Chapter 829
“I want to help Emmanuel’s sister start her own business. Since you’re no
longer interested in running that little shop, why not transfer it to her?”
Mackenzie was direct. “I can give you equivalent money or something else in
return.”
However, before Felicity could respond, a stern voice cut in. “Felicity Lenoir!
What do you think you’re doing coming back here?! You can forget about
taking or giving anything away; I’ll tell you that!”
Slightly startled, Felicity looked up to see Samantha pointing at her and
cursing. Moreover, Sophie and Hannah cast hostile and cold glares at her as
if they wanted to skin her alive.
Felicity, initially composed, turned grim instantly.
Mackenzie quickly signaled Felicity with her eyes to endure it. She needed to
hold back, or if an argument broke out, it would only make it harder for her to
return to the Quillen family.
“Mackenzie, what are you doing? Why are you so close to that woman?”
Samantha stormed over when she saw Felicity tightly holding Mackenzie’s
hand, forcefully separating the two.
Having had enough of it, Felicity held Mackenzie’s hand tighter and rebuked,
“Are you out of your mind, Samantha?! I am Mackenzie’s mother, and no one,
not even God, has any say in how close my daughter and I are. So, who do
you think you are?!”
“You-” Samantha’s eyes reddened slightly, and she pointed angrily at
Felicity’s nose. “It still remains a question whether you’re Mackenzie’s mother
or not!”
Knowing that the two were about to get physical, Mackenzie finally stood
between them, separating them. “Aunt Samantha, calm down! Felicity is still
a member of our family. Can’t we discuss things peacefully?”
Alas, her words only made Samantha even angrier. She had treated
Mackenzie like her own since she was little, and now she felt a heartbreaking
sensation of betrayal.
“Well, if we’re going to discuss matters, why didn’t you call us all together?
Why did you secretly discuss things with that woman?!”
Hannah was the least forgiving with words among them. Plus, her emotional
connection to Mackenzie wasn’t as deep as Samantha’s, so her words were
harsh.
“Huh, who are you all to interfere between Mackenzie and me?!” Felicity
retorted coldly. “You all think you’re so high and mighty. So what if you’re a
Quillen?! You’re all but women! Sooner or later, you will be married off and
leave this family, becoming outsiders!”
“That’s enough, Felicity.” Mackenzie couldn’t help stopping Felicity. They had
just agreed to calm the internal strife, yet she was provoking her aunts like
this, only deepening the contradictions.
Sure enough, Sophie immediately joined the fray, barking, “Why doesn’t it
concern us?! I just heard Mackenzie say that she wants to repurchase the
brand store from you. Don’t forget, it was taken away from us by you many
years ago!”
“I heard it, too!” Hannah’s attack was even more aggressive. Her focus wasn’t
only on Felicity but also directly on Mackenzie. “Don’t you know the current
situation in Terence Group, Mackenzie? How can you still give away the
Quillen family’s assets to others? The husband you’ve chosen will be even
harder to deal with than Felicity in the future. Sooner or later, he’ll devour the
Quillen family! He’s an incubus!”
Mackenzie furrowed her brows slightly, and her eyelashes trembled lightly.
She was quite upset with the way her aunt painted Emmanuel. She knew
better than anyone else the kind of person he was. Alas, she was in a
sensitive position to be explaining.
She knew that the more she defended Emmanuel, the more hostile her aunts
would become, thinking that he was deceiving her.
“Who told you the grandson-in-law I chose will devour our family?!” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Terence happened to walk out with Emmanuel at this critical moment and
shouted angrily.
The several Quillen women were surprised to see Emmanuel. They had no
“Hmph, I said it!” Hannah, while respectful of Terence, still held her ground.
“Look at Emmanuel. He’s already helping his sister to get assets from
Mackenzie. He’s even more shameless than Felicity!”
