âHey, donât worry! I will take good care of you!â
Beatrix was not a scheming woman. She immediately patted Frederick on the shoulder affectionately
with her small hand.
Frederickâs heart raced, but he forced himself to hold back before warning himself silently not to blush
or show any signs of embarrassment.
âFrederick, you can leave now!â
âYes, Ms. Quillen!â
After nodding, Frederick left. Beatrix was too enthusiastic and lively. He was afraid that he wouldnât be
able to handle this beautiful young lady if he walked too slowly.
âEmmanuel, what kind of person is Frederick?â
After Frederick left, Beatrix asked curiously. After all, Frederick was Emmanuelâs close friend.
âWellâ¦â
Emmanuel thought for a moment and immediately said, âAlthough Frederick is a bit introverted, he is
absolutely honest and trustworthy. Itâs pleasant to be friends with him, and heâs the type who would go
to great lengths for his friends!â
Upon hearing Emmanuelâs evaluation of Frederick, Beatrix had a good impression of Frederick. She
felt that she should nurture this subordinate well.
After all, as a manager, who wouldnât want to have some trusted allies?
Moreover, if she wanted to compete with Lara in the company in the future, she would definitely need
more help!
Unexpectedly, just as she was thinking this, Mackenzieâs office door was knocked.
In the next moment, Lara disregarded Lexiâs obstruction and burst in with an aggressive demeanor!
âLara, do you have something to say?â
Mackenzie looked at her sister with a cold and displeased expression.
She disliked it when people barged into her office without permission!
âMackenzie, Iâm sorry! But Lexi stopped me, and I had to come in!â
Lara still spoke respectfully to Mackenzie, but in the next moment, she pointed at Beatrix and shouted,
âWhy did you entrust a woman like her with a 75 million project? Does she have the capability? She
doesnât!â
âLara, donât⦠donât underestimate me!â Beatrix became furious instantly and stood her ground. âI lack
the capability? Do you have it, then? You traitor! You have no right to say that about me!â
âMe, a traitor? Everything I do is for the Quillen family! Youâre the one causing trouble for the Quillen
family!â
Lara was also emotionally charged and pushed Beatrix directly. She believed that it was the right
choice for Mackenzie and Gautier to be together, and Beatrix was hindering Mackenzie from making
the right decision!
Upen soping the
Lata was also emotionally charged and pushed Beatrix dirantly. She believed that it was the right
choice for Mackenzie and Gautier to be together, and Beatrix was hindering Mackenzie from making
the right decision
Upon seeing the situation, Emmanuel quickly tried to intervene, but unexpectedly Frederick, who had
just walked out heard the commotion and rushed back. He opened his arms to protect Beatrix and said
loudly Ms. Lare, this is a civilized society: Please refrain from physical aggression
âWho do you think you are? What business do you have interfering in the Quillen familyâs affairs?â
âShut up, Lara
Mackenzie finally reached her limit and reprimanded directly, 7 am the decision-maker of Terence
Group, and 1 have entrusted this project to Beatrix! If she falls, you can criticize her and even me, but I
wonât allow you to speak like this right now. Focus on your own responsibilities and stop thinking you
know better and causing trouble!â
If Lara wasnât her sister, Mackenzie would have fired her directly, but in order to avoid family turmoil,
she wanted to give Lara another chance.
âMackenzie! When will you come to your senses?â
Lara was still agitated and continued to argue.
âFrederick, escort her out!â
Mackenzie didnât want to hear another word from Lara and immediately instructed Frederick.
âYes, Ms. Quillen!â
Frederick turned his gaze toward Lara and said, âMs. Lara, please!â
âMackenzie-â
âLara, control yourself!â
Mackenzie noticed that Lara still hadnât realized her mistake and finally became angry. She raised her
voice unusually, and her icy stare pierced through Lara, causing her to tremble as if she had been
frozen solid!
âListen! If you dare to cause trouble on behalf of the Terence Group again or intrude into the superiorâs
office without authorization, I will fire you! I mean it!â
Mackenzieâs presence was fully unleashed.
Lara swallowed instinctively and finally lowered her head before apologizing. âMackenzie, I⦠I
understand! Iâm sorryâ¦â
âWhateverâ¦â
Beatrix noticed Laraâs defeated expression and secretly mocked her.
Although Lara was furious, she had no choice but to storm off.
