Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 251
Chapter 251
When Claudette saw Emmanuel walk into the diagnostic room, she couldn’t
help but feel a bit nervous.
Apart from the incredibly sweet experiences they had over the weekend, she
also noticed that his mental state wasn’t too good, which burdened her
inexplicably.
“Dr. Lowe, I feel a bit unwell again…” Claudette took the initiative to speak, her
voice somewhat weak.
“Let me check your pulse.”
“Okay.” She extended her hand to Emmanuel, sensing that something felt
different compared to before.
However, Emmanuel proceeded to check her pulse as usual, but after that
initial touch, it was as if his soul had left his body.
After a while, Claudette asked softly, “Dr. Lowe, how am I?”
“Ah!”
Emmanuel jolted as if he had been electrocuted and awkwardly chuckled.
“Sorry, I zoned out for a moment!”
He quickly resumed checking her pulse.
After a while, he said, “You have a congenital condition influenced by the
snake venom in your body. You need to receive an antidote injection and rest
for two days, then you’ll be fine!”
“Okay, thank you!”
“You’re welcome!”
Emmanuel continued to treat her in his usual manner, leaving Claudette
somewhat disappointed. It made her feel as if no matter what she did, she
couldn’t affect his emotions. Meanwhile, Mackenzie seemed to captivate him
completely!
The weight each of them held in this man’s heart was already evident.
Although Claudette didn’t want to admit that she had lost to Mackenzie, she
had to accept the reality that was right in front of her.
It seemed that no matter how much she continued to strive, it might all be
pointless.
Should I give up?
Coincidentally, Frederick came down from the rooftop and saw Claudette. He
was thinking of greeting her, but when he saw her seemingly distraught
state, he decided against it.
“Ah, what is love in this world? It drives people to live and die for it. Love is too
dangerous. I’ll remain single for a hundred years…”
Frederick, seeing Emmanuel and Claudette’s state today, seemed genuinely
afraid.
When he saw Claudette enter, her spirits seemed fine, but after meeting with
Emmanuel, it was as if she had fallen gravely ill!
One had to admit that the power of love was incredibly strong!
Claudette didn’t even notice Frederick. In fact, she had forgotten the entire
process of leaving the hospital.
It wasn’t until a Range Rover stopped in front of her that she snapped back to
reality.
“Hehe, why do you look so absent–minded, the Lenoir family’s princess?
Weren’t you daydreaming and giggling last night?” Laura teased Claudette.
Claudette glanced at her without saying a word, remaining silent even after
getting into the Range Rover.
“What’s wrong? Does that dumb gynecologist not like you?”
Laura, who was widely known as a love expert with her vast romantic
experiences, could understand Claudette’s predicament with just one look.
“Laura, I think I should give up. There’s no place for me in Dr. Lowe’s heart!”
Chapter 252
Claudette’s eyes reddened as she said, “He has Mackenzie in his heart! I’ve
intervened in their relationship, and I’m a shameful homewrecker…”
Seeing her like this, Laura quickly hugged her and gently stroked her head.
“Silly girl, men are capable of changing. Don’t give up so easily. When he and
Mackenzie are done, won’t you be able to rightfully take your place? That’s
how I established my position back then!”
Claudette trembled upon hearing that.
Indeed, Laura had liked her father for over a decade, but unfortunately, her
father had feelings for her mother. Laura never married, and it was only after
her mother’s pa*sing that she finally became a substitute for her mother.
“I know about Mackenzie. With her personality, no man can handle her! I can’t
guarantee that she’ll have a shorter life than my sister, but I can guarantee
that her relationship with Dr. Lowe will definitely be short–lived! You don’t
have to wait until my age to marry the person you like!”
Laura used her personal experience to inspire her daughter.
After hearing her words, Claudette instantly regained her fighting spirit!
That’s right, all I have to do now is wait. Once Emmanuel and Mackenzie are
done, perhaps it will be my turn!
Seeing Claudette’s determined gaze, Laura was also pleased. She couldn’t
help but think that Emmanuel must’ve been a hero who saved the entire
world in his past life. His luck was simply unbelievable!
Not only did he marry the heiress of Yeringham’s wealthiest family, but even/
the Lenoir family’s princess willingly became his backup plan. If this news got
out, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation throughout Yeringham!
As night fell, Mackenzie stared into the distance, lost in thought. After a while,
she pressed a button to notify Wally to come pick her up and take her home.
