Otherwise, should this news spread, Gautier would face ridicule from others and endure asignificant blow to his reputation.
“Farewell then,” Mackenzie declared, her departure accompanied by a resurgence of her Queen ofYeringham demeanor. With Emmanuel by her side, she found solace, knowing she no longer had tofear potential attacks from adversaries.
Recent events had underscored for her the importance of having a fighter, even with financialadvantages: Without one, she remained vulnerable to humiliation at the hands of others.
It finally dawned on her why numerous prominent families and CEOs eagerly anticipated theNuthana Grand Martial Showdown. Perhaps they all sought skilled fighters to safeguard theirinterests.
“Emmanuel, are you going to walk away like that?” Ashton’s voice echoed behind them as theyexited together.
“Oh, I suppose you expect me to treat you to dinner?” Emmanuel countered.
“Hmph, I insist you return to the station for a chat. You just assaulted someone in public. Come withme!” she demanded firmly.
He had no choice but to comply with her request.
“Well then, Emmanuel, you go with her. I will attend Ryder’s wedding on your behalf. If you canmake it in time, hurry back.” Amidst Mackenzie’s bustling schedule, she maintained a commendablesense of decency and organization.
Despite her disdain for Ashton, she couldn’t overlook that the policewoman had come to their aidtwice. Had it not been for Ashton’s timely intervention, Mackenzie might have suffered publichumiliation at Susan’s hands.
“Okay.” He sighed resignedly and left, aware that lingering could be construed as resisting arrest.
Ashton’s intent wasn’t to interrogate Emmanuel but to learn internal strength from this man. After all,Sage had emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities multiple times. Otherwise, she’d be afolly if she didn’t take advantage.
Meanwhile, the wedding procession for Ryder led Tia to the Luxoria Hotel, where the event wastaking place.
Marianne, escorted to the venue, found herself utterly bewildered by the turn of events. She couldn’thelp but wonder, Wasn’t Tia just supposed to attend the wedding? How did she suddenly becomethe bride? Have I somehow slipped into a different timeline?
“No, I vehemently oppose this marriage!” She stormed into the dressing room, where Tia sat amidstpreparations. With conviction, she voiced her dissent, “Ryder is not only old and unattractive butnow paralyzed too! You’re my only daughter; I cannot allow you to marry such a man.”
Since divorcing her husband, Marianne and Tia had leaned on each other for support. Marianneeven hoped to climb the social ladder through her son-in-law’s assistance. Yet, Ryder fell drasticallyshort of Marianne’s ideal image of a son-in-law, presenting a stark contrast to her expectations.
“Mom, I won’t change my mind about this!” Tia pursed her lips in response to her mother’sdisapproval, her resolve unwavering. “I can feel that Ryder genuinely likes me. Though he mayseem clumsy, and yes, maybe even ugly to some, he has a good heart. I believe he’ll treat me wellin the future, and for me, that’s enough.”
“Pfft, you’re my daughter. How could I not understand you?” Marianne’s excitement bubbled up, andshe blurted out, “You’re practically itching to become Emmanuel’s sister-in-law, aren’t you?”
“Pfft, you’re my daughter. How could I not understand you?” Marianne’s excitement bubbled up, andshe blurted out, “You’re practically itching to become Emmanuel’s sister-in-law, aren’t you?”
“Well.” Tia’s face flushed crimson in the dressing room, her embarrassment palpable. She mused,How could Mom say such a thing with others around?
Roselynn entered the dressing room and inadvertently overheard Marianne’s comment. “Mrs.Franks, please don’t worry. I treat Tia like a sister. If she marries into our family, we will take goodcare of her.””
“But how? Ryder is paralyzed! How can you possibly care for my daughter?” Marianne’s wordspierced the air, igniting an even deeper emotional turmoil.
It wasn’t that she doubted Roselynn’s sincerity, but some individuals were inherently resistant toassistance, no matter how genuine. Regrettably, Marianne fell into that category.
Roselynn found herself at a loss for a suitable response. Before she could gather her thoughts, asudden commotion erupted at the dressing room entrance.
“Ms. Quillen!”
“Ms. Quillen has arrived!”
The arrival of Mackenzie brought a flurry of excitement. The Luxoria Hotel staff greeted her with anair of reverence and enthusiasm, their demeanor reflecting the grandeur of the moment.
With the dressing room door left ajar, Marianne couldn’t help but be transfixed by the sceneunfolding before her. Witnessing Mackenzie’s entrance, accompanied by an entourage of admirers,
Marianne couldn’t suppress her awe. It was a natural reaction, borne of the stark contrast in statusbetween them.
