Chapter 503

Chapter 503 At the very next moment, Mackenzie, Sarah, and Alfred walked in as well. They were all sporting varying expressions! Mackenzie glared at Felicity before taking Emmanuel’s arm and saying, “Everything’s ready. A lot of the relatives are waiting outside. Let’s go. I’ll introduce you to them.” Felicity’s eyes were fixed on Emmanuel. Emmanuel didn’t feel like going, so he didn’t budge when Mackenzie tried to pull him out. “What are you doing, Emmanuel?” Mackenzie was getting angry. Everyone present knew what her personality was like, especially Alfred. He had watched her grow up and it was his first time seeing her be this Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. intimate with a man, and yet, Emmanuel wasn’t listening to her. “I feel a little unwell, Mackenzie. Let’s skip this dinner. I’m sorry!” Emmanuel apologized to Mackenzie. He knew that it would be even harder for him to leave the Quillen family if he went ahead with this dinner and received the approval of the other members of the family. The Lenoir family was bound to cooperate with the Verkade family, and the two wouldn’t stop until they took down the Quillen family! Although he didn’t know what things were like for the Quillen family right now, he saw how exhausted Mackenzie had been lately. She was even willing to have a meal with Tobias over a measly 15 million. That alone was enough for him to hazard a guess as to how bad things were for the Quillen family right now.  He didn’t want to be a burden to his wife. He didn’t want to be the reason for the Quillen family’s downfall either! Even though he could offer up the 700 million that he had and think of a way to help the Quillen family defeat the Lenoir family, Adolph was Claudette’s father and Claudette risked her life to save him and Mackenzie. They couldn’t possibly repay their debt of gratitude by taking down the Lenoir family! Therefore, the only solution was to find a way to overcome this conflict! “Out with it. Just what do you mean by that?” Mackenzie swung his hand off in fury and glared at him. No one had ever seen her look this angry and aggrieved. “Yeah, Manny! What’s on your mind right now?” Terence was anxious as well. Mackenzie and Emmanuel had finally reunited after everything, so why were they getting into another fight now? Can’t an old man like me have some peace and quiet? “Is Felicity forcing you to leave? If she is, tell me! I’ll stand up for you!” Terence pointed at Felicity in fury. Mackenzie was glaring at Emmanuel too. She didn’t think he would be scared of a woman when he was unafraid of ruthless men like Samuel and Adolph. Emmanuel glanced at Felicity, who was clenching her fists. Her body was trembling. It looked as if she had something to say, though she was too afraid to speak up. At last, he sighed and said, “Grandpa, Mackenzie, now’s not the time for me to have dinner with the family. Claudette’s situation is still weighing heavily on the Lenoir family holds against me?” “Well…” Terence couldn’t think of anything to say. “Not happening!” Mackenzie fired back commandingly. “You’re going to have dinner with the family today whether you like it or not!” If Emmanuel left in this manner, everyone would get the wrong idea by thinking that the Quillen family was afraid of the Lenoir family. The respect that the Quillen family commanded in Yeringham’s business world would be lost for good. Alas, Emmanuel couldn’t act in accordance with his emotions the way Mackenzie could. He knew that Felicity was speaking on behalf of the Lenoir family. She had already laid the cards out on the table. If he stayed with the Quillen family and became even closer to them now, the Lenoir family would have the perfect excuse to team up with the Verkade family and go against the Quillen family. He didn’t want that to happen. In any case, he needed to leave for a while. I have to find Master and save Claudette!
