    Chapter 855 Cross My Fingers


    “She’s right, Felicity! You have no right to hang around us after you give us nothing in return!”


    “Go back to your beloved Lenoir family and leave the money to them all you want!”


    Sophie and Hannah jumped at the chance to second Samantha’s words when Felicity refused to


    budge.

    Felicity, who had had enough of them, finally burst. She mmed her fist on the table as she pushed


    her chair back, pointing an using finger at the Quillens. “You’re one to talk. Over the years, you


    Quillens have never granted me any real power or provided any financial aid to me! You give me


    nothing! Not even a share of my husband’s inheritance! Now that you need money, you finally


    remember that I exist, huh? Where do you want me to get that money? Do you really expect me to ask


    the Lenoir family for money only to help you?”


    Atst, she harrumphed and concluded, “Come to think about it, some people here are truly


    shameless. I believe I don’t even need to point it out.”


    Both sides almost started arguing again. Before Terence could stop them, Mackenzie coldly interrupted


    them. “That’s enough!”


    Her voice was gentle, and she didn’t have the air of dignity as her grandfather. Even so, the intensity of


    her aura managed to hush the elders. “Just keep the money for yourselves. I’ll find another way to


    solve the crisis of the Terence Group.”


    After that, she left the table and walked away.


    Watching her retreating back, the Quillen sisters and Felicity sneered at each other onest time before


    turning their heads away.


    “That’s all for today.” Terence had no patience for a catfight. So, he rose to his feet and returned to his


    room. with Alfred’s help..


    The worried look on his face didn’t go unnoticed by Alfred. The butler couldn’t help but console his


    master. “Old Mr. Quillen, you once said you wanted to pass the baton to the younger generation. What


    are you still worrying about?”


    Terence heaved a long sigh at Alfred’s question. “I did intend to do so, but the challenge is


    overwhelming. I’m afraid theyck the experience and capabilities to ovee the challenge.”


    “But I have faith in Emmanuel and Ms. Mackenzie.”

    Alfred sped his hands under his sleeves as he slowly borated, “Old Mr. Quillen, you’re too


    involved that you couldn’t see things from another perspective. Do you remember Emmanuel’s


    attitude? He wouldn’t have exuded such confidence if he was bluffing.”


    Alfred’s words took Terence aback, but he eventually nodded.


    Truth was, Emmanuel’s confidence earlier caught his eye as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed


    silent and allowed Emmanuel’s speech.


    “Old Mr. Quillen, just rx!” Alfred continued, “Have faith in your judgment. Since you have made your


    choice, the best we can do now is wait and see.”


    Convinced, Terence let out a sigh of relief and chuckled. “You’re right. Since there’s no turning back, I


    might as well cross my fingers.”


    Meanwhile, Emmanuel was waiting for Mackenzie in the courtyard’s parking lot.


    Meanwhile, Emmanuel was waiting for Mackenzie in the courtyard’s parking lot.


    He didn’t have to wait long before she walked out of the manor.


    As she approached him, he cast her a smile.


    “You fool, there’s nothing to smile for!” She immediately scolded him when she noticed his smile, “Are


    you out of your mind? How could you say such things not once but twice? Your ignorance for sure got


    the best of you that you didn’t suspect any potential challenge! Do you have any idea what a


    technology blockade is?”


    Emmanuel was at a loss for words after Mackenzie shot him a series of questions. It took him a while


    to process her words. When he finally spoke, he didn’t expect to hear the exact same words from her.


    “Anyway, I’ll handle this matter-”


    As they trailed off, the pair stared at each other in disbelief. Funny enough, they blurted out at the same


    time again. “That’s my line!”


    The coincidence surprised them.


    A thin smile cracked Mackenzie’s beautiful but cold face before she burst intoughter.


    Emmanuel was mesmerized by this side of her, and he couldn’t tear his eyes from her face. She’s


    beautiful.


    Little did he know, his sister-inw, Beatrix, had followed Mackenzie out of the manor and happened to


    witness their interaction.
