Chapter 1248 No Turning Back
“Mackenzie, do you think the Quillen family must ally with the Verkade family to dominate Yeringham
and become a formal member of the National Chamber of Commerce?” Emmanuel asked earnestly.
“Not necessarily,” Mackenzie replied seriously. “I actually have another way, but it may not be easier
than allying with the Verkade family.”
“Oh! I’d love to hear it,” Emmanuel responded with interest.
“The Quillen family will participate in the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown.”
“What?!” As soon as Mackenzie finished speaking, Emmanuel was taken aback. He never imagined
that she would
be interested in such an event.
“Your reaction seems a bit excessive, doesn’t it?” Mackenzie, with her keen observation, stared at
Emmanuel and
asked.
“Yes, I’m quite surprised.” Emmanuel laughed and tried to cover it up as he said, “Aren’t women
generally uninterested in fighting and killing?”
“I’m not like Claudette, a gentle and virtuous woman,” Mackenzie said coldly.
The sudden mention of Claudette caught Emmanuel off guard. He was surprised at how difficult it was
to deal with
her words now.

In fact, he received a call from Ashton today. She led a team to investigate that strange plantation.
They indeed found no second person, no tunnels, secret passages, or hidden rooms, which dispelled
Emmanuel’s various
doubts.
After all, Ashton had mentioned that many beautiful women were captured and taken to the deep
mountains and forests. They were secretly imprisoned by men as playthings, suffering torture and living
a life worse than death.
This was Emmanuel’s greatest fear.
Now that Claudette had not been found, he was worried but somewhat relieved in this regard.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Are you lost in memories when I mention your old flame?” Mackenzie
regretted it. She
shouldn’t have mentioned Claudette’s name, which gave Emmanuel a legitimate reason to think about
other
women in front of her.
“Mackenzie, let’s talk about business.” Emmanuel knew that Mackenzie would be jealous of Claudette,
so he quickly brought the topic back. He was full of survival instinct.
“My opinion is that we can sign up for the showdown. After all, it’s a major way to enhance the family’s
reputation and popularity. However, we can also talk to Gautier. Maybe he is sincere. As long as the
conditions are not excessive, it’s worth considering.”
In business, he couldn’t always mix personal affection and work. He could negotiate with people he
didn’t like as

In business, he couldn’t always mix personal affection and work. He could negotiate with people he
didn’t like as long as it benefited the Quillen family and the Terence Group.
The most important thing was that Mackenzie insisted on participating in the showdown to expand the
reputation and influence of the Quillen family. By then, he would definitely have to contribute to the
Quillen family. He would
then have to confront the Chapman family.
At that time, he would be overwhelmed, and his true identity would be exposed within minutes. He
didn’t want
things to go in that way.
In fact, what he said was exactly what Mackenzie thought. She directly responded, “Well, let’s do that.”
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Gautier found his father standing behind him.
“Gautier, did you make an appointment with Mackenzie?”
“Well, there’s no turning back after you make a decision. Since I’ve taken the first step, I can only keep
going. I’m going to take over Hubert and continue to be Mackenzie’s loyal flatterer.” Gautier laughed at
himself.

flatterer. His feelings were indeed unpredictable.
William sighed slightly and nodded silently. “Now that Magnus is dead, it’s indeed the best time for us
to break free from the control of the Zelinsky family. However, the Zelinsky family and the Quillen family
are mortal enemies. If we ally with the Quillen family, we will stand against the Zelinsky family.”
“Dad, do we have a choice now?” Gautier retorted.
After pondering for a moment, William let out a sigh and placed his hand on Gautier’s shoulder. “I’ll
leave the decision up to you. I’m just concerned that we won’t be able to satisfy either side. And if that
happens, our family will be finished. This is strictly business.”
Gautier also felt an immense amount of pressure.
The business world was filled with countless options. Some individuals soared to great heights through
a series of wise choices, while others lost everything due to a single misstep.
Nevertheless, being renowned as a business prodigy in Yeringham, Gautier possessed a certain level
of
confidence.
The following day, Emmanuel received a phone call from Alessandra, requesting his return to assist
Jack with the wedding preparations.
As Emmanuel hesitated to respond, Mackenzie, who was standing beside him, took hold of his phone
and replied, “Mom, Emmanuel needs to accompany me for something important right now. I’ll make
arrangements for
