Ch. 781..790
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 781-Emmanuel arrived at Terence Group a little before 6 p.m. only to learn that Mackenzie had already gone home.
He was puzzled. Is she okay? This has never happened before. novelbin With a hint of worry, Emmanuel hurriedly drove home.
Upon opening the door, he found Mackenzie slouching on the couch, her beautiful eyes half-closed, seemingly asleep.
Emmanuel felt a pang of heartache.
After being married for over three months, this was the first time he had seen her looking so tired.
Concerned that she might be uncomfortable sleeping like this, Emmanuel gently tried to lift her up to put her back on the bed.
2 To his surprise, Mackenzie was still quite awake. Just as he placed his large hand on her shoulder, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Wash Her What?1 Seeing her vigilant look, Emmanuel felt a bit embarrassed and quickly explained, “I only meant to carry you to bed.” Mackenzie’s gaze became even more alert in response.
Only then did Emmanuel realize that his words could be interpreted ambiguously, so he further explained, “What I mean is, I wanted to carry you to bed to sleep. The position here is not comfortable!” 2/5 Feeling that Mackenzie was still giving him a strange look, Emmanuel started to feel a bit frustrated. How did this turn into such a misunderstanding?!
“That’s alright. I won’t sleep anymore.” Mackenzie knew that he didn’t mean it that way; she just thought he was a fool. Has he really never considered sleeping with me?!
“Okay then, if you’re too tired, you should wash up and go to bed early.” Emmanuel let go of her shoulder and expressed his concern.
Suddenly, Mackenzie remembered that Wally helped her bring in the bag of Wash Her What?!
peaches earlier and had left it on the table.
Having just been dozing off and now feeling a bit thirsty, she asked, “Emmanuel, can you help me wash the peaches?” 3/5 What?! Emmanuel thought he was hallucinating. What did Mackenzie ask me to help wash?! Has our marital relationship progressed to this point?
“What’s wrong? Can’t you?” Mackenzie sat up and lazily stretched her waist.
The curve of her figure was like a deadly weapon, capable of destroying anyone’s composure.
“Um… Is this really okay?” Emmanuel, who was impervious to any woman’s charms, suddenly became nervous as if he had been electrified. His entire body tensed up.
Every single moment with this woman was a beautiful scene.
“How do you usually like to wash? Do you want to use the bathtub?” This being his first time with Mackenzie, he thought he couldn’t afford to be careless.
Wash Her What?!
Mackenzie paused for a moment. Being as smart as she was, she immediately understood that Emmanuel, the big fool, had misunderstood.
He didn’t see the bag of peaches, did he?
She had thought about clarifying right away, but upon second thought, he decided to see if this man had the audacity.
“No need for the bathtub!” said Mackenzie as she revealed a smile that was both teasing and mysterious before striding away gracefully.
Chaos!
Is she testing me?
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to?” Mackenzie looked at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“I… I do.” Emmanuel could only nod and unconsciously swallowed.
Seems like Mackenzie’s serious about this. Is she so tired that she doesn’t even have the energy to wash up?
Mackenzie thought he had seen the bag of peaches, so she stood up directly and turned around, saying, “I’ll go brush my teeth first, then!” She had a bit of an obsession with cleanliness. After dozing off for a while, she would brush her teeth before eating.
“Wait!” Emmanuel quickly stopped her.
“What’s the matter?” Mackenzie turned to look at him.
Every single moment with this woman was a beautiful scene.

4/5 Mackenzie thought he had seen the bag of peaches, so she stood up directly and turned around, saying, “I’ll go brush my teeth first, then!” She had a bit of an obsession with cleanliness. After dozing off for a while, she would brush her teeth before eating.
“Wait!” Emmanuel quickly stopped her.
“What’s the matter?” Mackenzie turned to
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 782-Emmanuel’s heartbeat was completely thrown into disarray!
He had thought that, at most, Mackenzie would ask him to help her with preparing a hot bath, but now she wasn’t even using the bathtub. She’s serious about wanting me to scrub her, ahem, doesn’t she?
Just thinking about the scene made his blood boil… Good heavens, Mackenzie must actually be sick and not just tired today! She looks quite unwell!
