Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 191
Chapter 191
“Your sister is actually wrong about my profession, Manny. I may have
majored in engineering, but I’m actually a project manager!” Jaxton said,
correcting Roselynn’s statement.
Realizing that Roselynn was feeling slightly unhappy, Emmanuel replied with
a smile, “That’s impressive, Jaxton!”
“I wouldn’t say it’s impressive, though. I only got where I am today through
hard work.”
Despite what Jaxton said; he actually had a gleeful look on his face.
Emmanuel believed that it was all right to take pride in one’s hard–earned
achievements, so he didn’t find Jaxton’s behavior inappropriate.
“By the way, what do you do for a living, Manny? How much does your job
pay?” Jaxton asked.
As Jaxton was her boyfriend, Roselynn didn’t stop him from asking such
questions. She figured there was nothing wrong with him getting to know
Emmanuel better.

“I work a full–time job as a gynecologist with an annual salary of eighty
thousand. I also have a part–time job on the side,” Emmanuel replied, making
no attempt to hide it at all.
Jaxton’s expression slid into a frown the moment he heard that. He then
patted Emmanuel on the shoulder and said, “What’s so great about a job like
that? How about this? You can tender your resignation tomorrow and come
work at my company instead! I’ll get you a job with an annual salary of one
hundred thousand and above!”
He had a*sumed that Emmanuel would be overjoyed and thank him
profusely for the offer.
After all, there was simply no reason for anyone to turn down such a great
offer.
To his surprise, however, Emmanuel simply rubbed his nose awkwardly
without saying a word.

Jaxton’s eyes lit up with glee as he continued, “You don’t need to feel shy
about it. It’s perfectly normal for people to upgrade themselves. It must be
really hard for you to find yourself a wife with that salary of yours, huh?”
may not look attractive or tall but I have a high social status. Besides, I
managed to get myself a gorgeous girlfriend like Roselynn. Her brother is tall
and strong, but what good has it done him? No pretty woman out there
would be willing to marry a poor guy like him!
“I’m already married, Jaxton.”
Emmanuel’s reply shocked Jaxton so much that he froze on the spot.
“You got married before your sister? Wow! You must’ve found yourself a great
woman, then! I mean, why else would you be so quick to jump into a
marriage?” he asked with a smile after a brief pause.
Of course, Jaxton was obviously being sarcastic with that statement.
His wife must be a mediocre character if they got married so soon! It’s a
common practice among those who know they’re not attractive or
successful to simply settle for convenience.
Unable to stand his attitude any longer, Mackenzie walked up to them and
asked coldly, “Do you have a problem with my husband marrying me so
soon?”
Jaxton tensed up and found himself frozen in shock once again when he saw
her.
He had thought Roselynn was incredibly beautiful, so seeing Emmanuel’s wife
look even prettier shocked him greatly.
Mackenzie’s beautiful appearance, grace, and elegance had completely
surpa*sed his expectations.
On top of that, he also found her to be rather familiar, but he couldn’t seem to
recall where he had seen her before. Even so, he didn’t dare ask her about it
as he didn’t want others to mistake his question for a cheesy pickup line.
“Manny’s wife sure is gorgeous, huh?” Roselynn asked, showing no sign of
anger toward his reaction whatsoever.
After all, Mackenzie was indeed a lot more beautiful and elegant, so she had
no reason to complain about him reacting like that.
“Haha! She sure is! Everyone in your family looks gorgeous, Roselynn!”
Jaxton’s reply was flawless.
“Thanks for the kind offer, Jaxton. You see, my wife holds a senior executive
position in Terence Group, and my part–time job is to drive her to and from
work. Hence, I’m not looking to change either of my jobs anytime soon,”
Emmanuel said, shocking Jaxton once more.
If she is working in Terence Group, then she must earn a pretty high salary!
Manny sure is a loser for depending on a woman!
“Come on, Emmanuel! Let’s go get you changed right now! I told you others
would look down on you if they saw you in this outfit!” Mackenzie said,
exposing Jaxton’s thoughts without any hesitation.
The look on Jaxton’s face turned slightly gloomy, but he didn’t say anything in
response.
Chapter 192
“We’ll head on inside, then. Drop by and visit Mom if you two have the time
tomorrow, okay? She’s been missing you two a lot!”
