Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 562
Chapter 561
On the other hand, the doubt in Mr. Willy’s subordinates‘ eyes was palpable
when they noticed he had no intention of keeping Terence, but they did not
dare to question him.
As he watched Terence’s departing figure, Mr. Willy’s eyes carried a hint of
eerie determination, and murmured, “Whether it’s the Energy Diagram of Nine
Palace or the unfinished product of the Quillen family, we must obtain them!”
After saying this, he sneered coldly.

Later that evening at the Quillen residence, Sarah walked into Felicity’s room,
smiling at her mother, who had just returned from outside. “Mom, aren’t you
having dinner tonight?”
“I have no appetite!” Felicity replied indifferently without turning around.
“How can you compete with them if you don’t eat right and take care of your
health?” Sarah questioned while placing the food on the table.
This statement piqued Felicity’s interest as she turned around and looked at
her only daughter, who always stood by her side.
“I found some Verdant Blooms and made a broth with them, Mom. Have
some to clear the toxins in your body!” While saying this, Sarah handed her
mother a bowl of broth.
Felicity was hesitant at first but eventually accepted the bowl with a hint of
surprise on her face. “Did you actually find it?”
“Of course! You’re my mom. I’ll do whatever it takes for the sake of your
health, no matter how troublesome it may be!” After saying this, Sarah
grinned at her mother and stated, “Even if you want to reclaim Dad’s
inheritance, I will also support you. After all, you are Dad’s spouse and the
legal nominee for his a*sets!”
Felicity shuddered upon hearing this. After a while, she bit her lip lightly and
said, “I consulted a lawyer today, but the chances of us reclaiming your
father’s inheritance through legal means are very slim.”
Sarah nodded in response. I knew that already, and the chances of it
happening were slim. Otherwise, Mom would have used the legal system to
fight for it.
“Still, this is unacceptable to me! Your father’s entire inheritance has always
been under the control of your grandfather! Why? Who gave him the right to
do that?!” Felicity’s anger got the best of her, and she ended up spilling some
of the broth on the floor.
“Calm down, Mom!” Sarah hurriedly went over to calm her mother down.
“There will always be a way! Grandpa is at fault for not giving you the
inheritance and even resorting to hurting you! That’s unacceptable!”
Looking at her daughter’s pensive gaze, Felicity pondered for a while before
gritting her teeth. “You’re right, Sarah! That despicable old man has no sense
of righteousness or justice, so I am not obliged to show him mercy. No matter
what, I will get what belongs to me! By any means necessary!”
Then, Sarah regarded her mother’s icy gaze and gently patted her on the
back. “Don’t get too worked up, Mom. Finish the broth first!”
Felicity nodded and drank the broth. After consuming the entire bowl, she felt
a warming sensation in her belly. At least I’m not fighting this battle alone,
and I still have my precious daughter by my side!
“Mom, it’s Christmas today, and New Year’s is approaching. Since the whole
family is gathering for dinner at home, you shouldn’t just hide in the room.
You’re the mistress of the Quillen family, after all!” Sarah reminded her
mother.
“You’re right! Even though we’re at a disadvantage, we’re not afraid of the
Quillen family. I am the mistress of the family!” Felicity didn’t want to be
marginalized by the family, so she decided to step into the hall. However, she
didn’t expect it to trigger another family dispute!
Chapter 562
Meanwhile, Terence and a group of Quillen family women were having a
banquet in the Quillen residence’s main hall.
Beatrix suddenly burst in, skipping around and announcing, “We’re back,
everyone!”
Everyone quickly turned their attention to the cheerful member of the Quillen
family, but their gaze soon shifted to Mackenzie, who entered after her.
“Oh? Mackenzie is finally back!”
“I’ve been expecting your return for so long, Mackenzie! Has work been
occupying you? Come on in and have some warm broth. It’s cold outside!”
“Exactly. It’s always so cold around the New Year! Why are you still working so
hard, Mackenzie? The festive season is coming up!”
The group of women from the family hurriedly gathered around Mackenzie,
causing Beatrix to pout. “Everyone! Am I transparent to you? Did I just slip your
mind, or what? I stayed up late with Mackenzie at work too!”
“Alright, alright. You’ve also put in a lot of effort. Come and have some broth!”
After saying this, Samantha ruffled her tiny head and pulled her over to the
dining table.
“Thank you, Aunt Samantha!” Though Beatrix’s anger burned brightly
momentarily, it quickly dissipated behind the veneer of a cheerful exterior.
