Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 582
Chapter 581
Many people at the scene did not despise Hugó and the others, but quite a
few looked at Emmanuel with pity and mockery. Poor dude looked like him
could only back down, so what else could he do? He had already consumed
so much alcohol earlier. If he insisted on drinking more, getting drunk would
be a small matter. The genuine concern was that he might end up getting
himself killed!
Emmanuel’s temperament certainly would not allow him to back down in
front of these people. However, Mackenzie quietly pulled him aside, fearing
that he would lose his cool and fall into a trap.
Hubert and his group were all second–generation rich kids, and she knew
that Hugo frequented nightclubs and had been practicing his drinking
capacity for years, so his limits were truly unfathomable. As long as
Emmanuel accepted the challenge, they would surely try to get him drunk to
the point of unconsciousness.
She did not want that!
Seeing the situation, Beatrix thought Emmanuel was too cowardly to accept
the challenge and became anxious. It was his debut in the Quillen family, and
with so many people watching, he would not want to make a fool of himself,
would he?
It would not only make everyone look down on him, but it might also bring
ridicule upon Mackenzie!
Terence, on the other hand, remained calm, with a smile playing at the
corners of his mouth, and had no intention of intervening. Samantha’s gaze
even carried a hint of excitement. Hmph, to become a member of the Quillen
family, one must either have wisdom or real strength. It’s not that easy!
“Since everyone is so excited, fine!” Just as everyone thought Emmanuel
would back down or find an excuse, he strode toward Hugo and the others.
“This idiot thing…” Mackenzie muttered quietly, understanding that he did not
want to embarra*s her, which was why she did not continue to stop him.
“Alright, bro. How do you want to do this drinking challenge?” Emmanuel
pretended to be familiar with him as he patted Hubert’s back, almost causing
this dandy to spit out everything he ate yesterday.
Emmanuel knew very well that everything happening tonight was
orchestrated by Hubert.
“Screw you!” Hubert suffered a silent loss and cursed inwardly, Who says
we’re bros? We’re archenemies who won’t rest until one of us is dead!
“Since the leading man is so enthusiastic today, do you dare to have a
drinking contest with me?” Hugo finally followed the rhythm and challenged
Emmanuel, wearing a disdainful look.
If Emmanuel did not have the courage, he would surely make him feel
embarra*sed, making it impossible for him to continue staying by
Mackenzie’s side.
“Let’s do it! Let’s do it!”
The men around Hugo joined in the cheering, and the banquet gradually
became rowdy. Everyone was here to see Mackenzie’s man and see what
outstanding qualities he had. However, Emmanuel did not agree immediately
but asked Hugo, “Are you married?”
“Me?” He was momentarily startled, then burst into laughter. “Who doesn’t
know that I, the young master, am a playboy prince? How can I enter the
tomb of love so quickly? Haha…”
“Turns out you’re still single. That puts my mind at ease!” Emmanuel laughed.
“If you accidentally drink yourself to death, at least no woman would turn into
a widow tonight!”
After a moment, the whole room erupted into laughter. Many even clapped!
It turned out Mackenzie’s man showed intelligence and wit, being able to
counterattack with sarcastic remarks against those who mocked him.
“Not bad!” Samantha became even more satisfied with Emmanuel.
“Hmph. I didn’t come here to play word games with you. Let’s get on with it!”
Hugo, who had just been showing off, instantly became furious. He picked up
a bottle from the table and poured it into his mouth as if it were water.
Glug! Only when he slammed the empty bottle on the table that applause
filled the room once again.
“The king of the nightlife truly lives up to his reputation!” Beatrix began to
worry about her brother–in–law. Can he handle this?
“Leading man, it’s your turn! Do you want me to get you a cup?” Hugo wiped
his mouth, feeling proud. “For the sake of Ms. Quillen, as long as you can finish
a bottle of strong liquor, I don’t care how you do it!”
Emmanuel smiled calmly, choosing not to respond for the time being. He
walked to the front of the table, picked up the empty bottle, and clicked his
tongue. “This bottle is indeed too big. Can I have a smaller one?”
“Hahaha…”
As Hugo burst into laughter, everyone looked at Emmanuel with mockery.
They had thought he had some skill, but they did not expect him to be so
embarra*sing..
Chapter 582
“My point is, I want to drink ten bottles. Vodka!” Emmanuel’s calm words
caused the chorus of boos in the room to abruptly stop.
He sure knows how to make an entrance, huh? Vodka? Ten bottles at once?
Could Mackenzie have been impressed by his bragging skills?
Mackenzie also understood what everyone was thinking. However, she was
more observant than the others, and she knew Emmanuel better.
He wasn’t just boasting; he had absolute confidence.
“Bring him ten bottles of vodka,” Mackenzie ordered personally.
