Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 592
Chapter 591
All women in the Quillen family were extremely hostile toward Felicity for one
reason alone. Since marrying into the Quillens, she had been constantly
damaging their interests by taking advantage of her status as the family’s
daughter–in–law. She benefited her own family in every way possible:
projects, markets, funds, even landownerships or futures… She would give
whatever she could to the Lenoirs regardless of the situation. Sometimes she
succeeded, sometimes she didn’t. Still, she always based her interests on the
Lenoirs, not the Quillens. Because of this, the Quillen family’s women had long
detested this bloodsucking parasite of their family. Had Terence not focused
on the bigger picture, they would have gotten rid of her at the quickest
opportunity!
Taking heed of her example, most women in the Quillen family thus chose to
stay unmarried to prevent any man from marrying into their family. Even the
daughters who were married off had no real power in the family, so they
could never give away the family’s a*sets.
However, going on like this wasn’t the solution, considering that the Quillens
were mostly women in the first place. At the end of the day, the Quillen family
was in need of men. Therefore, it went without saying that Mackenzie’s
husband was now the family’s top priority. Every woman in the Quillen family
would keep a check on him, so it wouldn’t be that easy for him to really
become part of their family! At the sight of the look on Mackenzie’s face,
Samantha hurriedly stopped Hannah. “Hannah, what are you talking about?
Stop it already!”
Hannah wouldn’t shut up, though. “Why should I stop it? I’m saying this for the
good of both Mackenzie and our family!”
Samantha stared straight at her, arguing, “Emmanuel was picked out by Dad
for Mackenzie, who only gave her approval after keeping him under
observation for three months! By saying that, do you mean you don’t believe
in Dad and Mackenzie’s judgment?”
Hannah retorted defiantly, “I know both Dad and Mackenzie have great
wisdom, but even they can slip up sometimes! And besides, Mackenzie isn’t
an expert when it comes to relationships. Is it wrong of me to share my
experience with her as someone experienced in romance?”
Knowing Hannah’s sharp tongue, Samantha was really at a loss for a
counterargument for a while. Even though she was also one of those who
helped keep a check on Emmanuel, she wasn’t of the same view as Hannah.
She sincerely didn’t think Emmanuel was the kind of “Socialite Collector” that
Hannah described.
Neither did Mackenzie believe this. She and Emmanuel had spent three
months together, but this idiot never spent a penny of hers. He insisted on
paying back the money he borrowed from her; not only that, he even chose
to leave without taking anything from her as compensation in the event of a
divorce. I know better than anyone else whether he’s pretending to be a
decent guy! If he’s really pretending and is able to fool even me, I’ll have to
hand it to him.
“What’s the matter? What’s all the argument about?”
“Mackenzie, why don’t you dump that Emmanuel guy? You two are from
different backgrounds!”
“I think so, too. At first, I thought he was pretty nice, but he dared to actually
disrespect our family! Who the hell does he think he is?”
“Don’t accept anyone who doesn’t know their place! We already have a
precedent here!”
More and more of the Quillen family’s women came in, each expressing their
own views, acting as though they were guardians of Mackenzie’s love life.
“Shut up, all of you!” snapped a really annoyed Mackenzie. “You’re so noisy!”
With that, she returned to her room, leaving these women stunned for a
moment before they continued to argue endlessly in the living room.
Meanwhile, Hubert was sent back to the Verkade residence by the Quillen
family’s men.
“What happened? Where is Hubert? Is he okay?” asked Winona Zelinsky,
Hubert’s mother. She had just heard that something had happened to her
son. Before she could find out the details, the Verkade family’s servants
reported that Hubert had been sent home.
Hubert was lying on his stomach on the living room couch. Despite being a
man, he burst into tears of grievance as soon as he saw his mother. “Mom…
Mom!”
“What’s wrong, Hubert? What on earth happened to you?” Winona was only
relieved when she saw that her son was still in one piece. All her friends and
relatives had texted her just now, saying that her son was in great trouble or
that her son was really incredible. However, none of them let her in on the
details, and she was worried to death as a result.
