Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140 Condition 

After a while, laughter erupted from the crowd! 

Hannah sneered, “The Quillen family’s current assets are about 1.7 billion. Are you suggesting that we’ll have 24 billion next year if we work with you?” 

Everyone joined in the laughter. 

The Quillen family, with only a few billion in assets, took a decade just to increase their net worth to 1.7 billion. Even so, they had faced bankruptcy risks multiple times along the way! 

Yet, this man said he would get them up to 24 billion in just one year? 

Did he really think that the business world was a game of monopoly? Or was he deluding himself that he was in a brainless novel where the dragon king would return and grant him billions upon billions at a whim? 

“Well? What do you say, Ms. Hannah? Is that not enough?” Emmanuel responded seriously, “Do I have to ensure that the company is worth 30 billion to be considered a qualified son-in-law of the Quillen family? Then, let’s set the price at 30 billion!” 

What?! 

The women of the Quillen family, who were originally watching the show on the sidelines, almost exploded with anger. 

Mackenzie also glared at Emmanuel coldly, wondering just what was going on in his head today. He didn’t seem like his usual self! 

Although she was angered by his impulsiveness, she also felt a bit pleased by his initiative. 

This fool was now spouting nonsense after being provoked by Gautier. Nonetheless, it was still better than being a coward who only knew how to quail in his boots! Now, he had learned to fight back! 

This proved that he felt a sense of crisis and would certainly not laze around from now on, right? 

Sure enough, Gautier was momentarily scared into silence when Emmanuel said he would help the Quillen family reach 30 billion in assets! 

In any case, that little bit of fear disappeared in a flash as he felt that he wasn’t a worthless man like Emmanuel. He wasn’t a man who was just all talk. Instead, he felt that he was different from Emmanuel Lowe. He was the president of the Verkade Group, and his promise was worth way more than just empty talk. 

“Haha, good! Very ambitious!” Terence, who had been silently observing the interaction, finally applauded vigorously. 

Even though his mentality was completely different after his trip from Anchortown, his vision and bias remained unchanged. 

“However, 30 billion is far too high of a goal. I say that 20 billion is more than enough! Nonetheless, I do have an additional condition. You’ll have to help Mackenzie and get the Quillen family into the National Chamber of Commerce within a year. You two will have to become one of the permanent members who can set the rules within the business world. What do you say?” 

The Quillen family gasped in shock as soon as he made his terms clear 

白菜肉68%會. 

Mackenzie had initially thought Terence was going to help Emmanuel. Alas, she didn’t expect him to make things even more challenging for Emmanuel! 

The Chanaea Chamber of Commerce, as the highest authority in the business world, was composed of the top families and forces in the country. They were an exclusive group with only 20 members in total, including seven permanent members. 

Therefore, they were involved in an unceasing fight for power and interests. The factions within this group were constantly engaged in intrigue in order to eliminate any form of dissidents. Hence, they would resort to any means necessary just to seal a deal. It was extremely difficult for external forces to join. 

The Quillen family was only the leader of Yeringham, a second-tier city. Thus, just how many 

families and forces in the country would possess more assets and stronger influence than the Quillen family? There were more than 30 of those families! 

As a result, Terence’s condition of making the Quillen family gain a permanent foothold within the Chamber of Commerce within a year was as difficult as reaching the sky! 

“Alright, it’s a deal!” 

Oddly, Emmanuel didn’t even hesitate as he agreed without a second thought. 

Only he knew deep down that Terence was secretly helping him. 

Once this agreement was settled, Mackenzie would have to find a way to join the Chamber of Commerce as long as she didn’t want to give up on Emmanuel Lowe. It didn’t matter whether this was one of her goals for the year. 

That way, Emmanuel didn’t have to reveal his identity or confess his intentions to Mackenzie. Instead, he could still lead her in the direction he wanted. 

The old fox still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve! 

“Emmanuel, have you lost your mind?” blurted Mackenzie as she stared Emmanuel down. 

“Mackenzie, trust me!” 

Emmanuel quickly held her delicate hand. His eyes filled with confidence and dominance as he said, “I will do everything in my power to be with you!” 

This fool…
