Chapter-27

Mackenzie led the way while Beatrix trailed behind her, 

and the two of them could hear everyone greeting 

them respectfully. 

Although Mackenzie was an aloof woman, she was not 

cocky. In response, she would incline her head at the 

more important figures in the corporate world out of 

courtesy. 

Men who received her response would puff up their 

chests in pride. 

In the meantime, as Emmanuel and Roselynn could 

not see who everyone was excited about, they decided 

to continue enjoying the food before them. 

On the other hand, when Mackenzie went up the stairs 

and raked her gaze across the room, she noticed her 

husband in the corner. 

What's going on? That man is sharing food with 

another woman, and they're even chatting so merrily? 

The polite smile on Mackenzie's face faded, and the 

temperature around her dropped drastically. 

Why is that man here? Is he cheating on me? D*mn it! 

Although Mackenzie told Emmanuel that it was fine for 

him to date other women after they got married, she 

realized she was still perturbed when she actually saw 

him with another woman. 

Fortunately, their marriage was a secret, and no one 

knew that Emmanuel was her husband. Otherwise, his 

appearance with another woman would have ruined 

her illustrious reputation. 

"Hmph!" 

Following a sudden scoff, Mackenzie stopped greeting 

the others and left the ballroom on the first floor. 

Beatrix, who could not read Mackenzie's mind, was 

baffled. Mackenzie's expression changed in the blink of 

an eye! What's going on? 

However, a thought popped into her head when she 

followed Mackenzie's gaze to the spot in the corner 

and noticed Emmanuel. 

Beatrix had never seen Emmanuel before, so she 

quickly pulled Mackenzie's personal assistant closer to 

her and asked, "Greta, who's that man?" 

"Ms. Beatrix, that's Emmanuel Lowe." 

"Oh!" Beatrix exclaimed as realization dawned upon 

him. 

How bold can he be to court other women here? 

Mackenzie even caught him red–handed! Hoho, if 

Mackenzie gets mad, she'll have a thousand and one 

ways to kill him! 

"Lexi, keep an eye on that man for me, and come to me 

right away if anything happens." 

"Of course, Ms. Beatrix," Lexi replied, but she was 

confused. 

He's not your husband. If anything, I should be 

reporting to Ms. Mackenzie instead. 

Lexi did not dare to voice those thoughts out loud, 

however. 

Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Roselynn had no idea they 

had been spotted by Mackenzie and her cousin, let 

alone how Mackenzie had misunderstood Emmanuel's 

relationship with Roselynn. 

It was a strange situation, to sum it up. 

"Roselynn, I don't see any handsome guys around. Why 

don't we go to another floor?" 

Emmanuel still remembered the task his mother had 

assigned him to. 

He was already married, and it was time for him to get 

Roselynn married too. Otherwise, it would be risky for 

Roselynn to give birth if things dragged on for a few 

more years. 

"I'd love to enjoy more delicacies on different floors, but 

the invitation I received only allows me to remain on 

the first floor." 

Roselynn shrugged, the look in her eyes seemingly 

telling Emmanuel that there was nothing she could do. 

Right then, a sweet voice rang out behind them. 

"Roselynn! Dr. Lowe!" 

The siblings turned to see a woman in a light green 

gown and a smile on her face ambling toward them. 

The look in the attractive woman's eyes was a calm 

one, and she was wearing a diamond necklace around 

her slender neck. The diamond twinkled under the 

lights, and it was so brilliant it looked as if the entire 

universe had been kept in the precious rock. 

"Claudette?" 

Roselynn jumped to her feet in excitement before 

launching herself over to the other woman and 

hugging her. My boss came at the right time!
