Chapter 827
“Felicity, the grievances between you and Aunt Samantha, I find it regrettable.
There are issues on both sides, but I truly hope that you both don’t continue
this conflict indefinitely, and I certainly don’t wish to see you aligning with
outsiders to go against the Quillen family,” Mackenzie continued, her gaze a
mix of regret and a touch of displeasure.
“Mackenzie, I… I…” Felicity’s eyes turned red-rimmed, her expression tinged
with guilt. She struggled to find the right words to respond to Mackenzie.
She had indeed teamed up with outsiders, returned to steal, and even
planned to undermine the Quillen family’s business with outsiders.
All she wanted was to reclaim what belonged to her and help her family and
older brother rise in the business world. But now, her older brother was no
longer with the Lenoir family, and the Lenoir family was no longer the same
as before. Yet, she found herself in a bitter conflict with the Quillen family.
This was never her original intention!
“Felicity, I understand the kind of upbringing you’ve had and the environment.
you grew up in. Your father, your older brother, everyone told you that you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcarry the blood of the Lenoir family, and you’re meant to contribute to the
Lenoir family’s growth and prosperity,” Mackenzie continued. “Perhaps that
isn’t entirely wrong, just like how our members of the Quillen family contribute
to our family’s cause. So, I can understand you, and I can also understand
Aunt Samantha.
“But there must be other ways to resolve our differences rather than
constantly fighting, causing pain to those who care about you while bringing
joy to your enemies, right?”
These words had been buried in Mackenzie’s heart for many years.
When she was younger and not in control of the Terence Group, she lacked
the position and authority to speak her mind.
Even after she became the head of the Quillen family’s business, her
personality, status, and position kept her from fully opening up to Felicity. If
not for Emmanuel encouraging her twice to mend her relationship with
Felicity, she wouldn’t have been able to express herself now.
“Yes, Mackenzie, you’re right!” Felicity nodded repeatedly, tears mixed with a
smile.
Her conversation with Mackenzie now nearly amounted to a year’s length of
conversations in the past.
“The inheritance from Father was distributed through a will. Grandpa didn’t
intend to withhold it from you forcibly.” Mackenzie continued to reason. “The
Quillen family’s animosity toward you stemmed from your consistent favor of
the Lenoir family. Reflect on this: Has the Quillen family treated you poorly? If
Grandpa truly doesn’t consider you his daughter-in-law, will he have chosen
to overlook your theft and assault in the Quillen residence when he had
enough evidence to throw you in prison?”
Her words made Felicity tremble slightly.
“Felicity, have you become a pawn for others?” Mackenzie finally delivered a
fatal blow to Felicity. “I hope you have your own thoughts and not be a
puppet led by others for your whole life. Think about what is most important
to you!”
“Yes, what is truly important for me?”
Felicity seemed somewhat lost, her current state contrasting greatly with her
usual elegant demeanor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had always thought that what she was doing was for her family and her
older brother, but after returning to the Lenoir residence for a time, she
realized that the Lenoir family was also just a puppet for others.
Claudette was already dead, Adolph had been forced away, Quintus had left
the Lenoir family for his freedom, and now, Laura was controlling the Lenoir
family, with others pulling the strings from behind.
Additionally, her parents had passed long ago.
Was the Lenoir family the same as the one she remembered? Were there
any reasons left for her to cling to the current Lenoir family?
“Come back to the Quillen family. Don’t foolishly oppose your own family and
daughter for the interests of others!”
While Mackenzie was the CEO of a company, she wasn’t good at heartfelt
conversations. Her conversation with Felicity that day was already a major
breakthrough for her. It was all thanks to that foolish Emmanuel that she was
able to change.
“But… will your aunts accept my return?” Felicity trembled as she spoke.
After learning of Magnus’ intentions earlier that day, she also felt rather
fearful. She realized how ridiculous her previous words were. She was never a
ruthless woman.
“If you genuinely want to come back, I will vouch for you!”
