Chapter 558
At the Quillen residence.
On the other hand, Terence was in the dark about the current situation in the
Lenoir family. Following his conversation with Mackenzie last night, he
decided to raise 150 million as soon as possible to help his granddaughter
overcome her business rivals.
The next morning, he awoke early, dressed, and left the house, but
unexpectedly Felicity chased after him.
“Dad! Please wait!”
He turned around and looked at her, asking, “What is it?”
The intensity of his stare put her on edge. She had an innate fear of him.
because he had kept her in check for a long time. Nevertheless, she
mustered the courage to ask, “Where are you going, Dad?”
“You’re overstepping, Madam!” Standing directly behind Terence, Alfred
quickly reminded her, “I don’t think Old Mr. Quillen needs to report where he’s
going to you, right?”
“I-” Felicity stepped back, but she gritted her teeth and said, “Dad, are you
leaving Yeringham? Are you going to sell what Tony left behind?”
Terence’s expression darkened at once, and he uttered, “What? Who told
you? Do you think you have a say in this?”
His words confirmed her worst suspicions; she became agitated and cried, “It
doesn’t matter who told me, Dad. Everything in the Quillen family belongs to
you, but I’m the primary heir to everything Tony left behind. Don’t you need
my approval before you sell it?”
!..
“How insolent!” he snapped at her. “I’m the head of the Quillen family. You just
said that everything in the Quillen family belongs to me, so don’t you think
you just contradicted yourself with your other claim? Go back into the house!”
However, Felicity didn’t budge from her spot, fixating intently on Terence.
Then, Alfred stood between them and advised, “Please don’t make things
worse for yourself, Madam!” Then, he waved to the household staff and
ordered, “Take Madam back to her room!”
“Yes, Mr. Grishaw!”
Afterward, two of the family’s bodyguards came over to take the woman
away by force.
Nonetheless, she pushed them away, stormed up to Terence, and shrieked, “I
don’t care what you sell off, Dad. It’s none of my business, but Tony’s things
belong to me! If you insist on selling his things, I’ll sue you in court-”
“Such insolence!!!” He couldn’t take it anymore and slapped Felicity. He was
heaving with anger and had turned red in the face!
“Old Mr. Quillen! You need to watch out for your health!” Alfred quickly fed
Terence one of the pills for his heart and gently rubbed his back.
When Terence finally caught his breath, he chastised, “Felicity, don’t think I
-don’t know that you married Tony for personal gain! The things that Tony
researched are the property of the Terence Group, and you have absolutely
nothing to do with them! Even if you try to take this to court, you’ll end up
:
looking foolish regardless of the outcome!”
Felicity clenched her teeth and declared obstinately, “I can’t take it back from
you now, Dad, but if you insist on doing this, let’s meet in court then!” Instead
of returning to the house, she marched toward the gates.
“Should I have them keep her in her room, Old Mr. Quillen?” Alfred asked.
It would be a piece of cake for a family as powerful as the Quillen family to
make sure that this woman never stepped foot outside of the house again,
but Terence didn’t have the decency to even consider it. Then, he scoffed
and replied, “Let her do whatever she wants! I have never done anything I’m
ashamed of. There’s no reason for me to do such a thing. Let’s go!”
Soon, the car drove him to a private airfield.
Meanwhile, Sarah, who happened to return home at the time, saw both her
mother’s car and her grandfather’s private helicopter leave the estate one
after the other. So, does this mean that Mom plans to drop all cordiality
pretense with Grandpa?
