Chapter 732
Emmanuel didn’t go in. He just came to familiarize himself with the
environment and further understand the energy industry of the Terence
Group.
Can there be a connection between the two things Magnus wants from the
Quillen family and these regular energy products?
At 4 p.m., Emmanuel received a call from Mackenzie.

He was a little surprised!
“Hey, Emmanuel. Come pick me up at 5 p.m. and take me back to the Quillen
family.”
“Back to the Quillen family?”
Emmanuel was even more curious.
“Yeah, Grandpa insists we go back, and he also said…”
Mackenzie was unusually hesitant.
“What did he say?”
Emmanuel’s curiosity was piqued.
“He didn’t say anything. Just come pick me up, and we’ll have dinner
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttogether.”
Mackenzie wouldn’t say.
She didn’t dare to tell him.
Terence told her it was a celebration banquet.
With Mackenzie’s intelligence, it was easy to guess what kind of celebration
that might be!
It couldn’t possibly be something good.
“Fine.
Emmanuel agreed. Although he was a little puzzled, he still arrived at the
Terence Group on time to pick up Mackenzie and return to the Quillen
residence.
As soon as the car stopped, Alfred came over and opened the car door for
Mackenzie.
“Ms. Mackenzie, everyone is waiting for you in the banquet hall.”
“Alright.”
Mackenzie nodded, waiting for Emmanuel to come over. Then, she hooks her
arm through his. With the situation as it was, she figured she might as well
use the opportunity to introduce Emmanuel to the Quillen family.
However, Emmanuel was still in the dark regarding the actual purpose of that
night’s so-called celebration banquet. Nevertheless, since he was here, he’d
just take it as it came. He felt no pressure.
Nn the living room.
Seated around a substantial table measuring 20*3 meters were members of
the Quillen family.
Just like before, except for Terence, there wasn’t a single man in sight!
Upon seeing Mackenzie and Emmanuel enter, everyone was wearing smiles,
yet their eyes held different gleams.
“Mackenzie, you’re back! Have a seat.”
Samantha came up with a big smile, warmly holding Mackenzie’s hand, and
took her away from Emmanuel.
“Emmanuel, you should take your seat too!”
Although Samantha was enthusiastic toward Emmanuel, it was different
from how she treated Mackenzie.
Emmanuel didn’t mind. He nodded with a smile, ready to sit down with
Mackenzie.
However, Mackenzie quietly reminded him, “Greet everyone and praise them
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmore.
Mackenzie was also conflicted.
She was not drawn to smooth-talking men, but she wanted Emmanuel to be
accepted by the other members of the Quillen family!
If Emmanuel was still as straightforward as before, he would probably be
hated by the women in the Quillen family.
“Grandpa, good evening. You’re looking well today!”
“Aunt Stephanie, good evening…”
“Aunt Sofia…”
“Aunt Samantha…”
Under Mackenzie’s reminder, Emmanuel took the initiative to greet everyone
in the Quillen family, with a humble and respectful smile.
His feelings were quite complicated at the moment.
He wasn’t the kind of man who relied on smooth talk, but he was making this
effort for Mackenzie’s sake, stepping outside his comfort zone.
The Quillen family was a prestigious household with numerous traditions.
Furthermore, on a day like this, Emmanuel and Mackenzie were the central
figures. Before Emmanuel had finished exchanging pleasantries with all
Quillen family members, Terence wouldn’t announce the start of the
banquet.
