Chapter-34

Chase stood silently, his expression betraying a hint of 

smugness as he watched Emmanuel being encircled 

by a group of bodyguards. 

Milani was inwardly delighted. Emmanuel, this should 

show you your place. Who are you to even think that 

you want to marry me? We're from two different 

worlds. 

Keegan puffed his chest up, sending a clear message 

to all present that anyone who attempted to snatch 

his significant other away from him would result in dire 

consequences. 

To their surprise, Emmanuel remained calm and 

unfazed. 

He had no interest in status and prestige at all, so he 

didn't find this situation humiliating. Confident in the 

knowledge that he had done nothing wrong, he was 

not concerned with the potential of being falsely 

accused. 

However, many people assumed he was scared 

senseless as he said nothing. 

The bodyguards were about to take action when an 

icy voice resonated around the hall. "Wait! Who in the 

world would dare to kick him out?" 

Those present were ultra–wealthy, but they still felt 

chills running down their spines upon hearing the 

piercingly cold voice. 

Not long ago, Adam was exhibiting a haughty attitude 

as he attempted to take control of the mayhem that 

had broken out at the party. However, he now seemed 

to resemble a child who had been chastised by an 

adult. 

Adam nervously glanced in the direction of the voice 

and saw Beatrix Quillen making her way to the area. 

His heart sank as he shivered in trepidation. 

Everyone also turned to look at the young heiress. 

Beatrix Quillen, who was only twenty years old, made a 

grand entrance accompanied by an entourage that 

lent her a certain degree of intimidation. 

Tonight, she was dressed to the nines, looking 

absolutely ravishing. She had a few bodyguards by her 

side, magnifying her entrance and allowing her to 

outshine the other affluent people in the hall. 

Wherever she went, people would make way for her as 

though she was royalty. 

"Who is she? Her entrance was so grand!" Milani 

muttered curiously. 

The manager from Cloud Construction gasped, 

covering her mouth with her hand as she chastised, 

"Stop acting like a fool! That's Ms. Beatrix, from the 

Quillen family. They're the wealthiest family in all of 

Yeringham, and this gathering is to mark the occasion 

of her aunt's promotion to the deputy mayor of the 

city!" 

"What? Ms. Beatrix of the Quillen family?" Milani's face 

paled visibly. 

She was an ordinary woman who had just been 

promoted to a senior executive role at Cloud 

Construction's project. Despite her newfound success, 

she was vain, just like any other woman, so she had 

heard a lot about the Quillen family. 

I heard that the Quillen family is worth billions. Ms. 

Beatrix might not be a real princess, but she is more 

influential than royalty in Yeringham! Why is she here? 

"M–Ms. Beatrix!" Adam greeted hastily as dread filled 

his heart. 

He regretted his hasty judgment. If Ms. Beatrix had 

indeed invited this man to the party, I'll be doomed! 

However, his years of experience on the job were 

enough for him to regain his composure quickly. He 

then offered a flattering smile. "Ms. Beatrix, what brings 

you here? Can I help you with anything?" 

"Help me? You're trying to kick someone from the 

Quillen family out of the hall. Are you sure you're 

helping me?" 

Emmanuel is Mackenzie's husband. How dare these 

people kick him out of the Quillen family's party? They 

must have a death wish! 

Beatrix's frosty words caused everyone to gasp in 

disbelief. 

Someone from the Quillen family? Did Ms. Beatrix just 

say that this man is part of the Quillen family? 

Roselynn's eyes widened in amazement as a thought 

crossed her mind. Could it be possible that 

Emmanuel's wife is a Quillen, the wealthiest family? 

Adam's face turned as pale as a sheet.
