In the blink of an eye, Susan appeared out of nowhere and tightly embraced Gautier,
bubbling with excitement.
As Emmanuel watched Gautier leave, a hint of emotion stirred within him. It reminded
him that in the business world, friendships and rivalries are never permanent.
In the depths of his mind, Emmanuel silently reasoned. Regardless of what Gautier
might be thinking, he should be leaning towards the Terence Group now. After all, with
the Quillen family falling, there is no advantage left for the Verkade family. If the Quillen
family thrives, perhaps the Verkade family can still benefit, or they may have a chance
to make a comeback!
“Hey, Emmanuel, where have you been?” As Emmanuel returned, his uncle’s family had
already arrived, and Jack Lowe was teasing him.
“Sorry, I just got caught up with something,” Emmanuel responded casually.

Emmanuel pondered silently. No matter how look at it, Jack’s family does not seem to
be the conniving type. But could they be bribed by someone to infiltrate us?
“Forget it. Let’s grab a bite to eat! I am hungry!” Jack waved his hand, ready to lead the
group straight to dinner.
Emmanuel then noticed that Jack’s wife, Alina Mcneil, and her family were also
accompanying Jack’s family to Onza.
Alina leaned into Jack, holding his arm affectionately. ‘Honey, my parents rarely visit
Onza. You must take them out for some good food!’
“Of course, your husband is loaded now! Anything less than a five-star restaurant, and
will not even feel at home!” Jack boasted in his usual laid-back manner.
Alina, always one to enjoy the spotlight, quickly turned to her family and said, “Dad,
Mom, Cherlynn, look, my husband is really great!”

The Mcneil family began praising Jack enthusiastically. “Yeah, Jack is really
up-and-coming!”
“My brother-in-law is amazing,” one person said. “He runs his own company and dines
at five-star restaurants every day. It is impressive!”
The Mcneils, rural folks who seldom ventured into big cities, hardly ever dined at
five-star restaurants. Consequently, they held great admiration for individuals like Jack.
Basking in the compliments, Jack’s ego swelled, and he confidently waved his hand.
“Let’s go. I heard there is a five-star restaurant nearby called The Shallow Waterside
Chef’s Kitchen, which is very famous in Nuthana. Today, I will take you all there to try it!”
As Jack and Alina led the way, the members of the McNeil family quickly followed
behind.
“Emmanuel, why don’t we all go together?” Alessandra suggested, feeling that since

they were relatives and had come to Onza together, splitting up for dinner would feel
awkward.

“Sure! Mom, I will give you all a ride there!” Emmanuel agreed, realizing he rarely had the
chance to take Alessandra to upscale restaurants. So, he wanted to seize this
opportunity to show his filial duty.
Tia also urged Ryder to join them in Emmanuel’s business car.
Alina’s sister, Cherlynn McNeil, turned back to Emmanuel and the others, her brows
furrowed as she asked, “Jack, are they your relatives?”
The Ryder family, as well as Emmanuel’s mother and himself, were not very partic
about their clothes. Especially Ryder and Alessandra, they looked like two old farme
appearing quite shabby!
“Hey, Cherlynn, haven’t you met them before? Jack said casually. “That’s the family of

my
older cousin and second older cousin.”
Cherlynn sneered at Emmanuel’s family. “Hmm, I have met them before, but they don’t
leave much of an impression, especially since they seem like just ordinary people. Their
car is not impressive either. If they were as successful as you, Jack, then people would
remember them!” she did not miss the opportunity to flatter Jack with a resounding
compliment.
Jack was quite pleased with Cherlynn’s flattery. “Haha, indeed! Indeed!”
Jack had always been fond of Alina, and in the past, he did not pay much attention to
Cherlynn when she was younger. But now that Cherlynn was nineteen, starting college,
and showing such affection for him, he could not help but entertain some inappe
thoughts about her.
This meal is the perfect chance to impress Cherlynn even more and maybe even make
her initiate something with me. Jack secretly feels pleased about it.

While Ryder and Alessandra could not hear their conversation, Emmanuel had keen
senses and overheard everything.
Naturally, he felt a bit displeased. Why bother stepping on and criticizing each other
when we are all family? And what is wrong with being farmers? Without farmers, where
does our food come from? Cherlynn’s disdainful attitude did not sit well with
Emmanuel.
Emmanuel had opted for the business car today since the Maserati could not
comfortably accommodate everyone, but he had not anticipated being looked down
upon by them as a result.
