Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 863

Chapter 863 Shadows in Paradise 

Yeringham, Terence Group. 

Lexi adjusted her glasses and entered Mackenzie’s office, holding a stack of files and documents. 

“Ms. Quillen, here are the companies with the extraction technology you requested. Please take a look.” 

“Great!” 

As Mackenzie opened the files, her expression grew more severe with each word she read.

Lexi could tell from her frown what was troubling her. He explained, “Out of the twenty-three companies in the country with the technology, only seven meet Terence Group’s requirements. Unfortunately, five have already announced the termination of cooperation with us, and the Oatley Family has unexpectedly changed their stance. Now, the only viable option left is the company of the Chapman family.” 

Wasting no time, Mackenzie closed the files and instructed Lexi, “Help me contact the person in charge of the Chapman family.” 

“Okay.” Lexi nodded solemnly. “I’ll give it a try.” 

The Chapman family was an extensive and robust superfamily with many domestically and internationally assets. However, contacting the person in charge of their company took a lot of work! 

Mackenzie knew this well, but the mysterious consortium behind her wanted to deal with the Quillen Family. They had already bribed six companies, and the only one they did not bribe was the Chapman family’s. company. 

She was anxious about the potential danger the Quillen Family could face if the Chapman family wished to deal with them. 

After all, when the wealthiest family in Yeringham faced the Chapman family, the top family in the country and even the world, they became powerless! 

However, to her surprise, Lexi brought her good news in the evening. 

“Ms. Quillen, I have contacted the person in charge of the Chapman family’s company. He replied that their company is willing to cooperate with the Quillen Family, but there is one condition.” 

“What condition?” 

Mackenzie’s eyes lit up. 

She and Emmanuel had promised they would handle this matter properly. 

“Mr. Chapman requests Ms. Quillen to negotiate with him personally.” 

“What?” 

Hearing this request, Mackenzie furrowed her brows slightly. 

This request was reasonable since the two companies had never cooperated, so it was natural for the boss to negotiate in person for the first time.

Lexi added, “Ms. Quillen, this request is very reasonable, but…” She spoke in a hushed tone after a moment of silence. “I heard that this Mr. Chapman is a player with countless girlfriends. He invited you, and I’m concerned he has ulterior motives…” 

Mackenzie remained silent. 

Despite having yet to travel abroad for business before, she knew it was possible to happen as she was the new female CEO of Terence Group. 

With the company facing a life-or-death situation, Mackenzie knew she needed to take action as the female CEO of Terence Group, even if it meant facing potential dangers. 

“Book a flight ticket and arrange bodyguards for me, Lexi. Also, inform Mr. Chapman that I will be there tomorrow.” 

“Huh? Yes!” 

Lexi was surprised yet unsurprised when Mackenzie made a firm decision and immediately took action to make arrangements for her. 

As she took a few steps away, she returned and asked, “Ms. Quillen, would you like us to bring your husband along?” 

Lexi believed that having Emmanuel with them would increase Mackenzie’s safety. 

However, Mackenzie sighed and responded, “He left the country today.” 

She cursed inwardly after speaking. Tell the idiot not to interfere. I can handle this matter alone. 

“Okay, Ms. Quillen. I will make the arrangements right away!” 

Lexi sighed, hoping Mackenzie’s negotiations would go smoothly this time. 

On the other side, Ashton had already arrived at the waiting hall of Yeringham Airport, preparing to board the plane alone. 

Captain Payne’s words echoed in her mind. 

‘Ashton, I approve of your trip to Yeternia to seek Emmanuel’s assistance in solving the case. However, due to the sensitive nature of this case, I have assigned the task to you and authorized your travel expenses.’ 

‘Your additional task is to apprehend a woman named Xylie Tanner and bring her back to Yeringham for trial.” 

‘According to the provided information, she is accused of murdering her adoptive father and subsequently fleeing to Yeternia on her own.” 

Ashton turned on her phone again and reviewed Xylie Tanner’s information while unable to suppress a sigh. 

She appears so gentle and beautiful and used to be the campus belle. Surprisingly, she could commit murder! 

Why is the world so complex? Yet, they cannot escape my hand of justice as long as they are guilty! 

Ashton clenched her fist tightly, murmuring while looking at Xylie’s photo. Yet, Emmanuel’s image intruded on her thoughts. 

Hmph! With sufficient evidence, I will send that b*stard to prison sooner or later! 

Meanwhile, in Yeternia, Emmanuel and the black-clad men arrived at an island. 

The Chapman family had exclusively procured this island for Nathan’s leisure and enjoyment.
