Chapter 652

Chapter 652 But it was Emmanuel, and a sweet sensation instantly filled her heart. “I’m in a meeting!” Upon hearing Mackenzie’s response, Emmanuel hummed a response and was about to let her get back to her work when she blurted, “By the way, since you called, I have something to ask you.” “What is it?” Emmanuel felt a twinge of guilt, worried that she had learned about him pretending to be Tia’s boyfriend. He was a little flustered. “The Lenoir family’s energy company is once again competing with us in the market, and they seem determined to fight us to the end,” Mackenzie revealed straightforwardly. “What? How could this happen?” Emmanuel was instantly shocked and angry. Although Adolph was a little arrogant and looked down on others, Emmanuel had always respected him as a man and believed that he would keep his word. Who would have thought that just a few days after the ceasefire, they would stir up trouble again? Did he misjudge him? “Yeah. At first, I also thought it was General Lenoir breaking his promise, but Lexi dug into it and discovered that someone had swiftly acquired the Lenoir Group. It no longer belongs to the Lenoirs,” Mackenzie continued. “I see.” Emmanuel thought there might be more than met the eyes. “I remember going to the Lenoir residence on New Year’s Eve, and Quintus wasn’t at home. Maybe he was dealing with the acquisition of Lenoir Group at that time! It makes me wonder who’s the rich and powerful buyer.” “We haven’t found out yet.” Mackenzie rubbed her temples, sounding a bit weary. “Not only in the energy market, but someone is also aggressively acquiring our downstream energy product suppliers. It’s clear that they want to besiege the Quillens by shoving us out of the energy industry.” “Is there really someone with the power to control the entire industry?” Emmanuel was shocked. “Not so much as controlling the entire industry but rather the companies related to the Quillen family’s energy business,” Mackenzie explained. As they talked, a name came to Emmanuel’s mind–Magnus Zelinsky. He had been eyeing two things from the Quillen family, which must hold tremendous value. Perhaps the person behind these business activities was the Zelinsky family. As for their true intentions, Emmanuel didn’t dare to make hasty conclusions. “Thank you for telling me so much, Mackenzie.” Emmanuel was truly grateful to Mackenzie for willingly sharing these matters with him. It showed that she didn’t consider him an outsider and didn’t look down on him for not being able to help. “Since you’ve told me, I will definitely try my best to help you, too,” he added. “Silly!” Mackenzie chuckled. “How can you help? It’s New Year’s, and I’m still in a meeting at the company, and we haven’t even figured out a strategy yet.” Emmanuel smiled and didn’t insist further. Instead, he said, “Either way, let me know if you need anything. Also, take care of yourself, and don’t attend meetings on an empty stomach!” “Got it!” Mackenzie replied. After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on her lips. It does feel better knowing that that idiot is concerned about me. She turned around, and to her surprise, Lexi and Beatrix were standing behind her, sniggering mischievously. “What are you two doing?” Mackenzie immediately wore a haughty expression on her face. Lexi shrugged, not daring to speak up, while Beatrix giggled. “My, my, is it me, or does this place reek of love?! Someone sure is happy just after receiving a phone call. How jealous of me.” Gossip of her sister and brother–in–law kissing the day before had already spread throughout the Quillen residence. As for the source of the gossip, they hadn’t found out yet. But Beatrix believed it must be the sly fox that was their grandfather, or no one in the entire household would dare spread gossip about Mackenzie. “Looks like you two are deeply in love. It must feel good, right?” the young woman continued to tease her sister until Mackenzie shot her an icy glare, and she quickly shut up. Before Mackenzie could speak up, Beatrix stuck out her tongue and said, “I’m very, very busy! I’m going to contact our suppliers right away to see if they Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. still want to cooperate with us after changing ownership. Well… no matter who the enemy is this time, I will help my sister overcome them.”
