Chapter 1308 Acquisition of the Shares

རཱི、 40%.

Upon hearing a single sentence from Mackenzie, Emmanuel unexpectedly felt a surge of pride, reminiscent of the moment he first gained recognition from his master in the Northern Region.

After changing their clothes, the two of them proceeded to the banquet hall.

Since Terence was absent, Mackenzie occupied the host’s seat while Emmanuel sat beside her.

Gautier occupied a guest seat, and Lara had been accompanying him.

Mackenzie deliberately avoided discussing business matters until Gautier could no longer contain himself. He

took the initiative to say, “Mackenzie, I came here today not only to inquire about your and Emmanuel’s safety but also to discuss something with you.”

All eyes immediately turned to Mackenzie.

Despite her cold expression, Mackenzie paid great attention to table manners. After setting down what she was holding, she calmly responded, “Mr. Gautier, please proceed.”

Gautier nodded and stated in a rare display of humility, “Although I am aware that I am not worthy of you, nor can the Verkade family form a marriage alliance with the Quillen family, the Verkade family still sincerely wishes to cooperate with the Quillen family. If you don’t mind, we can sell our shares to you. In doing so, the two families can work together to grow and strengthen.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Quillen family gasped in shock.

Even Mackenzie hadn’t anticipated that Gautier would actually take the initiative to offer her the opportunity to acquire the shares of the Verkade family.

If this were to happen, it meant the Verkade family willingly became a subordinate family to the Quillen family.

“Mr. Verkade, you are overestimating me. The Verkade family holds at least 12 billion worth of Verkade Group shares. I do not possess that much capital to acquire your shares,” Mackenzie responded with a strategic retreat.

She was well aware of the Verkade family’s predicament. If they did not replace a backer soon, they would have to sell their stocks. Otherwise, once Hattie took action, they would be doomed.

“Mackenzie, as I mentioned during the press conference, I am willing to transfer all my shares to you. Even if you are not my bride, I will still fulfill my promise.” Gautier continued to lower his bottom line. “I can give you my shares and my father can offer you a discount on his shares as well. So, you would only need at most 6 billion to acquire all our shares and become the new chairman of Verkade Group.”

The Quillen family became increasingly astonished.

However, they all understood why the Verkade family was making this offer. Since Gautier had chosen to betray Hattie, he had to be prepared to face the wrath of the Zelinsky family.

*Mackenzie, are you heartless or cold-blooded?” Lara, observing that Mackenzie had not yet agreed, angrily slammed her cutlery on the table and stood up. She exclaimed with fury, “I truly don’t understand. Gautier is so outstanding, wholeheartedly devoted to you, and willing to go through obstacles for you. Yet, you can repeatedly hurt him like this. I can’t bear to watch anymore. Mackenzie, I am so disappointed in you”

Beatrix rolled her eyes and let out a deep sigh. She wondered how both she and Mackenzie could be so intelligent yet had such a foolish younger sister.

She wondered how Lara got into MIT with that kind of intellect.

Beatrix rolled her eyes and let out a deep sigh. She wondered how both she and Mackenzie yet had such a foolish younger sister.

She wondered how Lara got into MIT with that kind of intellect.

Mackenzie chose to ignore her sister’s words.

Before Beatrix could engage in her usual banter with Lara, Emmanuel said, “Mackenzie, given these conditions, perhaps we should consider acquiring it.”

He believed that acquiring the Verkade family’s shares would enhance the status and influence of the Quillen family. Besides, it would be advantageous for them to join the National Chamber of Commerce and become one of the top twenty official members.

Despite knowing that Gautier was using the Quillen family as a means to an end, he had chosen the opportune moment to make his move. Regardless of his capabilities, and considering that the Quillen family currently needed to rely on the Verkade family as well, it might be worth keeping a close eye on him. If he ever showed any signs of betrayal, they could eliminate him immediately.

Mackenzie, who had been refusing all along, immediately nodded upon hearing Emmanuel’s words. “Alright then. Mr. Gautier, if you are so sincere, I will send someone to discuss the acquisition with you tomorrow.”

When this statement was uttered, it immediately infuriated Lara, who kicked her chair and left the room in tears while holding back her anger.

She couldn’t understand why Mackenzie had never responded to Gautier’s humble pleas but had readily agreed on the acquisition upon Emmanuel’s casual remark.

She wondered if Mackenzie had been enchanted by Emmanuel, which made her so affectionate toward him.
