Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 471
Chapter 471
Mackenzie teased, “Are you doing it or not? If not, I’ll ask Wally and my family
bodyguards to follow me.”
At that, she took out her phone and pretended to make a call.
As expected, Emmanuel put a hand on hers and said, “Then let me go with
you. I don’t trust others to do that.”
His sweet words put a smile on her face, but she immediately frowned to
cover it.
After starting the car, he asked, “Isn’t the Lenoir family working with the
Verkades against the Quillen family’s business? Why is Tobias investing in
your family’s business?”
At that, Mackenzie answered, “You don’t know General Lenoir. He might look
like a serious man, but he’s a playboy who had many wives.”
Emmanuel knew the fact about Adolph. Claudette once told him that her
mother was Adolph’s third wife, while Laura was his fourth wife. However, it
wasn’t a rare case to marry many women in the social circle of wealthy and
influential figures.
Mackenzie continued, “Even though Tobias is a good–for–nothing, he’s the
richest son in the family because his mother came from a wealthy family in
Yeringham. She left a whole lot of wealth for him before she pa*sed away. He
should be able to live a comfortable life with that money.”
“I see.” Emmanuel nodded. That explains why I never see the same woman
around Tobias for more than a week. He’s a playboy like his father, and his
mother’s legacy enables him to be a playboy.
“Let’s just wait and see what happens. Maybe he’s sincere about investing in
the Terence Group.”
Mackenzie suspected Tobias‘ motives, but the Terence Group needed the
money. She had no choice but to meet him. However, she decided that she
would make him pay if it was a prank.
Two hours later, the Maserati stopped in front of a villa on the outskirts of
Yeringham.
It was a huge villa, and the decorations exuded a romantic vibe. Mackenzie
suspected that this place was where Tobias‘ secret lover stayed.
The two got out of the car and walked into the villa. An old man approached
them with a few bodyguards in tow.
“Mr. John!” Mackenzie, a usually distant woman, took the initiative to greet the
old man upon spotting him. She looked at him warily.
After all, the old man was a former personal bodyguard of Tobias‘ mother. He
was skillful, and it helped him to earn a reputation in Yeringham. Therefore,
Mackenzie knew him.
“Ms. Quillen, Mr. Lenoir is expecting you. Please follow me.”
The old man, Felix John, treated Mackenzie with respect by bowing to her.
However, he ignored Emmanuel as if he didn’t see the younger man.
He had no idea about the relationship between Mackenzie and Emmanuel, so
he a*sumed Emmanuel worked for her.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel paid no mind to Felix’s attitude. He followed them into
the villa, and his discovery shocked him.
A romantic candlelight dinner was prepared in the center of the room even
though it was daytime.
What am I expecting? He’s a playboy! Emmanuel knew Tobias was up to
something.
“Mr. Lenoir hopes to see Ms. Quillen alone. Anybody who doesn’t need to be
here should leave.” With that, Felix turned to Emmanuel.
“I’m not just anybody,” Emmanuel retorted. I’m here to protect her! I can’t let
her out of my sight!
“If you’re not just anybody, I a*sume you’re Ms. Quillen’s husband?” Felix
mocked. Little did he know, he was right on point.
Since Emmanuel refused to budge, the men behind Felix immediately walked
to stand behind Emmanuel.
“Ms. Quillen, you should go now if you’re not ready for this meeting.” Felix
didn’t order his men to act, but his tone was determined.
Emmanuel wanted to persuade Mackenzie to leave. After all, judging from
the environment and the request, anyone could tell that Tobias was trying to
make a move on Mackenzie.
“Don’t worry about me, Emmanuel. You can wait outside.”
In the end, Mackenzie asked Emmanuel to leave.
Might as well stay and make the best of it since I’m here.
As the president of the Terence Group, Mackenzie had been dealing with
tough tasks for the company. She wouldn’t give up that easily just because of
a little change in the event.
Chapter 472
Emmanuel was shocked to hear Mackenzie’s decision.
After locking eyes with her, he understood the untold words from her
expression. Clenching his fists, he nodded. “Be careful. I’ll be waiting outside.”
She nodded too.
Felix immediately asked the bodyguards to send Emmanuel away.
