Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 408
Alessandra responded anxiously, “I heard it was self-defense, but now he has
disappeared! It was as if he had vanished into thin air!”
“How could it be?” Roselynn shared the same nervousness, unable to believe
that her typically honest and upright younger brother would commit such an
act.
Could there have been some kind of misunderstanding?
“I don’t have the details either!” Alessandra hurriedly added, “Roselynn, should
we go to the police station and ask around? I’m not quite educated, so we’ll
rely on you and Jaxton to talk to them.”
Before Roselynn could respond, Jaxton immediately interjected, “Mother, it’s
best not to do that! Murder is a serious offense, and if the police haven’t
contacted you, we’ll only make fools of ourselves if we intrude without
permission.”
Jack’s wife, Alina, chimed in swiftly as well, “Exactly! But I heard that
Emmanuel’s wife is a really capable person. Let her save Emmanuel!”
Those words were rather a sarcastic remark than an actual suggestion.
Jack promptly responded, “Oh, Alina, you don’t know anything, so please don’t
speak without thinking! Emmanuel and his wife are divorced, so she probably
won’t care!”

“Is that true?” Alina pretended to be surprised. “Why wasn’t I told about this?”
Roselynn’s murderous intent rose as she observed the couple’s exchange. As
she was a witness to Jack’s growth since childhood, she naturally understood
his character. He was always fond of boasting about his accomplishments,
trying his hardest to outshine his two cousins. So, when he learned that
Emmanuel had married a wealthy and beautiful woman, immediately
casting a large shadow on him, of course, he felt displeased.
Is the reason for their invitation today to gloat over our misfortune?
“Roselynn, why would Emmanuel be so foolish as to divorce Ms. Quillen?”
Jaxton feigned regret but was truly dancing with joy. He had a better
understanding of Mackenzie’s true identity than Jack’s family; she wasn’t just
any typical beautiful and wealthy woman but the eldest daughter of
Yeringham’s most affluent family!
He wouldn’t dare to do anything to Roselynn as long as Mackenzie and
Emmanuel remained married. He had even been exceptionally obedient to
his wife during this period! If it was confirmed today that they were divorced
and Emmanuel was imprisoned for murder, then he could start handling
Roselynn and crush her arrogant demeanor!
He noticed that she hadn’t greeted his parents these past few days and
hadn’t shared the same bedroom with him despite the fact that they had

been married for a while. It was frankly utterly unreasonable of her to forgo
her duties as his wife. Today, he had made up his mind to force her on the
bed and teach her how to be a proper wife when they returned home later!
“I’m not entirely clear about the details of such matters! I only know that my
younger brother did sign the divorce agreement and left without any
belongings!” Roselynn honestly replied, unaware of Jaxton’s thoughts.
Jaxton’s eyes brightened upon hearing this.
“Ah, how can I desqribe Manny? He’s even more foolish than a pig!” Jack
expressed his heartfelt disappointment. “Considering his unfavorable
circumstances, he should have clung to his beautiful and wealthy wife. How
could he get a divorce just like that? Even if he wanted a divorce, he should
have taken a substantial sum of money from her, right? Don’t you all agree?”
Jack looked at Alessandra after directing that question to everyone else in
the family. Meanwhile, the woman’s eyes flickered as she was unsure of how
to respond.
“Jack, are you here to gloat? It’s up to Manny on how he wants his marriage
to go, and it’s none of your business to make such sarcastic remarks!”
Roselynn couldn’t help but retort angrily.
“Rosie, how could you say that?! Manny is truly foolish, so why can’t we
comment on it?”

“Exactly! When did your family become so superior?” Jack and his wife joined
forces and started reprimanding her.
Since Roselynn was at a disadvantage in arguing against the two of them,
she quickly signaled Jaxton with her eyes. Why won’t you come and help your
wife for a moment?
To her surprise, Jaxton not only failed to support her, but he also dragged her
down like an anchor, saying, “Roselynn, they’re right! Emmanuel is indeed as
foolish as a pig, and now he has even committed murder! We should draw
clear boundaries with him quickly!”
Roselynn’s face turned red with fury as she snarled, “Jaxton, how could you
say such a thing?! Let go of me now!”
Alas, he didn’t heed her words. He tightened his hold on her instead of
releasing her, attempting to pull her away. His stubborn male ego took over
thinking that even though he might not be as tall as her, men were ultimately
physically stronger than women. He didn’t believe she could resist him. So, he
didn’t expect her to retaliate by brutally stepping on his foot.
the ground.
“Mom! Mom!” Roselynn hastily rushed to help Alessandra, only to discover
that her mother had suffered a significant fall. Her wrist was already swollen
due to the fall.

“Jaxton, you b*stard! I won’t let you get away with this!” Rage consumed
Roselynn as she pounced on Jaxton, ready to engage in a fight.
On the other hand, Jaxton had kept his true nature hidden for so long, so he
always desired to show his authority over this woman. Thus, he saw this as
the perfect opportunity to display his prowess! Little did he anticipate that
Roselynn possessed far superior abilities than an average woman. Therefore,
she merely had to deliver a forceful knee strike to his lower abdomen,
momentarily incapacitating him.
When Jack’s family witnessed this spectacle, they were left dumbfounded.
Just how pathetic can a man be to not be able to even defeat his own wife?
“F*ck!” Consumed by anger and embarrassment, Jaxton attempted to
stagger to his feet and engage in another physical confrontation with
Jazz World
Roselynn. Unfortunately, at that precise moment, a sudden knock on the door
shattered his momentum.
“Is anyone there? We’re here to deliver a letter!” A voice called from outside.
Letter? Everyone in the room was astonished. What era was this? Who still
sends letters?
Since the door was unlocked and hadn’t been opened after some time, the
person outside decided to give it a try and pushed it open.

Two men dressed in suits stood before them with sharp eyes that exuded a
commanding presence. When they swept their gaze across the crowded
room, the two men confidently stepped inside and got straight to the point,
asking, “We’re delivering a letter on behalf of Emmanuel! Who is his mother?”
“I-I’m the one!” Alessandra was also quite surprised upon hearing that it was
a letter from her son and quickly responded once she came back to her
senses.
The others were equally taken aback. Isn’t Emmanuel in prison for murder?
How is it possible for him to have someone deliver a letter?
Regrettably, when Roselynn inquired about their identities, the two men
simply walked away without a response! They were members of the Wolf
Warrior Society, who were instructed by Eve to assist with the letter delivery
and were not allowed to expose their identity.
Mom, I’m doing well, no need to worry! I’ll be away for some time!
The letter’s contents were brief, but it was clearly written by Emmanuel.
“Mom, that’s wonderful! It appears that Manny is fine!” Roselynn’s cold gaze
fell sharply on Jaxton after consoling Alessandra.
He couldn’t help but tremble under her fiery gaze, overwhelmed by guilt. He
was well aware of Emmanuel’s combat prowess; if Emmanuel hadn’t been
imprisoned and discovered that he had injured his mother, would he be

driven to kill him in a fit of rage?
Since he had already taken a life, so adding one more wouldn’t make a
difference to him, right? The mere thought of it made him feel uneasy!