Hubert sobbed like a baby with despair written all over his face. “Mom, I want
to die! I don’t want to live anymore…
Clasping him in her arms, Winona pressed his face to her bosom with loving
eyes. “Come on, son, be good and tell me what happened. Who bullied you?
I’ll stand up for you!”
Chapter 592
Winona was the daughter of the Zelinsky family of Zovince. After getting
married in Yeringham, she had two sons with William Verkade. The eldest
was Gautier, who had always been clever and steady and thus had never
been a source of worry for her. Hubert, on the other hand, was a Mommy’s
boy who spent his life drinking and partying. He couldn’t even clean up his
own mess after getting into trouble, so he had always needed his mother
and brother to look after him.
In the eyes of others, Gautier was the pride of the Verkade family, whereas
any mention of Hubert would be met with disdainful laughter from everyone.
Therefore, everyone a*sumed that her favorite son had to be the former.
Unbeknown to them, in the eyes of Winona, Gautier was indeed mature,
steady, and likable, but he rarely opened his heart to her. On the contrary,
Hubert was good for nothing, but he was the one in whom she invested ten
times more affection and energy. In reality, Hubert was her actual favorite
and the apple of her eye!
Hubert wailed in Winona’s arms, “Mom, I got violated by several men, and it
got live–streamed.., Ah! I don’t want to live anymore! How am I supposed to
go on living?!” Tonight’s experience was absolutely the darkest chapter of his
life! His body was aching all over, while his psychological wound burned
within him like a dark flame. I can never hold my head up high anymore!
“How did this happen? How dare the Quillens do this to my son! I… I’ll never let
them off for this, even if I’ll have to risk my own life!” Winona gnashed her
teeth in hatred, her eyes red, her body shaking with rage; her round breasts
trembled violently under her thin shirt. This was every mother’s normal
reaction to seeing their son being bullied.
“That’s right! We mustn’t let the Quillens off for this! I must kill Emmanuel with
my own hands!” Hubert’s eyes gradually became bloodshot as well. With
tears and snot all over his hideous face, he looked like an ugly demon from
the deepest pit of hell.
Gautier kept watching this scene in silence from a corner of the living room.
He didn’t step forward, nor did he intend to say anything to comfort his
brother. Instead, he kept an expressionless face and was about to leave. The
moment he turned around, however, he noticed a middle–aged man with a
mustache standing behind him. “Dad!” he called the man.
“Uh–huh.” William nodded slightly. Cloaked in a long overcoat, he had an
unfathomable deepness about him, like a lake of which one could never see
the bottom. He asked Gautier, “Didn’t you attend the party at the Quillen
residence with your brother today? How did something like this happen to
him?”
“I don’t know either!” A bitter smile curved Gautier’s lip. “The Quillens didn’t
seem to welcome us very much, so I left in a hurry after toasting them. But
Hubert kept on pestering Mackenzie after that, so he ended up like this.”
William frowned while keeping his eyes fixed on Gautier. After that, he walked
out with a sullen face to check on his younger son.
Only then did Gautier walk out after him.
At seeing William, Winona immediately pressured him. “William, you must
avenge Hubert no matter what! I can never swallow such humiliation!”
“I got it!” There was no room for William to refuse either. By doing this, the
Quillens had no doubt declared war against the Verkades on all fronts. Now
that his son had been subjected to such outrageous humiliation at the
Quillen residence, the Verkades would no longer have the face to establish
themselves in Yeringham if they just stood by and did nothing. “We, the
Verkades, must take revenge for this! Even if we can’t, we’ll destroy the
Quillen family along with us!” Then, he kicked the coffee table next to the
couch, knocking it over and sending it rolling continuously on the floor.
Gautier, however, remained expressionless. He knew very well that emotions
sometimes didn’t mean power. The Verkades had tried various ways to deal
with the Quillens and Mackenzie, even going so far as to send hitmen after
them several times. If those tactics had worked, the Verkades wouldn’t be still
being bullied by the Quillens until now.
