Chapter 900 Terence Group’s Demise
“First, Sebastian Oatley’s case has been classified as a murder. The footage of you tampering with his car tires was accidentally caught on surveillance cameras, so Emmanuel will definitely target you first. Second, as my personal bodyguard, you’ll have to protect me even if Emmanuel decides to come after me. Am I right?”
Magnus concluded, watching Blake with a sly grin.
Blake laughed heartily, slapping his thigh. “Fantastic! You cunning b*stard, using your status to pressure me. It seems I’ll have to face off with Emmanuel.”
“Are you afraid of him?” Magnus asked, clearly trying to provoke Blake.
But Blake didn’t play by the rules either. He smacked his thigh again and exclaimed, “Afraid? Hell, yes! Why wouldn’t I be? What if I can’t beat him? He’s the guy who effortlessly defeated Quinn!”
Blake’s reputation was well–known, but Emmanuel had an impressive track record as well. Heroes respected each other, so typically, experts wouldn’t willingly engage in a life–or–death battle unless absolutely necessary. Winning a fight didn’t earn you any rewards, and losing would spell disaster. Anybody would be afraid.
“I’m truly disappointed in your response.” Magnus shook his head and sighed. “But luckily, your answer was, within my calculations. So, for your safety, I temporarily took you out of Yeringham. Do you understand how good I am to you now?”
Blake was taken aback for a moment and then grinned widely. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If I had said I wasn’t afraid of Emmanuel just now, I’m sure you’d have had another set of arguments, right?”
Magnus smiled without saying a word, essentially confirming it.
Blake expressed some regret, saying, “You’ve planned meticulously to bring down the Quillen family, all to get Terence Quillen to reveal those two things. Tomorrow should be the historic moment when Terence Group falls, and I really wanted to see it in person!”
Magnus, however, chuckled and said, “Strategists who make plans from behind the scenes rarely set foot on the battlefield. You should get used to that if you’re going to stick with me.”
With that, he pushed up his glasses, and his eyes shone with the triumphant light of a victor. He couldn’t help but wonder how desperate Emmanuel and Mackenzie would be the next day.
On the other side, Emmanuel returned to Yociam Residence in the late hours. Although it was expected, he still felt a bit disappointed when he didn’t find Mackenzie at home.
He had thought about calling her to let her know he was back in Yeringham, but he reconsidered, realizing that it was late and she was probably already asleep. In reality, Mackenzie wouldn’t have a chance to sleep that night. Upon his return to Yeringham, she had already received news that Oscar had joined other shareholders in a frenzy of selling Terence Group’s stocks.
Rumors of Terence Group’s default and bankruptcy were spreading like wildfire. Under the impact of these two blows, the stock price of Terence Group hit the limit down for four consecutive days. All factions in Yeringham had utterly lost confidence in the company. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Together, Mackenzie and the entire Quillen family had spent the night brainstorming solutions. Mackenzie had even instructed Lexi to arrange an early morning press conference. It was imperative to clarify the bankruptcy crisis and restore confidence in Terence Group, hoping to attract new capital to turn the tide.
Early the next morning, Mackenzie rushed to the press conference venue. On her way, she received a call from Alessandra.
“Mackenzie, I heard that Terence Group is in a precarious situation lately! Will it affect your work?” Alessandra’s tone was filled with concern.
Mackenzie couldn’t help but smile wryly. It was fortunate that Alessandra was unaware of her true identity, thinking she was just an executive at Terence Group. Otherwise, she might be even more worried. At the same time, she felt a wave of gratitude for Alessandra’s concern.
