Chapter 485
Mackenzie, engrossed in handling some matters on her phone, was caught
off guard by the sudden jolt, leaving her slightly disheveled. Hastily, she tidied
her hair and glanced up.
She knew Emmanuel was a skilled driver and wouldn’t brake so suddenly
without reason. However, it was early in the morning, so what could be
obstructing their path at the residential area entrance?
As her gaze lifted, instant comprehension dawned upon her. Her eyebrows
furrowed, and she swiftly rolled down the car window to deliver a stern
reprimand. “Quintus, what kind of crazy stunt are you pulling again? Get lost!”
The strained connection she had with the Lenoir family had intensified her
C
aversion toward Quintus. Why are people from the Lenoir family so annoying?
“Mackenzie, I’m not here to find you today!” Quintus‘ attitude was slightly
different from usual. He abandoned his sycophantic attitude and directly
pointed at Emmanuel, challenging, “Emmanuel, if you’re a man, get out of the
car. I must have a showdown with you today!”
“What a crazy man!” Mackenzie muttered under her breath and firmly
ordered Emmanuel, “Drive into him! I’ll take responsibility for whatever
happens!”
“Um...” Emmanuel was stunned. While he also found Quintus annoying, he
knew he couldn’t behave recklessly and ram into the man.
They were already in deep conflict with the Lenoir family. If they resorted to
such drastic measures, the situation would only escalate.
“If you do not do it, then I will!” Faced with his hesitation, Mackenzie
unexpectedly unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the gas pedal.
“Mackenzie, calm down!” Emmanuel hurriedly attempted to persuade her.
However, with a single glance from her, he shut his mouth and allowed her to
proceed as she pleased.
He didn’t quite grasp the reason behind it. Perhaps it was due to her
commanding presence or the rationality that was reflected in her eyes, but
all he could do was place his trust in his wife.
Mackenzie stepped on the gas pedal, and the Maserati charged toward
Quintus recklessly.
“What the heck? Is she out of her mind?!” Quintus cursed angrily and swiftly
leaped to the side, attempting to dodge the car.
He had thought himself formidable, but it turned out he was no match for
Mackenzie, who fearlessly dared to crash into him.
After the Maserati sped out of the residential area, Mackenzie composed
herself and calmly settled back into the passenger seat, looking as if nothing
had happened.
Emmanuel couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. When it came to
ruthlessness, he had to admire his wife.
“Whether it’s General Lenoir or anyone else from the Lenoir family, they’re all
bark and no bite! I don’t believe they would dare to do anything to us. As long
as we’re in the right, we shouldn’t be afraid of them!” Mackenzie suddenly
advised Emmanuel.
He let out a long sigh upon hearing that. While his conscience remained clear
in most matters, the weight of guilt regarding Claudette’s death always
lingered within him.
It could be said that her death was the catalyst for the eruption of conflict
between the Lenoir and Quillen families, and he was the key figure in their
feud.
The one who caused the problem should be the one to solve it. Emmanuel
felt a deep conviction that he had to be the one to resolve the conflict
between the two families.
As Emmanuel arrived at the entrance of Terence Tower, his eyes fell upon the
disheartening sight of various large words painted around by disgruntled
people. The messages predominantly accused the Quillen family of being
murderers who manipulated their wealth to conceal the truth.
An air of panic permeated the uninformed masses, casting a cloud of fear
Over the Terence Group.
Emmanuel’s unease deepened as he took in the scene.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie lightly bit her lip and reassured him, “Emmanuel, don’t
let these trivial matters bother you. I’ll take care of everything!”
After speaking, she stepped out of the car and whispered, “These are nothing
but childish tricks. The Lenoir family is so immature.”
She held no respect for Adolph.
Despite his high–ranking position in the military in Yeringham, his revenge
tactics amounted to nothing more than just petty tricks. He was completely
lacking the qualities of a great general.