Chapter 593
“Haha! Exciting! How exciting!” Quintus had been exclaiming in the car on their
way back to the Lenoir residence. After doing so for a while, he turned to look
at Emmanuel with eyes full of admiration. “This is great! Somebody should’ve
sorted out a b*stard like Hubert long ago. Just who was the one that actually
came up with such a brilliant idea? This is so mean, but I love it! Haha…”
After brewing for some time, Hubert’s live stream was now known almost
throughout Yeringham. Quintus had also watched a small part of it while
driving just now, and he couldn’t help having great fun out of it. He despised
Hubert and had always looked down on this love rival of his. In his opinion, it
simply made him less cool to court Mackenzie along with someone like this.
Unfortunately, given Hubert’s status and his family’s power and influence,
Quintus had been unable to do anything about this guy despite his dislike for
him; moreover, Hubert was considered a relative of the Lenoirs. Hence, it was
simply a great pleasure for him to watch Hubert being humiliated so
miserably now.
Emmanuel merely shrugged instead of answering. He had only intended to
give Hubert a warning, but he never expected Beatrix to go so over the top as
to actually have Hubert locked up in a room and live–streamed! Thanks to
that, he was now at a complete loss for words.
Quintus was just about to drive straight into the Lenoir residence when
Emmanuel suddenly yelled, “Stop the car!” He hurriedly hit the brakes. Before
the car even came to a complete stop, he found the man already standing
outside the car.
He also stepped out of the car while shouting with a laugh, “Haha! Your
movements are really incredible! As expected from the man who ranks first
in the list of people who most deserve to be beaten by me!”
Emmanuel had no time for nonsense with him, though. His eyes were fixed on
a luxury car parked in the garage of the Lenoir residence. There’s absolutely
no mistake about it! This car’s license plate is from Zovince! “Is Magnus
Zelinksy here again?” he asked in a grim voice.
Only then did Quintus get startled for a moment. He replied with a nod, “Yeah,
that’s his car indeed. Hey! Wait a minute-”
Before he could finish his sentence, Emmanuel barged right into the Lenoir
residence.
All Quintus could do was throw his hands up in resignation. This brat is so
disrespectful of me despite me being his number–one love rival! Did he get
this standoffish and rude temperament from Mackenzie?
In the blink of an eye, Emmanuel arrived at the Lenoir residence’s living room.
The house was heavily guarded, but no one dared to stop him tonight,
knowing that he was here to treat Claudette.
“Come out, Magnus! Come out here!” yelled Emmanuel furiously. I vowed to
avenge Mackenzie and Claudette before. I must keep my word!
“Dr. Lowe, please stop yelling at the Lenoir residence.” The Lenoir residence’s
new butler soon had the living room surrounded by the family’s guards.
Emmanuel turned a deaf ear to his warning, though. He kept on yelling, “Don’t
hide anymore, Magnus! You can’t hide from me!”
The butler was well aware of Emmanuel’s identity and status. Without his
master’s instructions, he dared not do anything to the man, so he had no
choice but to send someone to inform Adolph what had happened.
A moment later, Magnus showed up instead of Adolph. This time, he was
accompanied by a young lady, whose tight–fitting blue yoga wear showed
off the soft curves of her body completely. She had a vest on, and her hair
was tied in a ponytail. Her heart–shaped face gave the impression of a neat
and capable woman, and her eyes had a chilly gleam to them.
“Magnus Zelinsky! Showing up at last, eh?” Emmanuel wanted to take
Magnus‘ life right away. He didn’t care about the man’s status at all!
However, Magnus‘ lips were still curved in a smile. He showed no fear in the
slightest.
“Humph! What a hothead who overreaches himself!” the young lady in
tight–fitting clothes uttered icily before pushing Emmanuel back with a kick
right away.
