Chapter 1246 The Chamber of Commerce

Shane didn’t intend to do it: Upon discovering the truth, he felt overwhelming guilt. He stood up abruptly

and said, “Lola, please take the contract back for now. I need to find Ms. Wenlocke and apologize to

her.”

Within their circle, they despised owing favors, let alone mistreating good people.

Unfortunately, Zaron told him, “Mr. Murphy, I’m afraid it’s too late. Ms. Wenlocke has already left the city

by plane during our negotiation.”

Shane instantly felt disheartened. It’s over now. I hope I won’t encounter Ms. Wenlocke again…

Meanwhile, Emmanuel had not yet returned to the Quillen residence. Terence was discussing matters

alone with

Mackenzie in the living room.

In front of them lay an application form to join the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce.

“Grandpa, do we really have to join the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce?”

Mackenzie was unaware of Emmanuel and Terence’s previous conversation, let alone Emmanuel’s

ultimate goal.

Therefore, she was not particularly enthusiastic about joining the Chamber of Commerce.

Joining the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce certainly had significant benefits, but it also entailed

numerous conflicts of interest. If they were not careful, they could make enemies. It was a double-

edged sword.

“Yes, my suggestion is that we must join.”

Terence no longer managed the company’s affairs, but he had not completely let go of the future

direction of the

Quillen family.

He told Mackenzie, “If the Quillen family wishes to live in peace, it is sufficient to maintain our current

state. From my perspective, I certainly would not want to stir up more trouble and strive for glory.

However, you and Emmanuel are different as you are still young. If you do not have dreams, what’s the

difference between you and a passive bystander?”

“Of course there is a difference.” At that moment, Beatrix, who had returned from outside, happened to

overhear

their conversation.

Joining the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce was not a major secret. Terence and Mackenzie did not

plan to conceal it from their family, so they openly discussed it in the living room.

After all, such a matter might require the unity of the entire family to succeed.

“If Mackenzie and Emmanuel do not wish to join the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce and lack greater

ambitions, then they are considered two passive bystanders, which is certainly different from being a

single passive bystander, Beatrix added.

Upon hearing her jest, Mackenzie smiled nonchalantly. She understood her meaning.

“Yes, I also agree to join the Chamber of Commerce.” Lara suddenly interjected, raising both hands

excitedly. “Moreover, if we marry into the Verkade family, joining the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce

will become much easier. We might even become one of the 20 official members of the National

Chamber of Commerce. It’s a splendid future.”

The National Chamber of Commerce consisted of over 200 non-official members, with only 20 official

members and seven permanent directors.

Each member represented a family or an interest group. They all had a voice in the Chamber of

Commerce.

The power held by the seven permanent directors was unimaginable to ordinary people.

The Zelinsky family of Zovince was one of the seven permanent directors.

“Tch!” Beatrix immediately scoffed upon hearing Lara’s words. “I thought that after 20 years, we could

finally agree on something, but you’re still as naive as ever. Do you think our family cannot become one

of the 20 official members without marrying into the Verkade family? What a joke!”

“You’re the joke!” Lara retorted, starting an argument with Beatrix once again. “Now the Quillen family

and the Verkade family are the leaders in Yeringham. If the two families unite, they will inevitably

become a formidable force in Nuthana. Who would dare to ignore them? By then, if we want to join the

National Chamber of Commerce and become official members, who in Nuthana would dare to object?”

In fact, what she said made a lot of sense. However, it was too idealistic as she overlooked many

details, such as emotional considerations.

Sure enough, Beatrix burst into laughter and responded, “Alright, let’s consider a marriage alliance.

Mackenzie is already married, so she’s not a suitable candidate. Plus, I have no interest in marrying

into the Verkade family. It seems that you marrying Gautier would be the most appropriate choice.

Would you like me to assist you in proposing?”

“Shut up!” Lara exclaimed, clearly agitated. “If Gautier has feelings for me, then of course I would be

delighted. However, he is interested in Mackenzie. Aren’t you interfering with their potential match?”
