Chapter 268
Claudette was not a braggart; otherwise, she would not have chosen to work
her way up at Lenoir Group, except when people pushed her buttons and
forced her to show her assertive side as the princess of the Lenoir family.
Hence, it was natural that she wouldn’t stoop down to Abellyn’s level as
Abellyn was just showing off in the Lowe Residence.
At this moment, Mackenzie walked into the Lowe Residence, and the cold air
surrounding her attracted glances all around her. She had clearly overheard
Abellyn’s earlier conversation and couldn’t keep her small lips from curling
upward. However, like Claudette, she would rather not waste her time with a
woman like Abellyn and let her continue to delude herself like the ignorant
fool she was.
On the other hand, Abellyn could not contain her anger upon observing the
subtle changes in Mackenzie’s expression. “What are you smiling at,

Mackenzie? Don’t think too highly of yourself; in Yeringham, there are many

Quillen at the banquet the other day. Back then, she thought that the two
shared a similar silhouette, but as she watched Mackenzie walk into the Lowe
Residence with a lack of grandeur, it was a stark contrast from the reverence
Abellyn had witnessed the other day, and she knew that she had definitely
gotten the wrong person. Therefore, she concluded that the two were not in
the same league and could not be the same person!
Nevertheless, Mackenzie didn’t say a word, but the serenity in her eyes made
her look like an eagle unfazed by the nearby magpie’s chatter.
When Alessandra learned that Mackenzie had arrived, she hurriedly rushed
out and tightly gripped her hand.
When she realized she couldn’t continue berating Mackenzie, Abellyn was
forced to swallow her rage and could only let out an angry huff before

leaving.
“Where do you think you’re going, Abellyn?” Ryder, who had been assisting in
the kitchen with dinner preparations, dashed outside when he heard his wife
arguing with another person, just in time to see her walking away, and
shouted after her.
“It’s none of your business! Just take care of yourself!” she roared, using him
as an outlet for her anger.
Since her husband had a bone to pick with her, he lost his temper upon
hearing her words. “If you dare to leave, we’re getting a divorce!”
However, this was what Abellyn was waiting for. Chloe had previously
advised her not to bring up the topic of divorce so that no one would suspect
she had already found a new partner. Although Abellyn’s execution was
imperfect, she took advantage of his words and barked, “Then, so be it! No
one in their right mind would want to spend the rest of their lives with a
worthless man like you who earns only a few hundred every month! Go
ahead and live in poverty alone!”
“Y-You-” Ryder’s face flushed crimson, and he nearly lost his temper when
Alessandra hurriedly stopped them as the head of the family.
Meanwhile, Jack and his wife were already reluctant to pitch in with the
chores before the fight broke out, and they’re even less inclined to do so now.
All of a sudden, no one was doing any work.
At that moment, Emmanuel was frantically busying himself in the kitchen and
was hoping to find someone who would help him when Claudette and
Mackenzie unexpectedly walked in. In a split second, he felt a wave of panic
wash over him. What is this happening?
“What’s going on? Is this the wedding banquet?”

Just then, the groom and his family arrived at the door.
That day, Jaxton’s elder sister, Jessica, accompanied her brother to greet the
bride alongside their other relatives. According to the wedding traditions in
Yeringham and the Oatley family’s request, the groom’s family was not
supposed to attend the bride’s wedding banquet. However, the bride and her
family were required to be present at the groom’s banquet as that was the
formal event. This tradition accorded great respect to the groom’s family,
and the groom had already provided a dowry of 30 thousand in advance.
However, Jessica blew a fuse when she witnessed the mayhem at the Lowe
family’s banquet and learned that a couple threatened to divorce.
“Didn’t we give your family 30 thousand as a dowry? Is it that difficult to host
a banquet at a hotel, yet you insist on hosting it at home to save money?
What has happened?”
In the meantime, Alessandra, who had always been meek–tempered, rushed
forward to apologize upon hearing the groom’s family throwing a temper.
After hearing the fuss growing louder outside, Roselynn led her friends out
and saw Jessica chiding her mother and her relatives.
