Chapter 821
The three of them arrived at the entrance of Yociam Residence, where Wally
was already waiting.
“Ms. Quillen, here are the keys to your house in Riverview Enclave.”
Wally handed a bunch of keys to Mackenzie, who handed them to Roselynn
without a second thought. “Roselynn, you can stay in this house for now. Let’s
not worry Mom about the Oatleys’ matter for now!”
“Okay, thank you, Mackenzie!” Roselynn hugged Mackenzie gratefully.
Emmanuel was surprised that Mackenzie didn’t resist. He couldn’t recall when
his wife and sister had hugged so intimately before.
Wally was even more surprised than him. While Emmanuel was uncertain, he
was a hundred percent sure that Mackenzie never hugged anyone.
“Wally, could you help Roselynn get there?” After the hug, Mackenzie
instructed Wally.

She honestly didn’t mind the spontaneous embrace from Roselynn.
“Yes, Ms. Quillen!”
After Wally escorted Roselynn away, the couple walked into the residential
area.
By now, it was already late at night.
Emmanuel felt both touched and concerned. His wife had been investing so
much emotional energy into his family’s affairs recently. He needed to find a
way to help her alleviate the situation at Terence Group quickly.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie thought that although the Quillen family was currently
short on funds, helping Roselynn should still be manageable. However, she
would have to discuss this with her grandfather.
The next day, Terence indeed received a call from Mackenzie.
“So, you’re saying Emmanuel’s sister wants to do something?” After listening

for a while, Terence fell into a brief contemplation. “If it were in the past, this
lowever recently Terence Group is facing financial

difficulties. I’ve imposed restrictions on our family’s other industries and
divested some of the less profitable ones.”
Of course, Mackenzie was well aware of these matters. If the person in
question wasn’t Emmanuel’s sister, she wouldn’t have brought it up.

She also knew that letting the other Quillen women know about this would
likely lead to another family crisis. But despite that, she still brought it up.
Thus, her grandfather’s response, while disappointing, was also a bit of a
relief.
“Grandfather, if you can’t help-”
“It’s not that we can’t help!” Terence interrupted abruptly, showing
enthusiasm. “Roselynn is Emmanuel’s sister, so our family must assist her.
Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll call Felicity and ask her to come home for a bit. She
still has some of the family’s assets under her name.”
”
“Grandfather, this-” Mackenzie was surprised by his suggestion.
Not only had Felicity fallen out with Samantha, but she had also previously
returned to the Quillen residence and engaged in theft. If she were to return.
this time and the other Quillen women learned about it, it would undoubtedly
trigger another family crisis.
“I know what you’re thinking, but we, as a family, still have to sort the issues
out with her, no?”
Terence’s words reminded Mackenzie of what Emmanuel had said before.
She and Felicity were still mother and daughter. As the business helmsman
of the Quillen family, she had to handle her affairs properly.
Chapter 833
With a phone call from Magnus, the girl’s parents were granted paid leave
and rushed to Beacon Hospital. Not only that, but Magnus also handed the
girl a check, encouraging her, “Don’t give up. You’ll overcome this illness
eventually!”
“Thank you, mister…” the little girl bawled.
Witnesses inside and outside the ward were moved to tears and applauded
wholeheartedly.
Rhea was no exception.
She couldn’t tell if Magnus was sincere or pretending, but he had indeed
performed a great act of kindness. If the little girl could survive, she would
remember this man for her entire life.
After helping the little girl, Magnus soon left the ward.
“Everyone, Mr. Magnus prefers to stay low-key. Please don’t follow him
anymore!” Blake extended his hand to stop the hospital staff.
However, many wished to continue following Magnus, thinking of him as the
fairy tale prince bathing in the holy light. Even the imposing CEO of the
Verkade family seemed slightly overshadowed in his presence.
Rhea felt the same way, but ultimately, like everyone else, she decided to
respect Magnus’ wish and didn’t continue following him.
In one of the wards, Jessica was keeping vigil by her hospitalized younger
brother’s side when she heard the commotion outside and learned that
Magnus, one of the Zovince’s Four Geniuses, had arrived.
Immediately, she called her father, believing their family wouldn’t need to
worry about the Quillens’ influence anymore if they could connect with a big
shot like Magnus!
