Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) 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…”