Before the food was served, however, she saw Sarah coming out with her
arm linked to Felicity’s, and she immediately pulled a long face. “Well, look
who’s here. Sarah Quillen! How dare you come back to our house, you
shameless woman?!” Suddenly, she transformed into a ferocious wild horse,
escaping from Samantha’s grasp and charging madly toward Sarah.
The entire family was taken aback and couldn’t help but wonder what had
happened between the two sisters.
“What are you talking about, Beatrix?” Sarah wore a face of innocence along
with a bitter smile. “I am a member of the Quillen family, and I haven’t even
gotten married yet. Where else should I go if not back here?”
“You’re still trying to pretend, aren’t you?” Beatrix’s temper flared when she
saw her sister’s innocent expression. With a hysterical grabbing and pulling
off her sleeves, she shouted, “Confess already! Did you intentionally try to
seduce Emmanuel? How shameless can you be to do such a despicable
thing?”
“What?!”
Beatrix’s words undoubtedly elicited a strong reaction from the Quillen family,
so it was not surprising that they were stunned to hear this statement.
“Let go, Beatrix! Let go of me! It hurts-” Unable to break free from her sister’s
grip, Sarah nearly cried.

While watching the event unfold, Mackenzie intervened to stop Beatrix
despite knowing that Sarah was feigning her vulnerability. “Enough, Beatrix!”
When Beatrix heard this, she withdrew her hand and snorted, but she did not
expect Felicity to approach and slap her across the face!
Slap!
After that, the joyful atmosphere in the hall immediately turned awkward.
“W–Why did you slap me, Mom?” While saying this, Beatrix covered her
stinging cheek, grievance written all over her face.
On the other hand, Felicity stared at her with a stern expression. “How dare
you question why I slapped you? Have you forgotten about respecting your
elders? Sarah is your elder sister. How could you lay a hand on her?”
“But Mom-”
Beatrix attempted to explain, but Felicity interrupted coldly, “Don’t you know
how popular Sarah is among men? Even so, she has always maintained her
integrity. Let’s put aside the fact that she would never try to seduce someone
like Emmanuel. Even if they were together, he would most likely be the sneaky
one who isn’t content with having just one woman!”
“Mom, you should be reasonable-”
“Stop talking and come back, Beatrix!” Mackenzie interjected right as Beatrix
began to argue with Felicity.
“What on earth is going on?!” With the aid of his cane, Terence rose to his feet
in a rage, determined to find out what was going on. He had absolute trust in
Emmanuel. That boy is too innocent. How could he possibly seduce Sarah?
Chapter 563
Meanwhile, Terence was still reeling from what he had just heard and
contemplated the situation. Sarah has never misbehaved in my presence, so
I highly doubt she would try to seduce Emmanuel. How could something like
this happen?
“What happened, Mackenzie?” Samantha asked because they wanted to
hear it from Mackenzie.
Everyone in the hall couldn’t believe Beatrix and Sarah because their stories
were contradictory, but they would undoubtedly believe Mackenzie if she told
her version of events.
“It’s nothing, Grandpa. Don’t worry!”
Mackenzie rea*sured him while walking up to him, trying to downplay the
situation. In a confident and generous tone, she explained, “Some malicious
people sent me photos of Emmanuel and Sarah together, but I believe he’s
not the type to cheat. Why would I not trust my husband?” While saying this,
her gaze was fixed on Sarah.
In contrast, Sarah was too terrified to look her sister in the eyes, but her face
was etched with grief.
“I see!” Terence nodded and said decisively, “I trust Emmanuel in this matter!
Of course, I also trust Sarah, my obedient child. You couldn’t possibly have
anything to do with your brother–in–law. It must be a misunderstanding! So,
let’s drop the subject and stop making wild guesses until Emmanuel has
arrived!
“Okay, Grandpa!”
Then, Mackenzie escorted Terence back to his seat with a nonchalant
expression.
In the meantime, Sarah’s eyes flashed a deceitful gleam.

On the other hand, Beatrix’s mouth widened incredulously. Before, Mackenzie
got drunk out of jealousy after learning that Emmanuel had a candlelight
dinner with Claudette. Now, though, how could she possibly seem unaffected
by something so scandalous? I’m sure she’s learned to let go of her feelings!
Still, how could she have changed so much?
“Control your own daughter, Felicity!” Despite everything that had happened,
Samantha remained steadfast in supporting Mackenzie. Then, Samantha
approached Felicity and cautioned her with a cold glare.
The mere sight of that expression set Felicity’s fury off in overdrive. “What’s
that glare supposed to mean, Samantha? How far do you want to go to bully
the both of us?” Then, she pointed at Samantha and growled angrily,
contrasting her graceful and refined demeanor. I’ve had enough of this! This
is the final straw for me!
