Chapter 29
“I…”
Claudette stared at Emmanuel in surprise and asked
in a trembling voice, “W–Was it a blitz marriage, Dr.
Lowe?”
Emmanuel nodded in response, shocking Claudette
even more.
She remembered Emmanuel as a mature and
composed man, so she never thought he would
someday get involved in a blitz marriage.
Roselynn grabbed her by the arm and said with a
smile, “Come on, Claudette. Take us to the banquet
hall upstairs and show us what it’s like up there!”
Although Claudette nodded in response, her mood
was clearly not as cheery as it was earlier.
“By the way, Claudette, do you know who it was that
showed up at the banquet just now? That person
seemed to gain quite a lot of attention upon arrival!”
Roselynn asked out of curiosity as they made their way
upstairs.
Claudette’s tone was rather cold as she replied, “Who
else could it be? There are not many in Yeringham that
could cause such a huge commotion with their
presence alone. It has got to be Ms. Quillen of the
Quillen family!”
“Oh, Ms. Quillen is here? That makes sense now!”
Roselynn had heard rumors about Mackenzie’s
popularity in the past, but this was her first time
witnessing it.
“Roselynn, are you finally going to stop questioning
whether Ms. Quillen is my wife?” Emmanuel asked with
a chuckle.
She’s a prominent woman that most men of
upper–class society can only dream of dating, so why
would she marry a man like my brother?
Roselynn could only shrug in response and dismissed
such a ridiculous notion.
Claudette, on the other hand, was staring at
Emmanuel with astonishment and disbelief written all
over her face.
Others may replace it ridiculous that Mackenzie would do
something like this, but I think it’s quite possible. There
have been rumors about her grandfather pressuring
her to get married, so there’s nothing strange about
her picking Dr. Lowe as her husband. If my family
pressured me into getting married, I’d probably choose
to marry Dr. Lowe without any hesitation, too! After all,
he’s the perfect choice! There’s no need to worry about
him taking advantage of me, and I know for sure that
he’s not going to cheat either! He’s tall, handsome, and
shows no interest in women…
“All right, this is as far as I’ll take you two. I still have
other business appointments to attend to, so I’ll be
excusing myself now!” Claudette said and took her
leave after escorting them to the banquet hall on the
third floor.
While Emmanuel and Roselynn were oblivious to the
signs, Lexi had picked up on them from afar.
Why would the heiress of the Lenoir family set her
sights on Ms. Quillen’s husband? I don’t even know if I
should say she has good taste, or…
Being a foodie, Roselynn started going after the food
like crazy the moment they arrived at the banquet hall
on the third floor.
“Did you not have enough to eat earlier, Roselynn? How
do you even fit all of that into your stomach?”
Emmanuel protested in displeasure as he was forced
to help her take the food.
“Shut up and help me get the food!” Roselynn snapped
at him impatiently, taking advantage of her identity as
the elder sister to order her kid brother around.
Emmanuel was rendered speechless when he heard
that.
Other girls have small appetites, but Roselynn here is
still hungry for more after stuffing her face earlier… Why
is she so different?
Little did they know, their actions had caught the
attention of another woman.
Cloud Construction was able to continue its work after
Samuel and his men left the project site, and Milani
took the credit for it although she didn’t really do
anything.
That was why Cloud Construction sent Milani an
invitation to the banquet that night as an extra reward.
She was having a great time at the banquet and
posted lots of pictures on Instagram to show off until
she saw Emmanuel and Roselynn there.
How could they allow a man who only makes eighty thousand a year to attend a banquet like this?

are going to think poorly of this banquet if word gets
out about this!
With that in mind, Milani walked up to him and asked
out loud in a mocking tone, “Well, well, well… Look who
we have here! It’s Emmanuel, the gynecologist!
Shouldn’t you be examining women at the hospital?
What are you doing here?”
Sure enough, quite a lot of people turned their heads in
his direction when they heard there was a
gynecologist on the third floor.
