Chapter 1138 Delusional
70%
Beatrix couldn’t help but scoff in contempt when she saw Lara behaving this way. “What is
your position and role in Terence Group? Why should Mackenzie listen to you? Mackenzie
was simply being polite. It’s clear that her underlying message is that you shouldn’t
overestimate yourself!”
Beatrix had encountered people like Lara far too many times! Individuals like her were as
common as the fishes in the sea, especially on those platforms where they could get away
with saying anything they wanted.
These individuals were actually immature and ignorant. Yet, they enjoyed pointing out
flaws and criticizing experts on how things should be done. They would constantly act as if
they were smarter than Einstein himself. They even had the audacity to prance around,
acting as though they were rare geniuses who had been studying under Socrates and
Aristotle since the age of three. They may even start quoting some random philosopher
like Plato while acting all superior. Some delusional netizens would start bringing up
strategies that didn’t fit the bill and write puff pieces just to get some clicks.
In reality, they were nothing but clowns!
Lara was already embarrassed. However, she became infuriated after Beatrix’s tongue-
lashing as she hissed, “Beatrix, you’re just trying to create conflict between Mackenzie
and me. Well, I’ll show you just who’s in charge. Since I’ve returned, you’ll be yesterday’s
news soon enough! I’ll surpass you in no time, you loser! Hmph!”

She knew of Mackenzie’s influence within the Quillen family. Plus, she had always idolized
Mackenzie since she was a child. So, she didn’t dare to criticize her idol. Instead, she could
only vent her anger on Beatrix!
“Hmph! Big words for someone with zero achievements! Do you think I’d be afraid of
you?”
Beatrix, who had always had a fiery temper, was not intimidated by Lara’s arguments at
all. Rather, she didn’t hesitate to confront her directly, saying imperiously, “What’s the use
of learning multiple foreign languages? The business world values strength and
experience! It doesn’t care for people who can’t deliver results! Do you think speaking
with an accent would impress anyone? If that’s the case, I can start speaking in code!
What do you think of that then?!”
‘Alright, you two. That’s enough!”
Samantha quickly intervened before things could escalate further.
The Quillen girls had constantly been at odds with each other since they were young. Alas,
they didn’t expect that Beatrix and Lara, who were already 20, would start trash-talking
each other the moment they bumped into each other. They truly hadn’t matured even the
slightest!
“Fine. I won’t waste my breath on someone so childish. I’ve returned with a greater
purpose! I’m here to help the Quillen family regain its former glory!”
Lara was filled with somewhat unfounded confidence.
She didn’t care how the members of the family saw her. There was no denying the fact
that she had received an education abroad. Hence, there was no way she wasn’t going to
use this opportunity to show off.
Still, she immediately changed the subject the moment she caught sight of Emmanuel!
“Mackenzie, you can ignore my advice regarding other issues. However, there is one thing
you should listen to me about!”

Lara pointed at Emmanuel and said, “This scumbag is not worthy of you at all. To make
matters worse, news has gotten out that he’s been visiting nightclubs and fooling around
with women! You have to divorce him right now. This marriage has been a complete failure
from the start! Why continue being with a man who has brought nothing but shame to our
family?!”
As soon as Lara spoke, the other Quillen family members who were watching the show
started showing interest in how things were unfolding.
Hannah had been silent all evening because she had sold her shares and was determined
to have nothing to do with the Quillen family. She genuinely didn’t care if the family
succeeded or failed.
Nonetheless, her aloof demeanor was replaced with a glimmer of intrigue.
Samantha and her sisters knew that Lara had a flamboyant personality that they didn’t
particularly like. In fact, they couldn’t deny that they viewed her as a jester when they
were feeling particularly bored.
Regardless, they were more than willing to use Lara as their spokesperson tonight!
Once Lara brought up this particular topic, Sophie immediately spoke coldly, “Impressive!
Cheating on your spouse so soon?”
Moira, who rarely chimed in, couldn’t help but say to Terence, “Dad, is this the man you
chose for Mackenzie? Our family’s reputation is ruined!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFelicity was also disappointed in Emmanuel!
She had hoped to use him and Mackenzie to control the Quillen family. Unfortunately, this
man had done something that not only embarrassed himself but also affected Mackenzie’s
position in the Quillen family!
Terence remained silent.
Firstly, he didn’t believe Emmanuel was that kind of person.
Secondly, he was way past his prime. The relationship between Mackenzie and Emmanuel
was something they needed to resolve themselves.
Besides, he had done what he needed to do and said what he needed to say to both
Emmanuel and Mackenzie. What they did next was up to them!
“Don’t misunderstand Emmanuel. That was a business trip. He only did it because I told
him to go!” Mackenzie was aware that she, as his wife, was the only one who could
explain matters on his behalf. It wouldn’t work as well if it came out of Emmanuel’s mouth.
Indeed, her words were more powerful than a thousand explanations from Emmanuel.
What else could others say when the wife has made it clear that she had encouraged her
husband to have an affair?
The Quillen family was speechless!
“That’s enough, Mackenzie. You don’t need to protect this scumbag anymore. Matters of
the heart are complicated. We, as your family, understand what you’re going through!”
Lara, who believed she had uncovered the truth, arrogantly declared, “As the heir of the
Quillen family, your marriage is not just about yourself! Well, this is now a family matter.
All of us have a say in your marriage. So, let’s have a vote! Those in favor of Mackenzie
divorcing Emmanuel, please raise your hands!”
