Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 388
Early the next morning, Lexi returned to work at Terence Group as usual.
141
She had prepared various plans to deal with the bombing of the warehouse
and was ready to present them to Mackenzie.
However, as soon as she entered the CEOâs office, Mackenzie gave her an
order. âLexi, put aside all your work today and find a way to bail Emmanuel out
of the police station for me!â
âUhâ¦â
Lexi was stunned, clearly unaware of what had happened after Mackenzie
left last night.
Once she realized it, she immediately responded, âMs. Quillen, didnât you drive
him away last night? Why are you so concerned about him now?â
In the next moment, Mackenzie shot a cold glint toward her.
Under the cold gaze, Lexi covered her cherryâred mouth and quickly stopped
teasing her boss, then changed her tone. âMs. Quillen, I understand. Why is
Emmanuel in the police station?â
Mackenzie succinctly explained, âHe killed the other person in self-defense
during the process of being attacked. According to the law, he is innocent,
but there are people meddling behind the scenes, so there may be some
complications to handle!â
âAlright, Ms. Quillen. I understand!â
Lexi nodded quickly and went to work. Handling such matters was her
expertise.
Mackenzie also trusted her abilities. The bombing of the warehouse had
caused many problems for her company. Now, with this incident, the Quillen
family and the Verkade Family had completely fallen out with each other.
Although the Verkade Family sounded intimidating as a topâtier wealthy
family in Zovince, this was Yeringham after all. Mackenzie wasnât afraid of any
enemies.
In any case, she must clear Emmanuelâs name and make the Verkade Family
and Magnus give her an explanation!
âMackenzie!â
While Mackenzie was overwhelmed with various matters, Terence and Alfred
barged into her office.
This time, even her mother, Felicity, alongside Beatrix and Sarah, trailed
behind.
Clearly, something significant had happened!
âGrandpa, whatâs wrong?â
Mackenzie didnât get up from her desk and raised her head slightly, frowning
as she asked.
âHow did Claudette die? Because of this, the Lenoir Family has come after
me!â
Terence was an old man who had experienced countless problems in life. It
was impossible for ordinary people to pressure him, but Claudetteâs father
was a powerful figure in Yeringham with the authority to mobilize troops.
If Claudetteâs death was truly related to the Quillen family, General Lenoir
would undoubtedly confront them, and Terence would face great pressure!
In the face of Terenceâs questioning, Mackenzie bit her lip and coldly
responded, âGrandpa, if the Lenoir family wants trouble over Claudetteâs
death, they can come and find me.â
âAh, youâre really driving me crazy!â
Seeing Mackenzieâs expression, Terence didnât continue to press her.
Through his granddaughterâs gaze, he saw her complex emotions, which
made him feel a little sorry for her.
Beatrix also felt sorry for her sister. Mackenzie always carried everything on
-her shoulders, and she herself regretted not having enough ability to help her
sister more.
âMackenzie, if this matter has nothing to do with you, just say it!â
Felicity spoke up, âYou divorced Emmanuel. No matter what happened to
Claudette, as long as you announce that you have nothing to do with
Emmanuel, the Quillen family wonât be involved in this matter.â
âShut up!â
Mackenzie interrupted with her icy gaze fixed on Felicity.
Felicity sensed her daughterâs unusual gaze. It was cold and angry, so even
though she was a bit displeased, she didnât continue under Terenceâs
presence.
âGrandpa, I will handle this matter. I wonât let anything happen to Emmanuel.
You can rest assured!â
When Mackenzie said those words, Terence did feel relieved.
