Chapter 1169 An Unfavorable Plot Against the Quillens
77%1
Laura was stupefied for quite some time before regaining her voice, saying seriously, “Felicity, I won’t go into that discussion with
you now. Just tell me. Are you willing to help me break up Emmanuel and Mackenzie, have her marry Gautier, use our families’
alliance to support the Lendir family, and find a way to bring my darling back?”
Seeing her so passionate, Felicity immediately fell into hesitation and contemplation.
Meanwhile, Terence and Alfred had returned to the Quillen residence.
As soon as they got out of the car, Marilyn approached with a full smile, limping toward them.
“Old Mr. Quillen, welcome back!” she greeted while trying to put a coat on Terence. The weather had been unpredictable lately,
and she was afraid he might catch a cold.

Alfred silently observed the scene. It didn’t seem like a maid receiving the master; rather, it resembled a husband coming home
warmly greeted by his considerate wife.
“Marilyn, your leg hasn’t fully recovered. Don’t move too much!” Terence also expressed concern.
These days, Marilyn had been serving him wholeheartedly and often keeping him company in conversation. Human hearts were
made of flesh, and Terence, a kind man, would reciprocate the kindness toward whoever was
nice to him.
“Don’t worry about me!” Marilyn, receiving Terence’s care, smiled even brighter. Then she quickly reported, “Old Mr.
Quillen, a beautiful lady arrived at our residence earlier!”
Hearing the term “our residence,” Alfred frowned, directly reprimanding, “Marilyn, mind your words!”
Marilyn quickly lowered her head, desperately apologizing, even though she didn’t know exactly what she said
wrongly.
“Come on, Alfred, don’t be so harsh on Marilyn. She’s still a child, inexperienced, not so accustomed to formalities!”
Terence quickly stopped Alfred, protecting Marilyn.
As a servant of the Quillen family, it wasn’t exactly wrong of her to use “our residence.”
“Where is the beautiful lady now?”
“She’s chatting in Ms. Lenoir’s room, sir. No need for our attendance,” Marilyn said, and Terence immediately
furrowed his brows.
Although he had noticed Felicity’s recent changes, he still couldn’t help feeling suspicious of the fact that someone had come
looking for her when they left the Quillen residence that day.
“Alfred, come with me to Felicity’s room. Let’s meet this esteemed guest!”
“Yes, sir!” Alfred followed Terence to Felicity’s room.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Laura was behaving emotionally. She slammed a phone onto the table and said coldly, “Felicity, I
have a video here. I need your connections to help promote the relationship between Gautier and Mackenzie. As long as we gain
the support of Yeringham’s public opinion, Mackenzie will eventually leave Emmanuel and be with Gautier!”
“I-” Felicity was a bit surprised and hesitant. She didn’t expect Laura to have already planned out nicely. It seemed that she and
the Verkade family had already discussed and maybe even reached some agreement before Laura
came over.
“How about it, Felicity? Have you forgotten that you’re a Lenoir? Adolph is your only family left in this world. Are you going to
stand by and watch him not return to Yeringham, not rescue him and the Lenoir family?!” Laura applied pressure to Felicity once
again.
Felicity sighed slightly, about to agree, when a knock came at the door.
Knock, knock...
“Who is it?!” Felicity, feeling a bit guilty, asked nervously.
“Ms. Lenoir, Old Mr. Quillen heard that a guest has come to visit you and specially came to meet them.”
“Huh? Oh, come in!” After Felicity agreed, the door swung open.
Terence glanced around as he entered, not only seeing Laura but also noticing the phone, which seemed to be playing some
sort of video, on the table.
“Quillen... Old Mr. Quillen! Hello!” Laura, seeing Terence’s gaze, was slightly startled but quickly put on a smile and
tucked away her phone.
“My, it’s you, Madam Verkade. Welcome! Haha, why didn’t you tell me you’re coming over?” Terence laughed heartily, but there
was a glint in his eyes.
How could he not guess that Laura came to talk to Felicity precisely because she learned that the entire Quillen family would be
observing the experiment that day? From this, he deduced that she must be plotting something unfavorable to the Quillen family.
