Chapter 1169 An Unfavorable Plot Against the Quillens
77%1
Laura was stupefied for quite some time before regaining her voice, saying seriously,
“Felicity, I won’t go into that discussion with you now. Just tell me. Are you willing to help
me break up Emmanuel and Mackenzie, have her marry Gautier, use our families’ alliance
to support the Lendir family, and find a way to bring my darling back?”
Seeing her so passionate, Felicity immediately fell into hesitation and contemplation.
Meanwhile, Terence and Alfred had returned to the Quillen residence.
As soon as they got out of the car, Marilyn approached with a full smile, limping toward
them.
“Old Mr. Quillen, welcome back!” she greeted while trying to put a coat on Terence. The
weather had been unpredictable lately, and she was afraid he might catch a cold.

Alfred silently observed the scene. It didn’t seem like a maid receiving the master; rather,
it resembled a husband coming home warmly greeted by his considerate wife.
“Marilyn, your leg hasn’t fully recovered. Don’t move too much!” Terence also expressed
concern.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese days, Marilyn had been serving him wholeheartedly and often keeping him
company in conversation. Human hearts were made of flesh, and Terence, a kind man,
would reciprocate the kindness toward whoever was
nice to him.
“Don’t worry about me!” Marilyn, receiving Terence’s care, smiled even brighter. Then she
quickly reported, “Old Mr.
Quillen, a beautiful lady arrived at our residence earlier!”
Hearing the term “our residence,” Alfred frowned, directly reprimanding, “Marilyn, mind
your words!”
Marilyn quickly lowered her head, desperately apologizing, even though she didn’t know
exactly what she said
wrongly.
“Come on, Alfred, don’t be so harsh on Marilyn. She’s still a child, inexperienced, not so
accustomed to formalities!”
Terence quickly stopped Alfred, protecting Marilyn.
As a servant of the Quillen family, it wasn’t exactly wrong of her to use “our residence.”
“Where is the beautiful lady now?”
“She’s chatting in Ms. Lenoir’s room, sir. No need for our attendance,” Marilyn said, and
Terence immediately
furrowed his brows.
Although he had noticed Felicity’s recent changes, he still couldn’t help feeling suspicious
of the fact that someone had come looking for her when they left the Quillen residence
that day.
“Alfred, come with me to Felicity’s room. Let’s meet this esteemed guest!”
“Yes, sir!” Alfred followed Terence to Felicity’s room.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Laura was behaving emotionally. She slammed a phone onto
the table and said coldly, “Felicity, I have a video here. I need your connections to help
promote the relationship between Gautier and Mackenzie. As long as we gain the support
of Yeringham’s public opinion, Mackenzie will eventually leave Emmanuel and be with
Gautier!”
“I-” Felicity was a bit surprised and hesitant. She didn’t expect Laura to have already
planned out nicely. It seemed that she and the Verkade family had already discussed and
maybe even reached some agreement before Laura
came over.

left in this world. Are you going to stand by and watch him not return to Yeringham, not
rescue him and the Lenoir family?!” Laura applied pressure to Felicity once again.
Felicity sighed slightly, about to agree, when a knock came at the door.
Knock, knock…
“Who is it?!” Felicity, feeling a bit guilty, asked nervously.
“Ms. Lenoir, Old Mr. Quillen heard that a guest has come to visit you and specially came to
meet them.”
“Huh? Oh, come in!” After Felicity agreed, the door swung open.
Terence glanced around as he entered, not only seeing Laura but also noticing the phone,
which seemed to be playing some sort of video, on the table.
“Quillen… Old Mr. Quillen! Hello!” Laura, seeing Terence’s gaze, was slightly startled but
quickly put on a smile and
tucked away her phone.
“My, it’s you, Madam Verkade. Welcome! Haha, why didn’t you tell me you’re coming
over?” Terence laughed heartily, but there was a glint in his eyes.
How could he not guess that Laura came to talk to Felicity precisely because she learned
that the entire Quillen family would be observing the experiment that day? From this, he
deduced that she must be plotting something unfavorable to the Quillen family.