Afterward, Jessica searched everywhere for Magnus.
She had already seen people posting his pictures on social media.
While Magnus wasn’t exceedingly handsome, his aristocratic air made him
resemble a prince from a fairy tale.
Alas, she failed to encounter Magnus even after searching nearly the entire
hospital.
Peering through a window, she spotted the black Corolla and decided to wait
there. To her surprise, Magnus and Blake approached her direction just as
she had begun waiting by the car.
As for Gautier, he had already left.
Seeing the real person and comparing him to Blake, Magnus appeared to be
an astonishingly handsome man in Jessica’s eyes.
“Mr. Magnus!” Jessica ran toward Magnus excitedly.
“May I ask who you are, beautiful lady?” True to the rumors of his gentlemanly
demeanor, Magnus remained polite even when facing an unfamiliar woman.
“I… I’m Jessica Oatley. I admire you greatly and want to get to know you!”
Jessica expressed her intentions as she gasped for breath. Her usual
haughty demeanor turned humble in front of Magnus.
With his hands behind his head and a blade of grass in his mouth, Blake
chuckled while silently watching the scene unfold, thinking Magnus was
indeed skilled at playing this game.
He had come to do charity work at Beacon Hospital that day not only to
shape his image and get close to the Oatleys but also to use them to defeat
the Quillens.
He could have the Oatleys come to him without approaching them, and to
his surprise, Magnus even attempted to lure Jessica. “That would be my
honor, Miss Oatley. Goodbye.”
“No!”
In a moment of desperation, Jessica grabbed Magnus’ hand, making him.
frown slightly in response. Still, his tone remained gentle. “What is the
meaning of this, Ms. Oatley?”
At that, Jessica bit her lip and blurted out in desperation, “You’ve come to do
charity, right? Can you also help my brother?”
Chapter 824
“No, that woman may not be steadfast, but she will definitely help me bring
down the Quillen family!” Magnus remained calm, filled with confidence.
“Even if she doesn’t want to, she is the sharpest sword that can pierce the
Quillen family’s century-old foundation!”
“It’s such a hassle talking to someone like you, all highfalutin!” Blake criticized.
“But I’m really curious to see how you will use this sword to pierce through the
Quillen family’s sturdy body!”
“I will definitely pierce through it.” Magnus chuckled. “I have forged so many
swords, and sooner or later, they will pierce through the Quillen family’s steel
frame. Only by forcing the Quillen family into a corner will Terence, that old
fox, be willing to bring those two things out!”
In the evening, Emmanuel arrived at the Terence Group to pick up his wife a
little after 5 p.m. As soon as he parked his car, Mackenzie left the company
and entered the front passenger seat.
“Emmanuel, head to the Quillen residence with me today!”
“Oh? What’s the occasion?”
“I’ve arranged a meeting with Felicity!”
“Mom’s coming back today? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
Emmanuel suddenly became a little nervous. Regardless of Felicity’s
relationship with the Quillens, she was his legitimate mother-in-law.
His reaction made Mackenzie realize she had overlooked this detail, and she
gave a slight smile. “What would you have done if I told you in advance?”
“I would’ve gone to buy some tea right away!”
Emmanuel remembered that he had promised Felicity last time that he
would buy some good tea to give her the next time he visited.
Mackenzie smiled ambiguously and didn’t stop him.
Seeing Emmanuel arrive at a high-end tea shop and buy two blocks of
premium exotic tea, Mackenzie couldn’t help but be curious. “Where did you,
an unemployed wanderer, get so much money?”
Emmanuel was no fool and had long anticipated Mackenzie’s question. He
quickly replied, “My medical skills aren’t cheap, and recently, I have saved
quite a few wealthy patients!”
“Claudette?” Mackenzie immediately thought of the young woman. In her
heart, Claudette was her number-one love rival.
Emmanuel shook his head, looking a little melancholic.
“What’s wrong? Have I hit a nerve and made you upset again?” Mackenzie
became a little annoyed. When will this man finally let go of Lenoir?!
Then again, Claudette had saved his life before. She probably wouldn’t like
him if he were the kind of heartless guy.
“It’s not time to be upset yet!” Emmanuel responded seriously. “There may still
be hope for Claudette, even if that chance is only one in a hundred
thousand.”