The previously astonished crowd was now in an uproar.
Mackenzie truly lives up to her reputation as a ruthless businesswoman, but
will she replace him with another man so quickly?
“But… Miss!” The Quillen family’s servants at the scene were also flustered.
“I said, bring them to him!” Mackenzie coldly reiterated.
“Yes!” The servants had no choice but to comply. They quickly placed ten
bottles of vodka on the table and opened one bottle for everyone to verify.
Then, Emmanuel picked up one bottle and was about to finish it in one go.
“Hey, kid!” Hugo stopped him, chuckling. “Let’s get this straight. This is your
attempt to show off. If you end up drinking yourself to death, it’s none of my
business!”
Emmanuel smiled calmly, finished the bottle in one go, and only then
responded, “You just took the words out of my mouth!”
Hugo did not possess the same calm demeanor as Emmanuel. Provoked, he
suddenly became furious on the spot. “Fine! You drink one bottle, and I’ll drink
one with you!”
After so many years of dominating the drinking scene, he hadn’t been
challenged like this in a long time.
“Deal!” Emmanuel did not waste time engaging in banter and picked up
another bottle, pouring it directly into his mouth.
His movements were bold, and the rhythmic movement of his Adam’s apple
was full of masculinity.
Many women in the audience became infatuated, gradually understanding
why Mackenzie chose him.
Mackenzie maintained a calm facade, but inside, she was thunderstruck.
That is 55 percent vodka! Did this idiot Emmanuel think he was drinking
Mountain Valley Spring Water? Is he asking for death?
However, even after downing several bottles in a row, Emmanuel remained
unfazed.
But the entire room was dumbfounded.
Did he really drink that strong vodka?
Had the merchants become shameless enough to dilute it with water?
Hugo initially thought the same, but after finishing one bottle and preparing
to grab the second, he suddenly collapsed onto the table, spilling alcohol all
over Hubert and the other rich kids.
The whole room erupted in laughter.
“This… How is this possible?” Hubert also suspected that there was something
wrong with the alcohol. He quickly opened the remaining bottles, only to find
that they were all genuine vodka.
Emmanuel then picked up another bottle and finished it in one go,
completely leaving Hubert dumbfounded and on the verge of kneeling.
The entire room applauded Emmanuel.
They acknowledged that this man did indeed have some skills. Whichever
woman got together with him would feel a great sense of security.
“Which one of you still wants to challenge me?” Emmanuel, standing
triumphantly over the defeated Hugo, scanned Hubert and the others.
These people were taken aback, and no one dared to meet his gaze.
Who would want to compete in a drinking match with a madman like him?
Chapter 583
“Hahaha, impressive! Impressive!”
As Hubert stood there dumbfounded, unsure how to respond, a magnetic
male voice sounded.
Emmanuel and everyone else turned their heads in the direction of the voice,
only to find Gautier suddenly appearing and walking toward them.
Gautier smoothly picked up three wine gla*ses from the table and slowly
poured three gla*ses of red wine.
He handed one gla*s to Emmanuel.
As the CEO of Verkade Group, he always attracted attention in any
Yeringham gathering.
“Here, allow me to offer my sincerest congratulations to this lovely couple!”
There’s no need to offend someone who extends a hand in friendship! Even
though Emmanuel suspected that this cunning playboy had ulterior motives,
he could only politely accept the gla*s in front of so many people.
Gautier then slowly handed the other gla*s of wine to Mackenzie, who stared
at her archnemesis with a slight curve on her lips.
This was the game of the upper cla*s!
Even if they fought fiercely in private, they still had to wear smiling masks in
public.
It was a sign of respect for a formidable opponent.
“To your happiness!” Gautier clinked gla*ses with them, then raised his gla*s
and downed the red wine.
Emmanuel and Mackenzie followed suit.
The scene drew applause from the entire room.
Everyone knew that Gautier and Mackenzie were the two most outstanding
CEOS in Yeringham, and this toast was likely to become tomorrow’s headline
news in Yeringham, barring any surprises!
The cameras of the on–site reporters captured the moment perfectly.
“Oh, Hubert, as Mackenzie’s pursuer for over ten years, why don’t you
generously congratulate your dream girl on finding true love?” Gautier
teased.
Finally, many people understood that Gautier’s appearance was actually to
provide an escape route for his little brother.
Otherwise, with Hubert’s caliber, he would only become everyone’s
laughingstock!
“Mackenzie, I wish you all the best!” Hubert hurriedly took two gla*ses of red
wine and walked up to Mackenzie. He offered one to her as his eyes welled
up with tears.
He was putting in quite the effort to pretend to be heartbroken!
Emmanuel noticed a slight flicker in Hubert’s eyes. He suspected that Hubert
was deliberately using his dramatic expression to conceal something. So, he
glanced at the gla*s of wine Hubert handed to Mackenzie.