She’s so fast! Emmanuel stepped back, his eyes still fixed on Magnus.
Only now did Quintus come in. “Ho! Here’s a drama as soon as I come in,
huh?” As the only member of the Lenoir family present at the scene, not only
did he not intend to take sides or stop the fight, but he even stood by and
looked on with great interest.
Chapter 594
“So, you’re Emmanuel Lowe?” The lady looked at Emmanuel with eyes full of
contempt. She didn’t give a damn about him at all.
Emmanuel replied indifferently, “So what if I am?” Since this woman knows
about me, she must know that I have previously fought Magnus‘ three most
formidable henchmen and killed Casper. And yet, she actually still looks so
arrogant. Just what is she capable of?
“Humph! A piece of trash like you who uses women as a shield doesn’t
deserve to be a match for Magnus the Genius!” said the lady in disdain. “I’ll
beat you within three moves! That’s the price you’ll pay for your conceit!”
“Gasp!” Quintus let out a gasp. Who is the conceited one here, Emmanuel or
this lady? Well, it was partly on purpose that I lost to Emmanuel last time. But
if she could beat him within three moves, it’d mean that not even I am a
match for her. How arrogant of her to say this!
“Is that so? I’d like to see what a person who can beat me within three moves
looks like!” retorted Emmanuel.
The lady let out a sneer. Immediately, she jumped high up in the air at great
speed, moving with several times more agility than Quinn!
Not wanting to be on the defensive, Emmanuel took the initiative to swing a
punch at her!
However, the lady’s movements were more flexible than he imagined.
Dodging his fist instantly in midair, she moved her hips to turn her legs 90
degrees clockwise and scissor them around his neck in an attempt to lock
him in a chokehold!
Emmanuel had a military background, so he was no stranger to such close
combat techniques. That being said, it was true that this was his first time
seeing someone do this so proficiently. He hurriedly rolled over and threw
himself to the ground to weaken his opponent’s hold on his throat.
The lady continued to use her flexibility to her advantage. Her legs were still
tightly wrapped around Emmanuel, but she moved her supple upper body,
seizing the opportunity to grab his right arm and twist it in front of her chest.
“Wow!” Quintus exclaimed at once. First of all, he thought no ordinary people
could make these moves as this lady did; secondly, he envied Emmanuel for
his luck. It must feel comfortable to be locked in such a move! To have the
scent of this lady a*sailing his nostrils and his arm placed on her soft breasts,
it must feel wonderful!
The lady’s red lips curled into a proud smirk. “What a piece of junk! I’ve made
only two moves now!”
Magnus also had a faint smile on his face. Blue Rose fares way better than
Mr. Quinn when it comes to actual combat!
“I admit that you’re indeed a skilled fighter!” said Emmanuel, staring at Blue
Rose with not the slightest hint of panic or loss of focus in his eyes.
The smile on Blue Rose’s face froze right away.
All of a sudden, Emmanuel clenched his fists, and his muscles tensed up. He
continued loudly, “So what about it? You don’t even know how to overwhelm
your opponent with absolute strength! You’re destined to be no more than a
mediocre fighter! Ha!” With that, he raised his arm directly, throwing Blue
Rose’s whole body to the other side of the room!
Everyone at the scene was stunned. What kind of monstrous strength is this?
Quintus‘ mouth gaped open in amazement. This brat’s fighting skills have
improved a lot compared to last time!
Magnus‘ smile vanished.
In an instant, Blue Rose’s eyes flickered with panic. In her fighting career, she
had never encountered such an opponent who could forcibly break free with
sheer strength despite being put in a chokehold!
Bam! Just then, Emmanuel smashed his arms into the floor with a loud crash,
forming a large hollow in the hard floor!
Blue Rose swiftly fled in the nick of time. However, the tremendous inertia
caused her to stagger. Stepping back repeatedly, she ended up bumping
against the pillar in the living room.
-Before she could come to her senses, a large hand grabbed her by the
throat. Lifting her with one hand, Emmanuel asked in a cold voice, “Is this your
third move?”
