âHehe, I never dreamed that Terence Group would end up in this situation today,â a man in casual attire at the press conference venue suddenly chuckled. âI wonder how panicked the heiress of the Quillen family is right now.â
His smile carried an air of fantasy and greed.
âYes, itâs true that the wheel of fortune turns,â another man in a beige suit, holding a cigar, said after exhaling a smoke ring. âTerence Groupâs stockholders are selling off their shares, and they are facing enormous breach of contract penalties. Many debts that were previously manageable may now be lifeâthreatening.â
Both of them were heirs of prominent Yeringham companies and also among Mackenzieâs admirers. One was named Archibald Zilmont, and the other was Godfrey Hewitt.
In the past, both of them had contemplated pursuing Mackenzie but were quickly discouraged by her icy glare.
âRemember that saying from Yeringhamâs high society circles?â Archibald lit a cigarette and asked Godfrey
âHaha, I remember it even in my dreams!â Godfrey chuckled selfâdeprecatingly. âIn front of the Icy Female CEO, we were no different from the average workingâclass men!â
Archibald snorted and said, âThatâs all in the past. After today, Mackenzie will descend from her pedestal. Letâs see if she can be as high and mighty as before.â
âYouâre right!â Godfreyâs eyes were filled with anticipation. âIf the Quillen family canât pay off their debts, Iâm willing to spend millions to buy her back and serve me as a way to fulfill my obsession!â
âHaha, Iâm afraid youâll be at the back of the line if she can be acquired with money!â Archibald, who had just been scornful of Mackenzie, suddenly showed a crafty side when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, âEven if it takes a billion, Iâll make her mine and show her my love every night!â
They certainly werenât the only men with similar intentions, especially since they knew Mackenzie had chosen. an ordinary man.
âNot choosing a business alliance might be the root cause of the Quillen familyâs downfall,â someone else chimed in. âIf Mackenzie had married into the Verkade family, even in the face of todayâs difficulties, they could probably have found a way out.â
These discussions happened to fall within earshot of Beatrix and Lexi. Beatrix was deeply concerned that if her mother and aunts heard these comments, they might redouble their efforts to break up her sister and brother-
inâlaw.
In fact, the older women of the Quillen family had already heard those comments.
Right then, they were backstage at the press conference, nagging and complaining to Mackenzie.
âMackenzie, look at the man you chose. He promised to solve the technical refining issue, didnât he? But look at the situation now! Heâs been gone for five days!â
Hannah was outraged right then and spoke harshly. âTypical of lowerâclass peopleâthey talk big but canât
deliver!â
Mackenzie felt very upset. She was already troubled by the company and the press conference, and Hannahâs words only made her more frustrated.

âMackenzie, hear me out. You should reach out to the Verkadesâor other business families if youâd prefer while we still have the chance.â Sophie was done badmouthing Emmanuel and went straight to advising Mackenzie. âI know many wealthy heirs and big business families are infatuated with you. As long as you extend an olive branch, theyâll be willing to help us through this difficult time!â
At that, Mackenzieâs annoyance grew.
Felicity was also backstage, but she dared not say a word, especially with how Mackenzie currently appeared.
âAlright, stop bothering Mackenzie.â Samantha, who genuinely cared for Mackenzie, stopped her sisters. âMackenzie needs to use this press conference to tell the world that weâve resolved the production issue. As long as she can maintain the shareholdersâ confidence and attract outside investors, Terence Group can weather this storm.â
