Chapter 902 Extend an Olive Branch
98%
“Hehe, I never dreamed that Terence Group would end up in this situation today,” a man in casual attire at the press conference
venue suddenly chuckled. “I wonder how panicked the heiress of the Quillen family is right now.”
His smile carried an air of fantasy and greed.
“Yes, it’s true that the wheel of fortune turns,” another man in a beige suit, holding a cigar, said after exhaling a smoke ring.
“Terence Group’s stockholders are selling off their shares, and they are facing enormous breach of contract penalties. Many
debts that were previously manageable may now be life–threatening.”
Both of them were heirs of prominent Yeringham companies and also among Mackenzie’s admirers. One was named Archibald
Zilmont, and the other was Godfrey Hewitt.
In the past, both of them had contemplated pursuing Mackenzie but were quickly discouraged by her icy glare.
“Remember that saying from Yeringham’s high society circles?” Archibald lit a cigarette and asked Godfrey
“Haha, I remember it even in my dreams!” Godfrey chuckled self–deprecatingly. “In front of the Icy Female CEO, we were no
different from the average working–class men!”
Archibald snorted and said, “That’s all in the past. After today, Mackenzie will descend from her pedestal. Let’s see if she can be
as high and mighty as before.”
“You’re right!” Godfrey’s eyes were filled with anticipation. “If the Quillen family can’t pay off their debts, I’m willing to spend
millions to buy her back and serve me as a way to fulfill my obsession!”
“Haha, I’m afraid you’ll be at the back of the line if she can be acquired with money!” Archibald, who had just been scornful of
Mackenzie, suddenly showed a crafty side when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, “Even if it takes a billion, I’ll make
her mine and show her my love every night!”
They certainly weren’t the only men with similar intentions, especially since they knew Mackenzie had chosen. an ordinary man.
“Not choosing a business alliance might be the root cause of the Quillen family’s downfall,” someone else chimed in. “If
Mackenzie had married into the Verkade family, even in the face of today’s difficulties, they could probably have found a way
out.”
These discussions happened to fall within earshot of Beatrix and Lexi. Beatrix was deeply concerned that if her mother and
aunts heard these comments, they might redouble their efforts to break up her sister and brother-
in–law.
In fact, the older women of the Quillen family had already heard those comments.
Right then, they were backstage at the press conference, nagging and complaining to Mackenzie.
“Mackenzie, look at the man you chose. He promised to solve the technical refining issue, didn’t he? But look at the situation
now! He’s been gone for five days!”
Hannah was outraged right then and spoke harshly. “Typical of lower–class people–they talk big but can’t
deliver!”
Mackenzie felt very upset. She was already troubled by the company and the press conference, and Hannah’s words only made
her more frustrated.

“Mackenzie, hear me out. You should reach out to the Verkades—or other business families if you’d prefer while we still have the
chance.” Sophie was done badmouthing Emmanuel and went straight to advising Mackenzie. “I know many wealthy heirs and
big business families are infatuated with you. As long as you extend an olive branch, they’ll be willing to help us through this
difficult time!”
At that, Mackenzie’s annoyance grew.
Felicity was also backstage, but she dared not say a word, especially with how Mackenzie currently appeared.
“Alright, stop bothering Mackenzie.” Samantha, who genuinely cared for Mackenzie, stopped her sisters. “Mackenzie needs to
use this press conference to tell the world that we’ve resolved the production issue. As long as she can maintain the
shareholders‘ confidence and attract outside investors, Terence Group can weather this storm.”
