Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 854

Chapter 854 Recognition 

Hannah readily agreed. “If you can resolve this matter and help Mackenzie, I will no longer oppose you two being together!” 

Sophie scoffed, “If Hannah doesn’t object to it, then it won’t matter, even if I’m the only one doing so, right?” 

“Good, then I’ve made my decision.” Terence had the final word and turned to Emmanuel. “Next, we will have a family meeting. Emmanuel, you may explore the surroundings for a while.” 

Emmanuel nodded and stood up, leaving the meeting room. He still couldn’t gain recognition from the Quillens, and they still didn’t want him involved in matters concerning core interests and secrets, which made him very uncomfortable. He genuinely loved Mackenzie, so when would they be able to live like an ordinary couple? 

The next topic the Quillens discussed was preparing funds since they still had to take precautions even though Terence and Mackenzie chose to trust Emmanuel. If Emmanuel failed and the shareholders started selling stocks, the Quillens had to unite to stabilize the company’s stock price. Unfortunately, Terence Group had a market value of tens of billions of dollars, so even if the other Quillens were willing to take over, they might not have the capability. 

“My law firm has made some profits in recent years, so I can contribute about 60 million.” Stephanie, as the eldest daughter, took the lead in expressing her stance. 

“Although I am the deputy mayor, I can’t compare in terms of financial strength since I only have 60 million in savings and can’t contribute any more!” Moira’s statement was acceptable to everyone. If she contributed millions, she would probably be investigated. 

“Dad, I can contribute at least 225 million. If it’s still not enough, I’ll find a way to squeeze out some more!” Samantha’s words shocked the other members of the Quillens. 

Felicity was envious since her assets as the Quillens’ daughter-in-law couldn’t even compare to one-tenth of Samantha’s. 

“Alright, what about Sophie and Hannah?” Terence was very pleased with his three daughters. Sophie was always the most reliable one while dealing with important family issues. 

“I can contribute 70 million!” 

“I can contribute 45 million!” 

The two women also expressed their stances, although they seemed unhappy. 

“What about you, Felicity?” Samantha then turned to Felicity. 

Felicity’s hands, which were on her lap, suddenly gripped her skirt tightly. Biting her lip, she deliberately put on a cold expression. “I-I don’t have any money!” 

“What?” Hannah was the first to exclaim in astonishment and glared at Felicity, while the other Quillen women also frowned. 

Samantha slammed her hands down on the table. “Felicity, what do you mean by that? Did you come back to the Quillens just to take advantage of us? Whenever there are things to be divided in the Quillens, you are the most proactive, but when it comes to raising money in difficult times, you just sit back and do nothing.” 

Felicity reeled herself in while Mackenzie looked at her mother, torn between wanting to speak and remaining silent without knowing which side to take. 

“What?” Hannah was the first to exclaim in astonishment and glared at Felicity, while the other Quillen women also frowned. 

Samantha slammed her hands down on the table. “Felicity, what do you mean by that? Did you come back to the Quillens just to take advantage of us? Whenever there are things to be divided in the Quillens, you are the most proactive, but when it comes to raising money in difficult times, you just sit back and do nothing.”
