Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 854 Recognition
Hannah readily agreed. “If you can resolve this matter and help Mackenzie, I will no longer oppose you two being together!”
Sophie scoffed, “If Hannah doesn’t object to it, then it won’t matter, even if I’m the only one doing so, right?”
“Good, then I’ve made my decision.” Terence had the final word and turned to Emmanuel. “Next, we will have a family meeting.
Emmanuel, you may explore the surroundings for a while.”
Emmanuel nodded and stood up, leaving the meeting room. He still couldn’t gain recognition from the Quillens, and they still
didn’t want him involved in matters concerning core interests and secrets, which made him very uncomfortable. He genuinely
loved Mackenzie, so when would they be able to live like an ordinary couple?
The next topic the Quillens discussed was preparing funds since they still had to take precautions even though Terence and
Mackenzie chose to trust Emmanuel. If Emmanuel failed and the shareholders started selling stocks, the Quillens had to unite to
stabilize the company’s stock price. Unfortunately, Terence Group had a market value of tens of billions of dollars, so even if the
other Quillens were willing to take over, they might not have the capability.
“My law firm has made some profits in recent years, so I can contribute about 60 million.” Stephanie, as the eldest daughter, took
the lead in expressing her stance.
“Although I am the deputy mayor, I can’t compare in terms of financial strength since I only have 60 million in savings and can’t
contribute any more!” Moira’s statement was acceptable to everyone. If she contributed millions, she would probably be
investigated.
“Dad, I can contribute at least 225 million. If it’s still not enough, I’ll find a way to squeeze out some more!” Samantha’s words
shocked the other members of the Quillens.
Felicity was envious since her assets as the Quillens’ daughter-in-law couldn’t even compare to one-tenth of Samantha’s.
“Alright, what about Sophie and Hannah?” Terence was very pleased with his three daughters. Sophie was always the most
reliable one while dealing with important family issues.
“I can contribute 70 million!”
“I can contribute 45 million!”

The two women also expressed their stances, although they seemed unhappy.
“What about you, Felicity?” Samantha then turned to Felicity.
Felicity’s hands, which were on her lap, suddenly gripped her skirt tightly. Biting her lip, she deliberately put on a cold expression.
“I-I don’t have any money!”
“What?” Hannah was the first to exclaim in astonishment and glared at Felicity, while the other Quillen women also frowned.
Samantha slammed her hands down on the table. “Felicity, what do you mean by that? Did you come back to the Quillens just to
take advantage of us? Whenever there are things to be divided in the Quillens, you are the most proactive, but when it comes to
raising money in difficult times, you just sit back and do nothing.”
Felicity reeled herself in while Mackenzie looked at her mother, torn between wanting to speak and remaining silent without
knowing which side to take.

“Felicity! Since you are unwilling to help us, then leave! The Quillens don’t need someone like you!” Samantha pointed directly
toward the door.
The atmosphere became tense once again, even more so than before. This was because everyone’s disgust towards Felicity ran
deeper than their disdain for Emmanuel.
Felicity’s thighs were almost swollen from how tight she was gripping them. She suppressed her anger. Why had Samantha
treated her so harshly compared to how she treated Emmanuel?
Why?
As the mistress of the family, why did she have to endure mistreatment from them every time?
