Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 551

“Hahaha! Alright! I trust you, of course!” Terence was even more elated than

usual, surpassing the joy he felt at festive occasions after hearing

Mackenzie’s words.

He was a wise old man who understood the importance of trust in a

marriage and that a couple’s relationship is only secure if they trust each

other. Nonetheless, money was not a priority for a seventy–year–old man like

him; rather, he was concerned with ensuring that the family name would be

carried on. It seemed pointless to him to amass wealth if there would be no

heir to pass it on to.

“Are you sure you want to sell that, Old Mr. Quillen?” Alfred asked as he

approached Terence after he got off the phone.

“Now that things have reached this point, I have no other choice.” Terence

sighed and continued, “It goes without saying that a company’s cash flow is

essential to its survival. The alliance between the Lenoir and Verkade families

has pushed us to the brink. We have to give it our all!”

After hearing this, Alfred nodded understandingly. A part of him knew that the

Lenoir and Verkade families, despite being so powerful that everyone else

considered them to be on par with the Quillen family, would never be able to

win once the Quillen family brought out their trump card.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie had mixed feelings following her conversation with her

grandfather. Despite her desire to have complete faith in Emmanuel, the

photos and video were like needles that had sunk deep within her, making

her extremely uncomfortable. Even as she lay in bed that night, she began to

have second thoughts.

The following day at Lenoir Residence, groups of medical personnel could be

seen coming and going from the house early in the morning.

At this time, Elizabeth was in the house and observing the flurry of activity as

varying fame and renown doctors performed medical exams and consulted

with one another. Claudette’s condition is deteriorating, and her vital signs

are dropping. We would lose her forever if she did not regain consciousness

within three days.

On the other hand, a large group of medical professionals, including

renowned specialists Juan Gomez and Zander Brooks, as well as some

alternative medicine experts and quacks, gathered in a hall to discuss the

most effective treatment for Claudette.

They were aware that her condition stemmed from problems with two major

organs, the heart, and the brain, as it was difficult to treat even one of them.

Despite the best efforts of the cardiologists treating the heart and the

neurologists treating the brain, no one believed she could be saved because

it was difficult for them to treat the individual organs, let alone work together

on a patient with both problems.

In the meantime, Juan and Zander had given up fairly early when they

realized there was no chance of saving Claudette’s life. However, only the

quacks and those dabbling in alternative medicine kept shouting their

opinions at the top of their lungs.

“Hahaha. You people can’t treat these types of conditions! You’ll have to rely

on me! Look here. I have this pill, the elixir of life! It can cure all conditions. It

only takes one pill to bring Ms. Lenoir back from the brink of death!”

“Hah! As if you can do anything. With my nine needles technique, I won’t even

need to use any medication! Needless to say, Ms. Lenoir woke up the second

I inserted them!”

“My revitalization massage technique has revived many who were on their

deathbeds! Allow me to massage Ms. Lenoir, and I guarantee she will leap

out of bed immediately!”

On the other hand, Juan was disgusted by these fairytale–like claims. It’s all

because of those darn s that have brainwashed people these days!

Everyone believes in these quacks with their fantastical claims about healing

people. What a load of hogwash!

Suddenly, a booming, authoritative voice rang out across the hall. “Excellent!

Excellent! You’re all confident that you can save my daughter, right?” Then,

Adolph entered the room, accompanied by eight men dressed in military

uniform, and an imposing aura swept across the room, making it difficult for

the others to breathe.

At this instant, those boasting about themselves earlier clammed up.

“Who were the ones who said they could treat my daughter? i don’t care

what you do. If anyone succeeds, I’ll immediately hand over 7.5 million in

cash!”

Meanwhile, all of the quack doctors and alternative medicine experts

immediately lit up at the mention of 7.5 million.

After seeing their reactions, Adolph’s gaze grew murderous as he added

viciously, “However, if anyone is simply here to trick me into giving him money

without actually saving my daughter, I’ll end his life right here, right now!”

“What?!”

The crowd jumped in fright before scrambling backward.

Nonetheless, Juan pointed to the few who boasted earlier and said sternly,

“Weren’t you full of confidence earlier? You said you have the elixir of life, you

said you have a miraculous needle technique, and you said you have an

invincible massage technique. Well, go on then! It’s time for you to prove

-yourself!”

After hearing this, the three people immediately retreated.

Then, Adolph fixed his eyes on them and barked, “Who here has the

confidence to save my daughter? I’ll give them three million upfront!”
