Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 832
Chapter 831
“Haha, well said!” Terence quickly applauded and gave Emmanuel a thumbs
up in his mind.
Looks like Mackenzie digs Emmanuel’s attitude. Either way, I’ve already told
Emmanuel everything I wanted to say earlier. If he doesn’t make a move and
get Mackenzie pregnant sooner, I’ll give him another piece of my mind!
“I don’t know, and I don’t care whether you got rich by relying on Mackenzie,
but either way, I have no intention of managing the clothing store anymore.
It’s not worth much now anyway, so consider it a gift from your
mother-in-law,” Felicity added generously.
Firstly, she enjoyed seeing the Quillen women deflated before her. Secondly,
since she reconciled with Mackenzie, she decided to take advantage of this
situation and give her son-in-law the a*set, believing it would further
improve her relationship with Mackenzie.
“Thank you, Mother, but since I said I would acquire it, I’ll pay you the money,”
Emmanuel insisted.
Felicity quirked her lips in response, obviously not liking his persistence.
“I’ll help you two handle this matter,” said Mackenzie, done going back and
forth about such trivial matters. Then, she turned to Samantha, who cared for
her the most, and tried to soothe her.
“Aunt Samantha, Felicity is still a member of the Quillen family. We don’t need
to fight amongst ourselves and become a laughingstock. She promised to be
on the same page as us, no longer sending the Quillen family’s a*sets away.
Let’s give her a chance, okay?”
Samantha didn’t know what to say for a moment. The enmity between her
and Felicity couldn’t be resolved with just a few words. However, because
Mackenzie interceded, she would give in. Thus, she remained silent.
Meanwhile, Hannah and Sophie turned their faces away, their attitudes
similar to Samantha’s. They might not believe Felicity, but they didn’t want to
confront Mackenzie head-on, especially with Terence present.
“It’s all decided, then!” Terence sealed the deal and turned to Felicity. “Felicity,
I won’t hold onto past grievances. I hope you can live well here with us.”
Felicity nodded slightly without a word.
“Sophie, let’s go!” Hannah turned around and left, taking Sophie with her.
Samantha, on the other hand, sighed and gently patted Mackenzie’s hand.
“Just be careful in everything you do, and be careful not to be deceived!”
Mackenzie knew what she meant and could only smile faintly. “I know.”
This feeling was truly unpleasant. One was her mother, and the other was her
husband, yet they couldn’t gain her other family members’ trust. How was
she supposed to mediate in between?!
“The way I see it, Mackenzie is becoming increasingly confused!”
“Terence Group’s management has become increasingly poor since she got
married.”
“Worst of all, she doesn’t listen to our advice. If this continues, our family will
eventually be in big trouble!”
“That’s right. Despicable rouges are in charge!”
Hannah and Sophie deliberately spoke aloud the things they dared not say in
front of Terence and Mackenzie as they left. Either way, their purpose was to
be heard.
As a result, Mackenzie’s mood worsened.
Emmanuel was upset as well. If the situation at Terence Group truly
deteriorated, he feared his marriage with Mackenzie wouldn’t hold up either.
Therefore, he had to help stabilize the situation for his wife…
The next day.
Rhea had officially started working at Beacon Hospital. Unfortunately for her,
though, her idol was no longer practicing there.
“Hey, Rhea, I heard a big shot is coming to our hospital today for a charity
event! Shall we go take a look?” A fellow nurse suddenly walked up to Rhea,
linking arms with her.
Chapter 832
Rhea was also curious. She had never heard of such a thing before, so she
decided to check it out.
When they arrived at the south gate, they found many reporters already
standing by at the entrance.
Rhea wondered how the reporters managed to find out about the news in
advance when even she, the hospital director’s daughter, received it at the
last minute.
Soon, Juan appeared with the hospital’s management team to welcome the
event, and a black Corolla slowly pulled up to the entrance right on time.
“Wow, Mr. Magnus is really low-key!”
“Who’d have thought the heir of a trillion-dollar family would drive such a
car?!”
“If we hadn’t received insider information beforehand, we wouldn’t have
known he was coming to Yeringham for charity!”
“Now, that’s a true philanthropist!”
People at the entrance chattered. However, Rhea felt a little disgusted. Do
you people think you’ll receive news in advance if Mr. Magnus wants to do
charity anonymously?
