Chapter 652


    But it was Emmanuel, and a sweet sensation instantly filled her heart.


    “I’m in a meeting!”


    Upon hearing Mackenzie’s response, Emmanuel hummed a response and


    was about to let her get back to her work when she blurted, “By the way,


    since you called, I have something to ask you.”


    “What is it?” Emmanuel felt a twinge of guilt, worried that she had learned


    about him pretending to be Tia’s boyfriend. He was a little flustered.


    “The Lenoir family’s energypany is once againpeting with us in the


    market, and they seem determined to fight us to the end,” Mackenzie


    revealed straightforwardly.


    “What? How could this happen?” Emmanuel was instantly shocked and angry.


    Although Adolph was a little arrogant and looked down on others, Emmanuel


    had always respected him as a man and believed that he would keep his


    word. Who would have thought that just a few days after the ceasefire, they


    would stir up trouble again? Did he misjudge him?


    “Yeah. At first, I also thought it was General Lenoir breaking his promise, but


    Lexi dug into it and discovered that someone had swiftly acquired the Lenoir


    Group. It no longer belongs to the Lenoirs,” Mackenzie continued.


    “I see.” Emmanuel thought there might be more than met the eyes. “I


    remember going to the Lenoir residence on New Year’s Eve, and Quintus


    wasn’t at home. Maybe he was dealing with the acquisition of Lenoir Group at


    that time! It makes me wonder who’s the rich and powerful buyer.”


    “We haven’t found out yet.” Mackenzie rubbed her temples, sounding a bit


    weary. “Not only in the energy market, but someone is also aggressively


    acquiring our downstream energy product suppliers. It’s clear that they want


    to besiege the Quillens by shoving us out of the energy industry.”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    “Is there really someone with the power to control the entire industry?”


    Emmanuel was shocked.


    “Not so much as controlling the entire industry but rather thepanies


    rted to the Quillen family’s energy business,” Mackenzie exined.


    As they talked, a name came to Emmanuel’s mind–Magnus Zelinsky.


    He had been eyeing two things from the Quillen family, which must hold


    tremendous value. Perhaps the person behind these business activities was


    the Zelinsky family. As for their true intentions, Emmanuel didn’t dare to make


    hasty conclusions.


    “Thank you for telling me so much, Mackenzie.” Emmanuel was truly grateful


    to Mackenzie for willingly sharing these matters with him. It showed that she


    didn’t consider him an outsider and didn’t look down on him for not being


    able to help.


    “Since you’ve told me, I will definitely try my best to help you, too,” he added.


    “Silly!” Mackenzie chuckled. “How can you help? It’s New Year’s, and I’m still in


    a meeting at thepany, and we haven’t even figured out a strategy yet.”


    Emmanuel smiled and didn’t insist further. Instead, he said, “Either way, let me


    know if you need anything. Also, take care of yourself, and don’t attend


    meetings on an empty stomach!”


    “Got it!” Mackenzie replied. After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on


    her lips.


    It does feel better knowing that that idiot is concerned about me.


    She turned around, and to her surprise, Lexi and Beatrix were standing behind


    her, sniggering mischievously.


    “What are you two doing?” Mackenzie immediately wore a haughty


    expression on her face.


    Lexi shrugged, not daring to speak up, while Beatrix giggled. “My, my, is it me,


    or does this ce reek of love?! Someone sure is happy just after receiving a


    phone call. How jealous of me.”


    Gossip of her sister and brother–inw kissing the day before had already


    spread throughout the Quillen residence. As for the source of the gossip, they


    hadn’t found out yet. But Beatrix believed it must be the sly fox that was their


    grandfather, or no one in the entire household would dare spread gossip


    about Mackenzie.


    “Looks like you two are deeply in love. It must feel good, right?” the young


    woman continued to tease her sister until Mackenzie shot her an icy re,


    and she quickly shut up.


    Before Mackenzie could speak up, Beatrix stuck out her tongue and said, “I’m


    very, very busy! I’m going to contact our suppliers right away to see if they


    still want to cooperate with us after changing ownership. Well… no matter


    who the enemy is this time, I will help my sister ovee them.”
