Chapter 863 Shadows in Paradise
Yeringham, Terence Group.
Lexi adjusted her sses and entered Mackenzie’s office, holding a stack of files and documents.
“Ms. Quillen, here are thepanies with the extraction technology you requested. Please take a
look.”
“Great!”
As Mackenzie opened the files, her expression grew more severe with each word she read.

Lexi could tell from her frown what was troubling her. He exined, “Out of the twenty-threepanies
in the country with the technology, only seven meet Terence Group’s requirements. Unfortunately, five
have already announced the termination of cooperation with us, and the Oatley Family has
unexpectedly changed their stance. Now, the only viable option left is thepany of the Chapman
family.”
Wasting no time, Mackenzie closed the files and instructed Lexi, “Help me contact the person in charge
of the Chapman family.”
“Okay.” Lexi nodded solemnly. “I’ll give it a try.”
The Chapman family was an extensive and robust superfamily with many domestically and
internationally assets. However, contacting the person in charge of theirpany took a lot of work!
Mackenzie knew this well, but the mysterious consortium behind her wanted to deal with the Quillen
Family. They had already bribed sixpanies, and the only one they did not bribe was the Chapman
family’s.pany.
She was anxious about the potential danger the Quillen Family could face if the Chapman family
wished to deal with them.
After all, when the wealthiest family in Yeringham faced the Chapman family, the top family in the
country and even the world, they became powerless!
However, to her surprise, Lexi brought her good news in the evening.
“Ms. Quillen, I have contacted the person in charge of the Chapman family’spany. He replied that
theirpany is willing to cooperate with the Quillen Family, but there is one condition.”
“What condition?”
Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
Mackenzie’s eyes lit up.
She and Emmanuel had promised they would handle this matter properly.
“Mr. Chapman requests Ms. Quillen to negotiate with him personally.”
“What?”
Hearing this request, Mackenzie furrowed her brows slightly.
This request was reasonable since the twopanies had never cooperated, so it was natural for the
boss to negotiate in person for the first time.

Lexi added, “Ms. Quillen, this request is very reasonable, but…” She spoke in a hushed tone after a
moment of silence. “I heard that this Mr. Chapman is a yer with countless girlfriends. He invited you,
and I’m concerned he has ulterior motives…”
Mackenzie remained silent.
Despite having yet to travel abroad for business before, she knew it was possible to happen as she
was the new female CEO of Terence Group.
With thepany facing a life-or-death situation, Mackenzie knew she needed to take action as the
female CEO of Terence Group, even if it meant facing potential dangers.
“Book a flight ticket and arrange bodyguards for me, Lexi. Also, inform Mr. Chapman that I will be there
tomorrow.”
“Huh? Yes!”
Lexi was surprised yet unsurprised when Mackenzie made a firm decision and immediately took action
to make arrangements for her.
As she took a few steps away, she returned and asked, “Ms. Quillen, would you like us to bring your
husband along?”
Lexi believed that having Emmanuel with them would increase Mackenzie’s safety.
However, Mackenzie sighed and responded, “He left the country today.”
She cursed inwardly after speaking. Tell the idiot not to interfere. I can handle this matter alone.
“Okay, Ms. Quillen. I will make the arrangements right away!”
Lexi sighed, hoping Mackenzie’s negotiations would go smoothly this time.
On the other side, Ashton had already arrived at the waiting hall of Yeringham Airport, preparing to
board the ne alone.
Captain Payne’s words echoed in her mind.
‘Ashton, I approve of your trip to Yeternia to seek Emmanuel’s assistance in solving the case. However,
due to the sensitive nature of this case, I have assigned the task to you and authorized your travel
expenses.’
‘Your additional task is to apprehend a woman named Xylie Tanner and bring her back to Yeringham for
trial.”
‘ording to the provided information, she is used of murdering her adoptive father and
subsequently fleeing to Yeternia on her own.”
Ashton turned on her phone again and reviewed Xylie Tanner’s information while unable to suppress a
sigh.
She appears so gentle and beautiful and used to be the campus belle. Surprisingly, she couldmit
murder!
Why is the world soplex? Yet, they cannot escape my hand of justice as long as they are guilty!
Ashton clenched her fist tightly, murmuring while looking at Xylie’s photo. Yet, Emmanuel’s image
intruded on her thoughts.
Hmph! With sufficient evidence, I will send that b*stard to prison sooner orter!
Meanwhile, in Yeternia, Emmanuel and the ck-d men arrived at an ind.
The Chapman family had exclusively procured this ind for Nathan’s leisure and enjoyment.
“Mr. Chapman is vacationing at the private beach, Mr. Lowe. Please proceed inside and locate him.”
The man in ck respectfully directed Emmanuel, leading him to the entrance of a walled area.-
“Sure!”
Emmanuel nodded, and as soon as the door creaked open, he cautiously entered.
At first, he had some reservations, but when he heard the soothing sound of the wayes and the
enchantingughter of women, his body instantly stiffened as if frozen in ce.
Before his eyes stretched to a private beach adorned with many beautiful women, they weren’t the
primary focus; their revealing swimsuits grabbed attention. Tall or short, fat or thin, each woman
exhibited unique features and charm!
Some of them lounged on the beach, sunbathing carefreely and applying sunscreen without inhibitions.
Others formed yful groups, frolicking in the sand and surf.
It resembled a paradise for men, a surreal scene that most couldn’t imagine. Yet, here it was, vividly
presented before Emmanuel.
Thanks to Emmanuel’s previous experience as a gynecologist, he possessed exceptional self-control.
Otherwise, if an ordinary man suddenly found himself in such a ce, he might have a nosebleed on
the spot.
Emmanuel wanted to leave, but he had to locate Nathan quickly and assist in resolving Mackenzie’s
company issues. He steeled himself and approached the crowd, hoping to spot Nathan among the
women.
However, Emmanuel quickly became disappointed.
There were over seventy women on the beach, and he was the only man besides himself.
What is happening? Something amiss.
Does the man in ck deceive me?
Just as Emmanuel started to feel confused, a cold reprimand cut through the air beside him.
“Hey, who are you? It is not a ce for someone like you to enter! Leave immediately!”
