âA ce moment, as decideurs of the company, we must introduce groundbreaking new products to initiate a new round of financing, rapidly expand the market, further
grow the
group, and elevate it to a new niveauâ¦â Lara rambled.
For some reason, listening to her talk non-stop in a mix of Chanaean and foreign language, Emmanuel felt a natural aversion. He also wondered if she had a hidden agenda for proposing the Quillen family to bring out the Heart of the Sun for commercial use.
At first, Mackenzie patiently listened, but towards the end, she turned directly to Terence and asked, âGrandpa, what is your opinion?â
In reality, after retrieving the Heart of the Sun, Mackenzie had secretly established a development department. All equipment and technology were in place, waiting for her command to officially start the research and development trials. She hadnât informed the family about it; she had only discussed it with Terence a few nights ago.
Regarding Laraâs theoretical proposal, which lacked any practical business experience, Mackenzie merely listened and would only consider her grandfatherâs opinion on what decisions to make.
âHaha, didnât I tell you the other night, Mackenzie? Iâm getting too old for this and donât want to concern myself with it anymore. From now on, the affairs of the Quillen family and Terence Group will be handed over to you and Emmanuel to handle!â Terence had decided to be a hands-off patriarch.
Behind him, Marilyn had been massaging his shoulders and dared not speak.
Mackenzie suddenly felt a heavy burden. Although she had been in charge of the Terence Group before, her grandfather always acted as a protective shield. Now, with it gone, the invisible pressure increased several times instantly.
âLetâs see, Mackenzie! This decision is made after everyoneâs discussion. You should respect and obey our decision!â Lara continued to pressure Mackenzie, who only continued to ignore her, and turned to Samantha and Felicity, asking, âWhat are your opinions?â
Samantha immediately said, âI think Lara is right. Itâs time for the Quillen family to grow and strengthen further!â
She held a 6% stake in the Terence Group, and being an elder respected by Mackenzie, her words carried significant weight.
Mackenzie then turned to Felicity, who, although didnât hold any shares, she always considered it to be Tonyâs legacy. Felicity was the first successor and had also dedicated 20 years to the Heart of the Sun. So, Mackenzie had to consider her opinion.
âI donât want to influence your decision. You can ignore me.â Felicity neither approved nor disapproved.
With this, there was not a single dissenting voice among the Quillen family.
Driven by Laraâs persuasive speech, everyone focused on the benefits and failed to see the risks, completely disregarding Tonyâs advice from his lifetime even more so.
âAlright, I will consider putting the Heart of the Sun into commercial development and strive for the maximum benefit for the group!â Mackenzie said.
She had been hesitant about this matter before, but now that the entire family supported it, she had no reason to oppose it. Moreover, holding the Heart of the Sun and the Energy Diagram of Nine Palace in her hands, not putting them into the market would render them useless. As an entrepreneur, the most foolish thing to do was not to utilize the resources at hand, even if there were significant risks.
âMagnificent! I knew Mackenzie would follow my advice! This is definitely an excellent choice!â Lara said proudly, showing enthusiasm as if guiding the destiny of a nation.
Emmanuel and Beatrix were both extremely repulsed. They believed that when this matter brought immense benefits to the Quillen family and the Terence Group, this woman would undoubtedly think it was her achievement, but if something went wrong, she could easily shift the blame to issues with the details and absolve herself of responsibility.

Beatrix was about to speak up for Mackenzie when the latter said, âLara, I am not following your advice. If it were just your proposal, I would have refused without hesitation. However, since itâs a decision supported by the Quillen family, I donât want to oppose it.â
âHuh?â Lara was momentarily stunned, abruptly stopping her enthusiastic gestures.
âHehe, what a big ego you have, Lara!â
