Chapter 78
Emmanuel could not help but sigh when he saw Ryder being like this. “How
about you call the creditor? I’ll talk to him.”
After all, they were family. Ryder was six years older than him. Ryder had
taken care of him when they were younger and had even given him
pocket money.
All of that was still fresh in Emmanuel’s mind.
Emmanuel knew that Ryder would never ask him for help if he was not left
without a choice.
“All right! I’ll make the call now.”
Ryder quickly found the number and dialed it.
To Emmanuel’s surprise, the other party was extremely arrogant. He
refused to give an extension no matter how much Emmanuel tried to
convince him.
“You brat! Do you know who I am? My dad is the CEO of Yanberg Group!”
Emmanuel was familiar with it since he lived in Yeringham. Yanberg GroupContent is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
was a small, local business with some prestige in Yeringham.
However, it was a far cry from a leading enterprise like Terence Group.
“Hey! You still have to be reasonable no matter who your dad is!”
Emmanuel was not one to be easily intimidated, and he asserted, “We’ll
find a way to pay back the money Abellyn owes you, but poker debt is not
protected by the law. You won’t get out unscathed if you insist on using
violence.”
The other party was infuriated by his words. He yelled, “You want to talk
about the law, huh? I’ll show you what it means to be unruly.”
Immediately, the other party hung up the phone.
Ryder panicked even more. “Manny, you can’t talk to them in that manner.
Shawn is influential in Yeringham and has connections with the officials
and underground circles. We won’t be able to handle it if he decides to
deal with us.”
Emmanuel handed his phone back and patted his shoulder. “Let’s take it
one step at a time. I will do everything I can to help you.”
“Manny, what’s taking you so long to put some items?” Alessandra’s voice
came from the outside.
I can’t believe Manny! Why isn’t he staying by his wife’s side when he
brought her home for the first time?
Alessandra thought Emmanuel’s wife was shy, as she did not speak to
anyone else.
“I’m coming!” Emmanuel hurried to the living room.
He saw Mackenzie sitting on a single-seater couch in the living room. She
was exuding an extremely frosty aura that prevented anyone from
approaching her.
The members of the Lowe family felt that she was not easy to get along
with, and no one dared to approach her for small talk.
Only Jack still refused to give up. He tried to sneak up on her and strike up
a conversation.
Mackenzie had misandry. She felt even more irritated and disgusted with
married men like Jack who tried to approach her.
Mackenzie would have made him pay if it were not for the fact she was at
her in-laws’ house that day: She merely ignored him and quietly moved to
a bigger couch.
Jack’s eyes lit up, and he wanted to take this chance to sit next to her.
However, Emmanuel went ahead and sat next to Mackenzie. He said with
a smile, “Jack, I heard you and your wife are planning for a second child.”
Given that they were cousins, Emmanuel was undoubtedly familiar with
his personality.
Jack had begun gallivanting in his teenage years and played around
without committing to anyone. He only married his wife because she was
pregnant.
Besides, Jack’s wife married him when she was barely twenty.
It would be weird for him not to like a stunning woman like Mackenzie
when even Emmanuel’s heart had raced wildly when they first met.
“Emmanuel, why are you suddenly bringing this up?” Jack was obviously
upset, and he went to sit on the single-seater couch.
At least that pretty lady just sat here. It must still have her fragrance.
However, Ryder’s son, Tommy, skipped happily and sat on it first.
“What are you doing? Why are you interrupting when adults are talking?
Get lost!” Jack shouted. His tone scared Tommy, and Tommy quickly
leaped up from the couch.
Tommy was barely six years old, and he started crying after being yelled
Tommy instinctively ran toward Emmanuel and Mackenzie since his
parents were not in the living room..
“Come here. Sit next to me.”
