Chapter 1442
Old Mr. Summerton appeared pleasantly surprised. “I’m
afraid the Summerton family is too small to be useful to
international giants!”
Yasmine smiled. “The Summerton family has been a
noble lineage in Chanaea for a century. If even the
Summerton family is considered small, then there may
not be any major families in Chanaea!”
Hearing this, Old Mr. Summerton was rather surprised,
and he burst intoughter. “Please refrain from mocking
the Summerton family further. Chanaea has long
abolished the aristocracy system. Our family is simply a
fading ancient lineage, devoid of real influence now!”
Yasmine disregarded his humility and stated bluntly, “The

covert Summerton family stillmands numerous
armed forces, possessing formidable military might! Your
family in Onza also maintains extensive partnerships with
weapon manufacturers. Who would dare underestimate
you? We at Airspace Group are interested in acquiring
some of your ndestine factories. Perhaps you could
opt to supply us with advanced weaponry?”
Old Mr. Summerton’s expression turned serious as he
responded, “I have distanced myself from the affairs of
the Summerton family for many years. Approaching me
for such matters is futile!”
“Well, shall I seek out your son then? Or your grandson?
Do you believe they are capable? I’ve heard that your
grandsoncks the courage to marry the woman he
loves!” Yasmine remarked unabashedly.

After a moment of contemtion, just as Yasmine was
about to depart, Old Mr. Summerton called out to her.
“Wait. Let me think about this!”
Yasmine’s lips curved up slightly. “Then I’ll give you until
the end of the Grand Martial Showdown to think about it,
Old Mr. Summerton. If you decline, I might consider
coborating with the Tanner family, though that could
be troublesome!”
Responding to the potent threat, Old Mr. Summerton
couldn’t help but inquire, “Do you also have ties with the
Tanner family of Zovince? What exactly is your agenda?
Are you aiming to disrupt the current global order?”
Whether it was Teddy or the Airspace Group, both
wielded immense power capable of toppling nations. If
they were indeed colluding behind the scenes, it wouldn’t

be surprising if they orchestrated something
monumental!
However, Yasmine simply sneered. “I’m sorry, I can’t
disclose that information!”
With that, she sauntered away.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel returned home to find the Quillen
sisters engrossed in their tasks.
Now that the branchpany was established, there
were many things, both significant and trivial, requiring
their attention.
“Emmanuel, you’re back? You might be in a
predicament!” Beatrix whispered to him.
Emmanuel’s expression froze instantly, and he forced a

Beatrix stuck out her tongue and suggested, “Go into
Mackenzie’s room ande clean!”
Emmanuel had no choice but to take Beatrix’s advice.
When had his rtionship with Mackenzie be so
delicate?
Nheless, he went into Mackenzie’s room.

pregnant? It was a good opportunity to find out.

“Yes, I’m back.” Emmanuel nodded and broached the
topic of Roselynn and Julian.
To his surprise, Mackenzie cut to the chase. “Why did
Ashton ask you to pretend to be her boyfriend?”
“Well, you see-” Emmanuel was caught off guard,
realizing this was the pressing issue.

“I just don’t understand. With so many men avable,
why did shee to you?” Mackenzie finally shifted her
gaze from the screen to him.
She didn’t wish to prolong the silent treatment because
she found it draining. So, she decided to address the
matter directly and convey her stance.
Although Emmanuel didn’t want her to be upset, he
knew it was better for her to express her feelings rather

than keep them bottled up. He quickly exined, “I was
taken by surprise when she asked me to cover for her.
I’m sorry! I should have declined right away!”
Mackenzie sighed and rified, “I wasn’t specifically
investigating you, and it’s not that I don’t trust you. Lexi,
who was also at the party, informed me about it!”

Emmanuel nodded, not ming Lexi. On the contrary,
having someone like her looking out for Mackenzie made
him feel reassured.
“Mackenzie, I was wrong. I promise I won’t cover for
anyone else in the future!”