Since she had demanded his assistance, he could only comply.
While Mackenzie went to brush her teeth, he entered the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature, and prepared the shower gel and bath sponge.
Thinking that in a little while, Mackenzie would be standing before him, completely nude, asking for his assistance with her bath, he found his heart racing.
He wouldn’t have dared to even dream of such a thing before.
Today, I can finally openly appreciate wifey’s beautiful body… Is she also planning to do something else after the shower? Has Grandpa pressured her to get pregnant sooner again?
His racing heart gradually became even more chaotic.
Emmanuel walked somewhat absentmindedly out of the bathroom and ran straight into Mackenzie.
“What’s wrong? You seem a little off,” she said with a slightly mischievous smile, her long eyelashes curved upward playfully.
“I… I’m fine. I’m ready to help you with your shower!” Emmanuel actually couldn’t meet his wife’s gaze, and his focus kept shifting.
“Do you need such formal preparations for washing peaches?” Mackenzie suddenly pointed to a bag of peaches on the table in the living room. “I meant washing those peaches. Where did your mind wander off to?” Emmanuel continued more fluently, “Ms. Quillen, you are my legal wife. Isn’t it normal for a husband to misunderstand what you said just now?
“I’ll say it straight, Ms. Quillen. You have a great figure, delicate skin, and most importantly, there’s an inexplicable allure about you that attracts me. I enjoy admiring your body, and I crave your touch, okay?! Is this answer satisfactory?” Mackenzie furrowed her brows and stared icily at Emmanuel. How dare he! I can’t believe he sair such shameless things to my face!
If it were someone else, Mackenzie would have slapped him across the face and cursed him for generations to come. However, there was a strange flutter in her heart right now.
Emmanuel was being so candid that she found herself avoiding his gaze.
Emmanuel really wanted to take advantage of the situation and pull his wife into the bathroom to help her shower. But his courage slowly dissipated, and with a red face, he said, “Since the water temperature is already adjusted, Mackenzie, you go ahead and shower. I’ll wash the peaches for you!” Yes, I Want To Help You Shower!
Mackenzie snorted coldly, turned her face away, and remained silent. Her heartbeat slightly accelerated.
Just when I wonder if he’d dare pull mé into the bathroom.
But in the end, Emmanuel didn’t dare to do it, passing by her side instead.
“Coward!” Mackenzie muttered under her breath and coldly walked into the bathroom. novelbin 5/5 Emmanuel face-palmed, deeply regretting how he could’ve uttered such words just now. How dare I actually tell the Ice Queen that I crave her body?! I must be out of my mind! You’re supposed to be a straight-laced guy, Emmanuel! How can you have such thoughts…
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 783-“Jaxton, a man should speak with more decorum, especially when addressing his wife!” Sebastian immediately scolded his son.
Jaxton looked sullen but dared not disobey his father.
Jennifer’s gaze, on the other hand, was even more ominous.
Her priorities were different from those of the men. She did not involve herself in the Oatley business and only cared about her position within the family.
Now that Sebastian was praising Roselynn so highly, and considering that her son was planning to bring Roselynn back, as the mother-in-law, would she have to live according to her daughter-in-law’s whims? No way would she accept that!
As for Jessica, she remained silent. While she didn’t look as displeased as Jennifer, her expression was still icy.
Roselynn’s palms began to sweat upon seeing the family, and she forced herself to face them with a smile.
The Oatleys’ dden Visit “Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Oatley, what brings you guys here? Please come in!” Alessandra, as the host, could only invite the Oatleys inside first.
“Hello, Mrs. Lowe. Sorry for the intrusion!” Sebastian maintained his dignity and spoke politely to Alessandra.
Meanwhile, the Oatley siblings nodded casually and went straight inside.
As for Jennifer, she didn’t even spare Alessandra a glance.
In her eyes, a rural woman like Alessandra naturally had a class barrier separating them. She had no interest in associating with such women.
The Oatleys’ visit on this day was due to Sebastian’s pressure and Jennifer’s desire to resolve her son’s marriage.
