“Good. Just keep this in mind–no matter what happens, your well–being comes first,” Ethan reminded her once more but didn’t drag it out.

She was the star tonight. He was just playing a minor role.

Shortly after the banquet began, Ethan had a few bites before excusing himself to return to work. Prior to his departure, he turned to Emmanuel and told him he wouldn’t require his protection for the night, giving him the opportunity to relax and enjoy the evening with his wife.

Showing respect, Emmanuel allowed Albin to guide the team in escorting Ethan back.

With Ethan gone, Veronica arrived. She brought Nathan and some key members of the Chapman Family to toast Mackenzie and offer their congratulations.

Tonight, as the guest of honor, Mackenzie was going to be busy all night. Emmanuel naturally took it upon himself as the man standing behind her to shield her from all the drinks coming her way.

“Haha! Master, Emmanuel is catching up to you when it comes to drinking!” Shane laughed as the drinks flowed.

Instead of showing signs of getting drunk, Emmanuel seemed to get more energized. He was drinking like a beast!

Standing with his hands behind his back, Santiago watched with a knowing smile but didn’t say much.

“Emmanuel, are you sure you’re okay? You don’t have to push yourself,” Mackenzie asked, concerned.

She knew he could hold his liquor, but with so much on his plate, she didn’t want him overdoing it.

“I’m totally fine, Mackenzie! Honestly, I feel like I could keep drinking for days!” Emmanuel grinned.

Even he found it weird–his alcohol tolerance had never been this high before.

Despite his confidence, she decided enough was enough. Everyone respected her decision once she made the call, and the toasts stopped.

Emmanuel finally had a moment to breathe.