Chapter 595
Blue Rose struggled hard, but it was in vain!
Under the immense power gap, all her other advantages amounted to
nothing.
Moreover, she didn’t have an absolute advantage over Emmanuel in any
other aspect apart from her physical flexibility.
She lost!
She lost her dignity and it was even more painful than the pain on her body!
Emmanuel didn’t slap her, yet she felt a burning pain on her cheek.
She had boasted about defeating him in just three moves, but in the end, it
was she who was defeated in three moves!
“I don’t fight with women who have no grudges against me. Get lost!”
He casually threw Blue Rose aside.
She landed unsteadily in a miserable state!
“Haha! This guy really doesn’t know how to cherish a beauty!”
Quintus couldn’t help but feel delighted when he saw Emmanuel’s victory.
Blue Rose was too arrogant just now!
If Emmanuel had truly been defeated by her in three moves, what would that
make him then?
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The whole place fell silent, except for Magnus applauding as he walked
toward Emmanuel.
“Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?”
Emmanuel was very displeased with Magnus‘ behavior and his eyes were
filled with an even stronger killing intent.
“Whether you dare or not, I won’t bet on it, but you can’t kill me here tonight!”
Magnus‘ eyes were full of confidence.
His confidence made Emmanuel extremely disgusted and repulsed.
However, Magnus was right. There were already guns pointed at Emmanuel
from all around, and if he dared to harm Magnus, the Lenoir family, as the
host, would have to take responsibility for Magnus‘ safety.
“Blue Rose was right. You are truly unworthy of being my opponent!”
Magnus‘ words were provocative, but his expression showed no sign of
provocation.
He was simply stating an obvious fact.
He was recognized by the Chanaea’s saints as Magnus the Genius, and as
the young master of the Zelinsky family in Zovince, both his reputation and
family background was overwhelming compared to Emmanuel, who was a
gra*sroots existence.
Emmanuel would never deserve to be his opponent.
However, Emmanuel had grown accustomed to the arrogance of his
enemies and had no intention of arguing back. After all, there had been quite
a few arrogant people who had died at his hands already!
“All of you, step aside. I want to have a private chat with him!” Magnus
suddenly gave the order.
“Mr. Magnus, that’s too dangerous—”
Blue Rose was greatly alarmed.
Quintus was also taken aback. Wasn’t Magnus looking for trouble by doing
this?
“Mr. Magnus, you are an honored guest of the Lenoir family. We must take
responsibility for your safety!”
The butler naturally couldn’t retreat.
“Don’t worry. Emmanuel won’t kill me.”
Magnus was incredibly confident.
The butler could only sigh and slowly lead the people from the Lenoir family
to retreat.
“Haha. You two can chat then! Bye!”
Quintus didn’t stay behind and linger. Besides, he knew very well that these
two men had become enemies because of his sister, not because of
Mackenzie:
In the end, Blue Rose could only leave as well. After all, she wouldn’t be able to
stop Emmanuel!
“Do you really think I won’t dare to kill you?” Emmanuel asked curiously, his
killing intent not diminishing.
“Why do you want to kill me?”
Chapter 596
Magnus asked with a smile, “Do we have a deadly feud? No, right? Killing me
would only bring endless disasters to you and the Quillen family, and what
benefit would you gain from it?”
Emmanuel was slightly stunned.
Claudette had regained her composure. It was true that he and Magnus
didn’t have a deadly feud.
However, something still felt off.
Magnus continued, “Emmanuel, what Blue Rose said earlier is correct.
Although you possess some intelligence, you are still a brute! You think of the
world too simply. You don’t realize that there is no absolute justice and evil in
this world, nor are there unchanging relationships. You subconsciously treat
me as an enemy, but in reality, we don’t have a deadly feud! On the contrary,
“Partners?”
What trick did he have up his sleeve?
“1
horror.
Adolph was not present at the scene today, and Laura looked a bit hesitant.
