Chapter 82
“Stop right there!”
The voice of an older man rang out from behind Shawn.
Shawn felt shivers down his spine as he recognized the voice instantly.
What the heck is going on? Not only is Ms. Mackenzie from the Quillen
family here, but the wealthiest man in Yeringham is here too!
Terence asserted his dominance with a simple command. Shawn
stumbled as he turned around to greet the older man. “Old Mr. Quillen!”
The Lowes were confused when they noticed the change in Shawn’s
attitude. It looks like Old Mr. Quillen holds quite a high position in society.
Fortunately for the Lowe family, they did not know who Shawn was.
Otherwise, they would be even more shocked.
“Oh? You know who I am?”
With one look, Terence could tell Shawn did not accidentally stumble into
the wrong place. He could tell that Shawn and his subordinates were there
to look for trouble, so he wanted to help alleviate the situation.
“Everyone in Yeringham knows who you are…” Shawn’s voice trembled as
he spoke.
In order to play along with his granddaughter’s act of pretending to be
poor, Terence did not expose his identity. He casually said, “Stop trying to
flatter me. Get to the point. What are you doing here?”
“N-Nothing! Ryder and I are good friends! I came in to say hello since I was
passing by!”
Shawn did not dare to say that he was there to collect a debt.
It would only end badly if he offended the wealthiest family in Yeringham
just for eighty thousand.
“I see. Why did you say you went to the wrong house, then?”
A cold glint flashed across Mackenzie’s eyes.
Shawn was trembling non-stop. He was tongue-tied, not knowing what to
reply.
“Since you have no business here, you should leave.”
Alessandra felt annoyed that Shawn had brought so many people to their
home. It was their family’s big day that day, and she did not wish for
others to interrupt the happy event.
Shawn felt relieved when he heard what Alessandra said. What a kind soul
this woman is. He quickly nodded in response and led his subordinates
away.
“Mr. Zeller!”
Ryder had just entered from outside, so he was clueless about what had
happened. He was worried that Shawn would take his wife away, but he
did not expect to see the latter leave so soon.
“Don’t call me!”
Shawn did not want to stay there for a second longer.
“What about the money…”
Ryder was an honest man. He was still thinking about the debt, but Shawn
ignored him and scurried away.
“That’s weird! What’s going on?”
Ryder scratched his head in confusion.
Emmanuel was in the kitchen cooking, so he did not get to check out the
commotion in the living room. When he was done and left the kitchen, he
saw Benny and Jack trying their best to please Terence.
Their family was the only branch of the Lowe family involved in the
business world. They knew how to read the room and adapt to their
surroundings. Even if they did not realize that Terence was from the most
prominent family in Yeringham, they could tell he was rich and influential. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
If they could butter up and please Terence and his family, their businesses
would surely blossom.
For Emmanuel’s sake, Terence made small talk with Benny and Jack.
Mackenzie ignored everyone. She chose not to listen to what Benny and
Jack were talking about, much less shake hands with them.
Felicity knew her daughter well and trusted that she had a good eye for
reading people. Those who Mackenzie looked down on were definitely not
good men.
She took out her phone and began swiping through her social media, not
bothering to socialize with Benny or Jack.
Anger flashed across Benny’s and Jack’s eyes when they noticed
Mackenzie’s and Felicity’s arrogance. However, neither of them dared to
speak up about it.
“It’s time for lunch!” Emmanuel yelled. After all, Benny and his family were
still his relatives. He could not bear to watch them get angry with
Mackenzie.
Emmanuel knew Mackenzie well. If she wanted to ignore someone, it
would be useless for that person to cry and beg for her attention.
Soon, everyone was gathered around two large dining tables for lunch.
