Chapter 1363
Chapter 1363 Provocation
Although Beatrix wasn’t accustomed to formal business settings, she understood the importance ofmaintaining decorum among business people. Therefore, she was taken aback when Althea spokeso bluntly.
Suddenly, Aidan’s cold voice interjected, “Well, well, if it isn’t the missy from the Quillen family. Whata surprise to see you again. Quite the coincidence, isn’t it?”
He was dressed in a white suit, contrasted sharply by a blood-red shirt. His icy smile accentuatedhis still-swollen face, giving him an almost sinister look reminiscent of a movie villain.
A middle-aged couple, presumably his parents, walked ahead of him. The man was tall and slender,with a pallid complexion. The woman had a drooping face and slightly hollow cheeks. Her heavymakeup rendered her somewhat off-putting.
Seeing the Tanner family approach, the trio from the Quillen family couldn’t hide their disdain. Withthe Tanner family’s appearance, they resembled antagonists from a television drama.
“Huh? Why is the Quillen family here? Weren’t you all part of the Chamber of Commerce?” Aidanasked, massaging his temple as he spoke. “Oh, are you considering joining the Nuthana Chamberof Commerce?” Hi’s incredulous expression hinted that he found the idea amusing.
“Beatrix, let’s head inside,” Mackenzie said, gently guiding her sister away from the tense situationwith the Tanner family.
Emmanuel glanced at Aidan, thinking, “Dealing with someone like him should be easier thandealing with Magnus and Gautier. Sadly, he’s just as repulsive as them.”
“Hehe, I advise you not to go in. Your family has ruffled mine, so forget about your Chamber ofCommerce application. Mark my words!” Aidan declared arrogantly, turning away from the trio with asmug smile. “Instead of wasting your time here, why not go home and enjoy yourselves? Isn’t thatmore fun for one man and two women?”
“You… you sicko!” Beatrix couldn’t hold back and raised her finger, wanting to confront him.
Emmanuel lightly patted her shoulder and reasoned, “Oh, it’s just a dog barking; nothing to losesleep over, right?”
Beatrix snorted coldly in agreement. “You’re right. I’ll take it as if a stray mutt on the street barks atme. But do we need to stoop down to their level and bark back?”
“D*mn it, who are you calling a dog?” Aidan’s rage flared up instantly as he pointed and jeered, “So,the Quillen family’s dreams of setting up an energy engine factory in Onza, huh? My advice? Snapout of it. To even think about setting up a factory here, you need the nod from the Onza municipalcouncil, and they only accept papers endorsed by the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce. In otherwords, you can forget about making headway in Onza for the rest of your life, haha…”
His laughter grated on Mackenzie’s nerves. She tried to ignore him but couldn’t brush off his wordsbecause he was right. Terence Group would only stand a chance at establishing and operating afactory in Onza if they went through the Chamber of Commerce to apply to the Onza municipalcouncil. Even acquiring the Hadley factory wouldn’t guarantee smooth operations.
“Mackenzie, it’s too noisy with all these yapping dogs around. Let’s head inside,” Emmanuelsuggested. He grabbed his wife’s hand and gestured for her to head inside.
She nodded, but her mind was heavy with worry. She might have considered Aidan an obnoxious,spoiled brat, but that didn’t make dealing with him any easier. The Tanner family’s influence loomedlarge, and crossing them could have dire consequences.

Beatrix felt even more burdened by guilt. She inwardly chastised herself, It’s all on me. Why did Iunnecessarily offend the Tanner family? I’m better at causing trouble than solving it!
Upon entering the venue, the trio discovered a crowd eagerly awaiting their membershipapplications to be processed. The spacious hall was crowded with impeccably dressed individualsradiating sophistication. Not one of them seemed like a pushover.
Shortly after, Emmanuel noticed the arrival of the Tanner family’s representative. A bald man swiftlypulled Aidan away, their expressions appearing peculiar. Then, Emmanuel promptly informed hiswife, “Mackenzie, I’m going out for a while.”
