Chapter 827


    “Felicity, the grievances between you and Aunt Samantha, I find it regrettable.


    There are issues on both sides, but I truly hope that you both don’t continue


    this conflict indefinitely, and I certainly don’t wish to see you aligning with


    outsiders to go against the Quillen family,” Mackenzie continued, her gaze a


    mix of regret and a touch of displeasure.


    “Mackenzie, I… I…” Felicity’s eyes turned red-rimmed, her expression tinged


    with guilt. She struggled to find the right words to respond to Mackenzie.


    She had indeed teamed up with outsiders, returned to steal, and even


    nned to undermine the Quillen family’s business with outsiders.


    All she wanted was to reim what belonged to her and help her family and


    older brother rise in the business world. But now, her older brother was no


    longer with the Lenoir family, and the Lenoir family was no longer the same


    as before. Yet, she found herself in a bitter conflict with the Quillen family.


    This was never her original intention!


    “Felicity, I understand the kind of upbringing you’ve had and the environment.


    you grew up in. Your father, your older brother, everyone told you that you


    carry the blood of the Lenoir family, and you’re meant to contribute to the


    Lenoir family’s growth and prosperity,” Mackenzie continued. “Perhaps that


    isn’t entirely wrong, just like how our members of the Quillen family contribute


    to our family’s cause. So, I can understand you, and I can also understand


    Aunt Samantha.


    “But there must be other ways to resolve our differences rather than


    constantly fighting, causing pain to those who care about you while bringing


    joy to your enemies, right?”


    These words had been buried in Mackenzie’s heart for many years.


    When she was younger and not in control of the Terence Group, shecked


    the position and authority to speak her mind.


    Even after she became the head of the Quillen family’s business, her


    personality, status, and position kept her from fully opening up to Felicity. If


    not for Emmanuel encouraging her twice to mend her rtionship with


    Felicity, she wouldn’t have been able to express herself now.


    “Yes, Mackenzie, you’re right!” Felicity nodded repeatedly, tears mixed with a


    smile.


    Her conversation with Mackenzie now nearly amounted to a year’s length of


    conversations in the past.


    “The inheritance from Father was distributed through a will. Grandpa didn’t


    intend to withhold it from you forcibly.” Mackenzie continued to reason. “The


    Quillen family’s animosity toward you stemmed from your consistent favor of


    the Lenoir family. Reflect on this: Has the Quillen family treated you poorly? If


    Grandpa truly doesn’t consider you his daughter-inw, will he have chosen


    to overlook your theft and assault in the Quillen residence when he had


    enough evidence to throw you in prison?”


    Her words made Felicity tremble slightly.


    “Felicity, have you be a pawn for others?” Mackenzie finally delivered a


    fatal blow to Felicity. “I hope you have your own thoughts and not be a


    puppet led by others for your whole life. Think about what is most important


    to you!”


    “Yes, what is truly important for me?”


    Felicity seemed somewhat lost, her current state contrasting greatly with her


    usual elegant demeanor.


    She had always thought that what she was doing was for her family and her


    older brother, but after returning to the Lenoir residence for a time, she


    realized that the Lenoir family was also just a puppet for others.


    udette was already dead, Adolph had been forced away, Quintus had left


    the Lenoir family for his freedom, and now, Laura was controlling the Lenoir


    family, with others pulling the strings from behind.


    Additionally, her parents had passed long ago.


    Was the Lenoir family the same as the one she remembered? Were there


    any reasons left for her to cling to the current Lenoir family?


    “Come back to the Quillen family. Don’t foolishly oppose your own family and


    daughter for the interests of others!”


    While Mackenzie was the CEO of apany, she wasn’t good at heartfelt


    conversations. Her conversation with Felicity that day was already a major


    breakthrough for her. It was all thanks to that foolish Emmanuel that she was


    able to change.


    “But… will your aunts ept my return?” Felicity trembled as she spoke.


    After learning of Magnus’ intentions earlier that day, she also felt rather

    fearful. She realized how ridiculous her previous words were. She was never a


    ruthless woman.


    “If you genuinely want toe back, I will vouch for you!”
