Chapter 911 He’s Not the Only One

Archibald opened his mouth in shock, and his expression turned furious. However, Stanley didn’t waste

any time. He directly stuffed the debt note into his son’s mouth!

If this incident left Terence Group resentful, their company would likely go bankrupt in the coming

minutes!

“Hmm-Mm! Mm!” Archibald wanted to struggle but didn’t dare to. He swallowed the paper in agony, and

his face turned purple.

Godfrey couldn’t help but shiver at the sight, but he didn’t have a better outcome. Without a word from

Emmanuel or Mackenzie, his father, Ronald Hewitt, rushed out from the crowd, slapped the back of his

head hard, and yelled at him, “You fool! What are you waiting for? Eat the debt note now!”

Without a word, Ronald tore the debt note in half, giving half to his son and swallowing the other half

himself. It seemed that he wanted to finish it before Archibald did.

“Haha…” The crowd elicited laughter.

The media went crazy taking pictures, and after the Zilmont and Hewitt father-son duos had swallowed

the debt notes, they quickly ran away before Mackenzie could say anything. They acted as if nothing

had happened!

“That concludes today’s press conference. Thank you all!” With the matter completely resolved,

Mackenzie didn’t want to waste another moment and announced the end of the event. The once cool

and composed female CEO now appeared even colder than before!

After the press conference, the Quillens returned to the Quillen residence, where Terence prepared a

grand feast.

At the banquet, Terence was in high spirits and insisted on sharing a drink or two with Emmanuel, the

only other man present.

“Haha, Emmanuel, you’re quite remarkable! How did you know that Terence Group’s stocks would

make a comeback?” After downing another glass of wine, Terence asked Emmanuel.

The entire Quillen family, especially Mackenzie, was eager to hear Emmanuel’s response.

“Hmph, it must’ve been a lucky guess!” Hannah muttered softly.

In her eyes, Emmanuel perfectly embodied the characteristics of a commoner: no money, no abilities,

fond of bragging, overly optimistic, and reckless in his actions. How could he have had any strategic

thinking at that time? He probably thought that plotlines played out just like in the novels and cartoons

he enjoyed. It was precisely this randomness that irritated her.

“Yes, it was a lucky guess!” Emmanuel retorted angrily, acknowledging it openly, playing along with

Hannah’s comment.

“Oh? Were you that lucky?” Terence pretended to believe and guffawed. He raised his glass to

Emmanuel once more. “It seems like you truly are this family’s lucky star. Here, another drink!”

Emmanuel drank along with him. He regarded Terence like a grandfather since he had lost his own at

an early age.

“Emmanuel, I’m quite pleased with how you protected Mackenzie today. From now on, I entrust

Mackenzie to you!” Terence continued with a hearty tone. He knew that several of his daughters had

yet to fully accept Emmanuel, so he needed to support him.

“Of course, Grandpa, I will protect Mackenzie with my life!” Emmanuel nodded and also took the

opportunity to steal a glance at Mackenzie, whose expression appeared somewhat strange, and she

even, quite unusually, smiled at Emmanuel in public.

She was undoubtedly touched by Emmanuel’s protection earlier that day. However, he wasn’t the only

one who had protected her in life-and-death situations