Mackenzie was quite taken aback by his statement. How can Claudette still
be alive after falling off a cliff and not even finding the body? What is she, a
cockroach in her past life?!
“Never mind, let’s not talk about this. Let’s hurry back! Felicity is probably
already back at the Quillen residence!” Mackenzie suddenly changed the
topic.
“Yeah, I hope you can have a good chat with her and resolve her grievances,”
said Emmanuel seriously while driving. “As the saying goes, ‘A harmonious
family brings everything prosper.’ If you can get your mother and the Quillen
family on the same page, it would be worth more than a 10-billion deal!”
Upon hearing this, Mackenzie stared intently at Emmanuel.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face? Or did I say something
wrong?” Emmanuel asked curiously, not believing that he had the charm to
attract the Ice Queen.
“Idiot!”
Mackenzie originally wanted to praise him for saying something so
reasonable, but in the end, it just turned into one word: idiot.
A complete idiot who couldn’t comprehend his wife’s thoughts!

Chapter 825
The Maserati quickly entered the Quillen residence.
Mackenzie and Emmanuel got out of the car, and Alfred approached them.
“Ms. Mackenzie, Madam has returned and is waiting for you in her room!”
“Alright.” Mackenzie nodded and went straight into the villa.
Emmanuel also wanted to follow, but Alfred stood in his way and squinted his
eyes, saying, “Mr. Lowe, Old Mr. Quillen would like to speak with you.”
“Uh, okay!” Emmanuel nodded and followed Alfred to the door of Terence’s
room.
“Mr. Lowe, please!” Alfred gestured for Emmanuel to enter and then left.
Shortly after Emmanuel and Mackenzie entered the villa, a purple
Lamborghini pulled into the parking lot of the Quillen residence.
Hannah exited the sports car and, upon seeing Mackenzie’s Maserati, her
eyes lit up. She quickly walked into the villa and happened to meet Alfred.
“Mr. Grishaw, is Mackenzie back?”
“Yes, Ms. Mackenzie is currently having a conversation with Madam.”
“Madam? Felicity?” Hannah was taken aback, and her expression changed
rapidly. “How dare she return after sending people here to steal?! She’s not
going anywhere else tonight!”
She looked ready to storm into Felicity’s room, but Alfred quickly stood in her
way.
“Why are you stopping me, Mr. Grishaw?”
“I’m sorry, but Ms. Mackenzie invited Madam home, and Old Mr. Quillen
ordered that no one is to disturb them!”
“But-” Hannah was both frustrated and helpless and, at the same time, very
curious about why Mackenzie called Felicity back.
Since she couldn’t go in, she would have to wait for Felicity to come out and
settle the score with her. Not only that, Hannah quickly called her sisters.
“What? How dare that woman return to the Quillen residence?! Wait for me; I’ll
come over and deal with her right away!”
Sure enough, upon hearing the news, Samantha immediately rushed to the
Quillen residence.
Sigh… Alfred sighed as he watched the scene. How did the Quillen family end
up like this?
Now, he could only trust Mackenzie to restore order to the Quillen family.
Emmanuel had no idea about the situation outside. After entering the room,
Terence warmly welcomed him. “Come, come, sit down! Let’s have a chat
today, my boy!”
Only when he was with Emmanuel would this elder behave like so. Even he
himself didn’t know why; he just always felt very fond of his grandson-in-law.
This feeling of familiarity had existed since their first meeting when
Emmanuel helped him up from the ground.
“What’s up, Grandpa?” Emmanuel proactively poured tea for his elder while
feeling a bit puzzled. Why is Grandpa so excited?
“Well, you see, you and Mackenzie live alone. If you ever notice any signs of
pregnancy in her, you must inform me immediately!”
Pfft!
Fortunately, Emmanuel hadn’t had a chance to drink the tea yet, or he
would’ve definitely sprayed it all over Terence’s face.
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? How could Mackenzie possibly show
signs of pregnancy?”
Fortunately, Emmanuel used to be a gynecologist and was well aware of
these physiological phenomena, or he would’ve begun to doubt if he was
illiterate and unknowledgeable.
“How could she not?” Terence frowned. “Didn’t you push her down that night?”