If Roselynn continued to dare put on airs, Jennifer, as the mother-in-law, would not tolerate her anymore.
After the Oatleys entered the house, Alessandra quickly instructed, “Roselynn, chat with your husband’s family while I make some tea.” The Oatleys’ Sudden Visit and never liked to be taken advantage of. “You’re not treating me like a daughter-in-law but rather a servant!” “You-how dare you!” Jennifer almost raised her hand. In her belief, no daughter-in-law could defy their mother-in-law like this.
4/4 Jennifer’s reaction toward Roselynn’s attitude was driven not only by the fact that Roselynn didn’t take Jaxton seriously but also because she believed that her son’s injury at the amusement park was caused by this woman.
Moreover, her son had been bedridden for days, yet as his wife, Roselynn hadn’t visited him even once. Is this even right?!
“Jennifer, be polite!” Sebastian quickly stopped Jennifer, then smiled at Alessandra. “Apologies, Mrs. Lowe. My wife is just too concerned about our son, so her mood isn’t the best after seeing him injured.” “Oh, is Jaxton alright?”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 784-Alessandra finally showed concern. He was her son-in-law, after all. She should’ve shown concern earlier.
ו “It’s nothing, just two fractures.” Jaxton’s expression was peculiar; not exactly angry, but it seemed like he was deliberately showing a certain demeanor.
As they said, a strange tone!
“Hmph, it’s all because of your daughter that my son got injured!” Jennifer couldn’t help but get angry again. “The Ferris wheel incident, Jaxton jumped to protect her, and that’s how he ended up with fractures!” Hearing this, Alessandra looked confused. It was a different version from what her daughter told her.
Roselynn was even infuriated. When her mom asked about it earlier, she had spared Jaxton by not revealing the details. She had only mentioned that everyone was fine and that she and Jaxton had jumped separately. Who would’ve thought that this shameless man would claim that he got injured to protect her?!
No wonder Jennifer is so hostile. It’s all because of this shameless b*stard!
Seeing Roselynn’s fierce gaze, Jaxton instinctively lowered his head and quickly said, “Mom, actually, my injury has nothing to do with Roselynn…” “Enough, don’t defend her anymore!” Jennifer was still boiling with anger, and she exclaimed, “I know you like her, but marriage isn’t just about love. It can’t be one-sided all the time! We’ve come today to clarify things!” After a pause, she glared sharply at Alessandra and demanded an answer, “We demand an answer today, Mrs. Lowe. Should this marriage continue or not?” “Well…” Alessandra naturally wanted her daughter’s marriage to last forever. It would be embarrassing if they divorced after only two months of marriage.
That said, she didn’t want to pressure Roselynn too much. She could only look at her daughter with pleading eyes, leaving the decision up to her.
约 Roselynn gritted her teeth and confronted them directly. “Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been waiting until now to confront us because you want to use Chapter 784 Mackenzie Shows up The family of four shivered simultaneously.
This inherent aura of the aristocracy was something they couldn’t contend with as members of a small family.
“Mrs. Oatley, are you suggesting that my family should seek favors from yours?” Mackenzie’s expression and demeanor were so chilling that it seemed like she could freeze the Oatleys over.
Jennifer, who had been confident just a moment ago, was now as timid as a quail and dared not speak. She had spoken out of impulse earlier, but she knew full well that the camel’s bones were still bigger than those of a horse.
How dare she boast in front of Mackenzie, the heiress of the Quillen family?!
“No, no, no, Ms. Quillen, please don’t misunderstand!” Sebastian quickly smiled and explained, “Women don’t know better. I will reprimand her when I get back!” He thought this would win some favor with Mackenzie. Little did he know that Mackenzie became even colder. She furrowed her brows slightly and questioned, “I am also a woman, so are you implying that I also don’t know
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 785-Mackenzie emerged from the bathroom with slightly damp hair and smelled nice.
As she stepped into the living room, her eyes fell upon the clear glass bowl filled with peaches.
Casually, she casually picked one up and took a small bite.
Her graceful manner of eating was truly elegant, and her chewing motion was a sight to behold.
Emmanuel couldn’t help gawking at her.
