“Um, no.” Emmanuel shook his head but took the opportunity to discuss the topic with

Mackenzie. “The marital house is ready, but both Roselynn and I don’t want Ryder to

marry Ruby.”

“Me neither,” Mackenzie uttered, truly surprising Emmanuel.

In his mind, Mackenzie was like a goddess who didn’t care about earthly matters. The fact

that she cared about his cousin’s relationship and marriage was simply inconceivable.

If others in Yeringham knew, their jaws would surely drop. Is this still the aloof CEO they

know?!

Unaware of what Emmanuel was thinking, Mackenzie continued, “I guess their marriage

won’t work out either.”

“Why?” Emmanuel asked with interest while starting the car to head home.

“Ruby is just in it for the money and the house. Whether she gets what she wants or not,

she will eventually leave your cousin. This is Motive Determines Outcome theory!”

Mackenzie’s analysis was very business-like, showing a broad perspective and foresight.

This marriage was Ryder’s choice, supported by Alessandra, to find a stepmother for

Tommy. However, Ruby’s motive was to deceive for money. Their motives and goals were

completely different, destined to diverge sooner or

later, not to mention the external obstacles posed by Emmanuel and his sister.

“Why would you still fund Ryder with the money to buy a house then?” Emmanuel fully

agreed with Mackenzie’s words, but he was a bit puzzled by her actions.

“Because he’s your family, and I want to improve Ryder and Tommy’s living standards.

Also, I believe you all can definitely find a way to prevent him from marrying Ruby,”

Mackenzie said confidently.

As a CEO, she had to have the ability to read people. Both Emmanuel and Roselynn were

much smarter than their cousin, knowing better what was good for him and having the

capability to change specific outcomes. As for what they would do, Mackenzie didn’t

concern herself with it.

Emmanuel smiled slightly, appreciating Mackenzie’s intelligence. She truly lived up to her

job as a CEO.

“By the way, Mackenzie, I have to go out tonight. Sage contacted me to discuss some case

details,” he requested her approval.

“You seem to be close with Sage.” Mackenzie immediately focused her gaze on

Emmanuel.

“Well…” Emmanuel chuckled. “I suppose. We used to be soldiers in the Northern Region,

although there’s a bit of a

rank difference between us.”

He didn’t lie to Mackenzie; his rank was indeed much higher than Sage’s. However,

Mackenzie might interpret it as Sage being significantly higher than him.

“Come home early, and remember not to drink and drive!” Mackenzie reminded, turning

her face away. Even her

*Come home early, and remember not to drink and drive!” Mackenzie reminded, turning

her face away. Even her concern carried an icy touch.

“Will do!” Emmanuel nodded.

After dropping Mackenzie home, Emmanuel headed straight to The Beacon Book, a large

and quiet bar. While initially designed for leisure and relaxation with tranquil music, its

spacious and beautiful environment attracted many couples, gradually transforming its

atmosphere into a romantic theme. Nevertheless, it remained a good place for

discussions, as it wasn’t as noisy as nightclubs and offered a variety of drinks and meal

combos.

When Emmanuel arrived, Sage and Ashton were already there. Sage waved

enthusiastically, inviting Emmanuel to join them. However, Ashton’s expression turned

sour upon seeing Emmanuel, radiating displeasure.

Emmanuel had previously angered her several times, and she already disliked him. Now,

with his sister causing her brother heartbreak and distress, indulging in consecutive nights

of heavy drinking, it only fueled her irritation. She wondered if she and her brother owed

the Lowe siblings in their past lives.

Emmanuel sensed that something was off with Ashton’s gaze but still approached the two.

Unexpectedly, before he could even sit down, Sage received a phone call and stood up

with a gradually troubled expression. After hanging up, Sage apologetically said, “I’m

sorry, Emmanuel. I know we’re supposed to discuss the case thoroughly tonight, but I just

received an urgent call from the mayor of Yeringham. He wants me to go

over.”

“That’s fine.” Emmanuel didn’t want to delay Sage’s official business. If the mayor was

calling him at night, it surely

wasn’t a trivial matter.

“Alright, Ashton, you and Emmanuel discuss the cases thoroughly!”

After instructing Ashton, Sage took a few steps and turned back to remind her, “Watch

your attitude. Don’t be too

confrontational!”
