Chapter 822
Parents always favored their more successful children. Among her three
daughters, Mackenzie was the most outstanding. Despite her young age, she
managed Terence Group remarkably well, earning the admiration of the
other Quillen women.
“Yeah, let’s have a meal together at home and talk about what’s on your
mind.” Upon hearing Mackenzie’s words, Felicity took a deep breath, feeling a
mix of emotions.
Her eldest daughter used to be different. Now, she had become more
compassionate and worldly. It was undoubtedly Emmanuel who had
influenced her daughter in this way.
Felicity didn’t like Emmanuel, feeling that he wasn’t worthy of her daughter.
But if it weren’t for that man, she probably would never have heard her
daughter say such warm words to her in her lifetime.
“How about it? We’re still family. Do you really want to stay at your parents’
house forever? It’s not as comfortable there as it is at the Quillen residence,
right?”
Mackenzie was in her office when she made the call.
Lexi was standing at the door, looking at Mackenzie in front of her. She also
felt somewhat estranged, similar to how Felicity felt.
“Alright, I’ll come home tonight. Let us, mother and daughter, have a good
chat!”
What Mackenzie said last made Felicity decide to return once again.
After hanging up the phone, Felicity struggled to contain her emotions for a
while.
Regardless of Mackenzie’s intentions, she had always longed to become
close to this daughter. This longing has been buried in her heart for over 20
years.
Knock, knock.
Just then, someone knocked on her door.
Since her confrontation with Samantha, she had returned to the Lenoir
residence. Although Adolph wasn’t at home recently, the other members of
the Lenoir family treated her fairly well. They even arranged for her to stay in
her old room, and very few people disturbed her.
“Who is it?” Felicity asked.
“Mrs. Quillen, I’m Colonel Yancy. Mr. Magnus wishes to have a conversation
with you.”
At that, Felicity’s mood became even more complicated.
Previously, she had been determined to seek revenge against the Quillen
family. However, after her call with Mackenzie earlier, her determination had
wavered.
Although the Quillen family consisted of Terence and the other Quillen
women, her daughter was also a part of that family.
“I understand. I’ll be right there.”
Felicity took a deep breath, casually dressed up, and then went out with her
bag.
Gordon personally escorted her to a private meeting place. The meeting was
arranged very discreetly and decently.
Felicity entered the room, where only Magnus and an ugly man were present.
“Ms. Lenoir, please have a seat. I have brewed some top-quality tea for you.
Please have a taste.” Magnus poured tea for Felicity himself and referred to
her as ‘Ms. Lenoir’ instead of ‘Mrs. Quillen.
Felicity was a little surprised and said softly, “Thank you, but Mr. Magnus, you
are so distinguished. How can I let you pour tea for me?”
“You’re too kind. You are my elder, and it’s only right for me to show respect to
you!” Magnus smiled, resembling a courteous and polite young man,
endearing him to the older generation.
Felicity also discreetly glanced at the unattractive man. Seeing that Magnus
hadn’t signaled for him to leave, she asked, “May I know why you invited me
here, Mr. Magnus? Is there something you want to discuss?”
“It’s something good!” Magnus smiled.
“Oh, something good?” Felicity smiled knowingly after her momentary
stupefaction. “I’m even more eager to hear it then!”
With a motion to invite her to the tea, Magnus began to speak slowly. “I’ve
been keeping your invitation to cooperate last time in mind, and now, there’s
a great opportunity to bring the Quillen family down for good, and I would like.
you to take charge personally.”
“What?!” Felicity was shocked.
