Chapter-81

Everything was so casual here that Felicity inevitably felt irritated. 

Nevertheless, she was not like the typical mothers-in-law who would 

underestimate their sons-in-law in the novels. While she did not think 

highly of Emmanuel, she would not say it aloud or make it obvious. 

On the contrary, Mackenzie enjoyed the customs of the Lowe family. If she 

was asked to kneel and serve Alessandra, she would absolutely refuse to 

do so. 

Discreetly, she studied her mother, yet she could not read the latter's 

expression. 

While the atmosphere was lively in the house, a commotion also occurred 

outside. 

Since Ryder had no interest in socializing with his cousin's family, he 

stayed near the main gate. Right at this moment, Shawn made an 

appearance with his men. 

Without beating around the bush, Shawn questioned, "Ryder, is your wife 

going to pay up today?" 

"We will! We'll definitely pay you back! But today is my cousin's happy day. 

Could you show us some mercy and give us a few more days?" Ryder 

begged while clasping his hands together. 

With a sinister laugh, Shawn replied, "Sure! Just let me sleep with your wife 

for a few nights." 

"N-No! I can't let that happen!" 

"No? If she doesn't pay up, I can just make her a hostess in a bathhouse. 

What do you think your wife was before? Some virtuous woman?" taunted 

Shawn as he smiled coldly. 

His words pierced right through Ryder's heart. 

Truthfully, he knew what his wife did before marriage, but that did not 

matter. As long as she did not get intimate with other men after marriage, 

he was willing to endure any hardships and work tirelessly to support his 

family. 

Not,daring to refute Shawn, Ryder immediately went on his knees. "Please, 

I'm begging you. Give us a few more days!" 

"Scram!" 

Shawn kicked him away and led his men to barge into Emmanuel's house. 

Hearing the commotion, Roselynn opened the door. The Lowe residence 

was a self-built house in which the front yard could be seen from the 

living room. 

"What's wrong? What's happening?" 

"Get lost. Our business is with Abellyn." 

Disregarding Roselynn, Shawn invited himself and his men in. 

While passing the front yard, they kicked and knocked things over to 

display their aggressiveness and fearlessness, infuriating Roselynn. 

What did Abellyn do to offend such people? 

Abellyn was already aware that they would search for her here, so she 

had been hiding in the room, not daring to get out at all. 

Even so, hiding in the room was no solution since she knew how 

unreasonable Shawn could be. He would find a way in sooner or later. 

"Why are you guys looking for my mom?" Tommy shouted. 

"Hehe, we're looking for your mom because-" 

The vulgar words he was about to say got stuck midway through his 

sentence as he noticed Mackenzie. 

As they were from the lower class, the Lowe family might not know who 

Mackenzie was, but as the son of an influential businessman, how could 

Shawn not recognize her? 

Thinking they were playing tricks on him, Shawn rubbed his eyes. He 

refused to believe that the mighty Mackenzie of the Quillen family would 

be in such a run-down place. 

However, even after he rubbed his eyes, she was still there. 

Regardless of the relationship the Lowe family had with Mackenzie, he 

knew he could not afford to cross such a formidable figure. He reacted 

quickly by saying, "I'm sorry! I came to the wrong house!" 

With that, he hurriedly turned around and left.
