Love at the Wrong Table - Season 6 Episode 77

As Emmanuel entered the Quillen residence, a sense of unease washed over

him. He had anticipated tonight’s reunion dinner to be like the previous one,

perhaps with a larger gathering. However, it exceeded his expectations with

stunning lanterns and festoon decorations. The harmonious lanterns and the

bustling atmosphere gave the impression of a regal celebration in a grand

imperial palace garden.

What’s going on? He was taken aback to discover that the Quillen family’s

reunion dinner this year was being held in a separate building. With its three

floors, front and back gardens, and hundreds of tables, the venue was

brimming with guests!

“T–This is too extravagant!” He was suddenly overwhelmed by immense

pressure, his eyes widening in astonishment.

Samantha noticed his expression and chuckled proudly, saying, “Almost the

entire town of Yeringham is eager to curry favor with the Quillen family.

Anyone with even the slightest family connection will be here tonight, seeking

to revel in our glory. We also have numerous wealthy merchants and tycoons

attending. Even second–tier celebrities are seizing this opportunity to make

an appearance. They view tonight’s reunion dinner as a golden chance to

expand their social connections. Understand?”

He nodded, grasping the situation to some extent. So, this is the lifestyle and

socializing of the upper class.

As he pondered the future and considered the inevitable encounters he

would have once his relationship with Mackenzie became public, a myriad of

emotions surged within him. Nevertheless, could he forsake his beloved wife

simply because he did not wish to attend such occasions?

“Hehe. You finally see how remarkable your wife’s family is, don’t you? By the

way, let me remind you, never disappoint Mackenzie in the future!” With a

smile, Samantha continued, “Our Mackenzie is the number one beauty in

Yeringham. Wealthy heirs have been chasing after her relentlessly for years.

Everyone is eager to see who will marry her in the end. If you ever make her

even slightly sad or upset, I guarantee there will be no shortage of men who

wants to take you down!”

“Got it, Aunt Samantha!” He forced a bitter smile, nodding as the pressure on him intensified.

Not to mention the Quillen family’s current influence, Emmanuel would not

have dared to mistreat Mackenzie even before! He had always been the one

being bullied.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the banquet building, Beatrix burst into the

room where Mackenzie was. Her chest heaved as she caught her breath,

which added a sense of liveliness to her appearance.

“What’s wrong? You look anxious.” Mackenzie was in the middle of her

makeup.

Today’s banquet held great significance for her as Terence had insisted on

publicly announcing her relationship with Emmanuel. She naturally

understood Terence’s intention; he did not want her to act willfully and

divorce Emmanuel as easily as she had done before.

“Mackenzie, Aunt Samantha has brought Emmanuel here. Have you… truly

decided your mind to announce your relationship with him?” Beatrix still

found it hard to believe.

As if his presence qt the Quillen family dinner was not already shocking

enough, they now had to announce their relationship before such a large

audience. It was bound to create a seismic event in Yeringham!

After all, only a few people were aware of what had transpired between

Mackenzie and Emmanuel in the past three months. The majority still held the

impression of her as the cold and aloof female CEO with misandry.

“I haven’t decided yet.” She adjusted her earrings while casually responding,

“I’ll simply go with the flow and see how things unfold.”

“Huh? But-” Beatrix looked at the current Mackenzie and finally realized she

had undergone a subtle yet profound transformation.

At that moment, Lexi suddenly appeared from behind and patted Beatrix’s

shoulder with an amused smile. “Ms. Beatrix, do you remember the bet we

made three months ago?”

“Huh? …” Beatrix’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

“Alright, you two. Did you make a bet involving me?” Mackenzie turned

around, her wise eyes gazing at them.

Lexi quickly responded with a smile. “Ms. Quillen, it was Ms. Beatrix who started

the bet. She said that if your marriage with Emmanuel could last until the

New Year, she would immediately get herself a boyfriend!”

“Oh?” Mackenzie glanced at Beatrix with an ambiguous smile.