His wife, in her nightwear, had a remarkably alluring figure, something that even he, a former gynecologist, found hard to resist.
Despite sharing the same physiological structure as other women, there was 2 something about her that seemed slightly different.
“It’s quite sweet. Do you want some?” Mackenzie suddenly looked over with her beautiful eyes.
Emmanuel instinctively averted his gaze, feeling somewhat uneasy. “I’ve already had some; it’s indeed quite sweet.” Seeing his slightly unnatural expression, a hint of a smile appeared on Mackenzie’s lips, giving her a sense of accomplishment that she could make even a gynecologist crave her body.
The fatigue from earlier in the day seemed to vanish due to the pleasure she felt both physically and mentally. Perhaps, this was one of the benefits of marriage?
“Let’s go home together tomorrow.” “Home? Whose home?” Emmanuel immediately raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
“What do you think?” Mackenzie smiled.
Emmanuel wasn’t as clueless as she had imagined. He became excited Visit Home you plan on suing Hubert Verkade?” “No,” Emmanuel replied straightforwardly. “If I wanted to finish him off, I wouldn’t have saved him that day. That said, he’s probably regretting being alive now.” A hint of admiration flashed in Mackenzie’s eyes, and she continued, “You don’t mind if I use this incident to gain some business benefits, then?” 4/5 Of course not! If you need my help, just ask anytime!” Emmanuel was novelbin remarkably open, understanding that his wife’s interests were his interests as well.
“That won’t be necessary,” Mackenzie said. “Though Hubert is suffering right now, his mother still doesn’t want him in jail. I can at least utilize that to secure more than 30 million in benefits from the Verkades for my business.
Do you need any repayment from me?” “Your company with me tomorrow to visit my family is the best repayment,” Emmanuel said with a smile.
Mackenzie blinked in slight surprise, then felt a sweet sensation well up in her heart.
This man’s skills in wooing his wife are growing day by day. Also becoming more and more dangerous!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 786-That evening, Alessandra received a call from Emmanuel, and as expected, she was so excited that she could hardly sleep, eagerly awaiting the break of dawn.
Even before noon, she had already started to prepare the soup.
Roselynn hadn’t gone out that day, still in her pajamas, and when she saw her mother preparing the slow-cooked soup, she subconsciously thought it was for lunch.
“Mom, it’s nearly lunch. Why are you only making soup now?” “Shoo, this is for dinner. Mackenzie and Emmanuel are coming home!” “Tsk, tsk…” Roselynn deliberately put on a jealous front and said, “Mom, I’ll novelbin make sure to be your daughter-in-law in my next life!” ?
“Get out of here. You’re acting as if I’ve mistreated you. What daughter still lives with her mother at 30?!” Helping Mackenzie)
2/6 The next moment, Roselynn “turned off” her ears and retreated back into her room.
Alessandra sighed deeply. She really didn’t know what to do with her daughter. Despite being finally married, she kept returning to her mother’s constantly. It would only be an invitation for others to make fun of her!
Roselynn’s mood wasn’t great either. Back when Claudette was still around, she had someone to confide in. Now she couldn’t find anyone to talk to.
After some thought, she decided to share her worries with her younger brother. But just as she opened her phone, she received a news notification.
‘Numerous companies terminate cooperation with Terence Group. Can Yeringham’s top conglomerate continue its glory?’ She quickly tapped to read the news.
After finishing the article, she anxiously contacted Emmanuel.
“Emmanuel, have you seen the news? Mackenzie’s company is in a dire situation, isn’t it?” “Yeah, probably! Mackenzie has been extremely exhausted lately when she comes home. There must be a lot of trouble. There’s a mysterious force that’s opposing the Terence Group in the dark!” Emmanuel wouldn’t discuss these matters with others, but since Roselynn was his birth sister, he didn’t mind sharing with her.
He had long suspected that the force was from the Zelinsky family of Zovince.
Unfortunately, they hadn’t revealed themselves yet, and he currently didn’t have any means to help his wife.
“Manny, do you think Mackenzie might be considering a collaboration with the Oatleys?” Roselynn seemingly suddenly figured out the reason behind Mackenzie’s visit home this day.