“Sure thing, Roselynn!” Emmanuel replied.
He was planning on making a trip home tomorrow regardless of whether
Mackenzie would go with him.
The four of them then went their separate ways after that.
As Emmanuel and Mackenzie both liked cla*sical music, they enjoyed the
concert and had a great evening.
The next morning, Mackenzie saw Emmanuel serving up breakfast that he
had made her the moment she got out of her room.
“Hey, Mackenzie! Do you have time to make a trip home with me?”
“Of course! I did promise your mother I’d pay her a visit, after all. I will have to
leave in an hour, though.”
SellyConte entri onlin
Since he had addressed her so intimately, she decided to say yes no matter
what.
“Awesome!”
The fact that Mackenzie would spend an hour at his house was good enough
for Emmanuel.
Meanwhile, Roselynn had told Alessandra that Emmanuel would be dropping
by that day.
Feeling excited that her son would finally be bringing his wife home for a visit,
Alessandra got up really early to prepare some nutritious soup for them.
“Wow… Looks like you value your daughter–in–law more than your own
daughter, Mom! I’ve been living with you for thirty years, and you have never
made me such good stuff!” Roselynn said jokingly when she saw the soup
that Alessandra made.
“Hehe… What are you saying? You’ll get to have some too!” Alessandra
replied with a wide grin.
“Huh… Looks like I can only bask in Mackenzie’s glory, then. Oh, well… I suppose
that’s what I get for not being as wealthy as she is!”
Roselynn had meant those words because it was an undeniable fact that
Mackenzie was incredibly wealthy.
She never thought Emmanuel would someday marry a woman like
Mackenzie.
In fact, she still found it somewhat surreal and felt as though it was a dream
that she would someday wake up from.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
Their conversation was interrupted by a sudden, loud knocking on the front
door.
Alessandra and Roselynn got excited as they thought it was Emmanuel and
his wife at the door.
Their hearts sank when they heard Hermann yelling, “Open up, Alessandra!
We’re here!”
+
It wasn’t hard for Roselynn to guess why they came, so she wasn’t planning
on opening the door.
However, Alessandra felt the need to open the door for her father since he
had come over in person.
“Mom? Dad? What brings you two here today?” Alessandra asked as she
opened the door, only to see a group of people standing outside.
Apart from Hermann and the other three, she also saw Emerson standing
there with a gloomy expression and his body covered in wounds.
That meant the Cadigan family had lied to gain sympathy when they said he
had died overseas.
Emerson had also brought two of his friends with him. Just like that, the seven
people barged right into Alessandra’s house.
“What are you guys doing?” Roselynn asked while blocking their path.
“What do you think we’re doing? We’re paying you guys a visit! Since you
guys never visited me, I had no choice but to come over instead!” Emerson
yelled angrily.
He then shoved her aside and made his way into the living room.
Roselynn felt a little scared as there wasn’t much she and Alessandra could
do if those people decided to get physical.
Chapter 193
As the group entered the main hall, they were greeted by a delightful aroma.
“Aunt Alessandra, are you making soup? It smells amazing! Can I have a bowl
please?” Jamison’s mouth watered immediately.
Alessandra hesitated for a moment.
She made the soup for her daughter-in–law. If she served everyone a bowl,
her daughter–in–law would be left without any to drink when she returned
home.
Furthermore, she was well aware that her daughter–in–law had a busy
schedule. The fact that she could spare an hour or two to be there was
already a gesture of kindness. What if they finish the soup, and I don’t have
enough time to make more for my daughter–in–law?
“What’s wrong? Can’t you serve my grandson a bowl of soup? Do you not
think of us as your family?” Upon noticing Alessandra’s silence, Hermann
directed a stern gaze at her, his face reflecting his disapproval.
“No, no, no. It’s not like that,” Alessandra stammered, her body trembling in
fear of her father’s disapproval.
Undeterred by the old–fashioned and patriarchal mentality of Hermann,
Roselynn fearlessly stood her ground. With a cold expression, she retorted,
“My mom prepared the soup specifically for my brother and his wife, so
there’s no extra for you! What exactly do you want?”
“What? Manny is married?” her grandmother exclaimed.
