Chapter 436


    Felicity seemed unaware of Terence’s concerns and continued to smile while


    saying, “Dad, since it’s Gautier we’re talking about, wouldn’t he be a suitable


    match for Mackenzie? After all, he is also recognized as a business genius in


    Yeringham, and the business ns of our familiesplement each other!”


    “Shut up!” Terence interrupted angrily.


    She was slightly startled and beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She


    didn’t understand why Terence was so angry.


    “Felicity, setting aside the questions of whether Gautier is worthy of


    Mackenzie or not and if he is sincere or not, do you really think that the


    Verkade family can peacefully coexist with the Quillen family?”


    His question left her even more puzzled. She wore a face of innocence as she


    replied, “Do we have any deep-seated grudges against the Verkade family?”


    Terenceughed. “Felicity, are you genuinely ignorant or pretending not to


    know? Even if you don’t oversee the business affairs of the Quillen family, you


    must be aware of some major matters, right? We are directpetitors with


    the Verkade family in many fields. This year, when our strategic warehouse


    project waspleted, we directly snatched orders worth hundreds of


    millions from the Verkade family and their partners. They probably already


    harbor deep resentment toward us!”


    Felicity still wore a somewhat indifferent expression, as if she was listening to


    stories unrted to her, and there was even a hint of doubt in her expression.


    “Dad, perhaps it’s your sensitivity at y here. Competition is inevitable in


    business, but the Verkade family doesn’t treat us as enemies. Moreover, if the


    two families were to form a marriage alliance, many issues could be


    resolved smoothly. Isn’t turning enemies into friends the best oue for


    both sides?”


    Her naive words made Terence grow a little impatient. At this point, he had


    no choice but to speak his mind.


    “Am I being sensitive? Perhaps you don’t know how many assassinations


    attempts Mackenzie and I have faced. If it weren’t for Emmanuel, Mackenzie


    might have died long ago at the hands of the assassins sent by the Verkade


    family! And now you want Mackenzie to marry into the Verkade family? Isn’t


    that like throwing amb into a tiger’s den?”


    “Well…”


    Felicity fell silent. Although she didn’t continue speaking, she didn’t fully


    believe Terence either.


    After a momentary pause, she continued, “Regardless of whether what you


    say is true or not, I still feel that it’s a waste for Mackenzie to marry someone


    like Emmanuel. If you have biases against the Verkade family, we can


    consider someone from Zovince-”


    “Enough!” Terence couldn’t be bothered to continue the conversation and


    coldly interrupted Felicity. “When I asked you to choose someone for


    Mackenzie earlier, you were indifferent! Now that Mackenzie has found a man


    she likes, you want to step in and stop her? What kind of mother are you? As


    long as Mackenzie is happy, the Quillen family doesn’t need a family alliance


    to strengthen itself!”


    Felicity nodded helplessly. “I understand. Please excuse me then!”


    After speaking, she turned and walked away, her expression cold.


    As she walked out of the hall and into the corridor of the inner hall, she


    encountered Sarah.


    Sarah smiled at her and was seemingly amused. “Mom, why bother trying to


    interfere when you know that the Quillen family won’t listen to us?”


    Felicity’s face remained cold and she stayed silent.


    Sarah continued to smile and asked, “Why were you so enthusiastic this


    time? After all, you’re known as the most indifferent person in the Quillen


    family!”


    Felicity finally exined, “I’m from the Lenoir family, and Mackenzie is my


    daughter. I know for a fact that General Lenoir will go after Emmanuel, so if


    she continues to be with him, she will undoubtedly be an enemy of the


    Lenoir family. If that happens, I’ll be caught in the middle. What am I


    supposed to do then?”


    “I see.” Sarah’s eyes held a hint of suspicion as she cunningly smiled. “Mom, if I


    help you break Emmanuel and Mackenzie up, how will you repay me?”


    Felicity trembled slightly as she stared at Sarah’s cautious eyes. She didn’t

    feel like Sarah was her daughter at all.


    “I have no position in the Quillen family. I’m just an idle person. If you expect to


    gain something from me, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed!”


    Felicity calmly responded without showing any emotions.
