Chapter 353
The following day, Terence showed up at the Terence Group, and despite
being thepany’s chairman, he rarely set foot in the office. Since handing
over thepany to Mackenzie several years ago, he had only been in the
office less than twice a year. When everyone witnessed his gloomy
countenance as he stormed in, they were ovee with fear. Even the
executives quavered as they greeted him, while some lower–ranking
employees were too terrified to approach him. Afterward, he marched
straight into his granddaughter’s office.
However, she scowled when she heard someone burst into her office. No one
has ever been so bold; does this person have a death wish? When she
looked up and saw her grandfather and Alfred standing there, she jumped to
her feet. “Grandpa, why are you here?”
“Do you want me to die out of anger?” While saying this, Terence angrily
tapped his cane on the floor. “Didn’t I tell you that you are not allowed to get a
divorce? I told you to give me a great–grandchild! Do you not listen to a word
I say? Do you honestly believe I would not take back what I’ve given you?”
I would have cursed the living daylights out of whoever threatened me if it
wasn’t Grandpa! However, Mackenzie chose not to argue against what her
grandfather had said and not because she was afraid to. Then, she averted
her gaze and remained silent.
When Terrence saw her acting in such a way, it infuriated him even more. I
can dismiss her and leave thepany to the other women in the Quillen
family, but none of them are as talented as her.
“Ms. Mackenzie, your grandfather has a heart condition. Please think of his
aging body!” Alfred could not resist speaking up in an effort to sway her mind.
“It’s not my fault, Grandpa.” Finally, Mackenzie exined, albeit grudgingly, “I
gave Emmanuel a chance, but not only has he refused to admit he has done
anything wrong, but he also continues to flirt around with udette. What do
you want me to do?”
“You… Oh…” Ultimately, Terence sighed because he knew how obstinate his
granddaughter was, and he could do nothing once she dug her heels in.
What on earth is Emmanuel doing? I have warned him beforehand that she’s
the type who needs to be charmed into doing anything; she’s not one to put
her feelings into words. I also reminded him to say sweet nothings to her and
That brat! At the end of the day, he said nothing and continued to flirt with
udette. How infuriating!
At that thought, he said, “Wait and see! I’ll make that brat exin himself!”
On the other hand, he had not wanted to stage an intervention since his
granddaughter had been pretending to be poor, and Emmanuel still did not
know the truth about her identity. Will he finallymit to my granddaughter
instead of flirting around if he discovers she is Mackenzie Quillen of the great
Quillen family, a woman of equal wealth and social standing to udette?
While he did not believe Emmanuel was that type of man, Terence thought-
“It’s toote, Grandpa. I’ve ordered Mr. Castro to finish the divorce paperwork.
By now, I should be legally divorced.” Then, Mackenzie continued coldly,
“There’s no turning back. No matter what, I would never get married to
Emmanuel again.”
“Well, Mackenzie, what if Mr. Castro hasn’t done it yet? Will you still insist on
divorcing Emmanuel?” Suddenly, Beatrix strides into the room, chuckling and
sticking her tongue out at Mackenzie while speaking.
As everyone in the room was not as dúmb as rocks, they all knew what her
implicit message was.
“What do you mean by that, Beatrix? What did you do?” While asking,
Mackenzie scowled and shot Beatrix with a frigid re.
Beatrix shuddered in fear upon seeing this.
Nevertheless, Terence reacted instantly and quickly defended her. “You did
well, Beatrix!”
At that instant, Beatrix did not need to say another word for the others to
know she had done something about the divorce.