“Literally what it means!” With her fiery character, there was no way
Samantha would back down just because Felicity made a fuss. Instead, she
fought back and taunted, “Sarah has been under your care since she was
young. As her mother, you must take full responsibility for her personality and
whatever shameless things she does. Hah. She even started seducing her
sister’s husband. What a scheming woman!”
Nonetheless, those words didn’t bother Sarah, but Fèlicity’s face had flushed
scarlet with rage, and she looked like she might explode.
“H–How could you?! You’ll regret saying that!” While saying this, Felicity
pounced on Samantha and strangled her neck.
“Hey,,stop fighting!”
“Stop it already!”
The women in the Quillen family were shocked because the family had
always upheld strict family values, and this was the first time they had
witnessed such a scene. Soon, everyone rushed forward to intervene and
stop the fight.
Terence pounded his cane angrily as he watched the unfolding drama. “This
is outrageous! How could you behave like that, Felicity?”
To their surprise, Felicity was no match for Samantha. Samantha’s temper
overwhelmed her, causing Samantha to pin the woman down before she
sent a few slaps at her face!
“How could you slap me? You must be sick of living! Today, I will teach you a
lesson, ungrateful witch!”
Slap after slap, Felicity’s face swelled up like a ball, and blood oozed from the
corners of her mouth.
The entire scene shocked the family so much that nobody dared to
intervene.
Chapter 564
“Stop… Please stop-” Terence wanted to stop them, but his chest hurt so
badly that he could only clutch it tightly.
“Old Mr. Quillen!” Alfred was rushing to get him medicine, and he didn’t have
time to intervene in the fight.
On the other hand, Sarah did not venture to step in and was content to yell
“Stop” from the sidelines.
When Samantha raised her hand again, she felt a strong grip on her wrist
and yelled, “Who is it?!” She a*sumed it was Sarah and was prepared to beat
up whoever was obstructing her, but when she turned her head, she was
stunned.
Then, Mackenzie slowly released Samantha’s wrist and coldly ordered, “Stop
it!”
As soon as she realized what she was doing, Samantha stopped but couldn’t
help mumbling, “How dare you lay a hand on me? You’re simply
embarra*sing yourself!”
Due to their family hierarchy, no one from the Quillen family rushed to a*sist
Felicity in getting back on her feet. The fight left her hair disheveled, her face
puffy and red, and blood seeping from the corners of her lips. Beatrix could
not help but feel heartbroken at her mother’s pitiful and miserable
appearance. Although she didn’t stand on her mother’s side, Felicity was still
her mother!
When Beatrix rushed over to her mother to help her get to her feet, Sarah
raced past her and pushed her aside. Then, Sarah uttered coldly, “Stop
pretending to be nice!”
Beatrix was taken aback upon hearing this.
“Let’s go, Mom. This family doesn’t seem to welcome us anymore!” Sarah
pulled Felicity up and lamented in an aggrieved tone.
“All of you, remember this day!” With bloodshot eyes, Felicity trembled as she
screamed at the top of her lungs, “The entire Quillen family is at fault for
bullying me! You are the ones who forced me to a dead one! I swear that I
will ruin all of your reputations! I want you to suffer and become miserable!”
“s–Shut up!” After taking his medication, Terence roared as his face turned an
unnatural shade of red.
“Dad!” Samantha hurriedly approached him in a state of apprehension.
However, Terence smacked her across the face and chided her, “Do you even
have manners? How could you do that earlier? Have you forgotten who you
are? Should you solve problems by resorting to violence? What happened to
your upbringing? Has anyone ever taught you to fight with your own family?”
Once again, the entire hall was enveloped in silence.
Samantha was a filial child, so she sat through her father’s scolding without
saying anything, like a child who had done something wrong, all for the sake
of her father’s health!
However, Terence angrily scolded again, “You, move it!”
Then, she quickly moved aside upon hearing this.
On the other hand, Mackenzie understood why her grandfather was so
furious. The conflicts between Felicity and the Quillen family were already
intense and irreconcilable. If Samantha were to escalate this matter, it would
undoubtedly bring disaster to the family! After all, no matter how much
Felicity favored her own family, she was still the daughter–in–law of the
Quillen family.
“Are you alright, Felicity?” Terence had a firm attitude toward Felicity in the
morning, but he had not intended to provoke a direct conflict. Since things
had reached this point, he needed to find a way to appease Felicity.
