too. Otherwise, it would be risky for
Roselynn to give birth if things dragged on for a few
more years.
“I’d love to enjoy more delicacies on different floors, but
the invitation I received only allows me to remain on
the first floor.”
Roselynn shrugged, the look in her eyes seemingly
telling Emmanuel that there was nothing she could do.
Right then, a sweet voice rang out behind them.
“Roselynn! Dr. Lowe!”
The siblings turned to see a woman in a light green
gown and a smile on her face ambling toward them.
The look in the attractive woman’s eyes was a calm
one, and she was wearing a diamond necklace around

her slender neck. The diamond twinkled under the
lights, and it was so brilliant it looked as if the entire
universe had been kept in the precious rock.
“Claudette?”
Roselynn jumped to her feet in excitement before
launching herself over to the other woman and
hugging her. My boss came at the right time!
