Chapter 16

On that night, Emmanuel arrived at the nightclub

named The Paradise.

Beneath his clothes were all bandages!

Standing alone by the door, he puffed at a cigarette in

annoyance.

His mood plummeted when he received a call three

minutes ago, and Roselynn’s voice was still echoing in

his ear. “Manny, Mom was admitted to the hospital

again. She has nephritis! She was asking for you,

wondering when your wife will come and visit. She

thought your wife should have come to see her

already since you two are married.”

Roselynn’s words rendered Emmanuel speechless, and

her remarks still echoed in his ears.

Their father passed away at a young age, and their

mother had to raise him and his sister singlehandedly.

She worked too hard when she was young, and her

unhealthy diet caused her to develop kidney stones.

Some ten years ago, she had to have one of her

kidneys removed, and her only kidney was inflamed.

Emmanuel did not know how long his mother’s body

could hold up.

Her only wish now was to meet her daughter–in–law.

Even seeing her grandchild being born would be a

luxury!

Emmanuel knew he had repeatedly disappointed his

mother, but this time, he was determined to bring

Mackenzie home to fulfill his mother’s wish!

Meanwhile, Mackenzie was in a daze. She might be

staring at the screen, but she was, in fact, zoning out.

She had never been so worried for someone in her life

that it significantly reduced her efficiency at work.

All of a sudden, her phone rang. It was a call from her

grandfather.

“Hey, Mackenzie! Can the strategic warehouse project

be completed in time? All the directors kept pressuring

me for the progress update!” Terence sounded

anxious.

After all, all shareholders wanted profits. As the

majority shareholder of the company, Terénce

undoubtedly hoped the project would succeed.

“Grandpa, I’m waiting for an update from someone,”

Mackenzie said calmly.

“Updates from someone? Who’s the CEO of Terence

Group? Who’s the decision maker of the company?
