Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 589
“Haha! I won’t make any trouble in here, I promise!” Of course, Quintus dared
not act impudent in front of his goddess and Alfred as he had just now. He
gave in right away, looking not at all like a wealthy scion but like a real
scoundrel. However, just when the assistant butler also thought he was going
to leave in dejection, he continued with a big grin, “I’m here to duel with
Emmanuel, Mackenzie. He can’t be together with you as long as he’s yet to
get past me! After all, I’m his number one love rival!”
Both Emmanuel and Mackenzie were speechless. So what if you’re a love
rival? Do you have to proclaim yourself number one?! You’re truly the most
self–important man in Yeringham!
Alfred put his hands inside his sleeves. “Mr. Lenoir, Emmanuel’s relationship
with Ms. Mackenzie has been made public tonight, so he’s now considered.a
member of the Quillen family. If you want to come after him at the Quillen
residence, you’re gonna have to walk over my dead body!” he warned in an
impassive voice that nonetheless carried a sense of intimidating pressure.
Immediately, Quintus replied with a grin, “Haha! The last thing I want is to fight
with an old man. After all, respecting the elderly and caring for the young are
virtues of mine. Well then, Mr. Grishaw, I can cancel my duel with Emmanuel
today out of respect for you. That being said, he must go with me now!”

“Mr. Lenoir, please stop this nonsense and go back now!” Alfred advised
again. Emmanuel is the star of today’s dinner party! How can he be taken
away halfway through it?
Mackenzie had no intention of talking to Quintus either. She was just about to
turn around and return to the dinner party, but to her dismay, Emmanuel
asked, “Quintus Lenoir, just what else are you here for?”
“Did you forget it?! F*ck you!” swore Quintus. “Didn’t you promise to visit
Claudette every day? Today’s the second day already, and she’s in an urgent
condition again!”
Just as expected, he’s here for this! Both Mackenzie and Emmanuel had
figured just now that this was Quintus‘ real motive for coming here. And yet,
this self–important man had claimed that he wanted to challenge Emmanuel
to a duel.
“Okay, I’ll go with you!” agreed Emmanuel at once. After all, he had promised
this himself, and a promise was a promise.
In an instant, Mackenzie’s eyes quivered, and she froze somewhat.
Fearing that she would object to it, Emmanuel quickly turned to look at her.
“Sorry, Mackenzie! Now that Claudette’s condition has worsened, I have to go
check on her first.”
Mackenzie’s scarlet lips parted for a moment. In the end, she turned around

and returned to the dinner party without saying a word. What else can I say?
Can I forbid Emmanuel from going? Claudette saved both of our lives, after
all, she thought to herself. That being said, I am his wife. How can I pretend to
be open–minded and nonchalant about it when my husband is leaving
halfway through my family’s dinner party at which he just made his debut-
to see another woman? I’m not that kind of woman! So, what else can I do.
other than keep silent? Her silence was both an expression of tacit consent
and an indication that she was seething inwardly.
Taking in this scene, Alfred’s narrowed eyes widened slightly; his lips curled
into a meaningful smile. Seems like Ms. Mackenzie has really changed! She’d
brighten up or get angry because of a man, for whom she’d also make
concessions and changes. It’s not known yet whether Quintus is Emmanuel’s
number one love rival, but one thing seems to be certain: Claudette is
definitely Ms. Mackenzie’s number one love rival!
All Emmanuel could do was heave a silent sigh while looking at his wife from
behind. He really wanted to do his best in front of her today, and he also
wanted to maintain his marriage to her. However, he really couldn’t leave
Claudette alone.
“Haha! Let’s go!” No one was more delighted than Quintus; not only did he
ruin Emmanuel’s debut at the Quillen residence, but he also managed to take

the man back to see his sister. As long as I keep on making mischief without
shame, Mackenzie will throw Emmanuel out sooner or later. Yeah, I’m the
man who knows her best!
And thus, Mackenzie returned to the dinner party alone.
