Love At The Wrong Table

The corporate world was ever–changing. The rise and

fall of families happened in the blink of an eye, so it ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

was impossible for any family to remain one of the four

prominent families forever.

Therefore, the four prominent families of Yeringham

were nothing but a term for the convenience of the

gossipmongers. They were only meant to describe the

four wealthiest families of the current time.

“Do you know which four families they are? I heard that

the outstanding young heirs and heiresses of those

families will be joining the banquet this time.”

Roselynn was thirty years old, and she was a beautiful

and mature woman. Yet, she was fawning over men

like she was an eighteen–year–old girl.

“Um, I only know about the Quillen family,” Emmanuel

replied honestly.

He was only a gynecologist who had just retired from

the army. How could he possibly know everything

about the corporate world?

He only knew about the Quillen family because that

family had remained the wealthiest family in

Yeringham for ten years.

“You dummy! The rest of the four prominent families

are the Verkade family, the Zelinsky family, and the

Lenoir family!”

Roselynn poked Emmanuel’s head. “Remember this: My

employer is the daughter of the Lenoir family, and

she’s the one who gave me the invitation.”

“Oh, I

See.”

Emmanuel nodded. He had seen his sister’s supposed

employer by chance before.

She was a woman in her early twenties named

Claudette Lenoir. Although she came from a

prestigious family, she had chosen to work her way up

from the bottom of the ladder after her graduation.

However, the position she was in was not her actual

position. She was only starting from the basics to

familiarize herself with the company. Everyone in the

office knew that she was the heiress of the company.

Back then, she had some gynecological problems

which she had trouble seeking doctors for, so Roselynn

recommended she visit Emmanuel.

Emmanuel did not know why she had actually gone to

him instead, but regardless of everything, he cured her.

Back then, Emmanuel had expressionlessly asked her

to take off her pants. Claudette had been

embarrassed, but Emmanuel was unfazed. In fact, he

could barely remember her because he had seen too

many women’s bodies.

“Is that your only response? At least pretend to be

jealous!” Roselynn grumbled, displeased with her

brother’s reaction.

Her employer was young and rich, and that was something many people strived for and dreamed of.

Still hearing nothing from Emmanuel, Roselynn shot him a glare before crying out, “Oh, your wife is called Mackenzie Quillen, right? Could it be that she’s the

daughter of the Quillen family?”

How could people of their status know many details

about the wealthiest families?

They could only make guesses.

Emmanuel shook his head in amusement right away,

however. “How could that be? She’s worlds apart from

them.”

The Quillen family was the richest family in Yeringham.

If Mackenzie was the daughter of the Quillen family,

she would have a net worth of more than tens of

billions. How could she possibly be living in a house of

two hundred square meters?

Even though it was still a big house, it was nowhere

near as luxurious as the houses that the tycoons lived

1. in.

“But I hear that the daughter of the Quillen family is

also twenty–seven years old. Apparently, she doesn’t

like men; she likes women…” Roselynn trailed off, finally

registering what she was talking about.

How could her sister–in–law be a lesbian if she had

married her brother?

Furthermore, Emmanuel told her that he had been

previously dating his wife for many years. If the

daughter of the Quillen family had been dating a man

for so many years, the media would have caught wind

of it a long time ago, and there wouldn’t be any rumors

about her sexuality.

Emmanuel was amused at how easily his sister was

persuaded. He did not even need to explain anything

else to her.

Even though Terence Group was the Quillen family’s

business, he was certain that it was nothing but a

coincidence that his wife had the family name of

Quillen. After all, even Daniel Quillen, the “prime

architect” of higher algebraic K–theory, also had the

family name of Quillen. It was not as if all Quillens were

mathematicians.

That was simply impossible.

However, what he did not know was that Mackenzie

was currently in a Bentley, heading toward the location

of the banquet–Regal Hotel.

The truth was that the banquet that night was a

celebratory dinner for her aunt’s promotion to

Yeringham’s deputy mayor.

Besides Terence, there were no other men in the

Quillen family. However, all of the women in the Quillen

family were capable individuals who were either the

top dog in the corporate world or influential figures in

the political world.

Mackenzie did not like being in crowded places, and

she rarely attended social events like these. However,

the Quillen women were always supportive of each

other. For the sake of her aunt, she had to be there.
