“Ms. Lenoir, you seem to be heartbroken. I have to admit, I’m curious. Which
man in this world could be so fortunate yet foolish enough to not appreciate
the love you shower upon him?” Hubert deliberately poked the barely
weeping dragon.
“This… It’s none of your business!” Claudette had no favorable impression of
him and intended to leave immediately.
However, Hubert blocked her path and persisted, his voice brimming with
intrigue, “Ms. Lenoir, allow me to be candid, I have developed feelings for
Mackenzie, while you fancy Emmanuel, am I correct? Why don’t we join forces
and devise a plan to separate them?”
She trembled and said, “I… I’m not interested.”
“Haha…” Hubert chuckled, thoroughly amused by Claudette’s trembling state
and finding it difficult to contain himself. “If you were truly disinterested, you
wouldn’t still be here with me, would you? I know you’re a well–bred princess
who wishes to avoid any wrongdoing, but pursuing your own love, how can
that be considered wrong?”
Claudette bit her lip lightly. She couldn’t deny that she agreed with his words.
Her aunt, Laura, who happened to be Hubert’s aunt as well, had also

she patiently awaited the inevitable breakup between Emmanuel and
Mackenzie. Although she was vehement in her verbal claims of disinterest,
her body betrayed her true feelings, revealing her true thoughts on the
matter.
“We have organized a certain outdoor activity in our circle, located at the
foothills of Flower Mountain. The scenery there is incredibly beautiful, a
sacred place for lovers.”
“I had initially thought of inviting Mackenzie, but I am certain she would refuse
if I approached her directly. However, if you were to extend the invitation, the
chances of success would be significantly higher.” Hubert explained the
intricacies of the plan to Claudette.
It turned out they were just creating an opportunity for her to take Emmanuel
away, and then he would spend time alone with Mackenzie.
It didn’t seem like a bad idea.
Claudette also knew what kind of person Hubert was, and it did seem as
though he would be capable enough to pull off such a simple plan.
“Well, I will give it a try. Besides, I am also interested in experiencing the
beautiful scenery and finding some relaxation.” Claudette agreed as she
made her way back to the banquet.
The atmosphere of the wedding reception was lively, so no one noticed when
she had even left the premises.
Claudette was still thinking about how to bring up the topic when the bride
and groom came to their table.
Emmanuel and Terence had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. They had been
talking a lot today and he reminded Jaxton to treat Roselynn well.
“Oh. By the way, Roselynn, do you have any plans for your honeymoon?” At
that moment, Claudette suddenly interjected.
Jaxton’s expression immediately soured. He was the general manager of the
family business and was usually very busy, so he hadn’t made any plans to
take Roselynn on a honeymoon.
“Well. We have plans, but we haven’t arranged them in detail yet.” Roselynn
quickly intervened to resolve the situation for Jaxton.
“In that case, why don’t we plan a trip to Flower Mountain in a few days? It’s
known for its breathtaking scenery, surrounded by beautiful lakes and
glorious mountains. Plus, there are numerous resorts where you can have a
wonderful honeymoon!” Claudette seized the moment, her voice brimming
with enthusiasm. As she spoke, Roselynn’s attention immediately shifted to

“Of course, that sounds great!” Jaxton hastily agreed, fearing any
disappointment from Roselynn and the potential displeasure of Emmanuel
and Terence.
“Mhm, how about you, Emmanuel? Would you and Miss Quillen like to join us?”
Claudette extended another inviting smile toward Emmanuel and Mackenzie.
Mackenzie’s gaze turned vigilant as she couldn’t shake off the nagging
feeling that this young Ms. Lenoir harbored ulterior motives. Could it be that
she has not given up on pursuing my husband yet?
To think that this young Ms. Lenoir has such audacity! With her striking looks
and prestigious background, Ms. Lenoir could easily attract any man she
desired. Why is she insistent on stealing my husband away?
“Absolutely! You have to go!” Terence interjected, keenly observing the
interaction between Emmanuel and Mackenzie. When he noticed the
questioning glances exchanged between the couple, Terence immediately
prompted impatiently when none of them bothered to respond to
Claudette’s suggestion. Thus, he stepped in and accepted the invitation on
their behalf.
“Oh, Manny. I just realized that you haven’t taken my granddaughter on a
honeymoon yet!”