Emmanuel had been suspecting that Tobias was up to no good. As the
bodyguards brought him further away from the villa, the feeling grew
stronger.
However, he wanted to avoid being the one who used violence first. What if I
ruin her plan?
Therefore, he acted scared and asked in a shaky voice, “H–Hey, where are we
going? I’m getting a little thirsty. Can we rest somewhere and let me have
some water?”
They can keep on dreaming about trapping the Wolf Warrior in a washroom.
I’ll let them know that it’s merely their wishful thinking.
Emmanuel kicked the heavy door open.
The noise startled the men standing outside.
They were shocked to see Emmanuel kicking open the door. That guy is quite
something.
“You really don’t know how to behave, do you? Since you asked to do this the
hard way, we’ll gladly teach you a lesson.”
Growling, the bodyguards threw themselves at Emmanuel all at once.
They were trained fighters. Besides, it was all of them against one. As such,
they believed that they could overpower Emmanuel within a few seconds.
However, Emmanuel scoffed. “I never had a choice. You were the one who
asked me to do it the hard way.”
His punch sent the first bodyguard to fly across the room and hit the toilet.
Before the other bodyguards could react, Emmanuel kicked the second man.
The second bodyguard collapsed on his companion.
The remaining bodyguards panicked.
But Emmanuel spared them the suffering. A second later, the last two
bodyguards joined their companions near the toilet.
Emmanuel walked over to them and kicked the four men on their heads,
resulting in them face down in the toilet.
After that, he dusted off his hands and sneered. “How is it? Just like you
asked, no?”
The men struggled to their feet as they tried to throw up what they
accidentally drank. However, Emmanuel raised his foot and kicked them in
the face, leaving them pa*sed out on the floor. After that, he washed his
hands and walked out of the washroom. He then ran toward the villa.
“Mackenzie, be careful and protect yourself.”
It had been a while since Emmanuel worried about someone. Now that she
had become the person he was willing to die for, the thought awoke the
courage in his blood.
Meanwhile, in the villa.
Chapter 473
The music playing in the background gave off a romantic vibe.
Tobias kept filling Mackenzie’s gla*s with wine. He eyed her in anticipation
while running his tongue across his lips.
Now I see why Quintus likes her. She’s gorgeous. A man won’t need a life
when he has her.
“Cut to the chase, Tobias. How much are you investing in the Terence Group?
And in what terms will you be investing?”
Mackenzie remained the distant person she was. Even though the set–up
was romantic, she wasn’t moved at all. Instead, it disgusted her.
If it wasn’t for the financing for the Terence Group, she would have left earlier.
Since she called him out, Tobias slammed a 15 million check on the table.
Then, he crossed his legs as a proud look enveloped his expression. “Ms.
Quillen, I might not know a thing about doing business, but I’m well–off.”
Staring at the check, Mackenzie couldn’t help but clench her fists before
shooting him a question. “What are the conditions you have for investing in
the Terence Group?”
The Quillen family was rather influential in the industry. Their a*sets were
worth almost a thousand million. Mackenzie never cared about 15 million in
the past, but the reality was cruel. The Lenoirs and the Verkades were working
together against the Quillen family. The Quillens‘ chance of winning grew with
the investment of 15 million. Therefore, she would fight for it as long as there
was a chance.
“Ha! I can invest more than 15 million in your family’s business.”
Tobias laughed when he noticed the struggle on Mackenzie’s face. “My
mother left me quite a legacy. I have a few million to spend. The Quillen
family doesn’t stand a chance against the Lenoirs if I invest in the Lenoirs to
expand their energy market in Yeringham. Even though it won’t lead to
bankruptcy, the Quillen family will suffer quite a loss. Besides, it won’t be the
wealthiest family in Yeringham anymore.”
Mackenzie had to admit that his words hit a sore spot.
Tobias took in the change in her expression before he spoke up again.
“However, you and I together can push the Quillen family to the top if you’re
willing to marry me.”
She immediately turned him down in a cold voice. “No way.”
A few million could never turn her head.
Even if she wasn’t Emmanuel’s wife, she would never surrender herself to a
Sc*mbag like Tobias.
The corner of Tobias‘ lips twitched in annoyance.
Usually, he would have flipped the table and walked away.
