“Yes. You,” Lauren said, adjusting her black-rimmed glasses. “The boss of Diamond Titan Military Technologies likes to do things
differently, and we need someone of the same caliber to deal with him. After careful consideration, Shane, I believe you are the
best candidate for this.”
These words were nothing but lies. In reality, she was wondering if Shane was related to Henry. If it worked out, she would take
credit for her unique insight; if it didn’t, Henry would support Shane. So, she didn’t have to go out of
her way to do it herself.
After making the announcement, Lauren walked over to Shane, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Shane, I have high
expectations for you. Don’t disappoint me!” While waiting for the other members of the department to applaud, she gently
nudged him and whispered, “Consider this a return for your favor earlier. Oh, and I forgot to
mention. My family hasn’t owed anyone favors for about 400 years.”
Wow! Your family stopped owing favors even earlier than my sect did?
At this moment, Shane was trembling all over, unsure of how to feel. He felt incredibly grateful towards Lauren; she recognized
his talent and potential. If this worked out, with so much money, he wouldn’t know how to spend it. Was he supposed to go to a
nightclub and have fun with a dozen girls? He wasn’t that kind of person. Besides, the favor would be significant, and he wouldn’t
know how to repay it.
Everyone was envious of Shane. They wondered if he was just lucky, but he somehow managed to secure another
major opportunity.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Mackenzie returned to the Quillen residence.
Although Mackenzie hadn’t been to work for the past two days, she still had control over the Terence Group’s major

affairs.
The second repair of Terence Tech Tower was underway, and although the new product had been successfully developed, it still
needed further refinement. Mass production would require the establishment of a new production line. However, these were
minor issues; the main challenge was that the market wasn’t fully developed
yet.
To make a profit and earn a fortune, it was necessary to rapidly expand the market.
Although Emmanuel and Mackenzie hadn’t discussed it yet, they shared an understanding in their hearts: they had
to increase the assets of the Quillen family by 60 percent within a year. Therefore, they were pinning their hopes on this new
energy product.
As they entered the front hall, they found their aunts Samantha, Sophie, and Hannah sitting there, along with Lara
and Beatrix
Aunt Samantha, Aunt Sophie, and Aunt Hannah, what brings you three here?”
Seeing Emmanuel, Hannah still looked disdainful. Even though Emmanuel had contributed to the successful
development of the new product last time, she still believed that the credit belonged to Lara and that Emmanuel had merely
seized an opportunity

To make a profit and earn a fortune, it was necessary to rapidly expand the market.
Although Emmanuel and Mackenzie hadn’t discussed it yet, they shared an understanding in their hearts: they had to increase
the assets of the Quillen family by 60 percent within a year. Therefore, they were pinning their hopes on this new energy product.
As they entered the front hall, they found their aunts Samantha, Sophie, and Hannah sitting there, along with Lara
and Beatrix.
“Aunt Samantha, Aunt Sophie, and Aunt Hannah, what brings you three here?”
Seeing Emmanuel, Hannah still looked disdainful. Even though Emmanuel had contributed to the successful
development of the new product last time, she still believed that the credit belonged to Lara and that Emmanuel had merely
seized an opportunity.
This demonstrated the power of prejudice.
“Mackenzie, we’re here to share some news.” Samantha approached the couple with a smile, gently holding Mackenzie’s hand
as she spoke.
Felicity, upon hearing Mackenzie’s return, also came out to the front hall, arriving just in time to witness this scene.
In her heart, she felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since her relationship with Mackenzie improved, she had grown

even more resentful of Samantha’s closeness with Mackenzie. That’s my daughter, not hers! This woman really has
no shame.
“What news?” Mackenzie asked, playing along with Samantha.
“Mackenzie, let me interrupt,” Lara interjected just as Samantha was about to speak. “You haven’t been at the
company for the past couple of days. Gautier couldn’t find you, so he asked us to bring you some business information. The
Verkade family is interested in collaborating with us on the new energy product, and they will help us expand our market.
Additionally, they have already secured orders worth 150 million. In this partnership, we will split the profits 30/70, with them
receiving 30 percent and us receiving 70 percent.” She spoke with a wide smile, believing that these terms were very generous
for the Quillen family.
Emmanuel couldn’t help but chuckle. Handing over the market development to the Verkade family? Wouldn’t that
leave them vulnerable to the Verkade family’s control in the future?
“What’s so funny?” Lara felt offended by Emmanuel’s reaction, even though he didn’t laugh out loud.
Everyone’s attention shifted to Emmanuel, including Mackenzie’s.
Hannah and Lara even appeared angry
Therefore, Emmanuel had no choice but to speak his mind, “Why do we need to partner with the Verkade family? We can
establish our own production line and expand the market independently. Why should we give away 30
percent of the profit for nothing?”
