SWNOVELS Chapter 91
Chapter 91
The force of the collision caused the Mercedes-Benz to be pushed aside.
Hearing the loud sound, the security guards in the residential area felt a
chill go down their spines.
What a spectacle! Rich people certainly know how to have fun, don’t they?
Just look at how that Bentley collided with the Mercedes-Benz without a
second thought. The repair costs alone could amount to half of our
lifetime salary!
“Mackenzie? Mackenzie!” Hubert wanted to go after her, but the security
guard stopped him from entering.
“Mackenzie, I love you! I will make you fall in love with me and marry you
one day!” he announced.
The more rudely Mackenzie treated him, the more he saw it as a
challenge, fueling his determination to win her over.
Mackenzie remained unfazed in her Bentley, but her driver was amused.
I can’t believe a rich heir is fawning over Ms. Quillen. He has no idea she’s
already married!
After getting out of the car, Mackenzie took the elevator upstairs alone.
“Ms. Quillen, you’re back!” Emmanuel greeted her when he saw her
coming home.
To his surprise, Mackenzie merely scoffed in response.
Did I offend her again? I don’t remember anything, though.

Soon, Mackenzie took a shower and returned to her room, locking it behind
her as usual.
It was still early, and Emmanuel didn’t know if she already had dinner.
However, he dared not pose that question to her as she seemed to be
mad at him.
Right then, Emmanuel received a call from Ryder, who informed him that
he was waiting downstairs at Yociam Residence and wanted to have a
conversation.
Emmanuel quickly went downstairs. “Ryder, what happened? Why are you
here late at night? Did Shawn ask you for money again?”

Ryder shook his head, a grin spreading across his face. “No, that’s not it. It
was strange how he barged into your house and suddenly said that he
had gone to the wrong house before fleeing the scene. He stopped asking
me to repay the debt ever since.”
That struck Emmanuel as strange, too. As a doctor, he didn’t believe in
humans getting possessed, but that seemed to be the only plausible
explanation for Shawn’s strange behavior.
“Manny, I brought some peaches for you today. Here you go. Share them
with your wife!”
Ryder hauled a box of peaches off his electric bike and handed it to
Emmanuel.
“Ryder, did you come all the way here to deliver the peaches to me?”
Emmanuel was touched by his gesture, but he wasn’t at all surprised by
his generosity.
Ryder had always been this way. In the past, he would often drop by
Emmanuel’s place to bring them gifts or simply spend time together.
Ryder valued family relationships greatly, treating Emmanuel and
Roselynn as his own siblings.
“I didn’t make the trip here on purpose. I’m currently working at a
plantation base as a fruit distributor. I happened to pass by here on my
way home and thought I’d drop by!” Ryder explained as he hopped onto
his electric bike.
Emmanuel wanted to invite him upstairs but knew Mackenzie wouldn’t like
that. Feeling guilty, he waved goodbye to Ryder.
“By the way, Ryder, I remember that Tommy lacks nutrients, right? I’ll give
you some money to buy him some supplements,” Emmanuel offered
generously.
Emmanuel knew Ryder wouldn’t accept payment for the fruits, so he had
to figure out another way to give Ryder money.
Ryder gave a dismissive wave. “I don’t need your money. I can work and
earn enough to buy things for him myself. If you have money, spend it on your wife. Buy her something
she likes, like jewelry or makeup.”

He specifically said that as he knew a little about Emmanuel’s situation.
Emmanuel felt bad when he saw Ryder speeding away on his old electric
bike.
He didn’t know what others thought, but to him, the more impoverished
people were, the more they cherished their families. Conversely, the
wealthier one became, the more guarded and cautious they tended to
1.
Uncle Benny might be rich, but he never lends any money to us. Mackenzie
is also wary of me.
Feeling heavy-hearted, Emmanuel headed upstairs with the box of fruits.
He wanted to share them with Mackenzie as he knew they were delicious.
To his astonishment, he found himself locked out without the keys, which
he had left upstairs hastily.
