Chapter 578

“Hmph! I’m a woman of my word! So what if I lose the bet? I’ll replace myself a

boyfriend!” Beatrix immediately patted her chest as she declared.

In actuality, witnessing Mackenzie’s sweet yet complex marriage had her

secretly yearning to experience the taste of love for herself. The problem is,

where can I replace someone like Emmanuel? Ugh. Why am I even thinking about

replaceing a man like him?

“Well, I’ll help you replace one today,” Mackenzie added.

“Huh? Today?” Beatrix resisted, saying, “The men attending today are those

spoiled rich brats like Hubert. Why would I want them?”

“Hubert is here too?” Mackenzie frowned.

Lexi quickly chimed in. “Ms. Quillen, the Verkade family is known for being

fickle and unscrupulous. They may have resorted to seeking a marriage

alliance since they failed to bring us down in the business world even with

the support of the Lenoir family.”

“Pfft! In their dreams!” Beatrix immediately stated, “Hubert better behave

himself today. If he dares to make any disgusting moves, I won’t hesitate to

put him in his place!”

Witnessing her fierce demeanor, Lexi and Mackenzie exchanged knowing

smiles. Finding a boyfriend for her within a month may be challenging!

At that moment, the reunion dinner was about to commence on the top floor

banquet hall.

More than half of the attendees were filled with anticipation and curiosity as

rumors had already circulated about Mackenzie’s secret marriage. What

made it even more intriguing was that her husband was a nobody!

“Everyone praises Ms. Quillen for her exceptional wisdom and extraordinary

foresight, but I dare say she’s blind! Mr. Verkade has been sincerely pursuing

her for years, yet she rejected him and instead chose to marry a worthless

nobody!” At the table, a man dressed in a white suit struck a pretentious

pose, raising his wine glass with a sneer as he spoke.

As all eyes immediately turned to Hubert beside him, he was clearly in a sour

mood and downed another glass of wine.

A while ago, the Verkade family had teamed up with the Lenoir family to

crush the Quillen family in the business world. He eagerly anticipated their

downfall, hoping it would give him more leverage when he eventually tried to

marry Mackenzie. However, to his surprise, the Lenoir family had backed out

halfway, and now, it appeared that Mackenzie intended to publicly announce

her relationship with Emmanuel. This turn of events had crumbled his hopes

and eliminated his chance to pursue her!

The mere thought of the woman he had loved for years becoming someone

else’s plaything was unbearable. It felt as if someone was constantly tugging

at his pain receptors, and the torment would only cease when a bloody strip

was ripped away.

“Mr. Verkade, you appear rather distressed.” The man in the white suit leaned

closer to Hubert’s ear and whispered, “How about I lend you a hand in getting

your hands on her before that nobody does? Wouldn’t that be more thrilling

than anything else?”

Hubert’s spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this. With his experience in

wooing women, he could easily discern that Mackenzie had not yet been

intimate with Emmanuel, judging from the way she walked like a novice who

still guarded her chastity with tightly closed legs. If he was destined to fail in

capturing her heart, taking her virginity would at least be a conquest in his

life!

“Hehe, isn’t that inappropriate? It’s too harsh!”

“But it’s also quite thrilling and entertaining, hahaha…”

Humans were like birds of a feather flocking together. Those seated with

Hubert were undoubtedly unsavory characters. They treated women as

mere playthings, employing all sorts of devious tactics!

In the past, he would never have dared to engage in such behavior. After all,

the influence of the Quillen family was at stake, and today’s event was held

on their turf. However, if he did not take action now, the woman he had loved

for years would lose her virginity to that nobody, Emmanuel!

At that moment, Mackenzie made her entrance. As he beheld the

breathtaking woman in elegant white attire, he whispered to Hugo Zelinsky

with darkened eyes, “If you can help me fulfill my wish, I promise I won’t treat

you unfairly!”
