Chapter 504
“Emmanuel, you figured out what’s best for Mackenzie yourself, right?”
It was a crucial moment and Felicity couldn’t be bothered that she was going
against Terence anymore. She steeled herself and said, “Since you and
Mackenzie aren’t right for each other, the last thing you can do out of love for
—–
her is to let her go!”
“Shut up!” Terence roared. He even raised his hand to slap Felicity.
“Don’t, Grandpa!” Emmanuel stopped him.
Once Terence put his hand down and turned around, Emmanuel smiled and
said, “Mrs. Quillen’s right. I can’t help all of you if I stay with the family, so I’ve
decided to leave for now. I’ll come back once everything’s resolved!”
With that said, he walked over to Mackenzie.
Mackenzie was deeply disappointed as she glared at him with icy eyes.
This was her first relationship. Had this been anyone else, she would’ve told
them to get lost and forbid them from ever showing up in front of her again.
Alas, she was a little reluctant to do the same with the man in front of her.

“Wait for me, Mackenzie!”
Emmanuel wasn’t going to give up on Mackenzie. He simply wanted to save
Claudette and resolve the resentment between the Lenoir family and the
Quillen family before coming back. That way, Felicity wouldn’t be able to say
anything.
However, that was not what Mackenzie thought!
If Emmanuel saved Claudette, that would make her the third party in their
relationship that could not be removed or forgotten. She didn’t know how she
would deal with the relationship between him and Claudette.
If he left now and failed to save Claudette, it meant that he would never
return to the Quillen family ever again.
Therefore, when Emmanuel turned to leave, Mackenzie growled, “Hold it!”
Emmanuel turned around and looked at his furious wife.
“If you leave tonight, don’t bother coming back anymore!”
“Mackenzie..” Emmanuel was caught between a rock and a hard place.
Nevertheless, Terence was a wise man and knew what was on both their
minds, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Mackenzie, Emmanuel’s feeling unwell so let him get some rest, okay? He
can have a meal with the family anytime, right?”
Then, he turned to Emmanuel and said, “And you! We’re not afraid, so why are
you? But… since you’ve made up your mind, you should at least tell us how
long it’ll take you to resolve everything and come back, right?”
In reality, Terence was afraid. The Verkade family and the Lenoir family were
coming on strong; many other families and businesses also had the gall to
seize this chance to try and get something for themselves. Everyone in
Yeringham thought that this would be the end of the Quillen family and were
waiting to see their downfall.
Under these circumstances, while the Quillen family could still manage for
now, they would not be able to hold out for long, no matter how strong they
were.
Therefore, it was best if they could repair their relationship with the Lenoir
family, or failing that, at least get them to stop teaming up with the Verkade
family to strike against the Quillen family.

declared.
There was only a month left until the new year. If he couldn’t resolve the
situation by then, Claudette’s body wouldn’t be able to hold out any longer
either.
“Alright. We’ll give you a month!”
Terence hoped that Emmanuel could save Claudette. That way, he and
Mackenzie wouldn’t owe the Lenoir family anything and they would have no
reason to continue attacking the Quillen family.
When the time comes, if Adolph has any shred of reason or decency in him,
he won’t continue doing what he is doing now, right?
“I’m leaving, Mackenzie!”
She was the one he worried the most about. I hope she can understand me.
Mackenzie scoffed. She wanted him to understand her too!
However, knowing how silly he was, he would never be able to think of that.
Therefore, as Emmanuel sighed and turned to leave, she finally spoke albeit
icily. “Hey, you. Hold it!”
Emmanuel quickly turned around.
“You have one month. You’ve never let me down before, so you better not this
time!”
Mackenzie pretended to be all tough, but after spending over two months
with her, Emmanuel could tell it was just an act. He found it rather adorable!