At the same time, a Range Rover had long been parked outside the
commercial park, where Quintus was already lying in wait. No matter what, I
have to successfully ask my goddess out on a date today!
Quintus had gotten out of the car. Zane was the only one left in the Range
Rover when he realized that Abellyn had sent another message to arrange a
meeting with him.
“Heh, she’s quite forward! Is she lacking men?”
Zane smirked. He had played around with countless women, and she was the
first to be so proactive in making the first move.
As the manager of Lenoir Group, he certainly couldn’t be lacking in emotional
intelligence and IQ. He knew that this woman had ulterior motives.
Thus, he deliberately kept his distance from Abellyn for now, both to keep her
interested and to give himself time to figure out her intentions.
However, since she had continuously invited him out three times, he had to
accept it tonight. Otherwise, she might give up, and he would miss an
opportunity for a freebie session!
“I’ll be accompanying my boss to a banquet tonight. It’s at Northern Riverside
Villa No. 301. If you’re free, just come over.
Zane sent a voice message and casually tossed his phone aside.
On the other end, Abellyn received the message and became ecstatic. She
quickly called her sister over.
“This is great! Tonight is the perfect opportunity! Remember, don’t give
yourself up to him too easily. In the final stage, you must keep him interested
and force him to promise you a house or money. When things get steamy, no
matter what request the woman makes, the man will agree!” Chloe quickly
reminded her.
“I understand, Chloe! I know what to do!”
Abellyn was confident.
Tiger, who was listening on the side, tightly pursed his lips and suddenly felt
uncomfortable. He turned and ran into his room.
The two women didn’t pay attention to his reaction. After Chloe gave a few
more instructions to her son, she hurriedly left with her sister!
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Terence Group, Quintus finally saw Mackenzie’s
car and rushed over, risking his life as he opened his arms to block the car.
Fortunately, Wally reacted quickly. Otherwise, he might have sent him flying.
Mackenzie was already in a bad mood, and being jolted like this made her
even angrier. She rolled down the window and scolded angrily, “Quintus, if
you want to die, don’t die in front of me. Get out of my way!”
Instead of being angry, Quintus burst into laughter excitedly. “Excellent,
Mackenzie! In all the years I’ve known you, this is the first time you’ve scolded
me like this. It proves that I’ve finally managed to affect your emotions!”
Chapter 253
“Huh?” Mackenzie couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Quintus‘ words. Even
Wally was speechless. One wouldn’t be able to come up with such words
without years of experience as a lapdog!
Does his family carry the lapdog gene or something? Quintus acts like this
around Ms. Mackenzie, and his sister acts like this around Emmanuel. It’s
causing discord in Ms. Mackenzie’s marriage, for Emmanuel hasn’t been
picking Ms. Mackenzie up from work.
“Mackenzie, are you free tonight? We have a party, and if you attend, you will
undoubtedly be the center of attention!” Quintus didn’t care about
Mackenzie’s expression or what Wally thought. He was just shamelessly being
a lapdog. “Your beauty and temperament should be presented to everyone!
Do you know that you’re the most elegant flower in Yeringham? Please don’t
keep your beauty to yourself. Otherwise, it would be a waste. What a pity!”
If he had said such words in the past, Mackenzie would have scolded him
and left. However, she was in a foul mood that day and thought Quintus was
right! She married Emmanuel despite having countless pursuers, yet he still
wanted to embrace other women. It was truly infuriating! Yesterday’s
incident still bothered her, and she was thinking of finding someone to have a
drink with. If there was a party, it would save her the trouble of inviting
someone out.
“Fine, let’s go and check it out.” Mackenzie surprisingly agreed to it, leaving
even Wally extremely surprised.
“That’s great, Mackenzie. Get in my car, and I’ll take you there!” Quintus
wanted to take advantage of the situation and even planned to kick Zane out
of the Land Rover once Mackenzie agreed. Fortunately, Mackenzie rejected
his offer, and Zane escaped his fate.
On the other side, Chloe and her sister had arrived at the Northern Riverside
Villa ahead of time. Seeing the luxury cars in the parking lot and the bustling
scene by the seaside villa, they were truly amazed. This was the glamorous
life of the upper cla*s!