Oh my god! What kind of talk is this?!
Made exasperated, Emmanuel began wondering if Terence was trying to
extort him.
‘There’s nothing between a mother and daughter that can’t be resolved.’
That was the phrase that had touched her the most, spoken by that fool
Emmanuel.
“Let me make the call, Grandpa!”
“Oh?” Terence was momentarily taken aback by Mackenzie’s request. Still, he
laughed heartily. “Alright, you go ahead. An old man like me shouldn’t be
bothered with so many things.”
Mackenzie’s mood fluctuated a little after hanging up the phone, and after
calming down somewhat, she dialed Felicity’s number.
“Mackenzie, what’s the matter? Need something from me?” Felicity was
happy to receive Mackenzie’s call, and her excitement was hard to hide.
Chapter 822
Parents always favored their more successful children. Among her three
daughters, Mackenzie was the most outstanding. Despite her young age, she
managed Terence Group remarkably well, earning the admiration of the
other Quillen women.
“Yeah, let’s have a meal together at home and talk about what’s on your
mind.” Upon hearing Mackenzie’s words, Felicity took a deep breath, feeling a
mix of emotions.
Her eldest daughter used to be different. Now, she had become more
compassionate and worldly. It was undoubtedly Emmanuel who had
influenced her daughter in this way.
Felicity didn’t like Emmanuel, feeling that he wasn’t worthy of her daughter.
But if it weren’t for that man, she probably would never have heard her
daughter say such warm words to her in her lifetime.
“How about it? We’re still family. Do you really want to stay at your parents’
house forever? It’s not as comfortable there as it is at the Quillen residence,
right?”
Mackenzie was in her office when she made the call.
Lexi was standing at the door, looking at Mackenzie in front of her. She also
felt somewhat estranged, similar to how Felicity felt.
“Alright, I’ll come home tonight. Let us, mother and daughter, have a good
chat!”
What Mackenzie said last made Felicity decide to return once again.
After hanging up the phone, Felicity struggled to contain her emotions for a
while.
Regardless of Mackenzie’s intentions, she had always longed to become
close to this daughter. This longing has been buried in her heart for over 20
years.
Knock, knock.
Just then, someone knocked on her door.
Since her confrontation with Samantha, she had returned to the Lenoir
residence. Although Adolph wasn’t at home recently, the other members of
the Lenoir family treated her fairly well. They even arranged for her to stay in
her old room, and very few people disturbed her.
“Who is it?” Felicity asked.
“Mrs. Quillen, I’m Colonel Yancy. Mr. Magnus wishes to have a conversation
with you.”
At that, Felicity’s mood became even more complicated.
Previously, she had been determined to seek revenge against the Quillen
family. However, after her call with Mackenzie earlier, her determination had
wavered.
Although the Quillen family consisted of Terence and the other Quillen
women, her daughter was also a part of that family.
“I understand. I’ll be right there.”
Felicity took a deep breath, casually dressed up, and then went out with her
bag.
Gordon personally escorted her to a private meeting place. The meeting was
arranged very discreetly and decently.
Felicity entered the room, where only Magnus and an ugly man were present.
“Ms. Lenoir, please have a seat. I have brewed some top-quality tea for you.
Please have a taste.” Magnus poured tea for Felicity himself and referred to
her as ‘Ms. Lenoir’ instead of ‘Mrs. Quillen.
Felicity was a little surprised and said softly, “Thank you, but Mr. Magnus, you
are so distinguished. How can I let you pour tea for me?”
“You’re too kind. You are my elder, and it’s only right for me to show respect to
you!” Magnus smiled, resembling a courteous and polite young man,
endearing him to the older generation.
Felicity also discreetly glanced at the unattractive man. Seeing that Magnus
hadn’t signaled for him to leave, she asked, “May I know why you invited me
here, Mr. Magnus? Is there something you want to discuss?”
“It’s something good!” Magnus smiled.
“Oh, something good?” Felicity smiled knowingly after her momentary
stupefaction. “I’m even more eager to hear it then!”
With a motion to invite her to the tea, Magnus began to speak slowly. “I’ve
been keeping your invitation to cooperate last time in mind, and now, there’s
a great opportunity to bring the Quillen family down for good, and I would like.
you to take charge personally.”
