Sophie and Hannah usually heeded Samantha’s words. However, at this moment, while they didn’t argue with
Samantha, they didn’t believe the situation could be resolved so easily.
“Thank you for coming to support me, Aunts. I’m about to head to the press conference.”
Mackenzie didn’t want to engage in further conversations with this group of women, and she certainly didn’t want
to argue with them. She had always kept in mind what Emmanuel had told her, ‘family harmony leads to
prosperity.‘ However, she couldn’t help but wonder where that fool was and what he was doing, having disappeared
for several days.

usual.
The press conference was about to begin, and in one corner of the venue, a rugged man with one arm was fixated
on the seats in the center of the event. This man was Everett, who had lost an arm due to the Snake Master.
Seeing people from backstage coming out, he immediately instructed a bald man by his side, “Get ready; today,
we’re going to pluck the feathers of the Yeringham Phoenix. Ha ha! They say a featherless phoenix is not as good
as a chicken. I wonder how much fun it will be!”
The bald man laughed. “Rest assured. Our debt collection agency has never gotten a bad review!”
At the same time, Mackenzie, escorted by her bodyguards, emerged from the backstage into the event hall.
“Look! Mackenzie has finally appeared!” someone screamed, and immediately, a crowd of reporters and onlookers
surrounded her, preventing her from even reaching her designated seat for the press conference.
“Ms. Quillen, we heard that Terence Group is facing billions in default penalties. How do you plan to deal with it?”
“Ms. Quillen, Terence Group’s stock has hit the limit down for several days and is on the brink of bankruptcy. What
are your plans after bankruptcy?”
“Ms. Quillen, you’re so beautiful. Do you have any plans to enter the entertainment industry, or do you have other
money–making schemes in mind?”
The reporters were asking their questions without regard for the event’s decorum.
Mackenzie immediately figured out what was happening. Someone was intentionally trying to disrupt her press
conference.
With a single glance from her, the Quillen family’s bodyguards removed the reporters from her vicinity. However,
as soon as they were dispersed, others eagerly jumped in, waving invoices and shouting.
“Ms. Quillen, Terence Group owes us 30 million in outstanding payments! Pay us now!”

“And don’t forget our 40 million for the goods!”
“And another 5 million we have on the books!”
In no time, the atmosphere became chaotic, with a feeling that the entire business edifice of Terence Group was on
the brink of collapse. Mackenzie, however, remained calm and said in a cold tone, “Ladies and gentlemen, today I
am here to clarify certain issues and rumors, not to settle accounts with you. Please remain calm,”
She still exuded a commanding presence.
In the past, with a statement like this, everyone would have immediately fallen silent. However, her authority
seemed to have lost its grip on this day.
“Enough empty words, Quillen! Terence Group has no money left! I see you’re ready to flee at any moment! Pay
the money now!”
A man suddenly yelled and rushed forward, trying to push Mackenzie, but the bodyguards stopped him. Yet, with
this incident, more people started surging toward her. The event’s order instantly collapsed.
