Chapter 1168 Don’t Apply Common People’s Norms to the Aristocracy!
After a while, she ultimately said, “Laura, as the saying goes, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’
I’ve been a part of the Quillen family for a long time. My heart can’t always be with my natal family,
especially since my parents have passed away!”
“But your older brother is still alive, right?” Laura immediately interjected. “Even if he’s away right now,
he’s still your blood rtive, isn’t he?”
Felicity frowned slightly, setting down her teacup. “Laura, why did youe to see me today? What’s
your intention?”
Finally, Laura cut to the chase. “Felicity, do you really want to abandon your family? Adolph still needs
our help. The
Lenoir family can’t just fall apart like this!”
Since Adolph was suddenly transferred from Yeringham by the higher-ups, the Lenoir family had been
instantly scattered.
Felicity was naturally well aware of the Lenoirs’ current situation but could only sigh helplessly. “I have
the will butck the power. As a woman without power or wealth, what can I do?”
“Felicity, now it’s just the two of us. You don’t need to put on an act!” Laura, known as the “Yeringham
Vixen,” thought she was quite good at acting but realized she was still child’s y in front of a woman
who truly knew how to act.
“Don’t think I don’t know. In the past twenty years, you’ve umted numerous connections. Many
have relied on your help and support to seed! Yes! These people may not be your rtives, but as
long as you ask them for help, they will surely repay your kindness and do everything to assist you!”
She directly exposed Felicity’s cards.
Felicity’s eyshes trembled slightly, but her expression remained calm.
“Laura, you’re overestimating me! I did help some people in the past, but they were not significant
figures. I can’t do much, especially since I don’t have money!” Felicity sighed. “Money is the root of
power, don’t you know that? Many rulers nowadays are controlled by financial conglomerates behind
the scenes. Besides, Adolph is just a small facade in Yeringham. The Lenoir family has no control over
any funds. How can we have the capital to make aeback?”
“So, we need to find a way to make big money!” Laura eximed excitedly. “Our two families must join
forces and break free from the Zelinsky family’s control!”
The Verkade family might be the Zelinsky family’s business partner, but in reality, they were heavily
threatened by thetter. Once the Zelinsky family stopped the coboration, the Verkade family’s
assets would quickly shrink Despite being a lucrative cource of ie for the Zelinsky family in the
past, the Lenoir family, which was previously loyal, was suddenly treated as a discarded pawn by the
Zelinsky family. With this precedent, the Verkade family could not afford not to panic.
“How can I help you make money? I’m just a woman without money or power,” Felicity mocked herself.
“You can!” Laura finally revealed the purpose of this visit. “You are Mackenzie’s mother. After you force
Mackenzie previously loyal, was suddenly treated as a discarded pawn by the Zelinsky family. With this
precedent, the Verkade family could not afford not to panic.
“How can I help you make money? I’m just a woman without money or power,” Felicity mocked herself.
“You can!” Laura finally revealed the purpose of this visit. “You are Mackenzie’s mother. After you force
Mackenzie to leave Emmanuel and marry Gautier, the Quillen and Verkade families can join forces to
rule Yeringham and break free from the Zelinsky family’s control. In fact, we can possibly dominate
Nuthana and even the entire national market!”
Watching Laura’s ambitious appearance, Felicity was momentarily stunned.
Her eyes showed a glint of interest, but Felicity continued to self-deprecate. “Laura, as you can see, I
am content! now, tending to flowers in the Quillen residence and enjoying my life, so I really don’t want
to interfere in the young people’s rtionships and invite trouble. Besides, Mackenzie and I have an
excellent rtionship now. Why would I want to break her and Emmanuel apart and risk distancing her
from me again?”
“Felicity, stop pretending!” Laura’s emotions were finally stirred. She stood up and said coldly, “The
Quillen family, the Lenoir family, the Verkade family, everybody knows that Mackenzie is not your
biological daughter! Need you lie to yourself in front of me?
Felicity turned grimly instantly.

“If everyone is oblivious to the fact that Mackenzie isn’t your daughter, do you think Hubert and Quintus
would pursue her so passionately? Are they idiots? Don’t they know that close rtives shouldn’t
marry?”
“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Felicity still insisted. “In many royal families today, marrying
close rtives is not a big deal. It’s even encouraged! Look at Jamie and Cersei Lannister; they’re
siblings, yet they still love each other deeply. Don’t applymon people’s norms to the aristocracy!
It’s ridiculous!”
