Chapter 579
“Mr. Verkade, you’re being overly courteous. It’s just a small favor, no big deal!”
Hugo flicked the thick gold ring on his.index finger with a smug expression.
“Everyone knows that I, Hugo Zelinsky, am hailed as the king of nightclubs. I’ve
never failed to bring a woman to my bed. Tonight, I’ll create an opportunity
for you to have Ms. Quillen in bed and cheat on that bumpkin. I’ll even
capture some videos as insurance. Not only will it prevent her from acting
rashly in the future, but it’ll also provide some entertainment for my buddies!
Hehe…”
Hubert’s heart filled with joy. Hugo is indeed reliable!
At that moment, Mackenzie made her entrance with Terence, hand in hand,
as they strolled down the red carpet in front of the assembled guests,
making their way step by step toward the banquet stage.
“Wow, it’s Old Mr. Quillen and Ms. Quillen!”
“She looks stunning, truly deserving of the title of Yeringham’s number one
beauty!”
“Her temperament is extraordinary!”
Mackenzie did not utter a word or make any gestures. Yet, her expressionless
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpresence alone stirred up a sensation throughout the venue. Many of the
second–tier celebrities present could not help but marvel at her,
acknowledging her as the hottest celebrity in Yeringham!
“Haha, welcome to our dinner!” With Terence’s status in Yeringham, the
surrounding guests immediately fell silent as soon as he spoke.
He was in high spirits today. As Mackenzie had suspected, he intended to
publicly announce Emmanuel’s entry into the Quillen family during the grand
banquet. In this way, her marriage would be confirmed.
Of course, Terence also respected her wishes; whether or not to announce
her husband was entirely up to her. After all, he had arranged this grand
feast today, and Emmanuel had made a public appearance at the event. His
main goal was already accomplished.
Sure enough, a voice immediately erupted from the audience right after his
brief speech. “Old Mr. Quillen, I heard rumors that your family has welcomed a
son–in–law. Is it true?”
“What? The Quillen family is welcoming a son–in–law? That’s a huge deal!
Why haven’t we received any official announcement?”
“Rumors are circulating that Ms. Quillen is living with him. Is it true?”
“How is that possible? Everyone knows that Ms. Quillen has a strong aversion
to men. How could she possibly be living with him? That is simply absurd! It
must be nothing more than a rumor!”
“That’s right! It has to be a mere rumor!”
Witnessing the escalating discussions among the audience, Terence let out a
hearty laugh and gestured for everyone to settle down. “Ladies and
gentlemen, I appreciate your concern for my granddaughter, Mackenzie. Let
her make the announcement herself regarding her relationship status!”
Instantly, the entire venue fell into silence. Everyone anxiously fixed their
gazes on Mackenzie as if awaiting the announcement of a crucial
examination result.
“His name is Emmanuel Lowe!” She remained true to her aloof style and
directly uttered his name without any verbal preface or mention of his
identity.
In the next instant, Samantha’s excited voice echoed from the other side of
the banquet venue. “Everyone, Emmanuel is here!”
All eyes swiftly turned toward her direction in unison as if the wind had
rustled through the grass, and their gaze fell upon a man standing beside
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher.
In terms of appearance, Emmanuel was undeniably impressive, and when it
came to his physique, he was a complete showstopper. With a golden ratio
and well–defined muscles, there was not a hint of sloppiness to be seen.
Many women’s eyes instantly sparkled with interest.
Unfortunately, the expectations for Mackenzie’s partner were set high.
-Although he could match up to her in terms of appearance alone, he fell
short in other aspects. Take his attire today, for example–it was just too
ordinary.
Given her age and social standing, Samantha naturally understood the
weight behind those gazes. She had devoted two hours to meticulously
dressing up Emmanuel, only to feel as though her efforts had been in vain.
He had refused to wear the clothes she had bought, insisting they did not suit
his taste and that he could not get comfortable in them, which infuriated her.
Nevertheless, she respected his decision, understanding that Mackenzie,
Alfred, and Terence likely valued his authenticity above all else.
To be honest, Emmanuel looked decent in his formal attire among ordinary
people, and his well–built physique gave him a spirited and talented look!
Even so, the expectations set by everyone for Mackenzie’s partner were
simply sky–high!
