A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 826

Parents always favored their more successful children. Among her three

daughters, Mackenzie was the most outstanding. Despite her young age, she

managed Terence Group remarkably well, earning the admiration of the

other Quillen women.

“Yeah, let’s have a meal together at home and talk about what’s on your

mind.” Upon hearing Mackenzie’s words, Felicity took a deep breath, feeling a

mix of emotions.

Her eldest daughter used to be different. Now, she had become more

compassionate and worldly. It was undoubtedly Emmanuel who had

influenced her daughter in this way.

Felicity didn’t like Emmanuel, feeling that he wasn’t worthy of her daughter.

But if it weren’t for that man, she probably would never have heard her

daughter say such warm words to her in her lifetime.

“How about it? We’re still family. Do you really want to stay at your parents’

house forever? It’s not as comfortable there as it is at the Quillen residence,

right?”

Mackenzie was in her office when she made the call.

Lexi was standing at the door, looking at Mackenzie in front of her. She also

felt somewhat estranged, similar to how Felicity felt.

“Alright, I’ll come home tonight. Let us, mother and daughter, have a good

chat!”

What Mackenzie said last made Felicity decide to return once again.

After hanging up the phone, Felicity struggled to contain her emotions for a

while.

Regardless of Mackenzie’s intentions, she had always longed to become

close to this daughter. This longing has been buried in her heart for over 20

years.

Knock, knock.

Just then, someone knocked on her door.

Since her confrontation with Samantha, she had returned to the Lenoir

residence. Although Adolph wasn’t at home recently, the other members of

the Lenoir family treated her fairly well. They even arranged for her to stay in

her old room, and very few people disturbed her.

“Who is it?” Felicity asked.

“Mrs. Quillen, I’m Colonel Yancy. Mr. Magnus wishes to have a conversation

with you.”

At that, Felicity’s mood became even more complicated.

Previously, she had been determined to seek revenge against the Quillen

family. However, after her call with Mackenzie earlier, her determination had

wavered.

Although the Quillen family consisted of Terence and the other Quillen

women, her daughter was also a part of that family.

“I understand. I’ll be right there.”

Felicity took a deep breath, casually dressed up, and then went out with her

bag.

Gordon personally escorted her to a private meeting place. The meeting was

arranged very discreetly and decently.

Felicity entered the room, where only Magnus and an ugly man were present.

“Ms. Lenoir, please have a seat. I have brewed some top-quality tea for you.

Please have a taste.” Magnus poured tea for Felicity himself and referred to

her as ‘Ms. Lenoir’ instead of ‘Mrs. Quillen.

Felicity was a little surprised and said softly, “Thank you, but Mr. Magnus, you

are so distinguished. How can I let you pour tea for me?”

“You’re too kind. You are my elder, and it’s only right for me to show respect to

you!” Magnus smiled, resembling a courteous and polite young man,

endearing him to the older generation.

Felicity also discreetly glanced at the unattractive man. Seeing that Magnus

hadn’t signaled for him to leave, she asked, “May I know why you invited me

here, Mr. Magnus? Is there something you want to discuss?”

“It’s something good!” Magnus smiled.

“Oh, something good?” Felicity smiled knowingly after her momentary

stupefaction. “I’m even more eager to hear it then!”

With a motion to invite her to the tea, Magnus began to speak slowly. “I’ve

been keeping your invitation to cooperate last time in mind, and now, there’s

a great opportunity to bring the Quillen family down for good, and I would like.

you to take charge personally.”

“What?!” Felicity was shocked.

“Grandpa, I didn’t do it! Please don’t make baseless accusations!” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“You didn’t? How could you not have?!” Terence became instantly irritated.

“Beatrix came back that night and told me everything. You and Mackenzie

went to an inn and even stained the bed sheets red!”

“You mean that time!” Emmanuel slapped his forehead, stuck with an

epiphany.

No wonder Grandpa’s talking nonsense. So, it’s all thanks to Beatrix, huh?! How

could that girl have spread such rumors?

“What’s the matter? Are you trying to sweep it under the rug and deny it?”

Terence stared at him with a mischievous glint in his eyes. At the same time,

he felt a bit nervous. Seeing how Emmanuel behaved, he wondered if he

could’ve been deceived.

“No, Grandpa, that’s not what I mean!” Emmanuel sighed and explained,

“Mackenzie and I went to the inn that night to save a friend. The blood wasn’t

ours. Mackenzie and I really haven’t…”

“What? You useless brat! You… You’re really driving me crazy!”

Disappointed, Terence slapped the back of Emmanuel’s head.

Emmanuel covered his head and dared not speak after being reprimanded.

“How long have you two been married, huh? Tell me! How can you not have

slept with your wife even once?! Are you even a man? If you can’t do it, don’t

waste my granddaughter’s time!”

Terence’s severe reprimand finally had Emmanuel perceiving the immense

gravity of the issue.

Though such matters should be consensual, Emmanuel knew he and

Mackenzie couldn’t drag it out anymore, seeing how anxious their elders

were.

“Grandpa, I promise you I’m capable, but-” Emmanuel needed to explain that

he didn’t have ‘E.D.’ issues at all.

“No buts. I’ll give you a little more time. If you still can’t make it happen, you

and Mackenzie can start thinking about getting a divorce!”

In actuality, Terence held high hopes for Emmanuel. However, the young man.

had managed to push his buttons.

His health was deteriorating by the day, and he still hoped to hold on until his

great-grandchild was born.

“Grandpa, I understand,” said Emmanuel, appearing repentant, for he truly

empathized with Terence’s situation.

He didn’t want to divorce Mackenzie anymore, so he really had to figure

something out and fulfill the task given by the elders to her.

“Good. Don’t disappoint me again.” Terence’s tone finally softened.

Emmanuel nodded, feeling quite despondent. He needed to go find his icy

wife quickly and discuss how to deal with this situation.

Meanwhile, in Felicity’s room, Mackenzie and Felicity sat face to face.

“Mackenzie, I was really happy when you asked me to come home today!”

Felicity’s eyes glistened, and her expression showed genuine emotion.

Mackenzie simply nodded slightly, not displaying overly excited emotions.

She went straight to the point. “Felicity, I asked you to come back today

because I want to talk to you about something!”

“Sure, go ahead!”

Although Mackenzie still hesitated to call her “Mom,” her proactive attitude

was enough to satisfy and excite Felicity.

“First, despite the rumors that have always said I’m not your biological

daughter, I won’t seek validation for that. I’ve always regarded you as my

mother and considered you a part of the Quillen family. So, I really don’t want

to see you cut ties with the Quillen family.”

These words were something Mackenzie had been hesitant to say and had

found it difficult to put into words, had it not been for Emmanuel’s statement

about the importance of family harmony. Fortunately, she was able to

express herself now.

Felicity was indeed moved, her eyes welling up with tears.

Among her three daughters, the one she favored the most and longed to

have her relationship acknowledged by was Mackenzie.

For over twenty years, this was the first time she had heard Mackenzie say

she regarded her as her mother.
