Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1165 Can I Try?
Then, she swept her haughty gaze across everyone before landing smugly on Beatrix, who was feeling a mix of emotions,
mostly nervousness.
Lo and behold, the machinery emitted a sizzling sound, making one’s scalps tingle.
“Oh no, this is the prelude to failure!” a researcher immediately exclaimed.
“Lara, shut down the equipment now!” Mackenzie promptly ordered.
7-
Proud and wholly confident seconds ago, Lara was now caught off guard by the unexpected. However, she was still reluctant to
stop when the results had yet to come out.
As she hesitated, the storage container burst open with a boom.
“Ah!” Lara screamed, watching the explosive fragments flying toward her.
Just when she thought she was doomed, a figure quickly tackled her to the ground, saving her from harm.
“Emmanuel?!” Mackenzie involuntarily exclaimed, hurrying over.
“Lara!”
“Lara, are you okay!”
The older Quillen ladies also hurried forward. Terence, too, went to inquire about the situation with the support of
his cane.
Fortunately, Emmanuel tackled Lara in time, preventing her from getting hurt.
However, Lara didn’t even say thank you. She quickly got up, stared at the burst container with wide eyes, and exclaimed in
confusion, “Why... Pourquoi?!”

Seeing Lara in her current state, Beatrix couldn’t help but chuckle. If she took a picture of Lara’s current appearance, it would
surely ward off evil spirits if hung on the wall.
Everyone wore a disappointed expression. The older Quillen ladies sighed, expressing a transition from hope to disappointment
for Lara.
In the eyes of their elders, Lara was a genius in this field, a potential future star of the Quillen family who deserved special
attention. Yet, it had come to this....
“Mackenzie, how about I give it a try? I might know where the problem lies,” Emmanuel volunteered suddenly.
“What?!” the older Quillen ladies exclaimed immediately.

Beatrix was equally surprised. She had no idea her brother-in-law had such abilities.
Even Mackenzie was clueless about this. However, she didn’t express as much surprise as others. Instead, she looked at
Emmanuel and asked seriously, “Are you really sure about this?”
Emmanuel nodded.
The older Quillen ladies exchanged glances.
Lara immediately scoffed, “Huh, don’t pretend! How can you possibly succeed when even I failed to understand something so
profound?! Forget it. You won’t succeed. Don’t try your luck!”
Emmanuel didn’t respond.
Instead, Beatrix retorted, “What, you’re allowed to try your luck and fail, but others aren’t allowed to try their luck
and succeed?!”
“Beatrix! I’ve tolerated you long enough!” Lara, talented in academics but emotionally immature, could easily be provoked to
anger. She roared while rushing toward Beatrix “You have no skills yourself, always envious of me! Always wanting to see me
fail! I’ll show you who’s boss!”

“I was just speaking the truth. Was I wrong?”
The cousins refused to back down.
“Enough!” Terence roared.
Mackenzie, who had intended to speak up to halt the bickering, no longer needed to.
Everyone turned their attention to Terence, who let out a long sigh, his eyes unable to hide the disappointment in Lara. He had
believed she was talented in this field, but to his dismay, she failed. Failing in research experiments
was not a big deal; after all, the key to success was failure. However, her subsequent response to setbacks was
regrettable.
“Emmanuel, you give it a try,” Terence continued.
What?! The older Quillen ladies were surprised.
The other researchers were also quite astonished. Isn’t Emmanuel just Ms. Quillen’s driver and the Deputy Director of the
Commerce Department? Does he really know what all this is?
“Okay!” Emmanuel didn’t dawdle. With Terence’s permission, he immediately replaced the storage container.
Lara deliberately behaved as if scared and quickly fled the testing area.
“Hmph, Beatrix is right about one thing-I don’t want to die because of your failure!”
