Chapter 994


    Alfred couldn’t help but lock eyes with Terence again, feeling a strong curiosity rising in his heart. Who


    exactly was this young man?


    Alfred had long known that Terence’s most remarkable trait was his insight. The Quillen family, as well


    as the people of Yeringham, all believed that Emmanuel was a social climber who sought favor with


    Mackenzie, but it could very well be that Mackenzie had attached herself to an extraordinary figure!


    Based solely on his medical skills, they dared to conclude that Emmanuel’s worth was definitely not


    inferior to anyone in the Quillen family!


    After finishing Marilyn’s treatment, Emmanuel let out a sigh of relief and said to Terence, “Grandpa,


    don’t worry. Her physique is strong, and she is not in any life-threatening danger now.”


    “Great! That’s great!”


    Terence’s expression showed a hint of excitement.


    The events of tonight had dealt a heavy blow to his heart.


    First, Alton died right in front of him, once again confirming his title as a harbinger of disaster. Every


    time he came back, there would be no good news.


    If a young woman like Marilyn were to die because of him as well, he would only feel more guilty!


    Now that Alton was dead, he was certainly heartbroken, but with Marilyn saved, he finally got some


    mental relief.


    Alton was a foreman, and with his death, the operation of the iron mine naturally came to a halt.


    The next morning, Terence dealt with Alton’s affairs together with his two sons.


    One of them was Oscar.

    Emmanuel also stayed at the iron mine but did not get involved in Alton’s affairs. He just curiously took


    a stroll around and discovered that the mine was huge. That being said, it had been mined for many


    years, so many ces had already been depleted.


    Not only that, the mine was located in the mountains, and some areas were very dangerous and


    unsuitable for mining.


    Behind the mine was an empty valley with a tranquil environment and morning mist, giving it a


    somewhat ethereal feel.


    Emmanuel greedily took a breath of fresh air and instantly felt refreshed, all exhaustion leaving his


    body.


    After taking a stroll and leaving the mine, Emmanuel noticed that this ce was once again.


    surrounded by arge number of people early in the morning.


    But this time, it wasn’t the troublemaking thugs but the miners from the mine.


    82%


    Anchortown was rtively poor and backward, and there were not manypanies that could provide


    employment. This iron mine had been operating for decades and had always been the ce with the


    most workers in town.


    Now that Alton had died, ording to thew, the mining rights should be inherited by his son.


    However, the mining rights were about to expire, and the mine had been continuously losing money


    due to poor management. Alton had been using his own savings to pay the miners’ wages.


    Now that Alton had passed away, and neither of his two sons wanted to inherit the mining rights, the


    miners were worried about losing their jobs and their source of ie. So, they had alle to Mr.


    Harrison, who was still at the mine, to petition him!


    Faced with such a significant problem, Mr. Harrison was initially at a loss. After all, there weren’t many


    wealthy businessmen in town. Luckily, Terence happened to return to invest in his hometown, so Mr.


    Harrison earnestly requested him to acquire the iron mine in order to maintain the stability of


    the town’s livelihood!


    “Mr. Harrison, it’s not that I don’t want to help… Sigh! Anyway, I have to consider it carefully and can’t


    promise you for now!”


    In response to Mr. Harrison’s request, Terence did not immediately agree because he also had his


    hands tied!


    This mine had been mined for so many years, and the prime investment period had long passed. The


    difficulty of further mining would only increase, and the chances of losses were extremely high!


    How could Terence, who had been in business for so many years, not consider this?


    Although the Quillen family was wealthy and influential, with such arge investment and with a ny


    percent chance of losing everything, he could not disregard his family business for the sake of


    sentiment!


    “Old Mr. Quillen, I understand your concerns, but please, think of a solution!”


    Mr. Harrison was a good official who cared about the well-being of the town’s people. He bowed ny


    degrees to Terence, pleading.


    “Harrison, you should stop bothering Old Mr. Quillen. Let him rest for a while first! He hasn’t slept for


    two days since yesterday, and he is physically and mentally exhausted. I’m worried that he won’t be


    able to handle it!”


    It was Alfred who spoke up and sent Mr. Harrison away.


    Afterward, Alfred quickly and quietly escorted Terence out of the mine and back to Crimson Banner for


    dinner and rest.


    Once they entered the hotel room, Alfred quickly persuaded Terence, “Old Mr. Quillen, take a rest for


    the night. Let’s leave everything else for tomorrow!”