Hermann’s family, too, was taken aback.
Hermann even raised his voice. “Well, well, it seems you don’t consider us as
family at all! Alessandra Cadigan, you’re such an ungrateful daughter. Your
son got married, yet you didn’t even bother to invite us to the wedding. You’re
such a heartless woman!”
Filled with grievances, Alessandra wanted to explain to him, but before she
could do so, Roselynn stepped in.
She said to Hermann, “How dare you scold my mom? She’s heartless? You
people are the heartless ones! Ever since my mother married my father ten
years ago, you have never visited her, not even once. When my father
pa*sed away, you didn’t even bother to come and offer your condolences.
When my mother underwent surgery, you didn’t show any concern. You even
withheld her share of the village dividends, regardless of her well–being or
struggles! Since you’d never appeared on any of the occasions above, you
expect us to invite you to Manny’s wedding?”
The lengthy speech rendered Hermann speechless, and all he could do was
glare at her in response.
“All right, Grandpa. We didn’t come here to argue about this,” Henrietta
interjected.
Although she did not like this family either, she was still a member of the
Cadigan family. Now that the online backlash had also affected her, she
knew she had to find a solution, even if it was for her own sake.
While her relationship with Roselynn was relatively better compared to the
other family members, interactions with Roselynn were still filled with hostility
and tension. Roselynn was known for her strong–willed nature and was not
easily swayed by others. Engaging in a direct confrontation with her would
not be a wise choice.
“Roselynn, we’re here to beg you to remove the posts on the internet!”
Henrietta pleaded in a soft tone, “I understand it was my brother’s fault, but
he’s still young. Can you please forgive him?”
Roselynn let out a cold snort. “Young? He’s already eighteen years old. He’s
legally accountable for his actions!”
She was not prepared to let them off so easily, especially considering that
none of these men had shown any willingness to apologize.
“Roselynn, this is how you want to play, huh?” Jamison expressed his disdain
upon hearing that.
“You step aside, Jamison,” Henrietta stopped him from talking.
Despite the anger on Hermann’s face, he chose to remain silent. They had
previously agreed that their intention was to resolve the issue peacefully, so
at this stage, they entrusted Henrietta with the task of handling the situation.
Ox
However, if Roselynn refused to cooperate, they were prepared to resort to
more forceful measures.
“Jamison, apologize to Roselynn and promise her you’ll not repeat such
behavior!” Henrietta ordered.
Jamison shot daggers at Roselynn. With his grandfather and father staying
silent, he grudgingly muttered, “I’m sorry.”
“You’re sorry? Sorry for what?” Roselynn asked indifferently.
“Roselynn, it was not right for Jamison to twist the truth and cause harm to
you all…” Henrietta said.
“Keep quiet, Henrietta. Let him speak for himself!” Roselynn was actually
willing to let bygones be bygones.
If they genuinely acknowledged their mistakes and offered a sincere
apology, she would consider deleting the posts.

However, Jamison felt that Roselynn was deliberately trying to show off her
power and immediately started hurling insults at her. “Roselynn Lowe, you’re
taking advantage of the situation! Who do you think you are? You’re just a
vicious woman that no man wants to marry. I bet you’re destined to be an
old hag for the rest of your life!”
Boom!
Roselynn’s anger was instantly ignited by his response.
Her mother’s sufferings had deeply impacted her, leaving a lasting
impression and fostering a strong resentment toward those who belittled or
disrespected women within her.
Yet, every word uttered by Jamison revealed his contempt for her and his
utter disregard for women. I won’t allow him to get away with it so easily!
“Watch your language, Jamison!” Henrietta stepped in to stop him.
Suddenly, Hermann interjected, “Oh, shut up, Henrietta!”
He had reached his limit and would not allow Roselynn to trample all over
them.
Emerson, too, directed his finger at Roselynn and issued a direct threat.
“Roselynn, let’s not waste each other’s time. Are you going to delete the posts
or not?”
“Heck no!” Roselynn, unfazed by the situation, responded firmly and
decisively.
“F*ck! If you refuse to delete them, I’ll tear down your house right now!”
Emerson’s face turned red with anger as he let out a roar. Being someone
with a history of violence, he was prepared to roll up his sleeves and
physically a*sault her.