Just then, the Corolla’s door opened, and three people stepped out: Magnus,
Blake, and Gautier.
At that, a swarm of reporters immediately flocked to them, surrounding the
trio.
“Mr. Magnus, it’s rumored that you do charity wherever you go. Is that true?”
“Are you here in Yeringham for charity or Miss Claudette Lenoir?”
Faced with the barrage of questions, Magnus maintained a gentle smile, yet
he didn’t answer any questions.
“Sorry, Mr. Magnus isn’t here for a press conference. Please refrain from taking
photos or conducting interviews!” Mackenzie spread his arms and blocked
the reporters.
As a result, the attention turned to Gautier.
“Mr. Verkade, your father is a great philanthropist in Yeringham while you
haven’t been very involved in charity work. Are you planning to inherit his
legacy?”
Gautier’s handsome face immediately lit up with a charming smile as he
replied, “I’m here today to accompany Mr. Magnus. That said, the Verkade
family will never give up on charity, no matter when. Thank you!”
Suddenly, thunderous applause erupted, and the camera flashes went off.
Gautier, too, was aware that he would be making headlines in Yeringham
news the next day.
In comparison, Mackenzie was probably already overwhelmed by Terence
-Group’s matters. Looks like, soon, only one of the two CEOS of Yeringham will
remain.
After the reporters had their moment, the hospital security finally took action
and expelled them.
As the hospital director, Juan warmly received Magnus and his companions,
leading them inside the hospital to visit some patients.
Rhea followed along.
Watching Magnus’ gentle demeanor as he mingled with the hospital’s
patients, showing generosity by a*sisting with medical expenses, Rhea was
surprised. Due to her favorable impression of Emmanuel, she had inquired
about the affairs of the Lenoir residence.
She had heard that Magnus was Claudette’s admirer and Emmanuel’s rival.
She used to think that if Emmanuel were a protagonist in a novel, then
Magnus, as the heir, would surely be an arrogant and unlikable antagonist.
However, upon meeting him today, he appeared so gentle and kind.
Could she have been mistaken?
“I really wish my parents could be with me all the time.”
ON
arms.
Due to their family’s poverty, the girl’s parents worked out of town and barely
visited their daughter once a month. Only her grandmother came to take
care of her.
Rhea also sympathized with the little girl’s situation but felt helpless due to
her limited abilities.
Unexpectedly, Magnus immediately displayed a warm and sincere smile
after hearing the little girl’s wish and said, “Alright, I will make your wish come
true!”
Chapter 833
With a phone call from Magnus, the girl’s parents were granted paid leave
and rushed to Beacon Hospital. Not only that, but Magnus also handed the
girl a check, encouraging her, “Don’t give up. You’ll overcome this illness
eventually!”
“Thank you, mister…” the little girl bawled.
Witnesses inside and outside the ward were moved to tears and applauded
wholeheartedly.
Rhea was no exception.
She couldn’t tell if Magnus was sincere or pretending, but he had indeed
performed a great act of kindness. If the little girl could survive, she would
remember this man for her entire life.
After helping the little girl, Magnus soon left the ward.
“Everyone, Mr. Magnus prefers to stay low-key. Please don’t follow him
anymore!” Blake extended his hand to stop the hospital staff.
However, many wished to continue following Magnus, thinking of him as the
fairy tale prince bathing in the holy light. Even the imposing CEO of the
Verkade family seemed slightly overshadowed in his presence.
Rhea felt the same way, but ultimately, like everyone else, she decided to
respect Magnus’ wish and didn’t continue following him.
In one of the wards, Jessica was keeping vigil by her hospitalized younger
brother’s side when she heard the commotion outside and learned that
Magnus, one of the Zovince’s Four Geniuses, had arrived.
Immediately, she called her father, believing their family wouldn’t need to
worry about the Quillens’ influence anymore if they could connect with a big
shot like Magnus!
Afterward, Jessica searched everywhere for Magnus.
She had already seen people posting his pictures on social media.
While Magnus wasn’t exceedingly handsome, his aristocratic air made him
resemble a prince from a fairy tale.
Alas, she failed to encounter Magnus even after searching nearly the entire
hospital.
