Chapter 786
That evening, Alessandra received a call from Emmanuel, and as expected,
she was so excited that she could hardly sleep, eagerly awaiting the break of
dawn.
Even before noon, she had already started to prepare the soup.
Roselynn hadn’t gone out that day, still in her pajamas, and when she saw
her mother preparing the slow-cooked soup, she subconsciously thought it
was for lunch.
“Mom, it’s nearly lunch. Why are you only making soup now?”
“Shoo, this is for dinner. Mackenzie and Emmanuel are coming home!”
“Tsk, tsk…” Roselynn deliberately put on a jealous front and said, “Mom, I’ll
make sure to be your daughter-in-law in my next life!”
?
“Get out of here. You’re acting as if I’ve mistreated you. What daughter still
lives with her mother at 30?!”
The next moment, Roselynn “turned off” her ears and retreated back into her
room.
Alessandra sighed deeply. She really didn’t know what to do with her
daughter. Despite being finally married, she kept returning to her mother’s
constantly. It would only be an invitation for others to make fun of her!
Roselynn’s mood wasn’t great either. Back when Claudette was still around,
she had someone to confide in. Now she couldn’t find anyone to talk to.
After some thought, she decided to share her worries with her younger
brother. But just as she opened her phone, she received a news notification.
‘Numerous companies terminate cooperation with Terence Group. Can
Yeringham’s top conglomerate continue its glory?’
She quickly tapped to read the news.
After finishing the article, she anxiously contacted Emmanuel.
“Emmanuel, have you seen the news? Mackenzie’s company is in a dire
situation, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, probably! Mackenzie has been extremely exhausted lately when she From NôvelDrama.Org.
comes home. There must be a lot of trouble. There’s a mysterious force that’s
opposing the Terence Group in the dark!”
Emmanuel wouldn’t discuss these matters with others, but since Roselynn
was his birth sister, he didn’t mind sharing with her.
He had long suspected that the force was from the Zelinsky family of Zovince.
Unfortunately, they hadn’t revealed themselves yet, and he currently didn’t
have any means to help his wife.
“Manny, do you think Mackenzie might be considering a collaboration with
the Oatleys?” Roselynn seemingly suddenly figured out the reason behind
Mackenzie’s visit home this day.
The Oatleys’ company specialized in refining and processing technology. She
had noticed many related industries had terminated their cooperation with
Terence Group. It was likely Terence Group would need to find new partners.
Emmanuel didn’t ask Mackenzie about it last night, but upon hearing his
sister’s words, he thought it was a possibility.
That said, he didn’t want to pressure his sister, nor did he want her to sacrifice
her own happiness for Mackenzie’s business by becoming a bridge for them.
So, he advised, “Sis, you don’t need to worry about Mackenzie. There is a
saying that goes, ‘Even if a centipede is dead, it doesn’t stiffen.’ The Quillens
have deep roots in Yeringham for decades. It would be extremely difficult for
anyone to bring them down.”
Roselynn understood the reasoning, but she was still apprehensive. Her
apparent jealousy of Mackenzie earlier was just a pretense; in reality, she felt
closer to Mackenzie than to her own younger sister.
Moreover, Mackenzie had helped her family multiple times before, and
Roselynn was truly grateful. If she could assist Mackenzie in any way, she
would do so without hesitation.
Time flew, and 5 p.m. arrived.
Alessandra had been watching the time all day. Her fondness for Mackenzie
truly extended beyond her own daughter. She was also well aware that if it
weren’t for Mackenzie, her family wouldn’t be where they were today.
wife. What reason would I need to pick you up?!”