“Hmph, stop pretending to be nice!” As expected, Felicity didn’t appreciate it
“I’m leaving the Quillen residence right now, and I will reclaim what rightfully
belongs to me! By any means necessary!!” She took advantage of her
righteous indignation by articulating her feelings clearly and then leaving the
hall accompanied by Sarah.
“Shall we stop them, Old Mr. Quillen?” Alfred was also concerned about the
seriousness of the situation, as he understood the importance of maintaining
family harmony.
“Let them go. I’m afraid we can’t keep them here anymore,” Terence
responded, resigning himself to the situation. Since Felicity and Samantha
had just had a major fight, he reasoned that it would be best if they didn’t see
each other for a while to avoid a resumption of hostilities. Another reason
was that he was apprehensive about Mackenzie and Sarah meeting
face–to–face. He knew she would still harbor resentment toward her sister
despite Mackenzie’s outward tolerant attitude, and this animosity would
eventually boil over.
In the meantime, Mackenzie gradually clenched her delicate hands as she
watched Sarah’s departing figure. She had no choice but to put on an act of
faith in Emmanuel in front of Sarah; otherwise, she would fall into her sister’s
trap. However, even after Sarah left, she could not help but feel a cloud of
uncertainty in her heart.
Chapter 565
Ultimately, Mackenzie was resolved to pry the truth out of Emmanuel!
Meanwhile, the man finally returned to Yociam Residence. He had not
contacted his wife beforehand because he wanted to surprise her, but he
didn’t anticipate that she wouldn’t be home tonight.
Just as Emmanuel was about to call her, his phone rang. “Hello, Mom?”
“Manny, are you back in Yeringham?”
Alessandra was aware of her son’s trip to Eastern Star Mountain, but when he
returned, he went straight to Lenoir Residence to save Claudette, so he
hadn’t had the opportunity to call his mother.
“Yes. I’m back!”
“Great. I’m content as long as you return safely,” she said.
Emmanuel had avoided going into detail with his mother about Claudette’s
situation, and Roselynn had done the same to spare her mother’s anxiety.
Moreover, Alessandra was at the bottom of the social ladder, so she wasn’t
aware of the upper cla*s‘ power struggles in Yeringham. She was also
unaware of the entanglement between the Lenoir and Quillen families until
today. Aside from her son’s safety, her main concern was her
daughter–in–law. So, she asked, “Manny, New Year’s is just around the corner.
When are you and Mackenzie coming back home?”
After hearing his mother’s statement, Emmanuel was suddenly reminded
that New Year’s was approaching. As he reflected on the past three months,
he realized that he had never expected his marriage to last until the New
Year. Hmmm! Bringing my wife home for the holidays and spending quality
time with my mom in the New Year sounds like a wonderful idea. My primary
concern right now is whether Mackenzie will agree to this. Will she go along
with this? Even though he was clueless, he responded to his mother, “I’ll go
home tomorrow to clean the house with you, but I will still have to check
Mackenzie’s schedule!”
“Oh dear, do you still have to check her schedule? Is she also working on New
Year’s Day?” Alessandra was anxious because she and Roselynn had already
completed the preparations for the New Year, but she desired to spend
quality time with her family during the festive season. Without my son and
daughter–in–law here for New Year’s, I doubt I would feel the same
excitement about the holiday.
“I don’t think she has to work on that particular day.” He quickly rea*sured his
mother, “Don’t worry, Mom! I’ll do everything I can to persuade Mackenzie to
spend the New Year with us, even if it’s only for one day!”
“I–I’ll wait for your news, then. With that, Alessandra hung up the phone
worriedly.
Consequently, Emmanuel had an even greater reason to contact Mackenzie
and ask if she could accompany him back home. However, what happened
next was beyond his expectations!
He dialed his wife’s number, and the line went through, but he was cut off
before he could speak. Instead, she snorted coldly and ranted, “How long has
it been since you returned? Did you just remember to call me? Sorry, I’m busy
right now!”
Toot! Toot!
When he heard the phone get disconnected, Emmanuel smiled wryly. Her icy
personality is authentic, and she immediately silenced me before I could
even utter a word. Is she angry? What should I do now? If only I hadn’t left the
Quillen residence that day! Hmm… I should talk to Roselynn about this…
His sister was the only person he could consult for relationship advice,
despite her limited relationship experience. Coincidentally, his phone rang
just as he was about to call his sister.
He noticed it was an unknown number from Yeringham, but it wasn’t flagged
as a scam call by the national anti–fraud app. After wondering who might be
awkward to bring up. Would she be able to confront her husband about his
to snatch our market! I don’t have time to think about anything else!”
entrance. It finally dawned on her what Lexi was up to. Wow, she teamed up
