Chapter-36

"Ms. Beatrix, we should keep a distance from each 

other and maintain the boundaries with the opposite 

gender. Where are you bringing me?" 

Finally, Emmanuel couldn't stand it anymore and 

shoved her away. 

He was utterly confounded. How did she know me? 

"How could you possibly utter such a vile statement?" 

Beatrix jeered, her voice dripping with disdain. "It's 

nothing short of repulsive!" 

To Beatrix, physical appearance was of the utmost 

importance when selecting a partner. She thought 

Emmanuel was attractive, and she had also learned 

about his valorous accomplishment from Mackenzie. 

Mackenzie had relayed to her that Emmanuel's swift 

action enabled the Terence Group's project to 

continue moving forward without a hitch. These factors 

combined to give her a very positive impression of him. 

However, when she saw him flirting with Roselynn 

behind her sister's back a while ago, her favorable 

impression of him disappeared into thin air. 

Earlier, she showed up to help Emmanuel upon 

receiving Lexi's report as he was Mackenzie's husband. 

"What are you talking about?" Emmanuel asked with a 

frown. 

He was asking her to make herself clear. 

"What else? You're married, right? How could you even 

think of flirting with someone else behind your wife's 

back? That's outrageous!" Beatrix exclaimed with her 

hands on her hips. 

However, Emmanuel wasn't interested at all in her 

curvaceous body. He was amused and didn't bother 

taking another look at her. 

"Why are you laughing?" Beatrix demanded. 

It was time for Beatrix to demand an explanation. If his 

explanation wasn't satisfactory, she would definitely 

make him pay. 

Members of the upper–class society in Yeringham 

were well acquainted with the Quillen sisters. One was 

an ice queen, and another was known for her fiery 

temper. 

No one had the capacity to calm Beatrix's temper 

when she was in the throes of a furious outburst. 

"You're funny." 

Emmanuel finally deigned himself to look at her. "I 

don't know how you figured out that I'm married, but 

you don't even know that Roselynn is my real sister. Are 

you saying that I'm flirting with my sister?" 

"Huh? She's your sister?" 

Beatrix gaped in disbelief upon realizing that she had 

just embarrassed herself. 

I wanted to help Mackenzie catch her husband in the 

act and then teach him a lesson for cheating on her. It 

turns out they are siblings! Oh, how embarrassing! 

"But you don't look like her!" she insisted. 

"Who says siblings must resemble each other?" 

Emmanuel was too lazy to explain that he shared the 

same physical features as their father, with Roselynn 

mirroring their mother's appearance. No one would 

guess they were siblings with their physical 

appearances. 

"Who are you, though? How are you related to 

Mackenzie?" he inquired. 

"Huh? You don't know who I am?" Beatrix was filled with 

a strange sense of excitement and was intrigued when 

she realized that he had no idea who she was. 

I'm his sister–in–law, but he doesn't even know it. This is 

unbelievable! 

Emmanuel didn't seem like he was lying, so Beatrix was 

certain that her sister had been keeping things a 

secret from him, particularly those relating to their 

family. 

"I know who you are. You're Beatrix Quillen, from the 

Quillen family. What I would like to know is how you are 

related to my wife," Emmanuel stated curiously. 

"Well, I won't tell you anything. You can guess the truth 

yourself!" Beatrix stuck her tongue out and turned to 

leave. 

Fortunately, Mackenzie and I have totally opposite 

characters. He doesn't know that we're siblings. 

Emmanuel knitted his brows. They both share the 

same surname. Could it be that my wife is related to 

the rich Quillen family? 

After chatting briefly with Emmanuel, Beatrix returned 

to the top floor and found Mackenzie. 

Mackenzie had a productive discussion with a 

business owner. After she promised to enter into a 

collaboration, the owner expressed his gratitude and 

left happily. 

Those who had the privilege of partnering with the 

Quillen family from Yeringham were exceptionally 

lucky as they would be rewarded with an abundance 

of wealth. 

"Mackenzie!" Beatrix greeted and approached her.
