Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 150
That night, Mackenzie did not have Emmanuel pick her up from work as she
had to attend a social event for business.
The driver, Wally, was approaching the entrance of the residential area in the
Bentley when he spotted Emmanuel standing by the gates. He hastily
slammed on the brakes.

There were lights at the entrance of the residential area, but the
surroundings were dark. For that reason, they could see Emmanuel and
Ryder, but Emmanuel might not necessarily have a clear view of them.
That was doubly true since the man was talking to Ryder.
“Mr. Lowe is at the gates, Ms. Quillen!” Wally reported, awaiting further
instructions.
It was only then that Mackenzie lifted her eyes. When she saw Emmanuel
discussing something emotionally with his cousin, she promptly ordered, “All
right, I’ll be getting down here. Just drive the car back.”
“Understood, Ms. Quillen!”
Upon receiving his orders, Wally instantly drove off and disappeared from
sight.
Mackenzie closed the distance before stepping forward to eavesdrop on the

two men’s conversation.
“What’s your decision, then, Ryder? My suggestion is to never agree to that
demand. Otherwise, it’d be exceedingly difficult for you to get Robby to leave
your house in the future!”
Emmanuel was already being very much polite in his speech. If it were
someone with an explosive temper, that person would have likely roared,
“Have that brat, Robby, buzz off!”
“I don’t want to agree either, but Abellyn said it’d mean I don’t respect her
family, and she’d leave the house immediately. On top of that, she even
threatened to get a divorce!”
Despite despising Abellyn greatly, he still could not accept getting a divorce
when it was such a huge issue. Furthermore, he was afraid that it would
affect Tommy’s life.
That left Emmanuel without a retort.

If he were in Ryder’s shoes, he would undoubtedly part ways with Abellyn.
Alas, Tommy had to be taken into consideration as well.
At the end of the day, a broken family is detrimental to a child’s growth.
“How could something so absurd happen?” Mackenzie interjected, strolling
up to them without warning when she could not stand hearing it anymore.

She wore an icy expression on her face, rendering her aura even more
oppressive.
“Ms. Quillen!” Ryder hurriedly greeted.
“Ms-” Emmanuel was about to address her in the same manner when he
remembered that his cousin was still there. “Mackenzie, you’re back?”
Mackenzie shot him a glare. Emmanuel flashed her an apologetic smile as
Open
though he had done something wrong.
Ignoring him, Mackenzie said to Ryder coldly, “Did you marry Abellyn or her
sister? Why are you indulging her when they’re obviously being
unreasonable? If you were to compromise, believe it or not, they’d demand
even more in the future.”
An epiphany dawned upon the two men.
Emmanuel similarly felt that his cousin should confront Abellyn in such a
manner.
Meanwhile, a light bulb went off in Ryder’s head. He felt that Mackenzie had
given voice to his sentiments.
Acting like his superior, Mackenzie continued lecturing, “Your responsibility is
to support your own family, not your wife’s family. Don’t be as stupid as
Emmanuel!”

“Me?”
Emmanuel pointed at himself in shock. Huh? Why did I get dragged into this
for no reason?
Sweeping a gaze over him, Mackenzie stepped into the residential area.
Ryder, who initially looked utterly depressed, felt as if he had been injected
with strength after listening to her words.
“Ms. Quillen is totally right! I’ll tell Abellyn that when I go home. What nerve!
Who exactly does she regard as her family? And who is more important to
her? Above all, who does she want to spend the rest of her life with?”
Hearing that, Emmanuel breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his cousin on the
shoulder in agreement.
Ryder climbed onto his electric bike. Before leaving, he said, “I forgot to thank
Ms. Quillen just now, Manny. Remember to thank her on my behalf when you
go back.”
“Got it, Ryder!”
