Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1268 Dowry 

Marianne’s perception of Mackenzie’s demeanor conveyed an unmistakable sense of superiority. She compared Mackenzie to a regal figure perched atop a pyramid, casting her gaze down upon others with an air of entitlement.

“Ah, Mackenzie, Beatrix, you’ve finally made it!” Roselynn greeted them warmly.

Mackenzie acknowledged Roselynn with a slight nod before turning her gaze to Marianne. “And who might this be?”

Roselynn quickly said, “She is Tia’s mother. We brought her here to attend the wedding.”

Tia, who was getting her makeup done, quickly stood up and said nervously, “Ms. Quillen, my mother spoke out of turn. Please… please don’t mind!”

Roselynn responded, “Mrs. Franks just arrived. I was just about to present it.”

“Leave it to me.” Mackenzie gestured dismissively and then turned to Lexi, instructing, “Prepare a bank card with 280 thousand.”

“Certainly, Ms. Quillen,” Lexi acknowledged with a nod.
