Love At The Wrong Table

After a while, laughter erupted from the crowd!

Hannah sneered, “The Quillen family’s current assets are about 1.7 billion. Are you suggesting that we’ll have 24 billion next year if we work with you?”

Everyone joined in the laughter.

The Quillen family, with only a few billion in assets, took a decade just to increase their net worth to 1.7 billion. Even so, they had faced bankruptcy risks multiple times along the way!

Yet, this man said he would get them up to 24 billion in just one year?

The women of the Quillen family, who were originally watching the show on the sidelines, almost exploded with anger.

Mackenzie also glared at Emmanuel coldly, wondering just what was going on in his head today. He didn’t seem like his usual self!
