Chapter 1363 Provocation
Although Beatrix wasn't accustomed to formal business settings, she understood
the importance of maintaining decorum among business people. Therefore, she
was taken aback when Althea spoke so bluntly.
Suddenly, Aidan’s cold voice interjected, “Well, well, if it isn't the missy from the
Quillen family. What a surprise to see you again. Quite the coincidence, isn't it?"
He was dressed in a white suit, contrasted sharply by a blood-red shirt. His icy
smile accentuated his still-swollen face, giving him an almost sinister look
reminiscent of a movie villain.
A middle-aged couple, presumably his parents, walked ahead of him. The man
was tall and slender, with a pallid complexion. The woman had a drooping face
and slightly hollow cheeks. Her heavy makeup rendered her somewhat off-
putting.
Seeing the Tanner family approach, the trio from the Quillen family couldn't hide
their disdain. With the Tanner family’s appearance, they resembled antagonists
from a television drama.
“Huh? Why is the Quillen family here? Weren't you all part of the Chamber of
Commerce?” Aidan asked, massaging his temple as he spoke. “Oh, are you
considering joining the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce?” Hi's incredulous
expression hinted that he found the idea amusing.
“Beatrix, let's head inside,” Mackenzie said, gently guiding her sister away from
the tense situation with the Tanner family.
Emmanuel glanced at Aidan, thinking, “Dealing with someone like him should be
easier than dealing with Magnus and Gautier. Sadly, he’s just as repulsive as
them.”
“Hehe, I advise you not to go in. Your family has ruffled mine, so forget about
your Chamber of Commerce application. Mark my words!” Aidan declared
arrogantly, turning away from the trio with a smug smile. “Instead of wasting your
time here, why not go home and enjoy yourselves? Isn't that more fun for one
man and two women?”
“You... you sicko!” Beatrix couldn't hold back and raised her finger, wanting to
confront him.
Emmanuel lightly patted her shoulder and reasoned, “Oh, it's just a dog barking;
nothing to lose sleep over, right?”
Beatrix snorted coldly in agreement. “You're right. I'll take it as if a stray mutt on
the street barks at me. But do we need to stoop down to their level and bark
back?”
“D*mn it, who are you calling a dog?” Aidan’s rage flared up instantly as he
pointed and jeered, “So, the Quillen family’s dreams of setting up an energy
engine factory in Onza, huh? My advice? Snap out of it. To even think about
setting up a factory here, you need the nod from the Onza municipal council, and
they only accept papers endorsed by the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce. In
other words, you can forget about making headway in Onza for the rest of your
life, haha...”
His laughter grated on Mackenzie's nerves. She tried to ignore him but couldn't
brush off his words because he was right. Terence Group would only stand a
chance at establishing and operating a factory in Onza if they went through the
Chamber of Commerce to apply to the Onza municipal council. Even acquiring
the Hadley factory wouldn't guarantee smooth operations.
“Mackenzie, it's too noisy with all these yapping dogs around. Let's head inside,”
Emmanuel suggested. He grabbed his wife's hand and gestured for her to head
inside.
She nodded, but her mind was heavy with worry. She might have considered
Aidan an obnoxious, spoiled brat, but that didn’t make dealing with him any
easier. The Tanner family’s influence loomed large, and crossing them could
have dire consequences.

Beatrix felt even more burdened by guilt. She inwardly chastised herself, It's all
on me. Why did I unnecessarily offend the Tanner family? I'm better at causing
trouble than solving it!
Upon entering the venue, the trio discovered a crowd eagerly awaiting their
membership applications to be processed. The spacious hall was crowded with
impeccably dressed individuals radiating sophistication. Not one of them seemed
like a pushover.
Shortly after, Emmanuel noticed the arrival of the Tanner family’s representative.
A bald man swiftly pulled Aidan away, their expressions appearing peculiar. Then,
Emmanuel promptly informed his wife, “Mackenzie, I'm going out for a while.”
