“What?!” The news stupefied Terence, leaving him reeling in incredulity. A

strait–laced man like Lowe would betray his wife? Does he even have that

potential?

Mackenzie walked away, but Terence pulled her back again. “Mackenzie, your

father left us young while your mother hardly taught you anything. Now, as

your grandfather, I should impart you with some knowledge.”

Mackenzie didn’t say anything, but it was obvious she was becoming

impatient. She believed she knew everything, especially about the business

named Emmanuel Lowe.

“Mackenzie,” Terence sighed. “I don’t know what misunderstandings you have

with Emmanuel, but don’t act rashly. You mustn’t end this marriage, or you’ll

regret it for the rest of your life.”

At that, Mackenzie snorted and turned her head away, muttering, “As if!”

She, the dignified daughter of the Quillen family, never learned to regret, let

alone to regret over a man. What a joke!

“Do you not realize you have fallen in love with Emmanuel?” Terence knocked

his walking stick against the ground in frustration. “Love isn’t a business,

Mackenzie. You can find other ways to make money if you lose a deal, but

once you lose your love, you may never recover it again.”

He was worried Emmanuel would marry Claudette if Mackenzie really

divorced him.

Alas, Mackenzie was an obstinate one. “I don’t like him at all! You were the

one who made me marry him!”

Furious, Terence roared, “You’re my most promising granddaughter. Do you

think I know nothing about you? You start acting differently when something

catches your fancy! You don’t want to admit it, am I right? Very well, go

ahead and divorce him! Don’t come begging me to help you win Emmanuel

back!”

To that, Mackenzie said nothing but returned to her room.

Having stayed at Yociam Residence for so long, she couldn’t help missing

many things from home.

Terence could only sigh helplessly at his obstinate granddaughter.

Mackenzie had always been exceptionally bright and quick to grasp

academic knowledge and draw connections, but matters of the heart always

required personal experiences for enlightenment.

Mackenzie’s father suffered severe depression after losing his beloved and

being forced to marry someone he didn’t love due to a family alliance,

leaving the world with a lifetime of regrets.

Not wanting his dear granddaughter to follow in her father’s footsteps,

Terence made every effort to find her a good man.

Now that she had finally fallen in love with this man, he couldn’t possibly let

her divorce her husband in a fit of pique.

“No, I have to find Emmanuel and give that rascal a piece of my mind!”

Terence knew he had to talk to Emmanuel at once to stop his

granddaughter’s hard–found marriage from ending so soon.

Meanwhile, after Mackenzie left, Emmanuel didn’t stay with Claudette even

though she asked him to and left Flower Mountain alone to return to the city.

Just as he was contemplating whether to return to Yociam Residence or go

straight home, he received a call from his mother.

He felt troubled and was unsure of how to talk to her, for he assumed.

Alessandra had learned about his issue with Mackenzie. Unexpectedly, she

exclaimed urgently as soon as the call went through, “Manny, come to the

hospital quickly! Ryder’s in danger!”

“What do you mean?” Emmanuel’s heart skipped a beat. Abellyn didn’t stab

Ryder again, did she?

“Abellyn’s lover rammed Ryder over with his car three days ago, but no one

informed us until today!” Alessandra said anxiously.

“Mom, calm down. How is Ryder doing now?”

Emmanuel knew his mother had always treated Ryder like her own, so he

knew she must feel devastated to learn such news. Also, he was worried she

would do something foolish out of anxiety when he and his siblings weren’t

by her side right then.

“Ryder… He… He can’t wake up anymore!”

“What do you mean ‘can’t wake up anymore‘?” Emmanuel’s heart twinged

painfully, terribly spooked by the news. Had Ryder been killed in the accident?
