Chapter 35
Those who laughed and enjoyed Emmanuel’s
misfortune earlier felt their cheeks heat up in
embarrassment.
None of them knew that the man who looked shabby
was, in fact, part of the Quillen family.
When did the Quillen family have a man among them?
Milani’s mind had gone blank, while Chase dared not
utter a word.
Even Claudette couldn’t hide her shock. Emmanuel has
joined the Quillen family? Does he work for them? Or
has he become a live–in son–in–law?
Despite being the center of attention, Emmanuel was
confused as he didn’t know who Beatrix was.
Adam hastily explained, “Ms. Beatrix, I am deeply sorry
for my error. I had absolutely no idea that this man
was your personal guest, nor did I know he was a
member of the esteemed Quillen family!”
“If you don’t know anything, why didn’t you check first?
Isn’t it rude to kick someone out after allowing him
entry?”
Beatrix’s retort struck Adam silent.
At first, he intended to look into the issue further, but
upon overhearing people talking, particularly Milani’s
comment, he made an impulsive decision without
conducting an investigation into Emmanuel’s identity.
This is my fault. If Ms. Beatrix tells Old Mr. Quillen about
this, I’ll get fired tonight.
“I’m really sorry, sir. The inconsiderate treatment you
received was due to my oversight. Please accept my
apology!”
With that, Adam gave a polite bow, seeking
Emmanuel’s forgiveness.
That sight caused everyone’s jaws to drop open in
disbelief.
Emmanuel is just a useless man. Who is he to get
treated this way?
Milani bit her lip, refusing to accept what happened in
front of her face.
Many shared her sentiment, too.
At first, Emmanuel was met with scornful stares, but
now, the people who had regarded him with such
contempt were casting him glances of surprise and
admiration.
Some were even sneaking out of the hall as they were
afraid Emmanuel would settle scores with them with
Beatrix’s help.
Emmanuel gazed at Beatrix in surprise, as he still had
no idea who she was.
Beatrix merely winked at him smugly.
Before Emmanuel said a word, Adam kept his head
bowed.
An air of awkward silence lingered in the air.
“It’s fine. You were just doing your job, anyway,”
Emmanuel said.
He didn’t blame Adam for treating him that way.
Nevertheless, he was a vengeful person and added,
“However, this young man named Keegan was
arrogant and insolent, so I don’t think he should stay
here lest he bullies someone else. Do you understand
what I’m saying?”
Hearing that, Keegan raised his hand tactfully and left
the scene before Adam could take action.
No matter how much pride he had, he was not foolish
enough to challenge the Quillen family while they were
hosting a celebration.
Chills ran down everyone’s spines as they started
fearing their fates.
After all, they didn’t side with Emmanuel earlier. If he
were to nitpick on them, they would all have to leave
the party.
Even so, Emmanuel wasn’t that petty. He was not that
foolish to use Beatrix’s reputation to offend the guests.
After dealing with the situation, Beatrix turned to
Claudette and Roselynn. “Ladies, I need to talk to him. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
in private. Will you please excuse us?”
Roselynn nodded eagerly. They were currently at the
Quillen family’s party, and Beatrix had just saved them
from a very awkward moment.
Despite her reluctance, Claudette was polite enough
to fake a nonchalant smile. “If he’s part of the Quillen
family, why would you need our approval to bring him
away?”
“Thanks!”
With that, Beatrix tugged the socially inept Emmanuel
away.
Emmanuel’s brows furrowed together. Who is this
young lady? Why didn’t she seek my approval before
tugging me away?
