Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 436
Felicity seemed unaware of Terence’s concerns and continued to smile while
saying, “Dad, since it’s Gautier we’re talking about, wouldn’t he be a suitable
match for Mackenzie? After all, he is also recognized as a business genius in
Yeringham, and the business plans of our families complement each other!”
“Shut up!” Terence interrupted angrily.
She was slightly startled and beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She
didn’t understand why Terence was so angry.
“Felicity, setting aside the questions of whether Gautier is worthy of
Mackenzie or not and if he is sincere or not, do you really think that the
Verkade family can peacefully coexist with the Quillen family?”
His question left her even more puzzled. She wore a face of innocence as she
replied, “Do we have any deep-seated grudges against the Verkade family?”
Terence laughed. “Felicity, are you genuinely ignorant or pretending not to
know? Even if you don’t oversee the business affairs of the Quillen family, you
must be aware of some major matters, right? We are direct competitors with
the Verkade family in many fields. This year, when our strategic warehouse
project was completed, we directly snatched orders worth hundreds of
millions from the Verkade family and their partners. They probably already
harbor deep resentment toward us!”

Felicity still wore a somewhat indifferent expression, as if she was listening to
stories unrelated to her, and there was even a hint of doubt in her expression.
“Dad, perhaps it’s your sensitivity at play here. Competition is inevitable in
business, but the Verkade family doesn’t treat us as enemies. Moreover, if the
two families were to form a marriage alliance, many issues could be
resolved smoothly. Isn’t turning enemies into friends the best outcome for
both sides?”
Her naive words made Terence grow a little impatient. At this point, he had
no choice but to speak his mind.
“Am I being sensitive? Perhaps you don’t know how many assassinations
attempts Mackenzie and I have faced. If it weren’t for Emmanuel, Mackenzie
might have died long ago at the hands of the assassins sent by the Verkade
family! And now you want Mackenzie to marry into the Verkade family? Isn’t
that like throwing a lamb into a tiger’s den?”
“Well...”
Felicity fell silent. Although she didn’t continue speaking, she didn’t fully
believe Terence either.
After a momentary pause, she continued, “Regardless of whether what you
say is true or not, I still feel that it’s a waste for Mackenzie to marry someone
like Emmanuel. If you have biases against the Verkade family, we can

consider someone from Zovince-”
“Enough!” Terence couldn’t be bothered to continue the conversation and
coldly interrupted Felicity. “When I asked you to choose someone for
Mackenzie earlier, you were indifferent! Now that Mackenzie has found a man
she likes, you want to step in and stop her? What kind of mother are you? As
long as Mackenzie is happy, the Quillen family doesn’t need a family alliance
to strengthen itself!”
Felicity nodded helplessly. “I understand. Please excuse me then!”
After speaking, she turned and walked away, her expression cold.
As she walked out of the hall and into the corridor of the inner hall, she
encountered Sarah.
Sarah smiled at her and was seemingly amused. “Mom, why bother trying to
interfere when you know that the Quillen family won’t listen to us?”
Felicity’s face remained cold and she stayed silent.
Sarah continued to smile and asked, “Why were you so enthusiastic this
time? After all, you’re known as the most indifferent person in the Quillen
family!”
Felicity finally explained, “I’m from the Lenoir family, and Mackenzie is my
daughter. I know for a fact that General Lenoir will go after Emmanuel, so if
she continues to be with him, she will undoubtedly become an enemy of the

Lenoir family. If that happens, I’ll be caught in the middle. What am I
supposed to do then?”
“I see.” Sarah’s eyes held a hint of suspicion as she cunningly smiled. “Mom, if I
help you break Emmanuel and Mackenzie up, how will you repay me?”
Felicity trembled slightly as she stared at Sarah’s cautious eyes. She didn’t
feel like Sarah was her daughter at all.
“I have no position in the Quillen family. I’m just an idle person. If you expect to
gain something from me, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed!”
Felicity calmly responded without showing any emotions.