Peering through a window, she spotted the black Corolla and decided to wait
there. To her surprise, Magnus and Blake approached her direction just as
she had begun waiting by the car.
As for Gautier, he had already left.
Seeing the real person and comparing him to Blake, Magnus appeared to be
an astonishingly handsome man in Jessica’s eyes.
“Mr. Magnus!” Jessica ran toward Magnus excitedly.
“May I ask who you are, beautiful lady?” True to the rumors of his gentlemanly
demeanor, Magnus remained polite even when facing an unfamiliar woman.
“I… I’m Jessica Oatley. I admire you greatly and want to get to know you!”
Jessica expressed her intentions as she gasped for breath. Her usual
haughty demeanor turned humble in front of Magnus.
With his hands behind his head and a blade of gra*s in his mouth, Blake
chuckled while silently watching the scene unfold, thinking Magnus was
indeed skilled at playing this game.
He had come to do charity work at Beacon Hospital that day not only to
shape his image and get close to the Oatleys but also to use them to defeat
the Quillens.
He could have the Oatleys come to him without approaching them, and to
his surprise, Magnus even attempted to lure Jessica. “That would be my
honor, Miss Oatley. Goodbye.”
“No!”
In a moment of desperation, Jessica grabbed Magnus’ hand, making him.
frown slightly in response. Still, his tone remained gentle. “What is the
meaning of this, Ms. Oatley?”
At that, Jessica bit her lip and blurted out in desperation, “You’ve come to do
charity, right? Can you also help my brother?”
Chapter 834
A faint curve appeared at the corner of Magnus’ lips, but he quickly feigned
reluctance.
Blake also approached and gently pushed Jessica aside. “Hey, don’t be so
shameless. Mr. Magnus is very busy!”
Having conducted an investigation, Magnus was well aware of Jessica’s
personality, which belonged to the conniving type. As expected, she
collapsed to the ground calculatedly, letting out a high-pitched scream to
elicit sympathy.
“Ms. Oatley, are you alright?” Magnus quickly approached Jessica before
reprimanding Blake, “How can you be so rude to a woman?!”
Blake snorted, then walked away with his hands behind his head.
“Please help our family, Mr. Magnus, I beg of you! We’re in a miserable
situation!” Jessica quickly seized the opportunity and held Magnus’ hand
tightly.
“Well… alright!” Magnus pretended to hesitate before agreeing. “To express
my apology, I will do my best!”
On the other hand, Jessica cheered triumphantly inside while feigning a
pitiful expression on the surface. After all, all the members of the Oatley
family would commend her in the future for successfully hooking up with one
of Zovince’s Four Geniuses!
Little did she know, Blake, observing her demeanor closely, secretly mocked,
Women are so easily fooled!
An hour later, Sebastian pushed aside all his commitments and hurriedly
arrived at the hospital with Jennifer. They went straight to their son’s private
room.
Upon seeing the esteemed Magnus Zelinsky, Sebastian approached
excitedly and shook hands with the young man, displaying a respectful and
deferential demeanor.
“Dad, Mr. Magnus is here at the hospital for charity. I’ve already told him
about Jaxton’s situation. He sympathizes with him and says he will help us!”
152
While speaking, Jessica winked at her father, clearly seeking recognition.
Earlier, she deliberately exaggerated how terrible Roselynn was and how
Mackenzie bullied them, depicting the two women as evil demons.
Sebastian naturally understood what his daughter was trying to express.
However, being a shrewd veteran, he remained somewhat cautious. “If you
don’t mind me asking, Mr. Magnus. How can you help us?” he asked politely.
Magnus smiled and replied, “Ms. Oatley has already given me the details. No
doubt Ms. Quillen bullied your family to control your business interests. You
won’t be under her control as long as you can break free from Terence Group
and find an alternative path. That way, you can seek justice for Mr. Jaxton
Oatley.”
Suddenly, Blake chimed in with a chuckle, “What’s the point for a man to
continue living when he has been emasculated? Sad, very sad!”
“Ah! I’m going to kill that woman! I want her dead! She deserves to die!”
Jaxton, lying on the hospital bed, broke down emotionally, his eyes bloodshot
as he screamed.
“Jaxton, calm down! Don’t be like this!” Jennifer burst into tears, seeing her
son in agony.
