Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 506

Samantha had watched over Mackenzie all her life.

121

When Mackenzie was a child, there had been rumors of her not being

Felicity’s biological daughter, fueled by the lack of resemblance between the

two of them. On the other hand, Mackenzie did look a bit like Samantha.

Samantha had remained single all this while, so she treated Mackenzie like

her own daughter.

It could be said that her relationship with Mackenzie was even stronger than

the mother–daughter bond between Mackenzie and Felicity, so naturally, she

knew just how much Mackenzie stayed away from men.

Samantha always thought that she was partly the reason for that, as she too

had never fallen in love with a man before. Therefore, she was extremely

worried that Mackenzie would stay single forever, just like her!

She had been the most thrilled to hear the news of Mackenzie getting

married and was dying to meet her husband. She kept wondering what kind

of man had won over Mackenzie’s cold heart.

Although Felicity was the one who suggested having this dinner, Samantha

was the one who wanted it to happen the most, and so it only stood to

reason that she didn’t mince words when she figured that Felicity had

chased the man off!

“What do you mean by that?”

Felicity never got along with Samantha, and Samantha’s bluntness only

made her respond with a similarly frigid expression.

“What do I mean by that? You understand the words, don’t you?”

Samantha didn’t go easy on Felicity as she ripped into her. “You’re the one

who decided to have this dinner. Everyone came over just so they could take

a look at Mackenzie’s husband and see what kind of a man he is, but you took

it upon yourself to chase him off! Are you toying with us?”

Felicity turned red with fury and the veins on her forehead started throbbing.

Qut of the entire Quillen family, Samantha was the one who treated her the

most poorly.

Felicity had put up with it many times now, but she wasn’t going to put it with

Samantha wagging her finger at her.

The two women were at loggerheads but neither Mackenzie nor Beatrix

showed any sign of stopping them. Sarah had to grit her teeth and do it

herself!

“Don’t blame it on Mom, Aunt Samantha. Emmanuel was the one who chose

to leave!”

Sarah was the only one who would stand up for Felicity.

The other Quillen women simply watched in silence.

Samantha snorted. “Your brother–in–law chose to leave, huh? Are you taking

us for fools or are you saying he’s one? Why would he come all the way here

only to leave for no apparent reason? Why would he have come over in the

first place?”

“Well..” Sarah had nothing to say. Samantha was involved in politics, so

naturally, she had a way with words and a logical mind to go with that.

“Get out of the way!” Samantha wasn’t all that polite with Sarah either. She

shoved her away and continued to rebuke Felicity. “You’re going to have to

answer us today! You’re the one who set up this dinner. All of us dropped

everything else, including work, just so we could come over, and yet you

drove off the star of today’s dinner! Do you think our time can be wasted like

that or do you have no respect for us at all?”

She kept inching her way closer to Felicity who backed away in response.

“Show me a little more respect, Samantha!” Felicity couldn’t take it anymore

and exploded in rage. “Yes, this house belongs to the Quillen family, but

you’re just the Quillen family’s daughters! I’m the daughter–in–law! I’m the

matriarch of this family!”

According to Chanaea’s local customs, women could not represent their

maiden families, especially if they were married. They would be considered

part of their husband’s family instead.

Even though Samantha was single, according to the local customs, her

brother’s wife was the matriarch of the family, not her!

“Have you people ever treated me like I’m a part of your family? All of you

have always treated me poorly as if I’m an outsider!”

The more Felicity let out, the more agitated she became. She threw all

propriety and decorum out the window. “Emmanuel’s my son–in–law. Am I

not allowed to have a private conversation with him? Are you Mackenzie’s

mother, or am I? What right do you have to stick your nose into my

conversation with my son–in–law? Do you think that you, Mackenzie’s aunt,

can have any kind of say in her marriage?”

Felicity seemed to be on the verge of hysteria. None of the other Quillen

women wanted to argue with her now.

On the other hand, Samantha was a straight shooter who didn’t care about

showing courtesy, so she fired right back. “I’m Mackenzie’s aunt! We share the

same last name! We all grew up in this family, so why can’t we care about

Mackenzie’s happiness? Meanwhile, you’re the one who married into this

family, but I’m guessing that your heart’s still with your maiden family, huh?

Don’t think I don’t know about all the times you’ve taken things that belonged

to the Quillen family and fed it back to the Lenoir family. You’ve been living off

us and yet secretly helping your maiden family!”

Many of the Quillen family members knew about this but no one ever

brought it up in public because they wanted to keep the peace. They never

thought Samantha would bring it up right in front of everyone today! Things

were taking a turn for the worse!

Once again, Mackenzie couldn’t stop Samantha in time. Her head was about

to explode!