However, he suppressed his anger this time and sighed. “I’m just suggesting. I
know you have misandry. Even Hubert and Quintus can’t turn your head, let
alone me, who has nothing but a few a*sets.”
Mackenzie relaxed at his words and no longer tried to leave.
Tobias was mesmerized by her gorgeousness as he added, “Ms. Quillen, now
that I’m able to admire you in proximity, I must say you’re prettier than ever. I
can’t believe I’m falling head over heels for you. It never happened in the
past. What about this? Since I’m fond of you, I’ll invest 15 million in the Terence
Group without a condition, provided that you finish, this drink. What do you
say?”
He couldn’t help the curling of his lips after he finished the words.–
Mackenzie had her doubts, but she had no reason to leave at this point.
After a moment of hesitation, she raised the gla*s. “I don’t see a problem if it’s
just one drink. However, I hope you can keep your promise. After all,
Emmanuel is still waiting for me outside.
Emmanuel? Tobias‘ face contorted in anger at the mention of the man’s
name.
I got slapped by Mr. Schmidt because of that loser! How dare she mention
him again? This is preposterous!
“Sure.” The next moment, Tobias signed the contract. Then, he raised his gla*s
at Mackenzie with a smile.
Yesterday, he had no choice but to let Emmanuel be because his ace wasn’t
around. However, he had Felix around today. It’s not your lucky day, loser! And
Mackenzie, the icy female president of Yeringham. No man ever turns her
head, but everything will change tonight.
Tobias could barely contain his laughter.
Chapter 474
Not long after Mackenzie had the drink, she felt her vision blur. The next
moment, she collapsed on the table with a thud.
“D–Did you just drug me?”
Mackenzie had been on her guard, but Tobias outsmarted her. She only
drank after watching him drink the wine. To her surprise, she was the one
Hosing her consciousness instead of him.
As a well–educated daughter from a wealthy family, she had always known
that eating the antidote that could prevent one from getting poisoned was
merely a fictional plot. Modern medical science proved that it was unrealistic.
“Haha! Ms. Quillen, people have been praising you for your wisdom, but it
seems like they’re exaggerating.” Tobias burst into laughter. “We drank the
wine from the same bottle, but we did not use the same gla*s. Surprise,
surprise!”
“Screw you!” Mackenzie was overconfident. She a*sumed that Tobias
wouldn’t use such a dirty trick against her, but he had proved her wrong.
Meanwhile, the drug was kicking in. She didn’t have enough power to yell for
help. Furthermore, Emmanuel couldn’t hear her even if she managed to
shout.
What am I supposed to do?
“No wonder people call you the most beautiful woman in Yeringham. You live
up to your name. The gorgeous face, the curvy body, and the smooth skin… It
must be an enjoyable sensation to leave a mark on your skin, eh?” Tobias
teased as he licked his lips. Desire erupted in his lower abdomen.
He had slept with many women before, from servants to cabin crew,
university students to policewomen. However, the most beautiful CEO in
Yeringham was the first.
Things will change today. Not even Hubert and Quintus can turn her head,
but she’s now at my mercy!
Tobias‘ cheeks flushed in excitement at the thought.
“I have to record such a wonderful moment.”
He had a habit of taking videos of the women he slept with. Sleeping with
Mackenzie was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity. He couldn’t guarantee
there would be a second time. Therefore, he had to shoot a video, so he
could relive the moment from time to time.
He gave no thought to the consequences as desire blinded his senses.
After placing his phone in a desirable position, Tobias threw himself at
Mackenzie. His body was boiling in desire.
However, he underestimated her.
The icy Mackenzie Quillen had strong willpower. Even though her limbs were
heavy, she raised her foot and kneed him in his groin.
He yelped as a shadow darkened his expression.
F*ck!
Tobias was grateful that she was weak, or she would have caused
permanent damage.
Mackenzie’s attack took her opponent by surprise, but she knew she couldn’t
knock him out. Therefore, she turned around and tried to escape.
She was in no condition to fight him.
“Where the hell do you think you are going? Mackenzie Quillen, I swear I’ll
make you pay the price for angering me until you beg for my mercy!” Tobias
was enraged. He lunged at her with abandon.
Mackenzie staggered for the exit, but he grabbed her by her calf and pulled
her to the ground.
