Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 577
As Emmanuel entered the Quillen residence, a sense of unease washed over
him. He had anticipated tonight’s reunion dinner to be like the previous one,
perhaps with a larger gathering. However, it exceeded his expectations with
stunning lanterns and festoon decorations. The harmonious lanterns and the
bustling atmosphere gave the impression of a regal celebration in a grand
imperial palace garden.
What’s going on? He was taken aback to discover that the Quillen family’s
reunion dinner this year was being held in a separate building. With its three
floors, front and back gardens, and hundreds of tables, the venue was
brimming with guests!
“T–This is too extravagant!” He was suddenly overwhelmed by immense
pressure, his eyes widening in astonishment.
Samantha noticed his expression and chuckled proudly, saying, “Almost the
entire town of Yeringham is eager to curry favor with the Quillen family.
Anyone with even the slightest family connection will be here tonight, seeking
to revel in our glory. We also have numerous wealthy merchants and tycoons
attending. Even second–tier celebrities are seizing this opportunity to make
an appearance. They view tonight’s reunion dinner as a golden chance to
expand their social connections. Understand?”

He nodded, grasping the situation to some extent. So, this is the lifestyle and
socializing of the upper class.
As he pondered the future and considered the inevitable encounters he
would have once his relationship with Mackenzie became public, a myriad of
emotions surged within him. Nevertheless, could he forsake his beloved wife
simply because he did not wish to attend such occasions?
“Hehe. You finally see how remarkable your wife’s family is, don’t you? By the
way, let me remind you, never disappoint Mackenzie in the future!” With a
smile, Samantha continued, “Our Mackenzie is the number one beauty in
Yeringham. Wealthy heirs have been chasing after her relentlessly for years.
Everyone is eager to see who will marry her in the end. If you ever make her
even slightly sad or upset, I guarantee there will be no shortage of men who
wants to take you down!”
“Got it, Aunt Samantha!” He forced a bitter smile, nodding as the pressure on
him intensified.
Not to mention the Quillen family’s current influence, Emmanuel would not
have dared to mistreat Mackenzie even before! He had always been the one
being bullied.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the banquet building, Beatrix burst into the
room where Mackenzie was. Her chest heaved as she caught her breath,

which added a sense of liveliness to her appearance.
“What’s wrong? You look anxious.” Mackenzie was in the middle of her
makeup.
Today’s banquet held great significance for her as Terence had insisted on
publicly announcing her relationship with Emmanuel. She naturally
understood Terence’s intention; he did not want her to act willfully and
divorce Emmanuel as easily as she had done before.
“Mackenzie, Aunt Samantha has brought Emmanuel here. Have you... truly
decided your mind to announce your relationship with him?” Beatrix still
found it hard to believe.
As if his presence qt the Quillen family dinner was not already shocking
enough, they now had to announce their relationship before such a large
audience. It was bound to create a seismic event in Yeringham!
After all, only a few people were aware of what had transpired between
Mackenzie and Emmanuel in the past three months. The majority still held the
impression of her as the cold and aloof female CEO with misandry.
“I haven’t decided yet.” She adjusted her earrings while casually responding,
“I’ll simply go with the flow and see how things unfold.”
“Huh? But-” Beatrix looked at the current Mackenzie and finally realized she
had undergone a subtle yet profound transformation.

At that moment, Lexi suddenly appeared from behind and patted Beatrix’s
shoulder with an amused smile. “Ms. Beatrix, do you remember the bet we
made three months ago?”
“Huh? ...” Beatrix’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment.
“Alright, you two. Did you make a bet involving me?” Mackenzie turned
around, her wise eyes gazing at them.
Lexi quickly responded with a smile. “Ms. Quillen, it was Ms. Beatrix who started
the bet. She said that if your marriage with Emmanuel could last until the
New Year, she would immediately get herself a boyfriend!”
“Oh?” Mackenzie glanced at Beatrix with an ambiguous smile.
