Chapter 1442

Old Mr. Summerton appeared pleasantly surprised. “I’m

afraid the Summerton family is too small to be useful to

international giants!”

Yasmine smiled. “The Summerton family has been a

noble lineage in Chanaea for a century. If even the

Summerton family is considered small, then there may

not be any major families in Chanaea!”

Hearing this, Old Mr. Summerton was rather surprised,

and he burst into laughter. “Please refrain from mocking

the Summerton family further. Chanaea has long

abolished the aristocracy system. Our family is simply a

fading ancient lineage, devoid of real influence now!”

Yasmine disregarded his humility and stated bluntly, “The

covert Summerton family still commands numerous

armed forces, possessing formidable military might! Your

family in Onza also maintains extensive partnerships with

weapon manufacturers. Who would dare underestimate

you? We at Airspace Group are interested in acquiring

some of your clandestine factories. Perhaps you could

opt to supply us with advanced weaponry?”

Old Mr. Summerton’s expression turned serious as he

responded, “I have distanced myself from the affairs of

the Summerton family for many years. Approaching me

for such matters is futile!”

“Well, shall I seek out your son then? Or your grandson?

Do you believe they are capable? I’ve heard that your

grandson lacks the courage to marry the woman he

loves!” Yasmine remarked unabashedly.

After a moment of contemplation, just as Yasmine was

about to depart, Old Mr. Summerton called out to her.

“Wait. Let me think about this!”

Yasmine’s lips curved up slightly. “Then I’ll give you until

the end of the Grand Martial Showdown to think about it,

Old Mr. Summerton. If you decline, I might consider

collaborating with the Tanner family, though that could

be troublesome!”

Responding to the potent threat, Old Mr. Summerton

couldn’t help but inquire, “Do you also have ties with the

Tanner family of Zovince? What exactly is your agenda?

Are you aiming to disrupt the current global order?”

Whether it was Teddy or the Airspace Group, both

wielded immense power capable of toppling nations. If

they were indeed colluding behind the scenes, it wouldn’t

be surprising if they orchestrated something

monumental!

However, Yasmine simply sneered. “I’m sorry, I can’t

disclose that information!”

With that, she sauntered away.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel returned home to replace the Quillen

sisters engrossed in their tasks.

Now that the branch company was established, there

were many things, both significant and trivial, requiring

their attention.

“Emmanuel, you’re back? You might be in a

predicament!” Beatrix whispered to him.

Emmanuel’s expression froze instantly, and he forced a

smile. “What mischief are you up to now, Beatrix?”

Beatrix stuck out her tongue and suggested, “Go into

Mackenzie’s room and come clean!”

Emmanuel had no choice but to take Beatrix’s advice.

When had his relationship with Mackenzie become so

delicate?

Nonetheless, he went into Mackenzie’s room.

During his conversation with his mother on the phone.

earlier, a thought had crossed his mind. Was Mackenzie

pregnant? It was a good opportunity to replace out.

“Back so soon?” Mackenzie seemed more cheerful today,

focusing on her work on the screen with a serious

expression as she spoke to Emmanuel.

“Yes, I’m back.” Emmanuel nodded and broached the

topic of Roselynn and Julian.

To his surprise, Mackenzie cut to the chase. “Why did

Ashton ask you to pretend to be her boyfriend?”

“Well, you see-” Emmanuel was caught off guard,

realizing this was the pressing issue.

“I just don’t understand. With so many men available,

why did she come to you?” Mackenzie finally shifted her

gaze from the screen to him.

She didn’t wish to prolong the silent treatment because

she found it draining. So, she decided to address the

matter directly and convey her stance.

Although Emmanuel didn’t want her to become upset, he

knew it was better for her to express her feelings rather

than keep them bottled up. He quickly explained, “I was

taken by surprise when she asked me to cover for her.

I’m sorry! I should have declined right away!”

Mackenzie sighed and clarified, “I wasn’t specifically

investigating you, and it’s not that I don’t trust you. Lexi,

who was also at the party, informed me about it!”

Emmanuel nodded, not blaming Lexi. On the contrary,

having someone like her looking out for Mackenzie made

him feel reassured.

“Mackenzie, I was wrong. I promise I won’t cover for

anyone else in the future!”
