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 slammed her fist on the table as she pushed her chair back,
pointing an accusing 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?”
At last, 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.”

“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 one last 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
they lack the experience and capabilities to overcome the challenge.”
“But I have faith in Emmanuel and Ms. Mackenzie.”
Alfred clasped his hands under his sleeves as he slowly elaborated, “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 relax!” 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, 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 into laughter.
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-in-law, Beatrix, had followed Mackenzie out of the manor and happened to witness their
interaction.