She fell to the ground with a thud. The pain blinded her vision, and she began
to lose consciousness.
“Help me, Emmanuel…” Her words came out in a whisper before she
eventually pa*sed out.
“Mackenzie! Darling!” As if he could hear Mackenzie crying for help, Emmanuel
rushed into the villa in anxiety.
Just when he was about to barge into the villa, Felix stopped him in his tracks.
A group of professional bodyguards stood behind Felix.
“Go away! Nobody gets in my way!”
Emmanuel immediately punched the bodyguards and knocked out a few
men as a result. He didn’t dare to or want to waste his time on them.
The bodyguards couldn’t help but back off in a panic at the sight of the man
who had probably gone mad.
It wasn’t only because of Emmanuel’s skill. They could tell he would kill
anyone who got in his way.
Even after working for the Lenoir family for years, the bodyguards had never
seen a man as crazy as Emmanuel.
Chapter 475
“Don’t get in my way!” After sending another strong man flying across the
room, Emmanuel growled. Nobody dared to approach him due to his
intention to kill anyone who got in his way.
Just as he was about to open the door, a lean old man showed up before
him out of nowhere. The elderly man sent him staggering backward with just
a gentle push.
Emmanuel was surprised. After steadying himself, he looked at the old man
before him. The unease began to grow within him.
The old man could’ve sneaked up on me and wounded me badly. I’m
surprised such an expert serves Tobias.
“I told you that you’re not going anywhere.” Felix rested his hands behind him
as his eyes fell on Emmanuel’s face.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel shot him a defiant look. “I can go anywhere I want. You
can’t stop me.”
At that, he tried to walk into the villa.
He thought Felix would stop him, but the older man chose to see how it
played out after seeing the determined expression on his face and sensing
the threatening aura on him.
Emmanuel was already walking away from Felix.
Even the bodyguards were shocked to see the turn of events. Is Mr. John
Tetting him go just like that?
That was obviously not the case.
After all, Tobias‘ mother saved Felix’s life. Since then, Felix swore to be loyal to
Tobias.
Presently, Felix reached out his left hand and put it on Emmanuel’s shoulder.
He’s fast! Felix’s agility shocked Emmanuel. This old man is a match for the
female a*sa*sin in red I met in the valley that night.
“I have no choice but to fight you if you refuse to back off.” Felix sighed. After
Darley Cosmetice
all, he wasn’t eager to fight Emmanuel.
“Who, are you to stop me?” Mere words couldn’t stop Emmanuel. Growling, he
threw a fist at Felix.
His punch was stronger than before because he had a feeling that
Mackenzie was in danger.
Even so, Felix took the punch with his palm.
Emmanuel’s eyes widened in disbelief. This old man is stronger than I think.
However, he would stop at nothing. As such, he withdrew his hand before
punching Felix again.
Felix parried Emmanuel’s attack every time.
The bodyguards watched them in amazement. To them, Emmanuel’s attack
was very fierce. However, Felix was the most capable man in Yeringham.
Other people were no match for him, including Emmanuel.
“That boy is quite tough, but he’s no match for Mr. John. Haha!”
“That’s right. Nobody in the country is at Mr. John’s level!”
The bodyguards were engrossed in the conversation. To their surprise, Felix
let go of Emmanuel’s fist the next second.
Felix was no stranger to fighting. He never once backed down from a fight.
However, Emmanuel’s determination and resolution overwhelmed him to the
core.
“Why do you have to go this far?” Felix couldn’t help his curiosity.
Emmanuel shouted, “That’s because my wife is in danger!”
“What?” The answer struck Felix. He thought that Emmanuel was Mackenzie’s
bodyguard the whole time. Now he finally understood where Emmanuel’s
urgency came from.
It was only then that Felix knew Mackenzie was married.
Emmanuel rushed past Felix when Felix was lost in his thoughts.
“Mr. John! He’s about to get away!” The bodyguards yelped in surprise. After
all, Felix was known for his loyalty to Tobias.
Chapter 476
Emmanuel had rushed into the villa before Felix could come back to his
senses.
Resting his hands behind him, Felix remarked in a neutral tone, “Whatever. He
won’t dare to make a scene.”
Truth was, he would like to avoid fighting a young man like Emmanuel.
blood, losing the strength to move.
