Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 473
The music playing in the background gave off a romantic vibe.
Tobias kept filling Mackenzieâs glass with wine. He eyed her in anticipation
while running his tongue across his lips.
Now I see why Quintus likes her. Sheâs gorgeous. A man wonât need a life
when he has her.
âCut to the chase, Tobias. How much are you investing in the Terence Group?
And in what terms will you be investing?â
Mackenzie remained the distant person she was. Even though the setâup
was romantic, she wasnât moved at all. Instead, it disgusted her.
If it wasnât for the financing for the Terence Group, she would have left earlier.
Since she called him out, Tobias slammed a 15 million check on the table.
Then, he crossed his legs as a proud look enveloped his expression. âMs.
Quillen, I might not know a thing about doing business, but Iâm wellâoff.â
Staring at the check, Mackenzie couldnât help but clench her fists before
shooting him a question. âWhat are the conditions you have for investing in
the Terence Group?â
The Quillen family was rather influential in the industry. Their assets were
worth almost a thousand million. Mackenzie never cared about 15 million in
the past, but the reality was cruel. The Lenoirs and the Verkades were working
together against the Quillen family. The Quillensâ chance of winning grew with
the investment of 15 million. Therefore, she would fight for it as long as there
was a chance.
âHa! I can invest more than 15 million in your familyâs business.â
Tobias laughed when he noticed the struggle on Mackenzieâs face. âMy
mother left me quite a legacy. I have a few million to spend. The Quillen
family doesnât stand a chance against the Lenoirs if I invest in the Lenoirs to
expand their energy market in Yeringham. Even though it wonât lead to
bankruptcy, the Quillen family will suffer quite a loss. Besides, it wonât be the
wealthiest family in Yeringham anymore.â
Mackenzie had to admit that his words hit a sore spot.
Tobias took in the change in her expression before he spoke up again.
âHowever, you and I together can push the Quillen family to the top if youâre
willing to marry me.â
She immediately turned him down in a cold voice. âNo way.â
A few million could never turn her head.
Even if she wasnât Emmanuelâs wife, she would never surrender herself to a
Sc*mbag like Tobias.
The corner of Tobiasâ lips twitched in annoyance.
Usually, he would have flipped the table and walked away.
However, he suppressed his anger this time and sighed. âIâm just suggesting. I
know you have misandry. Even Hubert and Quintus canât turn your head, let
alone me, who has nothing but a few assets.â
Mackenzie relaxed at his words and no longer tried to leave.
Tobias was mesmerized by her gorgeousness as he added, âMs. Quillen, now
that Iâm able to admire you in proximity, I must say youâre prettier than ever. I
canât believe Iâm falling head over heels for you. It never happened in the
past. What about this? Since Iâm fond of you, Iâll invest 15 million in the Terence
Group without a condition, provided that you finish, this drink. What do you
say?â
He couldnât help the curling of his lips after he finished the words.â
Mackenzie had her doubts, but she had no reason to leave at this point.
After a moment of hesitation, she raised the glass. âI donât see a problem if itâs
just one drink. However, I hope you can keep your promise. After all,
Emmanuel is still waiting for me outside.
Emmanuel? Tobiasâ face contorted in anger at the mention of the manâs
name.
I got slapped by Mr. Schmidt because of that loser! How dare she mention
him again? This is preposterous!
âSure.â The next moment, Tobias signed the contract. Then, he raised his glass
at Mackenzie with a smile.
Yesterday, he had no choice but to let Emmanuel be because his ace wasnât
around. However, he had Felix around today. Itâs not your lucky day, loser! And
Mackenzie, the icy female president of Yeringham. No man ever turns her
head, but everything will change tonight.
Tobias could barely contain his laughter.
