Shane was furious as well. “She’s so disrespectful!” he exclaimed.

However, Terence chuckled and said, “Marilyn, right? How about this? I’ll make a bet with you. Maybe you’ll end up liking this old man later!”
“You?” Marilyn was also quite surprised. She didn’t expect Terence to talk to her like that. But after giving him a once-over, she made a face and said, “Old man, I prefer energetic and handsome young guys. You don’t fit the bill!”
Terence smiled and didn’t argue with her. He simply regarded her as an ignorant child.
She rolled her eyes once again and left the house.
As she was leaving, she bumped into Emmanuel. Suddenly, she realized something and sneered, “Oh, so Red Mosley likes you, huh? You have a good figure, but… you don’t look like a wealthy person.”
Emmanuel frowned, not understanding what she was talking about, while she just chuckled and sped off on a motorcycle.
“That woman. Could she be Red’s sister?” Emmanuel noticed that she bore a striking resemblance to Red, but their personalities were completely different.
However, he didn’t pay much attention to their encounter and went inside to cook.
That night, Terence had a fervid conversation with the old lady. Around 11 p.m., he, Emmanuel, and Shane left Red’s house and checked into a nearby hotel.
After 11 p.m., Mackenzie, who was in Yeringham, received a call from Terence.
“What? Grandpa, you want to invest 150 million in Anchortown?” Mackenzie was shocked upon hearing Terence’s plan.
“Yes. Anchortown is our family’s hometown. Now that we have money, we should return and help the people in the village. They are too impoverished!” Terence said with compassion.
When he returned to the town that day, he realized that the town’s economy had hardly developed in the past decade.
“Haha. Good. You two have a good chat! It would be best if it leads to something fruitful!” Terence chuckled and hung up the phone.
Mackenzie felt a flutter in her heart. This flutter made her feel a bit embarrassed, but it also felt strangely sweet.
After taking a deep breath, she deliberately put on a look of impatience and answered Emmanuel’s call, “Why are you calling me so late? Did you forget about my habit of resting at 11 p.m.?”
“Uh, I’m sorry, Mackenzie! I just settled Grandpa’s accommodation and called you right away.”
“Fine. You’re the only one by his side now. Take good care of him!”
“Yeah. I will.”
After Emmanuel nodded and answered, the two of them didn’t speak for several seconds.
“What’s the matter? You called me and aren’t going to say anything?”
