“None? Really?” Emmanuel confirmed once again.
“None!” Mackenzie responded, trying to appear composed.
At this moment, she was no longer the Icy Female CEO, but a wife afraid of her husband discovering the truth.
“Alright, let’s go home!” Emmanuel also breathed a sigh of relief, started the car, and thought Rhea’s strategy had worked.
There was no problem that a forceful kiss couldn’t solve! And if there was, they could do it twice! After all, it was all about making
the heart race! Mackenzie shouldn’t suspect that he didn’t love her anymore, right?
“Don’t think it’s all over just because I’m not angry anymore,” Mackenzie suddenly spoke up as the Maserati continued toward
the Quillen residence, sighing softly. “What happened last night has spread throughout the entire company! My cousin, Lara, has
returned from overseas. If she finds out about it, she will definitely tell my family.”
Emmanuel nodded in response. “It doesn’t matter. As long as you believe me and your mood isn’t affected, nothing else
concerns me!”
Lara wasn’t his wife, so why should he care about what she thought?!
Mackenzie, however, stared at him coldly and said, “But it does affect me! They are my family, and I hope you can gain their
approval, understand?”
Only then did Emmanuel look at Mackenzie and nod after a moment.
Indeed, since they chose to stay at the Quillen residence, he needed the approval of the entire Quillen family. Otherwise, how
could he live peacefully with Mackenzie there?
The two returned to the estate. While parking, they noticed nearly ten luxury cars in the front yard, resembling a small luxury car
exhibition.
“Are all your aunts back?” Emmanuel looked slightly surprised.
“Not just them. It seems that we have the full ensemble tonight,” Mackenzie speculated, feeling the pressure.
This was the day Lara returned to the country. She must have gathered everyone together. Looking at it, not only her several
aunts but also her uncles-in-law and some cousins were likely present.
Sure enough, as soon as the couple got out of the car and headed toward the villa, Beatrix hurriedly ran to them from the villa’s
entrance.
“Mackenzie, brace yourself tonight,” she panted. “Our aunts and Lara are urging Grandpa to bring out the Heart of the Sun,
restart the development of new energy products, and put them into commercial use! Everyone is waiting for you to come back to
call the shots.”
Mackenzie’s eyes turned icy in response. She knew Lara’s return would certainly stir things up, but she. didn’t expect it to involve
the Heart of the Sun.
Emmanuel quickly followed Mackenzie inside. Was Lara’s return a coincidence, or did someone send her back? Was there a big
conspiracy brewing behind the scenes?
When Mackenzie arrived in the spacious living room, she found that the entire Quillen family had indeed gathered together.
Even Hannah was back. Not only that, but Stephanie and Sofia’s husbands were present, and several cousins were sitting with
Lara, appearing quite intimate. Even Felicity sat quietly on the side.
Except for Sarah, the entire Quillen family was present.
“Mackenzie is back!”
“Mackenzie, you’re back just in time!” Hearing the voices, Samantha immediately stood up, smiling as she approached. “We
were just discussing whether we should bring out the Heart of the Sun for commercial development and profit!”
Mackenzie immediately looked toward Terence, who was sitting at the top, and asked, “Who proposed this? Grandpa, what’s
your opinion?”
“Lara suggested it,” Samantha replied. “Grandpa said to wait for your decision.”
I knew it! Mackenzie’s gaze immediately turned to Lara.
Lara looked at the couple, glanced at Emmanuel, bit her lip, and decided to temporarily ignore this scoundrel.
“I’ve already explained my reasoning to everyone just now, Mackenzie!” Lara immediately showed off the business skills she had
learned abroad. “Terence Group has just weathered a series of greve des employes, but we managed to turn the tide in the face
of difficulties. We not only averted the bankruptcy crisis but also further improved the chaine d’approvisionnement and
cooperation commerciale. Moreover, there is a substantial influx of new funds, stock prices are rising, and confiance des
marches are at its peak!”