The color and appearance of the drink seemed slightly off. Sure enough, he
had secretly spiked it again! What audacity! He dares to do this even in such
a setting?
However, in a setting like this, with Hubert’s status as the son of the Verkade
family, Emmanuel couldn’t forcibly stop him when he was offering a toast,
could he?
“Wait a minute!” Emmanuel called for a halt.
All eyes turned to him.
With a slight smirk on his lips, he raised his gla*s. “Since you’re offering your
blessings to Mackenzie and me, would you mind if I join in the toast as well?”
Applause and cheers filled the room once again.
What a harmonious love triangle!
However, an unexpected incident occurred in which Emmanuel accidentally
spilled red wine on Hubert.
“Oops, sorry! I got a bit carried away while receiving blessings from my rival!”
Emmanuel quickly put down his gla*s and started wiping Hubert off.
A few scattered friendly laughs echoed throughout the room.
Hubert was about to curse in anger but realized that all eyes were fixed on
him.
Chapter 584
In order to stick to the plan, he had no choice but to instantly turn his anger
into a smile. “In the future, you must take good care of Mackenzie. If you dare
to mistreat her, I’ll be the first one to hold you accountable!”
“Oh, I see!”
Emmanuel flashed a bright smile. “You scared me! I thought you were still as
crude as before!”
“Hahaha…”
Laughter erupted once again, followed by applause.
Many people in the room knew who Hubert was, so Emmanuel’s humor won
over quite a few people.
Mackenzie also curled her red lips. She didn’t expect this fool to behave well
today, which surpa*sed her expectations.
Gautier saw that Hubert didn’t have his guard up against Emmanuel. After he
drank the wine, he shook his head disappointedly. “What a hopeless case he
is!” he muttered to himself.
Then, he turned and left the scene.
“Hey hey, it’s not appropriate for just the three of you to drink when we’re all at
the same table, right? Let’s all drink together!”
Hubert’s friends at the table also came over with their wine gla*ses to offer a
toast.

They didn’t dare to have a drinking contest, but they still wanted to join in on
the fun!
Emmanuel accepted their wine gla*ses without hesitation, clinking gla*ses
with each of them and downing all the wine in one go.
His excellent drinking capacity drew further cheers and applause from the
guests.
After the toasts, the other wealthy young men looked at Hubert, indicating
that he could proceed with the plan.
Understanding their intentions, Hubert looked at Mackenzie tenderly and said,
“Mackenzie, I’ve liked you for over ten years. You should know it in your heart.
Seeing you finally bid farewell to singlehood today makes me feel unhappy.
There are a few words that have been pent up inside me for a long time. Can
I speak with you alone?”
Mackenzie looked disgusted and had no intention of showing Hubert any
respect.
However, Emmanuel generously said, “Mackenzie, why don’t you give him this
chance? Let him get rid of any lingering thoughts about you.”
Although Mackenzie didn’t know what Emmanuel was up to, she knew that
this fool must have a plan, so she reluctantly nodded and stood up.
Seeing Mackenzie going along with Emmanuel’s words like this, Hubert
naturally felt uncomfortable, but soon a sinister smile appeared on his face.
This idiot, Emmanuel, is willingly handing his woman to me? You’ll regret it in
the future!
Hubert had just used Hugo’s ring to secretly spike Mackenzie’s drink.
The effects of the drug would kick in quickly. Now that he was taking
Mackenzie away alone, he would find a room or restroom and have his way
with her while the drug was taking effect!
As for Emmanuel, he had just drunk so much. Thus, Hubert probably wouldn’t
need to do anything to him. Once the alcohol kicked in, Emmanuel would
pa*s out on his own.
By the time Emmanuel woke up, Mackenzie’s virginity would be gone!
Seeing Mackenzie and Hubert leaving, many people at the scene were
puzzled.
Beatrix approached Emmanuel with a pout, questioning, “Hey, you big fool,
what are you up to? Why did you let my sister leave the banquet with that
annoying jerk?”
“Do you want to know? Then come with me!”
After saying that, Emmanuel followed Mackenzie and Hubert out.
Samantha watched their departure and knew that something must have
happened.
However, she chose to trust Mackenzie and Emmanuel. Let the young people
handle their own affairs.
She and Terence, along with the rest of the Quillen family, would stay behind
to entertain the guests!
After forcibly sobering up, Hugo immediately and secretly followed Hubert
and Mackenzie with a few of his shady friends.
“Hurry, get your phones ready!”
“Mr. Verkade is about to start his act with Ms. Mackenzie! We must record the
whole process so that we can admire Ms. Mackenzie’s exquisite figure every
day. Just thinking about it gets me excited! Hahaha…”
The group`sṇeaked out of the banquet hall, unaware that Emmanuel and
Beatrix were following them from behind.
