“Get over here,” Mackenzie ordered Marilyn.

She was never fond of Marilyn. Despite being younger than Mackenzie,

Marilyn was always around Terence. It disgusted Mackenzie.

Marilyn pretended to be frightened as she approached Mackenzie with her

head hanging low, but her gaze never left Mackenzie.

“Ms. Quillen?” Her meek demeanor and her recent injury made her appear

quite innocent.

“Who came up with the seat arrangement? Weren’t you always with

Grandpa? Why didn’t you share a car with him today?”

“Are you suspecting me of something, Ms. Quillen?”

Tears streamed down her cheeks in an instant. She raised her voice as if it

were on purpose, ‘Old Mr. Quillen has given me a place in his life. We got

officially married on Bali Island. As his wife, I want nothing more than to be by

his side. However, I couldn’t argue with Aunt Samantha on her arrangement. I

regret not traveling in the same car as him.”

“What?” Her revelation shocked the other people.

The women of the Quillen family exchanged glances.

Mackenzie’s aunts struggled to process the news. If this girl told the truth, she

would have become our mother! Preposterous! That’s inappropriate! How

dare she?

Mackenzie shared their dissatisfaction. She glared icy daggers at Marilyn. It

could be her motive.

“Tell me! Were you targeting our family’s wealth? Did you get close to

Grandpa with ulterior motives?”

Marilyn trembled at her accusation.

Emmanuel observed Marilyn closely. She looks scared, and a little guilty.

Mackenzie might be right.

“Ms. Quillen, please don’t make groundless accusations of me. Old Mr. Quillen

and I truly love each other! He only fell for me after I risked my life twice to

save him. I’m your grandmother now. Please show me respect from today

on.” Marilyn mustered her courage and demanded.

The next moment, she flinched at Mackenzie’s raised hand.

Eventually, Mackenzie refrained from slapping Marilyn in public. She didn’t

want to make a scene and let the outsiders know about her family business.

“Mackenzie, let’s head back first. I believe Ashton and her team will find

Grandpa and Alfred in no time if they’re still alive,” Emmanuel urged.

ass Mackenzie nodded, showing a rare hint of politeness toward Ashton as she

said, “I’ll count on you then, Officer Summerton.”

Ashton nodded curtly. “It’s my duty. We’ll find something as soon as possible.”

Mackenzie nodded one last time before leaving with Emmanuel by her side.

After giving Marilyn a stern look, her aunts turned on their heels and left.

Marilyn trembled as she watched them go helplessly. Finally, she walked

away alone when the Quillens were out of sight.

She had nowhere to go, so she checked into a hotel.

Her phone rang as soon as she entered the room.

“Is Terence dead?” The person cut to the chase.

“I’m not sure. It was intense. Everything caught fire at once. There was no

chance he could survive.”

“Excellent! I have the best lawyer ready for you. Once Terence is confirmed

dead, his property will be divided between you and his family.”

“Will the Quillens allow it?”

韓

“In most scenarios, the deceased’s spouse, children, and parents are their

primary heirs. Their assets will be distributed to the primary heirs first. Only if

there are no primary heirs will the assets be passed on to the secondary

heirs.”

She could imagine the person’s smug grin as they elaborated, “We can rule

out children and parents in Terence’s case. You would be considered the

primary heir above his daughters if he didn’t leave a will that suggested

something else.”

She clenched her fists. “He never mentioned a will when we traveled the

world together.”

“Good. The Terence Group is currently the largest conglomerate in Nuthana. If

everything goes smoothly, you’ll become the wealthiest woman in Nuthana.”