“Go ahead, if you have the guts! I’ll ensure you end up behind bars!” Roselynn
defiantly stood her ground. If he dares to smash our house, I’ll report him to
the cops!
“D*mn it, you’re just testing my patience!” Emerson, never known for his
virtuous nature, seized a chair with malicious intent, preparing to hurl it at
Roselynn.
“No! Stop, Emerson!” Alessandra quickly reached out to stop him but to no
avail.
With a powerful force, Emerson shoved Alessandra aside, causing her to
stumble and fall to the ground.
Alessandra, already in fragile health, almost suffered a life–threatening injury
from the fall.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Emerson and his friends started smashing things in the living hall.
Jamison, driven by rage, quickly made his way to the kitchen. With a
malicious sneer on his face, he said, “So you think you can deny us the soup?
Well, then none of you will get to taste it, d*mn it!”
Clang!
He forcefully kicked over the pot of soup.
Alessandra quickly got up from the floor upon hearing the sound. She hurried
into the kitchen, her face filled with worry.
The soup that she made for her daughter–in-law was spilled everywhere.
What am I going to do when Manny and Mackenzie come later?
“Mom, we’re home!” Right then, Emmanuel’s voice came from the door.
Emmanuel, full of excitement, walked into the house with Mackenzie by his
side.
However, his joy quickly turned into rage as he laid eyes upon the chaotic
scene before him. He ran into the living hall.
“What the h*ll do you think you’re doing?” His voice boomed like distant
thunder, leaving everyone present stunned.
Emerson and his men turned around, only to be taken aback by the intense
look in Emmanuel’s eyes.
“Manny, you’ve returned just in time. Show these thugs what they deserve.
Teach them a lesson! Beat them up!” Roselynn, who still had not recovered
from the shock, stood behind him.
Instead of immediately calling the police, she opted to make them pay the
price and unleash her frustration upon them.
Chapter 194
“Manny, it’s good that you’re back!” Emerson, who came to his senses, did not
choose to run away.
Despite Emmanuel’s military experience and potential combat skills, Emerson
remained unperturbed by the thought of facing the former as he was
confident in his group of men who were by his side.
“We men should be the ones to handle family matters instead of wasting
time reasoning with a bunch of women!”
Emerson thought Emmanuel would connect with the notion of male authority
and take charge of the situation accordingly.
However, to his surprise, Emmanuel responded with a sneer of disdain, “My
mother and sister are my elders, and their authority holds sway in this
household. If you find it difficult to communicate with them, it’s because you
lack a fundamental understanding of human decency!”
Roselynn could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction. These individuals
a*sume everyone shares their S**ist views. Do they really believe everyone
looks down upon women like them?
Mackenzie, standing behind Emmanuel, could not help but grin.
She, too, had a strong aversion to men who disrespected women, so his
response was definitely a green flag in her eyes!
“Coward!” Emerson sneered, his face twisted with a baffling smirk as he
issued a threatening ultimatum. “Let me ask you one more time, are you
going to delete the posts on the internet? It’s your choice whether we remain
as relatives or become enemies!”
Jamison also emerged from the kitchen, positioning himself behind his father
with a show of force.
He wore a smug expression, convinced that he held the upper hand. He
believed that as long as Emmanuel was not a fool, he would not want to
engage in an endless battle with them.
Otherwise, their family would be doomed to a lifetime of unrest and turmoil.
After casting a quick glance at the kitchen and witnessing the anguish on his
mother’s face, Emmanuel swiftly lunged forward, delivering a powerful punch
to Emerson’s face.
Before Emerson could retaliate, Emmanuel then delivered a powerful kick that
sent him flying.
Boom!
Emerson landed heavily on the floor.
The house fell into silence.
“You’ve already treated us as your enemies. It would be foolish of me to
consider you as family!” Emmanuel bellowed.
Hermann, who had shown no concern when Alessandra fell, immediately
jumped out and exclaimed when he realized someone had hit his son, “Y–You
b*stard! How could you attack your own uncle? You heartless jerk!”
Roselynn, not one for physical confrontations but skilled in the art of debate,
gave a cold sneer. “And what about Emerson hurting his own sister earlier? I
didn’t hear any objections then, did I? Isn’t it natural for a son to defend his
mother when she’s being bullied? That’s not heartless–that’s standing up for
family!”