“Darn it, what are those guys up to?”
Beatrix already knew about Hubert and Hugo’s perverted nature. Their dirty
tricks were nothing new, but she never expected them to dare to do
something improper to her sister in the Quillen residence.
“They’re asking for trouble!”
Beatrix immediately wanted to call someone to deal with them and protect
her sister.
However, Emmanuel gently held her hand, confidently smiling. “Don’t worry,
your sister won’t suffer!”
Seeing Emmanuel’s expression, Beatrix looked at him with newfound
admiration.
Although her big fool of a brother–in–law might be emotionally slow, his mind
was sharp. Could it be that he had already made arrangements? Is that why
Chapter 584 Mackenzie’s Virginity
he was so confident in letting Mackenzie talk to Hubert alone?
Chapter 585
Back in the room, Mackenzie sat with her legs crossed and stared at Hubert.
She hadn’t said a word the entire time!
She hadn’t even paid much attention to what he was saying because she still
had misandry.
As for when her misandry started, she couldn’t quite remember. However,
she was clear that it was ten years ago when Hubert relentlessly pursued
her. She developed this aversion toward men who acted like simps because
of that.
“Mackenzie, won’t you reconsider? What can a man like Emmanuel give you
that I can’t? I can give you happiness and excitement and even bring
business benefits to the Quillen family, making you a true queen of
Yeringham…” Hubert’s mouth never stopped moving.
He was waiting–waiting for the drug to take effect on Mackenzie!
Then, he could take advantage of the situation to sleep with her and claim it

was her initiative.
Yes, everything will be fine!
But as they waited, he started to feel something was off. Why did he have this
burning sensation, a desire to vent fiercely?
What’s going on?
“Why is nothing happening inside?”
“Yeah, the drug is taking too long to work this time, isn’t it?”
Hugo and a few other men were puzzled outside the room, growing
impatient. They were anxious, and their bodies began to heat up as if the
flames of desire had been lit within them!
Wait a minute…
Suddenly, they also felt something was amiss. Why were they feeling so hot
allover?
At first, they thought it was just the anxiety making them feel hot, but
gradually, it felt like it was getting out of control!
Watching a group of sleazy men guarding outside the room where her sister
went in, Beatrix had long wanted to go over and see what they were up to.
Now, seeing them starting to undress, she couldn’t hold back anymore!
Emmanuel gently held her back and finally confessed to her. “Ms. Beatrix, just
now, Hubert brought a gla*s of spiked wine and asked your sister to drink it. I
switched it during the process, and when the other men rushed to toast, I
poured the drugged wine into their gla*ses!”
Beatrix’s eyes widened in astonishment! “Are you serious?”
She and the others didn’t notice her brother–in–law’s actions at all!
He smiled calmly. “Whether I’m telling the truth or not, you’ll know when you
go over and take a look. I’ll let you decide how to deal with these wretches!”
After saying that, he walked over with large strides.
Hugo and the others heard the commotion and quickly turned around.
Emmanuel swiftly kicked every one of these despicable scoundrels into the
room.
“Mackenzie, I’m here to take you home!” He held onto the doorknob and
entered.
Inside, Hubert looked at him in astonishment.
On the other hand, Mackenzie remained composed, standing up and slowly
walking to Emmanuel’s side.
“Hey, Mackenzie! You can’t leave!” Hubert was burning with heat all over his
body. So, he quickly pounced toward her
He was still waiting for the opportunity to vent his frustrations. If his goddess
were to leave, what would he do?
However, Mackenzie still didn’t turn back, as if she couldn’t hear any sound he
made.
Emmanuel kicked Hubert in the face, knocking this audacious fellow down.
Click! He then locked the door.
“Hey, open the door, or something bad will happen! This is not a joke! Help!”
Hugo and the others felt their bodies growing hotter and hotter, desperately
pounding on the door and wailing in despair.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
No one opened the door for them, and there was no way to break it down
either!
“Crap! I can’t hold myself back any more!” Hugo shouted.
He knew full well the effects of the drug. He would lose his sanity if he didn’t
release his pent–up desires immediately.
However, there were only a bunch of men in the room. What were they
supposed to do?

Gradually, Hugo’s gaze turned toward Hubert.
The others also shifted their gaze toward the clean and refined young master
lying on the ground.
The more they looked, the more they found him attractive!
They couldn’t help but want to…
Wait, no, he’s a man!
Chapter 586
“Damn it, I can’t wait any longer!”
They pounced on Hubert like starving ghosts fighting for food.
“Hey, what are you trying to do? Stop it!”
Hubert was still groggy from Emmanuel’s kick and in pain from his
companions‘ actions. He gradually regained consciousness and started
screaming frantically.
