Chapter 246
“Mackenzie? Mackenzie!” After searching around, Emmanuel quickly called
her number, but he didn’t expect to be blocked.
What the hell? What’s going on? He was frustrated. She’s usually
magnanimous, but why is she being so petty today? It’s not like her.
Since he couldn’t contact her, he had no choice but to wait at home.
However, she still hadn’t returned by 10.00PM.

Suddenly, he heard his phone ring and eagerly checked it. When he saw that
it was Claudette instead of Mackenzie, a hint of disappointment flashed
across his eyes.
“I’m sorry, Dr. Lowe. Did Ms. Quillen misunderstand you because of me? Is she

“You don’t have to apologize, Ms. Lenoir. I will explain everything to her.”
His response left Claudette with mixed emotions. While she did possess a
competitive spirit toward Mackenzie, she had no deliberate intentions of
deceit. It was beyond her expectations to see Mackenzie at her house today.
However, based on Mackenzie’s expression earlier that day, Claudette was
certain they both had developed feelings for the same man.
“Okay. You can always call me if you need anything,” she added.
Emmanuel forced a smile without responding. Even if he was clueless, he
could tell that Mackenzie held hostility toward Claudette. As such, if he asked
Claudette to explain, it would probably make things worse.
However, he hadn’t done anything wrong, and he was still worried about
Mackenzie’s safety. He then asked, “Ms. Lenoir, if you have Mackenzie’s
contact, please tell her to come home. She has blocked me, and I’m really
worried about her.”
“Sure!” Claudette agreed.
After hanging up the phone, she bit her lip and sent a message to Mackenzie
upon Emmanuel’s request.
Ding! Right then, Mackenzie was drinking with Beatrix in a private room at a
restaurant. Her face was already flushed from the alcohol.
When she saw the message from Claúdette, she smirked coldly. “Are you
here to show off? You can take that sc*mbag with you.”
She was truly disappointed; she had confidence in Emmanuel and herself,
which was why she allowed him to go on an outdoor activity with Claudette.
Yet, she never expected that her man would spend a night in the wilderness
with another woman and even carry her home. Is it that difficult for them to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmseparate from each other?
“Sc*mbag! He must have gone after Claudette for her looks and money. Go
ahead and con her, then! There’s no way you can con me!”
Hearing Mackenzie talk to herself, Beatrix was also taken aback, for she had
never seen Mackenzie like this before in their 20 years together. It seems that
she has truly been hurt.
“Perhaps things aren’t as you think they are, Mackenzie. Why don’t you go
home and let Manuel explain?” Although she didn’t have much faith in
Emmanuel’s ability to have a lasting relationship with Mackenzie, at this
moment, she couldn’t remain indifferent and didn’t want to see Mackenzie
upset.
“I don’t want him anymore. Let’s drink!”
Mackenzie wanted to continue drinking, but Lexi arrived at that moment.
“You came just in time, Lexi. I can’t handle her anymore. Quick, have someone
take her home.”
“Okay.” Lexi agreed and forcefully held onto the tipsy Mackenzie as they left
the restaurant.
