“Please hurry. The conference is about to begin.”
Mackenzie wasn''t sure why she added thatst sentence. She was fully capable of handling the membership application defense on her own. However, she always felt morefortable with Emmanuel by her side, so she couldn’t help but wish for his prompt return.
“Of course!”
Emmanuel nodded and exited the room.
Outside, he ran into Lexi, who was dressed formally and appeared quite serious.
“Emmanuel, has Ms. Quillen arrived?”
“She''s already there.”
“Thank you. I''ll go find her right away.”
“You''re wee.”
After his response, he inquired casually, “Lexi, why do you seem so nervous?”
Only then did Lexi turn around and sigh. “I just discovered that my family may have some animosity toward the Quillen family. They have always held the position of vice president in the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce. I''m concerned that Ms. Quillen will be deliberately troubled today.”
Since this topic had been brought up, Emmanuel also wondered. “Why does your family hold hostility toward the Quillens?”
“Well...”
Lexi sighed softly again and said, “This seems to be rted to you. My aunt seems to have harbored resentment toward the Quillens because of what happened between Julian and your sister, or maybe because of your rtionship with Ashton. But I''m not very clear about it either!”
Upon hearing this, Emmanuel couldn''t help but furrow his brow even more. He could somewhatprehend the situation with Julian and his sister, but did Althea need to interfere in his normal rtionship with Ashton as well?
How little regard she must have for Emmanuel and her sister?
Lexi didn’t borate further. She simply signaled Emmanuel and entered the venue swiftly.
Emmanuel also went off to locate Aidan. Dealing with this yboy would be easier than handling Magnus as Aidan was too arrogant and talkative!This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Aidan had just spoken so much that Emmanuel suspected he must have some n to confront the Quillens. And during the time before the meeting, he might even resort to extreme measures.
At that moment, a ck Rolls-Royce pulled up to the venue, followed by another Rolls-Royce and two security vehicles.
The scene wasn''t overly grand, but the venue staff promptly ushered a group of individuals to wee them.
Stanley and Ang emerged from the first Rolls-Royce.

Stanley and Ang emerged from the first Rolls-Royce.
The Rolls-Royce behind was upied by ze and his father, Oliver Silverbane.
Their expressions weren''t too pleasant, not because they were Stanley''s eldest son and grandson, but because Stanley chose to sit with Ang, his granddaughter. It was evident that there were underlying dynamics within the Silverbane family.
As the president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, Stanley engaged with various individuals and media reporters after alighting from the vehicle, while Ang strolled by his side.
Ang remained silent until she caught sight of a familiar dar parked not far from the venue, along with the recognizable license te number, causing her delicate frame to tremble slightly.
She tugged at Stanley discreetly and whispered, “Grandpa, look at that car!”
Stanley halted his interactions with others and peered over. He was equally taken aback. Wasn''t that the Maserati fromst night?
Did the Wolf Warrior alsoe to today’s meeting?

Even if he wasn''t the Wolf Warrior, Stanley and Ang YeTe gegen i mgethe marttoeXpreds their gratitude and repay him for saving their lives the previous night. Soon, Emmanuel observed Aidan and the bald man entering an office within the meeting venue.

he couldn''t help but be slightly surprised.
“Hey, Mr. Summerton. Hello there!” The bald man warmly greeted him, extending his hand for a friendly shake with Zaiden.
“Excuse me, may I ask who you are?” Zaiden furrowed his brow slightly. He sensed that the bald man looked familiar, but couldn’t quite ce him at that moment.
“Oh, Mr. Summerton. This is Ewan Byrne, the president of the Witchona Chamber of Commerce!” Aidan chimed in.... with a smile as he introduced the man.
Suddenly, it all clicked for Zaiden!
It dawned on him why the man seemed so recognizable-the Witchona Chamber of Commerce BN) not asepRdblevfdatizetion r oghized nationally, but rather a small group of traders from coastal towns in Nuthana known for engaging in illicit activities. Their wrongdoings had even been exposed on television in the past.
