Chapter 496

“Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of

courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t speculate about what the security guard

was thinking.

Sarah explained with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on

the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any

updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it.

That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both

you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!”

Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly

reject this sister–in–law’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and

Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found

anything wrong with her so far. He thought she was quite nice and thus saw

no reason to keep her at arm’s length.

Soon after that, the three of them arrived upstairs, and the expert started to

help with the fountain.

Emmanuel was discussing the construction plan with the expert when Sarah

suddenly came to his side. She asked in surprise, “Manuel, what’s wrong with

your face? It seems somewhat swollen.” She gently pressed the lower side of

his chin.

Emmanuel quickly stepped back in pain. These were the injuries he had

suffered while getting into a fight in the Lenoir residence today, but he didn’t

tell Sarah about it.

Sarah was smarter than he imagined, though. Noticing the dirt on his shirt,

she anxiously asked, “Manuel, don’t tell me you got into a fight with

somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if she comes back and sees

you like this!”

Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were

nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had

previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she

catches me fighting again, she’ll certainly give me another talking–to!

Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let

me help put medicine on you. Mackenzie probably has a meeting, so she

won’t be back early this evening, right?”

“I do have a first aid kit at home, but it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.” Emmanuel

turned down her kind offer. After fetching the first aid kit, he brought it back to

his room and took off his clothes to put on medicine by himself.

Unexpectedly, however, Sarah pushed the door open and entered

nonetheless. Seeing him covered in bruises, she exclaimed in shock, “Oh, my

God! Manuel, who did this to you?”

“It’s okay. Nothing serious, actually,” replied Emmanuel, trying to play it down.

Sarah sat down beside him and picked up the ointment with her fair hand.

“You can’t apply medicine to the bruises on your back, can you? Let me help

you!” As soon as she said that, she started doing it.

Unable to refuse her, Emmanuel had no choice but to reply, “Thank you!”

At the same time, a Bentley entered the neighborhood.

Having long named Mackenzie the prettiest woman in the neighborhood, the

security guards of Yociam Residence would always try to strike up

conversations with her on all kinds of topics. While the gate opened, he asked

with a smile, “Ms. Quillen, why isn’t Mr. Lowe bringing you home today?”

Mackenzie had no intention of answering. Much to her dismay, though, the

other security guard chimed in immediately, “Hey, are you stupid? Ms.

Quillen’s sister is here to pay a visit, isn’t she? Mr. Lowe has to play host to his

sister–in–law, of course!”

Mackenzie’s attractive eyes darkened at once. She ordered Wally, “Drop me

off right downstairs!”

“Yes, Ms. Mackenzie!” Wally also sensed an undercurrent of rage emanating

from her. He was well aware of the relationships between the three Quillen

sisters. Could it be Miss Sarah who’s visiting today?

As soon as the Bentley came to a stop, Mackenzie hurried upstairs with a

chilly expression on her pretty face. She couldn’t help feeling that Sarah was

approaching Emmanuel on purpose. Just what the hell is that woman up to?

This sister of mine has always liked to steal things from me, but she basically

never beat me on this. Don’t tell me she thinks she can steal my husband?

How laughable! She soon opened the door and darted her eyes around the

house. Seeing no signs of Emmanuel or Sarah, she stormed toward his room

in a threatening manner.

Seeing such a frosty beauty, the expert working on the balcony was actually

scared into silence for a moment!

What a frosty woman! But she’s so gorgeous! thought the expert.

Mackenzie never paid attention to this bystander, though. After pushing the

door open, she was stunned right away, and her beautiful eyes blazed with

fury. Emmanuel was stripped to the waist in his room, while Sarah was

standing behind him, her fair hands fondling his back muscles continuously.

This is simply abominable! I’ve never been so intimate with this guy as his

wife! What gave this woman the nerve to do this?!

from

Emmanuel and Sarah promptly turned their heads toward the sudden sound.

“Mackenzie? You’re back so early today!” Emmanuel had surprise written all

over his face. Mackenzie had told him that he didn’t have to pick her up

work today. This led him to think that she was going to work late into the night

again, so he never thought she would return home as early as 6.00PM.

“Mackenzie!” Sarah also greeted her sister calmly. Not only did she show no

signs of feeling guilty, she even had a faint smile on her face.

“What are you doing?!” questioned Mackenzie icily.

Emmanuel hurriedly put on his shirt and walked over to her. “I’m hurt, so Sarah

was putting medicine on me!” he explained. Seeing the chilly expression on

Mackenzie’s face, he also feared that this icy wife of his would go ballistic.

However, Mackenzie wasn’t an ordinary woman. It was true that she was

fuming in her heart, but instead of flying into a rage, she immediately cared

about Emmanuel, asking, “How did you hurt yourself again?”

“I-” Emmanuel was just about to explain himself.

“Never mind, I’ll put medicine on you later.” Mackenzie’continued to be gentle,

with her husband. After that, however, she turned to stare coldly at Sarah.

“What are you doing in my house?”

“Mackenzie, I brought an expert here to help you two design the indoor

fountain!” explained Sarah frankly.

Mackenzie didn’t lose her temper, but she looked as icy as an ice sculpture

that could freeze people at any time. “It’s not necessary. You and your friend

may leave now!”

Sarah threw a glance at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel thought it was rather unkind to chase Sarah away like this. After

all, this sister–in–law was here to help, and she had done nothing wrong. That

being said, he mustn’t take the wrong stance. So, he said apologetically,

“Sarah, thank you for your kindness. Why don’t you leave with your friend for

now?”

Sarah nodded while looking slightly displeased. Nevertheless, she replied with

a smile, “Okay, I won’t be keeping you and Mackenzie from spending time

together, then!” However, instead of leaving right after saying so, she handed

the ointment in her hand to Mackenzie. She instructed, “Manuel’s back is quite

badly bruised, and he can’t reach it. Mackenzie, you’ve got to help him rub

the bruise with the ointment, or he might have trouble sleeping tonight.”

Mackenzie let out a snort without taking the ointment from her.

As a result, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Emmanuel hurriedly came over and took the ointment. He said with a wry

smile, “I’ll do it myself. Sarah, why don’t you go back now?”

“Alright, Manuel. Take care of yourself, then. I gotta go!” Sarah showed no

signs of anger. She left nonetheless, taking her expert friend with her.

Mackenzie fixed Emmanuel with a glacial stare as though he had cheated on

her.

Emmanuel felt both depressed and innocent. It scares me when I see such a

look in her eyes!

Luckily, Mackenzie didn’t quarrel with him over this. She instructed coldly,

“From now on, don’t let Sarah into our house without my permission. Do you

understand?”

“Yeah, I understand.” Emmanuel couldn’t help but get curious. “But why? She’s

also your younger sister. Why do you and Ms. Beatrix loathe her so much? You

two seem very prejudiced against her!”