“Abellyn, you must find a way to marry Zane. By then, perhaps we’ll be able to
get into the upper–cla*s circle!” Chloe actually believed that Zane was an
upper–cla*s person, unaware that he was only able to attend due to Quintus‘
influence.
“I understand, Chloe! I’ll do my best!” Abellyn, who was even less
knowledgeable than Chloe, had no idea how treacherous the upper–cla*s
circle was. At this moment, she adjusted her bra and fixed her makeup,
thinking that if she could enter with Zane tonight, perhaps she would meet
someone even more influential than him. Then, she could find a man more
formidable than Mackenzie and suppress her in turn!
Just look at how that woman had shown off in front of me before. Wasn’t she
just bullying me for being poor?
At that moment, there was a sudden commotion at the party venue. Many
young men and women rushed out of the villa and gathered at the entrance,
craning their necks in anticipation.
Seeing the commotion, the sisters who had been lingering at the entrance
became curious as well.

“It seems like a super important person is about to arrive, right?”
“Yeah! Look at how well–dressed these people are. They must be wealthy.
Whomever they’re fawning over must be on a different level altogether.”
The two sisters tiptoed to get a better look. If a super wealthy man took a
liking to them, it would be like a plot in a romantic drama. How exciting!
Dreams were meant to be had. What if they came true?
At this moment, a Land Rover and a Bentley arrived one after the other.
Seeing the crimson Bentley, the Sheppard sisters, though not necessarily
knowledgeable in cars, were aware that it was very expensive. It went without
saying that the people gathering at the entrance were undoubtedly waiting
for the owner of the Bentley!
Unfortunately, they were in a lousy position, and they were not tall enough.
Their line of sight was quickly blocked by others.
“Wow! It really is Ms. Quillen!”
“Ms. Quillen has graced our party. We’re so honored!”
The group of young men and women cheered excitedly.
Upon hearing that name, Abellyn suddenly trembled instinctively, for
Emmanuel would always address his wife as ‘Ms. Quillen.’
Chapter 254
Could this Ms. Quillen be his wife?
Unfortunately, just as they managed to squeeze their way to the front after
the crowd dispersed, Mackenzie had already gone in, and Abellyn caught
only a glimpse of a figure from behind.
“What’s going on? That figure really looked like her!” Abellyn suddenly
exclaimed.
“What do you mean looked like her? Do you know Ms. Quillen?”
Abellyn had never even thought about it from that perspective. How could
Ryder’s cousin possibly have any connection with Ms. Quillen? They were
from completely different worlds!
Abellyn earnestly said, “Chloe, I think her figure looks a lot like Mackenzie!
Could she be Emmanuel’s wife?”
“How is that possible?”
Chloe also exclaimed but then laughed. “How can Ryder’s cousin in that
wretched state marry Ms. Quillen? No author would dare write such a story.
Besides, if she were Ms. Quillen, would she live in an ordinary upscale
neighborhood? She would definitely live in a mansion or a grand villa!”
“That’s true…”
Abellyn also thought it was highly unlikely, but the silhouettes of the two
women looked exactly the same!
“Enough, let’s not overthink it! Emmanuel’s wife is indeed beautiful. The
silhouettes of beautiful women all look somewhat similar, don’t they?” Chloe
scoffed.
“You’re right!” Abellyn accepted this explanation.
At that moment, Zane walked toward them and invited Abellyn to the party.
Due to his status, he couldn’t bring two people in.
Chloe didn’t mind and made intense eye contact with her sister before they
parted ways.
2/5
Abellyn understood and nodded her head, linking her arm with Zane and
entering the venue.
After joining the party, Mackenzie socialized and had a few drinks with some
businessmen present. However, having gotten drunk the previous night and
feeling physically uncomfortable, she didn’t want to drink too much. She
quickly distanced herself from the clingy Quintus and sought a place to rest.
When she was left alone, she couldn’t help but think of Emmanuel. She
wondered what he was doing. Without her permission, he probably wouldn’t
have come home, right?
If this continues, is this marriage coming to an end?
Click.
As she was about to enter an empty room, she noticed a couple being
intimate on the bed. She didn’t want to witness such a sight and was about
to turn away when she unexpectedly felt like she recognized the two people.
So, she looked closer at them.
What’s going on? Is it actually Abellyn and Quintus‘ driver fooling around on
the bed?
Just as Zane was about to reach out toward Abellyn, she grabbed his hand
and playfully said, “Zane, don’t be in such a hurry!”
