Chapter 824
“No, that woman may not be steadfast, but she will definitely help me bring
down the Quillen family!” Magnus remained calm, filled with confidence.
“Even if she doesn’t want to, she is the sharpest sword that can pierce the
Quillen family’s century-old foundation!”
“It’s such a hassle talking to someone like you, all highfalutin!” Blake criticized.
“But I’m really curious to see how you will use this sword to pierce through the
Quillen family’s sturdy body!”
“I will definitely pierce through it.” Magnus chuckled. “I have forged so many
swords, and sooner or later, they will pierce through the Quillen family’s steel
frame. Only by forcing the Quillen family into a corner will Terence, that old
fox, be willing to bring those two things out!”
In the evening, Emmanuel arrived at the Terence Group to pick up his wife a
little after 5 p.m. As soon as he parked his car, Mackenzie left the company
and entered the front passenger seat.
“Emmanuel, head to the Quillen residence with me today!”
“Oh? What’s the occasion?”
“I’ve arranged a meeting with Felicity!”
“Mom’s coming back today? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
Emmanuel suddenly became a little nervous. Regardless of Felicity’s
relationship with the Quillens, she was his legitimate mother-in-law.
His reaction made Mackenzie realize she had overlooked this detail, and she
gave a slight smile. “What would you have done if I told you in advance?”
“I would’ve gone to buy some tea right away!”
Emmanuel remembered that he had promised Felicity last time that he
would buy some good tea to give her the next time he visited.
Mackenzie smiled ambiguously and didn’t stop him.
Seeing Emmanuel arrive at a high-end tea shop and buy two blocks of
premium exotic tea, Mackenzie couldn’t help but be curious. “Where did you,
an unemployed wanderer, get so much money?”
Emmanuel was no fool and had long anticipated Mackenzie’s question. He
quickly replied, “My medical skills aren’t cheap, and recently, I have saved
quite a few wealthy patients!”
“Claudette?” Mackenzie immediately thought of the young woman. In her
heart, Claudette was her number-one love rival.
Emmanuel shook his head, looking a little melancholic.
“What’s wrong? Have I hit a nerve and made you upset again?” Mackenzie
became a little annoyed. When will this man finally let go of Lenoir?!
Then again, Claudette had saved his life before. She probably wouldn’t like
him if he were the kind of heartless guy.
“It’s not time to be upset yet!” Emmanuel responded seriously. “There may still
be hope for Claudette, even if that chance is only one in a hundred
thousand.”
Mackenzie was quite taken aback by his statement. How can Claudette still
be alive after falling off a cliff and not even finding the body? What is she, a
cockroach in her past life?!
“Never mind, let’s not talk about this. Let’s hurry back! Felicity is probably
already back at the Quillen residence!” Mackenzie suddenly changed the
topic.
“Yeah, I hope you can have a good chat with her and resolve her grievances,”
said Emmanuel seriously while driving. “As the saying goes, ‘A harmonious
family brings everything prosper.’ If you can get your mother and the Quillen
family on the same page, it would be worth more than a 10-billion deal!”
Upon hearing this, Mackenzie stared intently at Emmanuel.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face? Or did I say something
wrong?” Emmanuel asked curiously, not believing that he had the charm to
attract the Ice Queen.
“Idiot!”
Mackenzie originally wanted to praise him for saying something so
reasonable, but in the end, it just turned into one word: idiot.
A complete idiot who couldn’t comprehend his wife’s thoughts!
