Chapter 502 1
“Why, thank you!” Felicity responded with impeccable manners. “Terence
Group has been having some issues with cashflow recently, and Mackenzie
has been working so hard. We’re all concerned too. How we wish we could
help her!”
Emmanuel stiffened. Although he didn’t come from the upper echelon of
society and wasn’t well-versed with their manner of speech, he understood
what Felicity was hinting at. She thinks I’m going to ask Mackenzie for money!
Alas, she was yet another person who thought he was simply a pretty face
who relied on Mackenzie for everything.
Emmanuel was a little disgruntled, but he went along with it. “That’s right.
Mackenzie has a lot of things on her plate right now, so that’s why I’ll take up
the responsibility for all matters of the household. I won’t let her spare even a
moment of her time on something as trivial as shopping. I won’t spend any of
her money either.”
Once again, Felicity was startled. How is he going to afford tea that costs tens
of thousands if he doesn’t spend any of her money?
Nevertheless, since Emmanuel sounded so confident, Felicity decided to take
him at his word. She could always expose him once she had solid evidence
to back her up.
Since the company’s crisis had been brought up, Felicity nodded and
continued, “That’s true. Terence Group has quite a number of business rivals
cropping up lately. It’s unlikely that the Quillen family is their target. We’re all
worried about Mackenzie and doing our best to help her, but certain matters
have to be tackled at the root in order to resolve them. Wouldn’t you agree?”
Emmanuel wasn’t used to interacting with someone like Felicity who refused
to be frank and kept faking cordiality.
“I understand, Mother!”
Emmanuel didn’t bother beating around the bush. “The Lenoir family blames
me for Claudette’s death and they’re using this excuse to cause trouble for
the Quillen family, so the best way to deal with this situation is to resolve the
misunderstanding.”
Felicity’s lips curled up slightly at the fact that Emmanuel had brought it up
himself.
However, she kept up the appearance of a kind mother-in-law and sighed, “I
know you can’t possibly be the one who’s mainly responsible for Claudette’s
death, but my brother Adolph can be quite unreasonable sometimes. It’s
hard for me to reason with him!”
Emmanuel kept a smile on his face. Regardless of whether Felicity meant
what she said, he was willing to communicate with her since she was
keeping a smile on her face too, instead of treating him harshly the way the
was going to say her piece no matter what, so there was no reason for him
