“Yes. You,” Lauren said, adjusting her black-rimmed glasses. “The boss of Diamond Titan Military Technologies likes to do things differently, and we need someone of the same caliber to deal with him. After careful consideration, Shane, I believe you are the best candidate for this.” 

These words were nothing but lies. In reality, she was wondering if Shane was related to Henry. If it worked out, she would take credit for her unique insight; if it didn’t, Henry would support Shane. So, she didn’t have to go out of 

her way to do it herself. 

After making the announcement, Lauren walked over to Shane, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Shane, I have high expectations for you. Don’t disappoint me!” While waiting for the other members of the department to applaud, she gently nudged him and whispered, “Consider this a return for your favor earlier. Oh, and I forgot to 

mention. My family hasn’t owed anyone favors for about 400 years.” 

Wow! Your family stopped owing favors even earlier than my sect did? 

At this moment, Shane was trembling all over, unsure of how to feel. He felt incredibly grateful towards Lauren; she recognized his talent and potential. If this worked out, with so much money, he wouldn’t know how to spend it. Was he supposed to go to a nightclub and have fun with a dozen girls? He wasn’t that kind of person. Besides, the favor would be significant, and he wouldn’t know how to repay it. 

Everyone was envious of Shane. They wondered if he was just lucky, but he somehow managed to secure another 

major opportunity. 

Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Mackenzie returned to the Quillen residence. 

Although Mackenzie hadn’t been to work for the past two days, she still had control over the Terence Group’s major 

affairs. 

The second repair of Terence Tech Tower was underway, and although the new product had been successfully developed, it still needed further refinement. Mass production would require the establishment of a new production line. However, these were minor issues; the main challenge was that the market wasn’t fully developed 

yet. 

To make a profit and earn a fortune, it was necessary to rapidly expand the market. 

Although Emmanuel and Mackenzie hadn’t discussed it yet, they shared an understanding in their hearts: they had 

to increase the assets of the Quillen family by 60 percent within a year. Therefore, they were pinning their hopes on this new energy product. 

As they entered the front hall, they found their aunts Samantha, Sophie, and Hannah sitting there, along with Lara 

and Beatrix 

Aunt Samantha, Aunt Sophie, and Aunt Hannah, what brings you three here?” 

Seeing Emmanuel, Hannah still looked disdainful. Even though Emmanuel had contributed to the successful 

development of the new product last time, she still believed that the credit belonged to Lara and that Emmanuel had merely seized an opportunity

To make a profit and earn a fortune, it was necessary to rapidly expand the market. 

Although Emmanuel and Mackenzie hadn’t discussed it yet, they shared an understanding in their hearts: they had to increase the assets of the Quillen family by 60 percent within a year. Therefore, they were pinning their hopes on this new energy product. 

As they entered the front hall, they found their aunts Samantha, Sophie, and Hannah sitting there, along with Lara 

and Beatrix. 

“Aunt Samantha, Aunt Sophie, and Aunt Hannah, what brings you three here?” 

Seeing Emmanuel, Hannah still looked disdainful. Even though Emmanuel had contributed to the successful 

development of the new product last time, she still believed that the credit belonged to Lara and that Emmanuel had merely seized an opportunity. 

This demonstrated the power of prejudice. 

“Mackenzie, we’re here to share some news.” Samantha approached the couple with a smile, gently holding Mackenzie’s hand as she spoke. 

Felicity, upon hearing Mackenzie’s return, also came out to the front hall, arriving just in time to witness this scene. 

In her heart, she felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since her relationship with Mackenzie improved, she had grown 

even more resentful of Samantha’s closeness with Mackenzie. That’s my daughter, not hers! This woman really has 

no shame. 

“What news?” Mackenzie asked, playing along with Samantha. 

“Mackenzie, let me interrupt,” Lara interjected just as Samantha was about to speak. “You haven’t been at the 

company for the past couple of days. Gautier couldn’t find you, so he asked us to bring you some business information. The Verkade family is interested in collaborating with us on the new energy product, and they will help us expand our market. Additionally, they have already secured orders worth 150 million. In this partnership, we will split the profits 30/70, with them receiving 30 percent and us receiving 70 percent.” She spoke with a wide smile, believing that these terms were very generous for the Quillen family. 

Emmanuel couldn’t help but chuckle. Handing over the market development to the Verkade family? Wouldn’t that 

leave them vulnerable to the Verkade family’s control in the future? 

“What’s so funny?” Lara felt offended by Emmanuel’s reaction, even though he didn’t laugh out loud. 

Everyone’s attention shifted to Emmanuel, including Mackenzie’s. 

Hannah and Lara even appeared angry 

Therefore, Emmanuel had no choice but to speak his mind, “Why do we need to partner with the Verkade family? We can establish our own production line and expand the market independently. Why should we give away 30 

percent of the profit for nothing?”
