Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 493
Emmanuel couldn’t hide his excited grin as he watched Quintus. He had
known that the latter was powerful, but he never imagined that the man’s
strength would surpass his expectations.
Quintus had an innate talent for combat!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two of them started to tear the battlefield apart the longer they engaged
in a fierce battle in the front yard.
The thing was, the Lenoir family had a military–style villa, which meant it was
much sturdier than ordinary houses. And yet, these two individuals managed
to make a mess out of this residence where the floor was even made of
stone. This only showed their immense destructive power.
After about a hundred moves, the balance of victory had started to tilt.
While Quintus‘ defense was, formidable, there was still a gap in terms of
techniques and combat experience compared to Emmanuel. He was already
in a one–sided beatdown.
Everyone from the Lenoir family was dumbfounded when they witnessed this
scene. They were baffled by the man named Emmanuel Lowe.
Not only did he defeat the renowned Felix, but now he even overpowered
Quintus, the top young martial artist and eldest son of the Lenoir family

carefully trained by Adolph.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Emmanuel landed three consecutive kicks on Quintus, causing the latter to
fall heavily to the ground despite his steel–like body.
“I’m done! Enough!” Frustrated and angry, Quintus turned to Adolph and
stated, “Dad, it’s not that I don’t want to avenge my sister, but I truly can’t
defeat him. What if he really didn’t use Claudette as his shield?”
Adolph’s face turned so grim it was almost black.
Losing to Felix was already bad enough, but how was he supposed to raise
his head up high if his most carefully cultivated son was defeated by
Emmanuel as well?
But ironically, he found it difficult to deal with Emmanuel despite his threats
earlier. If he forcefully tried to handle Emmanuel, his prestige would likely take
a hit.
Emmanuel caught his breath and looked at Quintus. If this big guy persists,
there might be unexpected changes in the outcome of the battle. He hadn’t
expected that Quintus would readily admit defeat after relentlessly trying to
win against him.
Emmanuel knew he hadn’t misjudged Quintus. Despite his slightly immature
behavior and being his love rival, Quintus still had good character.

“Listen up, Emmanuel Lowe!” Adolph’s voice was cold as he announced, “I,
Adolph Lenoir, am a man of my word. You have won today, and I will allow
you to leave the Lenoir Residence. However, that doesn’t mean I will let you
off the hook. I will definitely look into Claudette’s death!”
Everyone in the Lenoir family knew that while Adolph didn’t care much about
the frivolous Tobias, he had always doted on Claudette.
It was reasonable that he wouldn’t let her death go unsolved even though he
decided to stop investigating Tobias‘ death.
“General Lenoir, I’ve said it many times. I did not use Claudette as a shield.
Magnus was the one who shot me, and Claudette voluntarily protected me
from the bullet!”
Emmanuel’s voice grew impassioned. “I’m also devastated by her death. Why
don’t you confront Magnus? Why don’t you take revenge on him?”
Adolph’s anger deepened as he replied, “I’ve said that I will never believe your
word alone unless you have evidence!”
As the situation seemed to be reaching a dead end and there seemed to be
no way to resolve this, Elizabeth finally stepped forward with her teeth
clenched. “Dad, since you want evidence, you’ll believe Manuel if we find a
way to wake Claudette up and let her tell you, right?”
As the words fell, Emmanuel’s eyes widened in shock. Is Claudette still alive?

How can that be? The bullet hit her heart! No... This is impossible!
The very next moment, Elizabeth turned to him and asked, “Manuel, you’re a
doctor, right? You helped treat my sister’s strange illness before. Do you have
any way to get her to wake up?”
Emmanuel couldn’t contain himself any longer. He walked toward her in
excitement, thereafter gripping her shoulders tightly. “Miss Elizabeth, what did
you say? Is Claudette still alive? She hasn’t been buried yet?”
Mackenzie hadn’t told him about this. He truly had no idea!
With a nod from Elizabeth, Emmanuel exclaimed, “Quick! Take me to see her!
want to see her!”
A surge of joy and relief rushed up from the depths of his heart.
Although Emmanuel hadn’t mentioned it to anyone during this period, he had
been filled with guilt. Every thought of Claudette he had hurt him deeply.
Since fate had given him another chance, even if the hope was faint and
even if it was just a one–in–a–million chance, he would find a way to revive
Claudette!