“Alas, a tragic tale of humanity!” Magnús also shook his head pitifully.
It was a group performance of each person trying to outdo the other, all
vying to be shameless.
“Dad, quickly discuss the details with Mr. Magnus! I worked so hard to bring
this opportunity here. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance!” Jessica quickly
whispered in her father’s ear.
Sebastian didn’t hesitate either and said to Magnus, “Thank you for your kind
offer, Mr. Magnus. However, our family’s business is small, and it may be
difficult for us to break free from Terence Group’s control.”
Magnus secretly sized the elder up; indeed, he wasn’t as easily manipulated
as Jessica.
Nevertheless, he remained confident and said, “Coincidentally, I know a friend
who is also in the energy business. If I introduce him, perhaps you could
collaborate, and the profits he offers might match those of Terence Group.”
Upon hearing that, Sebastian’s face lit up with a hopeful expression.
Chapter 835
“What are you doing, hesitating, Sebastian? Hurry and agree!” Jennifer
exclaimed with elation.
She had been holding back her frustration, unable to act out, for the past
couple of days because of her husband’s fear of the Quillen family’s
influence.
Now, blessed be, they had encountered one of the Zovince’s Four Geniuses
doing charity work at the hospital. They’d be utter fools if they didn’t seize the
opportunity to overthrow the Quillen family!
“Shut up!” Despite feeling tempted, Sebastian didn’t allow Jennifer to babble
Jennifer hit the roof, thinking her husband was a total pushover. She couldn’t
believe he was still afraid to confront the Quillens even at this point.
The Oatley siblings, too, felt the same way-their father’s image in their
hearts took a big hit.
Mr. Magnus, who is this friend you speak of?”
SK,
“The Lenoir Group!” Magnus smiled. “I’m close with the Lenoirs, who are also
prominent figures in the energy industry of Yeringham, as you’re probably
aware.”
“Ah, the Lenoir Group!” Despite having a moment of realization, Sebastian
wasn’t excited.
Lenoir Group was certainly a major corporation to the Oatleys. Still, its
strength was widely recognized to be inferior to the Quillens’.
From a business standpoint, even if the Lenoir Group offered them the same
terms as the Quillens, they would undoubtedly opt for cooperation with the
Quillen family.
“What do you think, Mr. Oatley?”
Magnus couldn’t appear overly enthusiastic since he was there for charity
work and was only helping out as an apology to Jessica. Now that Sebastian
excessive edgerness could backfire and arouse
suspicions of impure motives.
“Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Magnus. Can you allow me three days to
consider?”
“What?!”
Upon hearing Sebastian’s hesitation and his intention to consider, his family
exclaimed in shock. They couldn’t believe he hesitated at the extraordinary
opportunity.
“Very well then.” Magnus turned and walked away.
“Wait, Mr. Magnus!” Jessica hurriedly approached, taking the chance to say,
“Please leave your contact information. Once my father makes a decision,
we’ll get in touch with you immediately!”
Magnus nodded, then had Blake provide her with the contact details before
leaving the hospital.
“Sebastian Oatley, you coward! What on earth are you thinking?!” Jennifer
immediately launched into a furious tirade against her husband as soon as
Magnus left. “Is making a little extra money so important to you? Are you not
going to avenge your son? What are you, a slave to money?! Are you
planning to let money be there for you till the end?”
A string of accusations left Sebastian with a darkened expression. Yet, he
didn’t respond in kind, just giving a cold snort. “Hmph! A woman’s
perspective!” Then, he left the ward.
Jennifer and their kids might be clueless, but how could he, a 30-year
veteran in the business world, not know what Magnus had in mind?
Would the genius be compa*sionate enough to do charity work for their
family?! If anything, they were just pawns at his disposal!
Once they served their purpose of being used against the Quillens, they
would surely be discarded.
Sure, Sebastian was driven by his desire for profit, but he was always aware
that without a strong connection, not even family ties, relationships in the
business world were fickle.
Furthermore, he didn’t believe that the Quillen family would collapse just
because they withdrew. On the contrary, they might truly face a catastrophe
if they angered the Quillens.
“Mom, what should we do now?” Jaxton frantically grasped his own hair in the
ward, full of regret to the point of wanting to tear it out.
Not only had he failed to teach his wife a lesson, but his wife even castrated
