A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436 

Felicity seemed unaware of Terence’s concerns and continued to smile while 

saying, “Dad, since it’s Gautier we’re talking about, wouldn’t he be a suitable 

match for Mackenzie? After all, he is also recognized as a business genius in 

Yeringham, and the business plans of our families complement each other!” 

“Shut up!” Terence interrupted angrily. 

She was slightly startled and beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She 

didn’t understand why Terence was so angry. 

“Felicity, setting aside the questions of whether Gautier is worthy of 

Mackenzie or not and if he is sincere or not, do you really think that the 

Verkade family can peacefully coexist with the Quillen family?” 

His question left her even more puzzled. She wore a face of innocence as she 

replied, “Do we have any deep-seated grudges against the Verkade family?” 

Terence laughed. “Felicity, are you genuinely ignorant or pretending not to 

know? Even if you don’t oversee the business affairs of the Quillen family, you 

must be aware of some major matters, right? We are direct competitors with 

the Verkade family in many fields. This year, when our strategic warehouse 

project was completed, we directly snatched orders worth hundreds of 

millions from the Verkade family and their partners. They probably already 

harbor deep resentment toward us!” 

Felicity still wore a somewhat indifferent expression, as if she was listening to 

stories unrelated to her, and there was even a hint of doubt in her expression. 

“Dad, perhaps it’s your sensitivity at play here. Competition is inevitable in 

business, but the Verkade family doesn’t treat us as enemies. Moreover, if the 

two families were to form a marriage alliance, many issues could be 

resolved smoothly. Isn’t turning enemies into friends the best outcome for 

both sides?” 

Her naive words made Terence grow a little impatient. At this point, he had 

no choice but to speak his mind. 

“Am I being sensitive? Perhaps you don’t know how many assassinations 

attempts Mackenzie and I have faced. If it weren’t for Emmanuel, Mackenzie 

might have died long ago at the hands of the assassins sent by the Verkade 

family! And now you want Mackenzie to marry into the Verkade family? Isn’t 

that like throwing a lamb into a tiger’s den?” 

“Well…” 

Felicity fell silent. Although she didn’t continue speaking, she didn’t fully 

believe Terence either. 

After a momentary pause, she continued, “Regardless of whether what you 

say is true or not, I still feel that it’s a waste for Mackenzie to marry someone 

like Emmanuel. If you have biases against the Verkade family, we can 

consider someone from Zovince-” 

“Enough!” Terence couldn’t be bothered to continue the conversation and 

coldly interrupted Felicity. “When I asked you to choose someone for 

Mackenzie earlier, you were indifferent! Now that Mackenzie has found a man 

she likes, you want to step in and stop her? What kind of mother are you? As 

long as Mackenzie is happy, the Quillen family doesn’t need a family alliance 

to strengthen itself!” 

Felicity nodded helplessly. “I understand. Please excuse me then!” 

After speaking, she turned and walked away, her expression cold. 

As she walked out of the hall and into the corridor of the inner hall, she 

encountered Sarah. 

Sarah smiled at her and was seemingly amused. “Mom, why bother trying to 

interfere when you know that the Quillen family won’t listen to us?”