At that, she sat up.
Mackenzie quickly retreated but continued to eavesdrop on their
conversation.
“Darling, what’s the matter with you?”
*
Zane was indeed itching with impatience. His pants were already off, and the
other party was playing hard to get. No man could withstand it!
“Life has been hard for me. I’ve encountered sc*mbags before, so I’m worried
about whether you’re sincerely interested in me.”
Abellyn followed her sister’s instructions and seduced Zane step by step.
“Of course I am!”
Zane just wanted to deceive her into sleeping with him so that he could enjoy
himself. He would deal with the consequences later. Right now, he was
definitely going to say whatever she wanted to hear.
“In that case… Can I live in your house? I’m planning to divorce my husband,
and I have nowhere to go!”
Abellyn’desperately tried to seduce Zane, believing that as long as this man
desired her body, he would readily agree to anything!
Chapter 255
“Of course, you’re welcome to come and stay anytime!” Zane said and
pounced on Abellyn.
Soon, the room was filled with disgusting sounds that made Mackenzie
nauseous. She wondered if Emmanuel and Claudette had done the same
thing when they camped out in the wilderness that night.
Strange, why am I thinking about that man again?
Mackenzie felt increasingly irritated and walked out of the banquet hall,
where she ran into Quintus.
“Mackenzie, may I invite you to dance?”
“Get lost!”
***
Quintus was enthusiastic, but all he got in return was a heartless and fiery
‘get lost‘. He suddenly felt rejected. Mackenzie didn’t care about his feelings
and left the party directly.
“What a difficult wild horse to conquer! So challenging!”
Quintus was not discouraged, though. As the son of General Lenoir, he always
enjoyed taking on impossible challenges. The more difficult the task, the
more pa*sionate he became.
In any case, Mackenzie was a woman he was determined to conquer. After
coming out, Mackenzie got into the Bentley, where Wally drove her to the
entrance of Yociam Residence. According to the usual routine, he stopped
there, but then he heard Mackenzie’s instructions. “Drive in!”
“Huh?” Wally was stunned and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being seen by
Emmanuel?”
“If he sees, he sees. I want him to know that I’m even wealthier than
Claudette! I want him to regret his choice!”
Mackenzie’s words made Wally sweat profusely, but he didn’t dare to rebut. It
seemed that she had been hurt emotionally, and she was completely
different from her usual self!
Although Wally had little interaction with Emmanuel, he had good
observation skills. That man didn’t seem like a shallow person. How could he
cheat just because Claudette was rich?
But Wally still followed her instructions and drove the car into the parking lot
of the residential area.
Mackenzie noticed that the electric scooter was parked there again,
meaning Emmanuel had returned to Yociam Residence tonight.
She inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief!
She now realized that she was afraid of Emmanuel going back to his home
and having their current situation reach Alessandra and Roselynn’s ears.
By then, things would become even more complicated, and there would be
no turning back! After all, it was still a matter between the two of them as a
couple, so it would be best not to let it escalate…
Wally also noticed the change in her expression and understood it well. It
seemed that Mackenzie had developed feelings for Emmanuel. It was
something unimaginable before!
But he didn’t dare to say anything. After Mackenzie got out of the car, he
followed the usual routine and drove the Bentley away.
Throughout the journey, Mackenzie didn’t see Emmanuel. She thought that
Emmanuel dared to defy her and had gone home on his own!
Unfortunately, when she returned home, she found that it was cold and
empty. Not a single person was there!
“Dang it, that man didn’t come back?”
Mackenzie couldn’t help but bite her lip lightly. Where did that idiot go? The
electric scooter is parked inside the residential area!
In the next moment, she saw two dishes on the dining table in the living
room, which were covered with lids. Not only that, there was also a note!
She picked up the note and trembled when she read it.
“Mackenzie, I don’t know if you’ve had dinner tonight, so I prepared a
late–night snack. If it’s cold when you come back, you can warm it up in the
microwave.”
It was such a simple note.
Compared to Quintus‘ disgusting flattery, Mackenzie found herself more
easily moved by these sincere words.
The most important thing was that she hadn’t had dinner, and her stomach
was indeed grumbling. She even felt a slight pain in her abdomen. At this
moment, she didn’t care about warming it up and sat down to eat.
It felt strange. The food wasn’t particularly delicious, at least not as good as
the delicacies she had tasted before. But she enjoyed it!