The Oatleys’ company specialized in refining and processing technology. She had noticed many related industries had terminated their cooperation with Terence Group. It was likely Terence Group would need to find new partners.
Emmanuel didn’t ask Mackenzie about it last night, but upon hearing his sister’s words, he thought it was a possibility.
Helping Mackenzie 4/6 That said, he didn’t want to pressure his sister, nor did he want her to sacrifice her own happiness for Mackenzie’s business by becoming a bridge for them.
So, he advised, “Sis, you don’t need to worry about Mackenzie. There is a saying that goes, ‘Even if a centipede is dead, it doesn’t stiffen.’ The Quillens have deep roots in Yeringham for decades. It would be extremely difficult for anyone to bring them down.” Roselynn understood the reasoning, but she was still apprehensive. Her apparent jealousy of Mackenzie earlier was just a pretense; in reality, she felt closer to Mackenzie than to her own younger sister.
Moreover, Mackenzie had helped her family multiple times before, and Roselynn was truly grateful. If she could assist Mackenzie in any way, she would do so without hesitation.
Time flew, and 5 p.m. arrived.
Alessandra had been watching the time all day. Her fondness for Mackenzie 2 truly extended beyond her own daughter. She was also well aware that if it weren’t for Mackenzie, her family wouldn’t be where they were today.
wife. What reason would I need to pick you up?!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 787-“What? No, no, no!” Sebastian waved his hands repeatedly. “Please don’t misunderstand, Ms. Quillen. I was just referring to my woman!” His forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
Jennifer, who had never experienced the business world, didn’t know that even though the Quilles were currently in a predicament, and while self-rescue might be difficult, they could still crush a small enterprise like the Oatleys’ effortlessly.
It was like a small animal provoking a stuck elephant in a quagmire-it could easily be crushed to death.
Seeing their father in such a panic, Jaxton and Jessica also tensed up. They quickly realized that the rumored Icy Female CEO was truly formidable as novelbin they experienced the overwhelming icy intimidation of the Quillen family’s heiress firsthand.
This kind of presence couldn’t be grasped through words alone. It had to be experienced with one’s senses and every single cell in the body to understand the terror within.
Mackenzie coldly snorted and ignored the Oatleys. Instead, she turned to Alessandra and smiled faintly. “Mom, Emmanuel and I are back for dinner.” and “Wonderful! I’ll set the table right away!” Alessandra was very enthusiastic.
She gently patted Mackenzie’s hand before sizing the young woman up then reluctantly waiked away.
Roselynn was crushed by what she saw, and she glanced at Jennifer again, her eyes tinged with disappointment and a hint of anger.
She wouldn’t expect her mother-in-law to dote on her like her own mother. All she hoped for was that her mother-in-law wouldn’t always act so.
condescending and strive to keep her underfoot, making her serve her son like a dog.
Feeling her gaze, Jennifer clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, but not daring to say another word.
Even her husband feared Mackenzie. With Roselynn relying on their family connections with the Quillens, what could Jennifer do against this daughter-in-law?!
Hmph, just you wait, Roselynn Lowe. I will make sure you suffer the day you lose your backing! How dare a lowly commoner like you dare to act like a queen after marrying into our family?! Jennifer mused.
Meanwhile, the Low thered at the dining table for dinner.
Mackenzie also wanted to help out. Since the last time she washed dishes, she would assist Emmanuel in some chores whenever she had spare time at home, though it was rare.
“Oh my, Mackenzie! You sit down quickly. How can you do this kind of work?
Quickly!” Alessandra quickly pulled Mackenzie to sit down.
While she still didn’t know Mackenzie’s exact identity, she understood that she was a delicate woman. She couldn’t let her daughter-in-law handle such tasks. She didn’t know if her son would care, but she was reluctant herself.
Mackenzie didn’t insist and just watched Emmanuel and Roselynn busy themselves.
On the other hand, the Oatleys had already taken their seats, showing no intention of helping..