“You-”
How could Hermann possibly win an argument against Roselynn?
Emerson’s men were quick to bully the weak and defenseless, but when
faced with a direct confrontation from Emmanuel, they all cowered.
The Cadigan family now found themselves in an awkward position, unable to
win either arguments or physical altercations.
“Let’s just leave. There’s no need to let this family dispute escalate any
further!” The grandmother finally stepped in.
“Shut up!” Hermann lashed out in frustration, directing his anger at his wife.
“It’s all your fault for failing to properly raise our daughter!”
“Watch your mouth, you stupid old man!” Roselynn could not watch him bully
her grandmother. “My mother has a kind and gentle nature. She never
engages in illegal activities or deceives others. On the other hand, your son is
involved in all sorts of vices like gambling, drinking, and cheating. He has a
laundry list of vices! He can’t even accomplish anything worthwhile, let alone
win a fight against my brother. So, what gives you the audacity to look down
on your own daughter? Why do you think you have the right to look down on
me and my brother?”
Hermann’s face flushed red with anger as he stomped in frustration. “You’ve
really pushed me too far! I can’t take it anymore!”
Roselynn, filled with fury, pointed her finger at the door. “Get out of our house
and die elsewhere, stupid old man!”
To Roselynn, these despicable individuals were never her family. She took
great satisfaction in seeing them being taught a much–needed lesson.
Chapter 195
“Very well! Just you wait! I won’t let you guys off easily!”
Hermann left with the group of people in a huff.
It was only when they stepped out of the room did they notice Mackenzie.
Jamison was immediately drooling over her. Is she Emmanuel’s wife? It would
be so wonderful if I could spend a night with her!
Mackenzie didn’t even spare them a glance. Therefore, she naturally didn’t
notice Jamison’s lecherous expression or see through his improper thoughts.
Mackenzie walked into the room and asked with concern, “Mom, are you
okay?”
Alessandra’s mood instantly improved when she heard Mackenzie call her
mom. However, she felt more guilt than any other feeling.
“Mackenzie, I’m sorry! I promised to make soup for you, but the soup is gone
now.”
“It’s fine, as long as you’re okay. Let’s sit down and rest.”
Emmanuel watched Mackenzie’s every move.
He didn’t expect Mackenzie to treat his mother so well since she was so cold
to everyone.
He realized his previous concerns were unfounded. If Mackenzie were my real
wife, this in–law relationship would be perfect!
However, Mackenzie glared at him the next moment. “Emmanuel, aren’t you
going to clean the place up?”
“Uh, okay…”
Although my wife is perfect, she always wears the pants in our relationship.
While Emmanuel was cleaning things up, Mackenzie stayed by Alessandra’s
side.
With her daughter–in–law accompanying her, Alessandra felt much better.
She even promised to prepare soup for Mackenzie the next time the latter
visited her.
Mackenzie smiled, puzzled by her mother–in–law’s fixation with feeding her
soup and making it seem like she had never had soup before.
“Roselynn, if we don’t remove the posts, I’m afraid the Cadigan family will
come to bother you again!” Emmanuel uttered his concern as he and
Roselynn cleaned up the living room together.
Roselynn bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with anger.
She didn’t want to give in to the Cadigan family, but Emmanuel was right.
Since Emmanuel wasn’t at home frequently, she would be at a loss as to
what to do if those people returned.
“Roselynn, why don’t we remove the posts? After all, we are still relatives,”
Roselynn was still hesitating. Just as she was about to agree, Mackenzie
those evil people?”
These words struck a chord with Roselynn.
Nevertheless, she asked, “If we don’t succumb to them, what can we do?”
do something extreme to them when they had nothing to lose then?
Mackenzie knew what he was thinking and continued, “You guys shouldn’t
stay here for the time being. Of course, we have to install cameras in case
they come here and wreck things. We will collect the evidence and send
does she live with you guys?”
“Sure,” Mackenzie promised readily.
She exposed Beatrix so hard that the latter gave her a pleading look. “That’s
“Can you allow it, Mackenzie? I promised them to take him to a laser tag
“You don’t have to hide it anymore, Claudette. Beatrix told me everything. Dr.