As she ate, her eyes became slightly tearful. She regretted telling that man to
get lost last night.
Halfway through eating, she ran to the corridor window and looked down,
Sure enough, she saw the idiot sleeping on the bench again.
Chapter 256
It was already freezing outside, yet that idiot slept so comfortably on the cold
wooden bench.
“Fine, let him freeze to death! After all, he can spend the night with a woman
in the wilderness, so I’m sure he’s not afraid of the cold!”
Mackenzie turned around with an icy and heartless expression on her face.
But after a while, she couldn’t help but call the security office and ask them to
send a blanket to Emmanuel. She justified it as showing concern for a stray
cat!
The next morning, when Emmanuel woke up, he found an extra blanket on
him. No wonder I felt so warm during my sleep. There are still good–hearted
people in this world!
After waking up, he sneaked a look at the garage and found that the
Maserati had already been driven out. He quietly returned home, freshened
up, and then went to work.
Little did he know that Mackenzie hadn’t left the residential area at all. She
was watching him like a thief from the security office, unable to hold back her
laughter!
This man went to such an extent just by her words alone. It showed how
much weight she had in his heart!
It seemed like he really didn’t have an affair with Claudette after all.
No, I shall observe him for a few more days before I forgive him so as to
teach him a lesson!
Mackenzie proudly walked out of the security office.
The security guards looked at her retreating figure and didn’t dare to say a
word. They couldn’t understand this couple’s game at all. It was beyond their
comprehension…
Mackenzie had driven the Maserati out of the residential area just now, so
she had to walk to it. Before she reached it, a van rushed toward her
suddenly and stopped in front of her.
Mackenzie frowned, her eyes revealing a cold and murderous look. Who has
the audacity to confront me here?
Is it another person sent by Laura?
At this moment, Emmanuel was riding his electric scooter to the residential
area entrance and saw the scene from a distance.
Oh no!
My wife is in danger!
He wanted to play the hero and save her, but he hesitated. After all, how
would he face Mackenzie after the situation was resolved?
This was his first conflict with a woman, and he felt a little helpless.
The next moment, he saw the person getting off the van, and he was
completely stunned!
Mackenzie was also taken aback. It was actually some of the despicable
relatives from Emmanuel’s grandfather’s family!

“Hey, hey, we finally found you!”
Jamison stared at Mackenzie and approached step by step, his eyes filled
with a covetous look.
Emmanuel is so lucky. How could he have married such a beautiful wife?
“What do you want?” Mackenzie stood her ground, her eyes coldly sweeping
Jamison and his father, as well as the two men they brought with them.
She had seen them when she last visited Emmanuel’s home.
Trash, that’s all they are. There’s nothing to be afraid of!
“What do we want to do? Of course, we want to destroy you, you b*tch!”
Emerson stepped forward with big strides while angrily saying, “I checked. It
was Bull Tech that installed the CCTV system at the Lowe Residence, and you
were the one who had it installed, Mackenzie!”
Due to the presence of that CCTV system, they couldn’t do anything to the
Lowe family. In the end, they had to apologize and compensate them, and
only then did Roselynn delete the post.
He had originally just wanted to come and threaten Mackenzie a bit, but he
ended up cursing and slapping Mackenzie in the face!
save his wife!
If these people dared to harm his wife even a bit, he would make sure they
spent half a year in the hospital!
But before he could approach, Mackenzie easily dodged Emerson’s slap and
kicked him in the shin. Then she targeted his groin, and finally, as he bent
He didn’t need to be a hero and save her at all…
“The rest of you, will you come at me one by one, or all at once?”
wondering how to vent her frustration. These people had walked right into her
trap, giving her the perfect opportunity to release her pent–up anger. Seeing
her icy gaze, Jamison retreated in fear, not daring to approach to even help

“Cowards!”

At that moment, Alfred approached respectfully and asked, “Sir, shouldn’t you

On the way, he received a call from Quintus.
“Quintus, I have a part–time job tonight, so I’m afraid I can’t.”
“No? That won’t do! How about this, I’ll introduce you to a super pretty woman
to accompany you for drinks, and I’ll compensate you for the wages you lost!”
Quintus hung up the phone and got out of his Range Rover the next moment.
In fact, his call to Emmanuel for drinks was just a backup plan, so it wasn’t a