4/5 After Mackenzie arrived, Jennifer no longer pretended to be a noble lady and wasn’t afraid that the Lowes’ furniture would dirty her high-end clothes. She simply sat down Their family was different from the Lowes, a commoner household, and although they didn’t have hundreds of servants like the Quillens, they could still afford to hire servants specifically to serve them during meals.
Such things were unheard of and beneath them. If they did them, they would feel as though their status was diminished.
“Ms. Quillen, I apologize for the lack of good wine today. I will offer you a cup of tea instead. Cheers!” Sebastian, seeing Mackenzie seated, seized the opportunity to build rapport.
After all, many people attending high-class gatherings wished to become familiar faces in front of the young Quillen heiress.
The Oatleys’ rare opportunity this day would mak
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 788-The only downside was that the Quillens current status wasn’t as glorious as before.
Emmanuel and Roselynn happened to come out with the dishes and saw this novelbin scene.
Seeing Mackenzie actually giving Sebastian due respect, Emmanuel began Group might truly be considering a collaboration with to think that Ter the Oatleys. Otherwise, with Mackenzie’s icy personality, she wouldn’t even bother with such people.
“Come, let’s sit down and have a meal together!” Alessandra, a simple woman from the lower class, had no knowledge of the ways of high society.
Her wish was quite modest: for the family to be together harmoniously.
It was a rare occasion for her son-in-law’s family and daughter-in-law to visit together, and she felt happier than ever.
With the lively atmosphere in the Lowe family this day, as the matriarch of the Lowe family, she felt that she had upheld the honor of her ancestors.
Finally, she raised her children to establish their own families.
So, once Emmanuel and Roselynn were seated, she immediately turned to Sebastian and Jennifer and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Oatley, since you are here today, let’s talk about the children’s marriage!” Jennifer didn’t dare to speak out of turn after Mackenzie arrived.
Mackenzie was the natural enemy of women like her, who felt an internal sense of superion..y.
Hearing this, Sebastian quickly responded, “You’re speaking my mind, Mrs.
Lowe! The marriage of our two children is a bridge of fate built by our ancestors in heaven. Young people might not fully grasp the value of this fate, but as experienced individuals, we should give them a helping hand!” “Yes, yes!” Alessandra echoed, nodding in agreement. “Mr. Oatley, I’m not as educated as you, and I speak a bit plainly. I might have spoiled my daughter since she was little, and she has a rather independent and obstinate personality. She doesn’t know how to accommodate others, so please bear with her!” establish a close connection with the Quillens. Especially now when the Quillens were in difficult times. It was an excellent opportunity for the Oatleys to get involved.
If they could form a union through marriage with the Quillens, help them overcome their challenges, and regain their peak status, then the Oatleys wouldn’t have to worry about their future.
“Look, Roselynn, not only Jaxton, but even his father treats you so well. Why are you still picking fights with them?” Alessandra was also pressuring her daughter. She didn’t want her daughter to treat marriage as child’s play.
Emmanuel and Mackenzie remained silent, observing quietly. They didn’t want to offer Roselynn any advice.
Right now, any advice from outsiders would only add pressure to Roselynn and potentially influence her decision.
“Okay, I’m willing to return to the Oatley family!” Finally, Roselynn pursed her lips and declared, “But I have three conditions that you must agree to!” Upon hearing this, Jaxton’s face, which was originally gloomy, suddenly lit up!
As long as Roselynn was willing to go back with him, sleep in the same bed, and sate his desires of the flesh, he was open to all negotiations.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 789-“Roselynn, if you have any conditions, just go ahead and say it!” Sebastian extended his hand, assuming the posture of a senior in charge.
Although Jennifer wore a grim expression, she remained silent.
She had long known that this daughter-in-law of hers was difficult to tame. If she dared to make outrageous demands, she would make her son divorce her on the spot.
A commoner woman was nothing if not for her brother climbing up the social.
ladder!
“Alright, in that case, I’ll speak up!” Roselynn didn’t care what was going through Jennifer’s mind. For the sake of her mother and Mackenzie, she decided to give Jaxton another chance.
“First, from now on, your family must respect my family, especially my mother!” The crowd trembled slightly. Their expressions varied!
