Chapter 550
Conversely, Beatrix’s hatred for Richie deepened after she witnessed
everything. Who does he think he is, trying to hit on my sister? How delusory!
Soon after, Richie and Cain left Terence Group.
As he left the building, Richie growled spitefully, “Mackenzie Quillen is so
arrogant. Did you see the way she lorded over us? Why did she act so high
and mighty, huh? I’m so pissed!”
In the meantime, Cain’s expression became gloomy after hearing this, and
he clenched his jaw and muttered, “It was unbearably rude of her to treat us
like that! Hah! Once the Lenoir and Verkade families succeed in bringing the
Quillen family down, I’ll make sure I’ll drag that woman through the mud and
humiliate her!”
As soon as everyone else had left, Mackenzie got up and left her office.
“Heading back to the Quillen residence, Ms. Quillen?” Wally asked as he
opened the car door for her.
Nonetheless, she thought about it and replied, “Take me back to Yociam
Residence.”
He was taken aback upon hearing this, but he quickly nodded and drove off.
Why is Ms. Quillen returning to Yociam Residence today? Has Mr. Lowe
returned home?
Meanwhile, Mackenzie believed her husband had returned home. It’s been a
while since we last spoke, but after receiving the photos and videos today, I
can only assume he’s back in Yeringham. If not, why would the other party
send these items today? Wouldn’t they be concerned if those photographs
no longer had the desired effect, and I’d have calmed down by the time I saw
him again?
Despite her certainty, she was disappointed when she opened the door to
find her husband had not returned. “That fool...” At this instant, she felt a void
in her heart while standing alone in the living room. If he doesn’t return, I’ll sell
the house and be done with these emotions for good.
Later, she undressed and stepped into the shower, where she turned on the
water and stood with her head raised as the warm water cascaded over her.
Her fair skin glistened in the light like marble, making her appear as perfect
as a work of art!
Twenty minutes later, she jumped out of the shower and called Lexi without
getting dressed. “Lexi, for the next two days, keep an eye on the Lenoir family
for me. Emmanuel has most likely gone over to them!”
“Yes, Ms. Quillen!” Lexi instantly replied. Since Mackenzie used the phrase
“most likely,” Lexi knew it was a guess, but she had complete faith in
Mackenzie’s intellect. Despite coming from a distinguished background, this
was the only reason she was willing to work as Mackenzie’s secretary
because she liked being in the presence of such an intelligent woman.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie had just hung up and was getting ready for bed when
her phone rang, and she saw that it was Terence.
“Mackenzie, is there a growing concern about the company’s cash flow
situation?” Even though he had faith in her abilities and rarely questioned her
about company matters, all her grandfather wanted to do was help with the
finances.
“Yeah. Since the warehouse’s reconstruction work had just been completed,
we needed to invest in production now. However, in the field of energy, the
Lenoir family is fighting tooth and nail to steal our market share and has used
this opportunity to drag us down. Right now, we are approximately 150 million
short on funds,” Mackenzie reported to Terence truthfully.
“I see.” After a moment of reflection, he continued, “I can get 150 million, but
we can’t keep dragging out this feud with the Lenoir family!”
“I trust that Emmanuel will soon think of a way to save Claudette, Grandpa,
and when that happens, the Lenoir family won’t go against us anymore,
which means the crisis will be over!” she said with full confidence.
“Oh? Do you have absolute faith in this? Did he get in touch with you?”
Terence perked up.
“No. It’s just a guess. So, trust me, Grandpa!” Mackenzie sounded absolutely
certain. Today, after speaking with Roselynn, she had even more faith in
Emmanuel. As one would expect, she had confidence in her judgment,
having picked him put herself!
