Chapter 1229 A Seemingly Generous Offer

“Yes. You,” Lauren said, adjusting her black-rimmed glasses. “The boss of Diamond Titan Military

Technologies likes to do things differently, and we need someone of the same caliber to deal with him.

After careful consideration, Shane, I believe you are the best candidate for this.”

These words were nothing but lies. In reality, she was wondering if Shane was related to Henry. If it

worked out, she would take credit for her unique insight; if it didn’t, Henry would support Shane. So,

she didn’t have to go out of her way to do it herself.

After making the announcement, Lauren walked over to Shane, patted him on the shoulder, and said,

“Shane, I have high expectations for you. Don’t disappoint me!” While waiting for the other members of

the department to applaud, she gently nudged him and whispered, “Consider this a return for your favor

earlier. Oh, and I forgot to mention. My family hasn’t owed anyone favors for about 400 years.”

Wow! Your family stopped owing favors even earlier than my sect did?

At this moment, Shane was trembling all over, unsure of how to feel. He felt incredibly grateful towards

Lauren; she recognized his talent and potential. If this worked out, with so much money, he wouldn’t

know how to spend it. Was he supposed to go to a nightclub and have fun with a dozen girls? He

wasn’t that kind of person. Besides, the favor would be significant, and he wouldn’t know how to repay

it.

Everyone was envious of Shane. They wondered if he was just lucky, but he somehow managed to

secure another major opportunity.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Mackenzie returned to the Quillen residence.

Although Mackenzie hadn’t been to work for the past two days, she still had control over the Terence

Group’s major affairs.

The second repair of Terence Tech Tower was underway, and although the new product had been

successfully developed, it still needed further refinement. Mass production would require the

establishment of a new production line. However, these were minor issues; the main challenge was

that the market wasn’t fully developed yet.

To make a profit and earn a fortune, it was necessary to rapidly expand the market.

Although Emmanuel and Mackenzie hadn’t discussed it yet, they shared an understanding in their

hearts: they had to increase the assets of the Quillen family by 60 percent within a year. Therefore,

they were pinning their hopes on this new energy product.

As they entered the front hall, they found their aunts Samantha, Sophie, and Hannah sitting there,

along with Lara and Beatrix

Aunt Samantha, Aunt Sophie, and Aunt Hannah, what brings you three here?”

Seeing Emmanuel, Hannah still looked disdainful. Even though Emmanuel had contributed to the

successful development of the new product last time, she still believed that the credit belonged to Lara

and that Emmanuel had merely seized an opportunity

“Aunt Samantha, Aunt Sophie, and Aunt Hannah, what brings you three here?”

Seeing Emmanuel, Hannah still looked disdainful. Even though Emmanuel had contributed to the

successful development of the new product last time, she still believed that the credit belonged to Lara

and that Emmanuel had merely seized an opportunity.

This demonstrated the power of prejudice.

“Mackenzie, we’re here to share some news.” Samantha approached the couple with a smile, gently

holding Mackenzie’s hand as she spoke.

Felicity, upon hearing Mackenzie’s return, also came out to the front hall, arriving just in time to witness

this scene.

In her heart, she felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since her relationship with Mackenzie improved, she

had grown even more resentful of Samantha’s closeness with Mackenzie. That’s my daughter, not

hers! This woman really has no shame.

“What news?” Mackenzie asked, playing along with Samantha.

“Mackenzie, let me interrupt,” Lara interjected just as Samantha was about to speak. “You haven’t been

at the

company for the past couple of days. Gautier couldn’t find you, so he asked us to bring you some

business information. The Verkade family is interested in collaborating with us on the new energy

product, and they will help us expand our market. Additionally, they have already secured orders worth

150 million. In this partnership, we will split the profits 30/70, with them receiving 30 percent and us

receiving 70 percent.” She spoke with a wide smile, believing that these terms were very generous for

the Quillen family.

Emmanuel couldn’t help but chuckle. Handing over the market development to the Verkade family?

Wouldn’t that leave them vulnerable to the Verkade family’s control in the future?

“What’s so funny?” Lara felt offended by Emmanuel’s reaction, even though he didn’t laugh out loud.

Everyone’s attention shifted to Emmanuel, including Mackenzie’s.

Hannah and Lara even appeared angry

Therefore, Emmanuel had no choice but to speak his mind, “Why do we need to partner with the

Verkade family? We can establish our own production line and expand the market independently. Why

should we give away 30 percent of the profit for nothing?”