Despite being shaken up, Alessandra said, “Roselynn, what are you talking about? The Oatleys have always respected me!” From the elderly woman’s perspective, anyone who didn’t curse or physically harm her already respected her.
However, the Oatleys’ lack of respect toward her was never as direct and explicit as the way the Zimmerman family expressed it.
So, Alessandra couldn’t perceive the truth, and even if she did, she wouldn’t only think she had taken it wrongly.
Roselynn didn’t respond to her mother’s words. Her mother might be oblivious to it, but it didn’t mean that was the case for her too. Especially Jennifer-she hadn’t exchanged greetings with her mother from the get-go, didn’t sit down, and directly claimed she couldn’t stand the tea her mother brewed. Weren’t these signs of disrespect? That woman clearly looked down on her mother to the core!
2 “Haha, that’s a given!” Sebastian immediately responded with a smile.
“Marriage is a matter of two families, and mutual respect is essential!” 5/5 something they dislike. He really couldn’t figure out where this family’s anger stemmed from.
“Alright, onto the third condition!” Roselynn didn’t waste any time and continued, “After marriage, each person’s property remains independent.
Even in case of divorce, the assets won’t be split!” Upon hearing the condition, the Oatleys once again reeled in stupefaction.
Jennifer burst into silent laughter. After the first two conditions, she thought the third one might be even worse. Who would have thought it would actually be something advantageous to the Oatleys and harmless?!
She knew full well that this kind of woman was internally proud. What property could her family have that the Oatleys would covet? It was simply hilarious!
“Alright, no problem!” Sebastian agreed at once, no longer in the mood for prolonged discussions.
Mackenzie had been quietly observing and analyzing the situation. Shenovelbin noticed the Oatleys’ joyful reaction to the third condition, reflecting, their disdain for the Lowes. In contrast, Roselynn remained calm yet subtly.
determined and confident. Her gaze seemed to hold a longer-term perspective than her counterpart.
Does she believe that she will earn more than the Oatleys in the future?
Where does she get such confidence?
3 “Good, since you’ve agreed, I’ll write down the three conditions, and we can all sign and stamp it after that. We’ll live according to the agreement from now on!” Roselynn was very serious about this.
She knew early on that her younger brother and Mackenzie had also signed a marriage agreement, so why couldn’t she do the same? It was the best way to protect herself while also assisting Mackenzie.
The Oatleys didn’t mind her actions, especially Sebastian, who was only after the chance to coopate with the Quillens.
As Roselynn stepped away, he immediately smiled and said, “Ms. Quillen, I 3 heard that Terence Group is looking for a partner in energy refining technology. Since we’re in-laws, can we discuss the possibility of collaboration?” Emmanuel also looked at Mackenzie.
Mackenzie remained composed and monotoned, “I’ve come home for dinner today and don’t intend to discuss business-”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 790-Hitch a Ride With Terence Group 3/5 After hearing part of her sentence, Sebastian felt disappointed and angry. He thought the Quillens remained behaving high and mighty even in their dire state.
“If you genuinely want to cooperate with Terence Group, Mr. Oatley, please come to our headquarters tomorrow at 3 p.m.,” Mackenzie continued.
Sebastian’s expression momentarily froze, but he quickly regained his bright smile. “Alright! I will definitely be there on time!” The other three Oatley family members also smiled since they finally caught, a ride on the Terence Group’s business juggernaut. The Oatleys’ enterprise could take off from here!
“Alright, let’s start eating. The food will get cold if we keep this up.” Alessandra, as the hostess, finally found an opportunity to speak.
She had no interest in business matters; her main concern was her children’s -happy marriages and the family’s overalt happiness.
“Haha, let’s dig in!” Sebastian’s laughter was now hearty, quite different from Ignite Your Entrepreneurial Spirit:… novelbin sponsored by Entrepreneug Classes Emmanuel away at once, then whispered in his ear, “If you really want to be a dutiful son to me, hurry up and give me a grandchild with Mackenzie. I won’t be lonely anymore when I look after your baby, no?” Haha… Emmanuel forced a chuckle. His mother wasn’t wrong. However, how was he to make that happen with Mackenzie?!
