Dinner with the Silverbane Family

at 43%

It was his accidental discovery of Roselynn’s unique charm, he speculated that even Roselynn herself

was unaware of where her shining point lay!

The words his mother had just uttered were simply absurd!

“Be quiet! You foolish son!”

Althea was truly exasperated by Julian’s antics.

She was so incensed that she couldn’t make out a single word. The more Julian spoke, the more she

felt as though Roselynn had put a spell on him!

“What kind of love potion did that woman give you? No! I must take you to break the curse! I will spare

no expense to bring in the best priest in Onza right away!”

Althea seized him and was on the verge of leaving.

“You’re out of your mind and unreasonable!”

Julian felt embarrassed to have such a mother. He scolded her, pushed her away, and drove off from

home.

“Julian! Julian!”

Althea couldn’t stop him. She stamped her feet in frustration and then redirected her anger toward Lexi!

“Hmph! It’s all because of the Quillen family. They are the ones responsible for the Summerton family’s

current predicament. I will never let the Quillen family off the hook!”

After uttering those words, she shot an angry glance at Lexi before storming into the villa in a fit of

indignation.

Zaiden also sighed and entered with a troubled mind.

Lexi was also at a loss. She had initially come to resolve the conflict between the two families, but

inadvertently further fueled Althea’s animosity toward the Quillen family.

Nevertheless, despite the issue, she did not depart empty-handed!

On the other side, Emmanuel and Mackenzie were already seated in an opulent private room in a

restaurant.

In a spacious chamber, beneath a crystal chandelier, Emmanuel, Mackenzie, and the grandfather and

granddaughter from the Silverbane family were seated facing each other.

Mackenzie harbored some doubts about this alliance with the Silverbane family, but as a guest, she

refrained from posing questions.

“Haha! It’s truly a pleasure to have the Quillen family visit the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce today!

Allow me to propose a toast to both of you!”

As the host, Stanley rose and raised his glass to Emmanuel and his wife.

“Old Mr. Silverbane, you’re too kind. I’m truly flattered.”

Mackenzie quickly smiled and raised her glass as well.

me genuine joy.

“Grandpa, your health isn’t suited for excessive drinking!” Angela advised from the side.

“Haha. It’s all right! It’s all right!”

Stanley waved his hand and remarked, “After meeting old friends today, I simply can’t contain my

happiness!”

“Oh? Old friends?” Mackenzie inquired as she was intrigued,

“Yes. Indeed! Didn’t your grandfather inform you? We were close friends many years ago!” He

responded.

She smiled and shook her head slightly while feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“Well, it’s your grandfather’s fault then!”

Stanley’s demeanor was somewhat akin to Terence’s, but he was more forthright in his speech. “When

the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce was first established, I invited him to co-manage it with me, to

uphold a fair business environment for Nuthana merchants, but he declined. Moreover, the Quillen

family has been reluctant to join the chamber of commerce for so many years!”

Mackenzie nodded in understanding. If he hadn’t disclosed it himself, she wouldn’t have been aware of

her grandfather’s past experiences.

He suddenly changed the topic. “So, when I saw the Quillen family submit their application, I was

overjoyed. And it appears that the Quillen family also has a son-in-law. The Quillen family joining the

Nuthana Chamber of Commerce would undoubtedly be a blessing for the business community in

Nuthana!”

“Son-in-law?”

Mackenzie hesitated for a moment, then gestured toward the man next to her and asked, “Are you

referring to

him?”

Emmanuel couldn’t help but touch his nose and a bitter smile formed in his heart. Mackenzie’s actions

and tone were so surprising. It made him feel a bit embarrassed.

“Exactly,” Angela chimed in when Emmanuel was mentioned. “Last night, Mr. Lowe saved us. And

today, he exposed the Tanner family’s scheme. Without him; we wouldn’t be here enjoying this

delicious food.”

“I see,” Mackenzie added before shooting Emmanuel a discreet glare as if to say, “You did this and

didn’t even tell

me?”

Emmanuel could only smile bitterly. He was afraid of revealing his identity, so how could he have the

courage to tell Mackenzie himself? He never expected the Silverbane family to be so unscrupulous by

selling him out like this.

Luckily, both the grandfather and granddaughter were wise and understanding. They chose not to

further expose Emmanuel’s identity.
