“What? No, no, no!” Sebastian waved his hands repeatedly. “Please don’t
misunderstand, Ms. Quillen. I was just referring to my woman!”
His forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
Jennifer, who had never experienced the business world, didn’t know that
even though the Quilles were currently in a predicament, and while
self-rescue might be difficult, they could still crush a small enterprise like the
Oatleys’ effortlessly.
It was like a small animal provoking a stuck elephant in a quagmire-it could
easily be crushed to death.
Seeing their father in such a panic, Jaxton and Jessica also tensed up. They
quickly realized that the rumored Icy Female CEO was truly formidable as
they experienced the overwhelming icy intimidation of the Quillen family’s
heiress firsthand.
This kind of presence couldn’t be grasped through words alone. It had to be
experienced with one’s senses and every single cell in the body to

Mackenzie coldly snorted and ignored the Oatleys. Instead, she turned to

“Wonderful! I’ll set the table right away!” Alessandra was very enthusiastic.

like a dog.
Feeling her gaze, Jennifer clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, but
not daring to say another word.
Even her husband feared Mackenzie. With Roselynn relying on their family
connections with the Quillens, what could Jennifer do against this
daughter-in-law?!

lose your backing! How dare a lowly commoner like you dare to act like a

Their family was different from the Lowes, a commoner household, and
although they didn’t have hundreds of servants like the Quillens, they could
still afford to hire servants specifically to serve them during meals.
Such things were unheard of and beneath them. If they did them, they would
feel as though their status was diminished.
“Ms. Quillen, I apologize for the lack of good wine today. I will offer you a cup
of tea instead. Cheers!” Sebastian, seeing Mackenzie seated, seized the
opportunity to build rapport.
After all, many people attending high-class gatherings wished to become

The Oatleys’ rare opportunity this day would make many envious.
