Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 450
“Haha! Of course, it’s true. Emmanuel has been fired, and he is jobless at the
moment. Serves him right!” Darren sent a voice message to Milani in an
excited manner.
Milani was gloating at his misfortune as well. Previously, when Emmanuel won
the favor of the Lenoir family, he became the project leader and even drove
a Maserati! However, look at the dire straits he was in now! It seemed that his
plan of currying favors with them had gone up in flames. It wasn’t destined to
last long.
Both of them chatted for quite some time. If Milani had not found herself
another man, they might have been able to rekindle their old romance.
On the other hand, General Lenoir had a dark look on his face as he sat inside
the Rolls-Royce.
As a high-ranking general, he radiated a sinister, terrifying aura that no
ordinary people would dare look at directly.
Laura was the only woman who could control such a man. With a tender
smile on her face, she held his muscular arms gently as her soft, curvaceous
body slowly dispelled the heat of his anger. Naturally, an experienced woman
like her was good at handling the situation.
She would not go out of the way to seduce a man. She would keep her body

at a certain distance, neither near nor far, just enough for a man to be
interested.
In short, she was a vixen!
She was aware of the true nature of men. She knew that in order to keep a
man interested, she had to give them what they wanted yet deny them the
satisfaction of owning her completely. Only when you were able to balance
the scales properly, would a man completely submit himself to you.
Otherwise, women were merely passing mirages to them. Once a man got
tired of your body, no matter how gorgeous you were, you would not be able
to move his heart.
“General Lenoir, it seems that Emmanuel had some kind of charm about him.
Not only was our daughter bewitched by him, but even the Quillen family is
also so protective of him!” Fueled by Laura’s words, General Lenoir’s temper
erupted like a volcano.
“Hmph! That b*stard murdered Claudette. Even the Quillen family wouldn’t be
able to protect him! I will make sure of that!”
General Lenoir radiated an air of dominance as he clenched his fists and
said, “If the Quillen family decides to make an enemy out of me because of
him, then the title of the richest family in Yeringham would soon change!”
Laura gazed at the man with admiration as she clasped her hands and said,

“General Lenoir, you truly are a man among men. If the Quillen family loses
the title of the richest family in Yeringham, who do you think would inherit
that title? Is it the Lenoir family or the Verkade family?”
As per his namesake, General Lenoir hailed from the Lenoir family, while Laura
hailed from the Verkade family.
No matter which family inherited that title, as long as it wasn’t the Quillen
family, they would stand to gain from it.
Yet, he did not respond to her sentence; instead, he remained silent. At the
moment, there was a sharp, domineering glint in his eyes.
After decades of toiling away, the Quillen family’s network encompassed a
wide area, which further solidified their position. Hence, even for a person of
rank such as himself, it would be hard to bring them to their knees.
However, he wasn’t a pushover. If the Quillen family decided to make an
enemy out of the Lenoir family because of some peasant, he would never
bow down to them out of fear, regardless of whether it was for his own ego or
his family’s interests.
He found it hard to believe that a powerful, ancient family would make an
enemy out of them just because of
a
commoner!

It was something that had never crossed his mind. It seemed that he had to
give this matter some more thought.

On the other side, Emmanuel had gotten inside Alfred’s car. However, he did
not know what the other party was up to.
After marrying Mackenzie. he had almost forgotten about his eighteenth
blind date. Naturally, he wasn’t aware that Milani still had her eyes on him.
All he could think of at the moment was how did he become the enemy of
the Lenoir family?!
He truly did not want to make an enemy out of them. That was because he
still owed Claudette his life!
“Emmanuel!” Alfred’s voice jolted him back to reality.
“Huh? What’s the matter?”
In reality, he still did not know Alfred’s actual identity. He merely knew that he
was from the Quillen family.
Now that he knew of Mackenzie’s true identity, it did not come as a surprise
that the Quillen family was looking for him.
