Sarah smiled and said, “Mom, you underestimate yourself too much!
Regardless, you are still the legitimate daughter-in-law of Grandpa, and your
family status should be the highest among all women!”
“Tell me what you want,” Felicity said directly.
“I want one of my father’s mementos!” Sarah said with a smile.
Felicity was slightly startled. She didn’t need Sarah to explicitly state what it
was as she knew what it would be.
“Why are you hesitating? If you don’t agree, you’ll have to figure a way
yourself!”
Sarah played coy and turned to leave.
“Wait!”
As expected, Felicity called out to her. When Sarah turned back, Felicity spoke
coldly. “Fine, but you must make Emmanuel leave Mackenzie’s side within a
month.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Quillen family, Alfred spoke up when only
both he and Terence remained. “Old Mr. Quillen, it seems that Madam is still
unwilling.”
Terence grew annoyed and said, “What can she do if she’s unwilling? When it
was time for her to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother, she didn’t do it. Now
that Mackenzie has found true love, she wants to meddle and break up her
daughter’s marriage! It’s not only me. Mackenzie won’t listen to her either!”
Alfred nodded and whispered, “Perhaps Ms. Mackenzie has always doubted
that Madam is not her biological mother, which is why her feelings toward
her have always been lukewarm.”
At the mention of this matter, Terence let out a sigh, In fact, even he couldn’t
be a hundred percent certain that Mackenzie was Felicity’s biological
daughter.
Twenty-eight years ago, when the Quillen family’s business had not reached
its current scale, Terence didn’t have the confidence he had now.
So, at that time, he tried his best to arrange a marriage alliance, having his
most talented son, Tony Quillen, marry Felicity, the daughter of the Lenoir
family.
However, at that time, he didn’t know that Tony already had a woman he
loved. Due to Terence’s strong insistence and the marriage alliance, Tony
tearfully gave up his previous girlfriend and married Felicity instead.
It was only after their breakup that Tony learned that his ex-girlfriend was
already pregnant with his child. He was willing to divorce Felicity to reconcile
with his ex-girlfriend, and at one point, he even wanted to leave the Quillen
family.
In the end, Terence compromised and wanted his son to choose for himself.
However, Tony’s ex-girlfriend didn’t want to hinder his future and willingly left
Yeringham.
Tony originally wanted to leave Yeringham to find her whereabouts, but at
that time, Felicity claimed to be pregnant with his child.
Due to pressure from the Lenoir family and the sense of responsibility as a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmman, Tony ultimately didn’t divorce Felicity and chose to stay in the Quillen
family to manage the family business.
However, Felicity gave birth to Mackenzie unexpectedly less than eight
months into the pregnancy. Some said it was premature, while others
gossiped that the baby girl wasn’t her biological child at all and that she had
faked the pregnancy to hold onto Tony.
Surprisingly, Tony personally stepped forward to refute the rumors at the
time while insisting that the child was his. This gradually silenced those
rumors.
However, Mackenzie had high intelligence, and as she grew older, she
noticed that she had fewer and fewer similarities with Felicity. So, she couldn’t
help but doubt whether she was truly Felicity’s biological child.
Despite her doubts, she never requested a paternity test, but her relationship
with Felicity remained lukewarm. It was completely unlike a normal
mother-daughter relationship.
