Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1288 Admiration
Unexpectedly, Mackenzie’s jade finger was about to press down!
Stone was frightened and quickly pushed her away before taking a step back.
“Ms. Quillen, please don’t act recklessly!”
At the critical moment, a melodious voice sounded.
The door was suddenly kicked open, and a black figure rushed toward Stone!
Was it Emmanuel?
.61@
With this unrealistic thought, Mackenzie didn’t press the detonation button after all. She believed that the other party had come to
save her.
But when she saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, she was disappointed.
It turned out to be Blake!
“D*mn it! I hate scum like you who take advantage of women through force and play with them without any skil!!”
After knocking Stone down, Blake stepped on his tools and spat at him.

He had been with many women, but it was all consensual! The night he captured Saintess, he also wanted to develop feelings
with her slowly. If he wanted to take advantage of her, he could have done it multiple times that night!
“Ms. Quillen, life is precious. Your husband is still waiting for you to go back. If you die, how sad will he be? And what about your
family and Terence Group? What will happen to them?”
Hattie stood at the door while persuading Mackenzie not to take her own life.
She seemed genuinely concerned!
Mackenzie looked at her and sneered. “Ms. Zelinsky, you’re afraid that if I die, you won’t get the Heart of the Sun and that you
won’t be able to bear the wrath of Emmanuel and the Quillen family, right?”
“Think whatever you want.”
Hattie didn’t explain or refute. She simply said calmly, “When you’re dead, you have nothing, right? Think about my brother, a
man who was so intelligent and held a position above everyone else, but after his death, he lost everything, too.”
“Ms. Quillen, you were once so influential that even I envied you. Isn’t it a pity to fall so low? Besides, don’t you still have many
grand visions in your heart? You haven’t given birth to a baby for the Quillen family and Emmanuel yet, have you? How
heartbroken would they be if you died?”
Her words indeed struck at Mackenzie’s weak spots.
Mackenzie could die for loyalty, but she didn’t want to die, and she certainly didn’t want to die with a single-minded desire for
death!

“Let’s talk. Perhaps we don’t have to be enemies.” Hattie extended an invitation and showed her sincerity and bargaining chips.
“Your driver’s name is Wally, right? He’s still alive.”
Her words indeed struck at Mackenzie’s weak spots.

“Your driver’s name is Wally, right? He’s still alive.”
When Mackenzie heard that Wally was alive, another weak spot was hit. Wally had been with her for so many years. He was
loyal and devoted. If there was a chance, she really wanted him to survive!
“Let’s go. The two of us women can perhaps have a heart-to-heart conversation.”
Hattie turned and walked away while exuding confidence and a calm demeanor like a majestic queen who believed that no one
would defy her will.
After some thought, Mackenzie finally took the detonator and followed Hattie.
Blake kicked Stone hard and spat on him. “You scum! Just wait until I tell your wife! You disgraceful piece of trash!”
With that, he left.
They kidnapped Mackenzie for a grand plan, but all the chaos caused by Stone made them look like a gang of bandits,
tarnishing the reputation of the Zelinsky family and Hattie herself.
Soon, Mackenzie and Hattie were alone in a room.
There were no bodyguards around, only Blake and Dominique guarding the door.
Mackenzie was surprised. What was Hattie trying to do? Wasn’t Hattie afraid of any harm coming to her in this room alone with
Mackenzie?
Could Hattie really be a formidable fighter and pose a threat to her, given Hattie’s weak and sickly body?

“Ms. Quillen, I truly admire and envy you,” Hattie said before turning away from Mackenzie.
“You admire and envy me?” Mackenzie raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “If anyone else said that, I wouldn’t doubt it, but for the
esteemed Ms. Zelinsky, one of the Four Beauties of Zovince, to express such sentiments, isn’t it a bit... contradictory? When it
comes to wealth, beauty, family background, and even youth, what makes you inferior to me?”
After all, these were the factors that could lead one woman to admire and envy another.
Hattie turned around while smiling at Mackenzie without a trace of hostility. No one could tell that these two were kidnappers and
victims; they might even think they were a pair of best friends with good looks.
