Chapter 734
They won’t confront you directly, nor will they blatantly look down on you.
Thus, you won’t have any chance to retaliate.
Instead, they would subtly make you uncomfortable, wearing you down until
you can’t bear it any longer.
No wonder people often say that marrying into a wealthy family is like diving
into unfathomable depths.
Emmanuel had gotten a taste of it.
“Enough about the past. Let’s eat!”
Terence called out again.
Immediately, everyone fell quiet again and began to dine elegantly.
Every move was made with utmost caution.
Emmanuel felt a bit uneasy in this atmosphere, but for Mackenzie’s sake, he
tried his best to fit in.
“Haha, Emmanuel, are the dishes tonight to your liking?” Terence was still in a
good mood, and he was the least restrained among the family members. As
others ate in silence, he suddenly burst into laughter.
“The food is excellent. I rarely get to taste such delicacies!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmmanuel answered honestly.
“Hehe, eat as much as you want. In the future, as long as you come back with
Mackenzie, there will be plenty for you to eat!”
Stephanie chimed in.
Every word sounded fine, but Emmanuel was no fool. He could sense the
underlying insinuation.
She was implying that he was a freeloader.
“Yes! Now that you’re with Mackenzie, make sure to take good care of her.
She’s the cornerstone of the Quillen family. If she’s not doing well, the entire
Quillen family will suffer too!”
“I trust Mackenzie’s judgment. Since she chose you, there must be something
extraordinary about you. I believe, with your assistance, the Terence Group
will reach new heights.”

The women started to chatter.
They were placing invisible pressure on Emmanuel.
If anything were to happen to Mackenzie, or if the Terence Group were to
falter, the blame would fall on Emmanuel.
As for whether he can help Mackenzie manage the Terence Group? They
didn’t believe he was capable of doing
“Enough, all of you. Stop talking!” Terence could see through the women’s
intentions.
Each one of them was thornier than a sea urchin.
Samantha, sensing the tense atmosphere, quickly smiled at Emmanuel. “As
you are Mackenzie’s husband and a rare man in the Quillen family, all the
sisters in the family have high expectations of you. Don’t let us down!”
Her words were openly pressuring Emmanuel, but Emmanuel found it slightly
more soothing than the other remarks.
“Aunt Samantha, rest assured. If there is a need, and it’s within my
capabilities, I will do my best to help Mackenzie!”
Emmanuel pledged openly.
“Haha, having the will is good enough.”
Terence took over the conversation to prevent the women of the Quillen
family from making more pointed comments.
“Emmanuel, do you know that tonight’s celebration banquet was specifically
arranged for you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“For me?”
Emmanuel was slightly taken aback. He laughed and said, “Grandpa, are you
joking? What have I done to deserve this?”
Beside him, Mackenzie couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. Her gaze
seemed to convey that, indeed, Emmanuel hadn’t done anything. All the
credit belonged to Beatrix.
If it weren’t for her making wild guesses and asserting unreasonable
assumptions, there wouldn’t have been a celebration banquet tonight.
Beatrix was also secretly gloating. Dummy Manuel has no idea that his
greatest contribution is sleeping with Mackenzie!
Of course, Terence couldn’t say it directly. After all, the Quillen family upheld
virtues and courtesy.
With hearty laughter, he said, “Have you forgotten? The Terence family’s
warehouse was built because of you. Now that the warehouse is fully
operational, it has brought significant commercial profits to the Terence
Group!”
“So, to reward you, I’ve decided to give a house in the Quillen residence to
you. After dinner, you may go and choose one! Haha…”
What?
The women of the Quillen family were collectively surprised!
