Chapter 1165 Can I Try?
Then, she swept her haughty gaze across everyone beforending smugly on Beatrix, who was feeling
a mix of emotions, mostly nervousness.
Lo and behold, the machinery emitted a sizzling sound, making one’s scalps tingle.
“Oh no, this is the prelude to failure!” a researcher immediately eximed.
“Lara, shut down the equipment now!” Mackenzie promptly ordered.
Proud and wholly confident seconds ago, Lara was now caught off guard by the unexpected. However,
she was still reluctant to stop when the results had yet toe out.
As she hesitated, the storage container burst open with a boom.
“Ah!” Lara screamed, watching the explosive fragments flying toward her.
Just when she thought she was doomed, a figure quickly tackled her to the ground, saving her from
harm.
“Emmanuel?!” Mackenzie involuntarily eximed, hurrying over.
“Lara!”
“Lara, are you okay!”
The older Quillendies also hurried forward. Terence, too, went to inquire about the situation with the
support of his cane.
Fortunately, Emmanuel tackled Lara in time, preventing her from getting hurt.
However, Lara didn’t even say thank you. She quickly got up, stared at the burst container with wide
eyes, and eximed in confusion, “Why… Pourquoi?!”
Seeing Lara in her current state, Beatrix couldn’t help but chuckle. If she took a picture of Lara’s current
appearance, it would surely ward off evil spirits if hung on the wall.
Everyone wore a disappointed expression. The older Quillendies sighed, expressing a transition from
hope to disappointment for Lara.
In the eyes of their elders, Lara was a genius in this field, a potential future star of the Quillen family
who deserved special attention. Yet, it hade to this….
“Mackenzie, how about I give it a try? I might know where the problem lies,” Emmanuel volunteered
suddenly.
“What?!” the older Quillendies eximed immediately.
Beatrix was equally surprised. She had no idea her brother-inw had such abilities.
Even Mackenzie was clueless about this. However, she didn’t express as much surprise as others.
Instead, she looked at Emmanuel and asked seriously, “Are you really sure about this?”

Emmanuel nodded.
The older Quillendies exchanged nces.
Lara immediately scoffed, “Huh, don’t pretend! How can you possibly seed when even I failed to
understand something so profound?! Forget it. You won’t seed. Don’t try your luck!”
Emmanuel didn’t respond.
Instead, Beatrix retorted, “What, you’re allowed to try your luck and fail, but others aren’t allowed to try
their luck and seed?!”
“Beatrix! I’ve tolerated you long enough!” Lara, talented in academics but emotionally immature, could
easily be provoked to anger. She roared while rushing toward Beatrix “You have no skills yourself,
always envious of me! Always wanting to see me fail! I’ll show you who’s boss!”
“I was just speaking the truth. Was I wrong?”
The cousins refused to back down.
“Enough!” Terence roared.
Mackenzie, who had intended to speak up to halt the bickering, no longer needed to.
Everyone turned their attention to Terence, who let out a long sigh, his eyes unable to hide the
disappointment in Lara. He had believed she was talented in this field, but to his dismay, she failed.
Failing in research experiments was not a big deal; after all, the key to sess was failure. However,
her subsequent response to setbacks was regrettable.
“Emmanuel, you give it a try,” Terence continued.
What?! The older Quillendies were surprised.
The other researchers were also quite astonished. Isn’t Emmanuel just Ms. Quillen’s driver and the
Deputy Director of the Commerce Department? Does he really know what all this is?
“Okay!” Emmanuel didn’t dawdle. With Terence’s permission, he immediately reced the storage
container.
Lara deliberately behaved as if scared and quickly fled the testing area.
“Hmph, Beatrix is right about one thing-I don’t want to die because of your failure!”
