Chapter 388
Early the next morning, Lexi returned to work at Terence Group as usual.

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 CEO’s office, Mackenzie gave her an
order. “Lexi, put aside all your work today and find a way to bail Emmanuel out
of the police station for me!”
“Uh…”
Lexi was stunned, clearly unaware of what had happened after Mackenzie
left last night.
Once she realized it, she immediately responded, “Ms. Quillen, didn’t you drive
him away last night? Why are you so concerned about him now?”
In the next moment, Mackenzie shot a cold glint toward her.
Under the cold gaze, Lexi covered her cherry–red mouth and quickly stopped
teasing her boss, then changed her tone. “Ms. Quillen, I understand. Why is
Emmanuel in the police station?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMackenzie succinctly explained, “He 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!”
“Alright, Ms. Quillen. I understand!”
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 top–tier wealthy
family in Zovince, this was Yeringham after all. Mackenzie wasn’t afraid of any
enemies.
In any case, she must clear Emmanuel’s name and make the Verkade Family
and Magnus give her an explanation!
“Mackenzie!”
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!
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
Mackenzie didn’t get up from her desk and raised her head slightly, frowning
as she asked.
“How did Claudette die? Because of this, the Lenoir Family has come after
me!”
Terence was an old man who had experienced countless problems in life. It
was impossible for ordinary people to pressure him, but Claudette’s father
was a powerful figure in Yeringham with the authority to mobilize troops.
If Claudette’s death was truly related to the Quillen family, General Lenoir
would undoubtedly confront them, and Terence would face great pressure!
In the face of Terence’s questioning, Mackenzie bit her lip and coldly
responded, “Grandpa, if the Lenoir family wants trouble over Claudette’s
death, they can come and find me.”

Seeing Mackenzie’s expression, Terence didn’t continue to press her.
Through his granddaughter’s 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.
“Mackenzie, if this matter has nothing to do with you, just say it!”
Felicity spoke up, “You divorced Emmanuel. No matter what happened to
Claudette, as long as you announce that you have nothing to do with
Emmanuel, the Quillen family won’t be involved in this matter.”
“Shut up!”
Mackenzie interrupted with her icy gaze fixed on Felicity.
Felicity sensed her daughter’s unusual gaze. It was cold and angry, so even
though she was a bit displeased, she didn’t continue under Terence’s
presence.
“Grandpa, I will handle this matter. I won’t let anything happen to Emmanuel.
You can rest assured!”
When Mackenzie said those words, Terence did feel relieved.
