Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 640
In accordance with the rules of the Redback Assassins, what awaited the
Snake Master were punishments, and the greater the job, the harsher the
penalty. Even if he survived the punishment, he would no longer receive any
further recognition or be given another opportunity.
“There will always be a way out, Brother. Not all hope is lost. We’re still alive,
aren’t we?”
She had actually advised her brother against this assignment when he first
received it.
She still didn’t know that Emmanuel had regained his strength at the time.
She was simply worried that her brother would kill Emmanuel and followed
him over, prepared to plead for Emmanuel’s life to repay her debt from many
years ago. But who’d have thought it would end up like this?!
Emmanuel, however, no longer paid attention to the pair of siblings; his
thoughts were focused on his wife.
Although Mackenzie walked alongside him as they left, she quickly picked up
her pace and left him behind after a short distance. It was evident that once
they were alone, her icy and proud demeanor resurfaced.
“Mackenzie!” Emmanuel caught up to her and grabbed her hand.
“Don’t touch me! Go be with your Sarah! She’s willing to show her naked self

to you! How good does she look with her ample bosom and curvaceous
figure, smooth and tender skin!” Mackenzie flung his and away icily, clearly
still holding a grudge.
Emmanuel was rendered both frustrated and amused. His dear wife was
jealous of Sarah again.
“Mackenzie, listen to me. Sarah saved the sister of a fallen comrade for me
and brought her over to visit me. She accidentally fell into the river and got
her clothes soaked. That was why she took them off. Please don’t get the
wrong idea. There’s really nothing between us.” Emmanuel quickly grabbed
Mackenzie’s hand again, explaining in one breath.
However, Mackenzie still shook off his hand and muttered coldly, “That viper
must’ve done it on purpose!”
“Viper?” Emmanuel was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t really associated
Sarah with a snake before.
Wasn’t it because of the Snake Master that they saw a sea of snakes that
day?!
Mackenzie suddenly shot her icy gaze at Emmanuel and ranted, “It’s obvious
you care more about that viper than me! If you never intended to chase after
me in the first place, why come looking for me now?! I don’t need your
protection. I can protect myself just fine. Don’t be delusional!”

With that, she shook off Emmanuel’s hand again, and Emmanuel grabbed her
hand for the third time, refusing to let her go.
Alfred, who was searching nearby, caught the noise and maneuvered
through the tall trees silently and swiftly. In the dim light of the night, he found
-Mackenzie from a considerable distance.
Alfred was overjoyed and was about to approach the young lady when he
noticed Emmanuel holding her tightly. He immediately halted his
movements, and a faint smirk appeared on his lips.
“Forget it. I’ll go back and inform Old Mr. Quillen to put his mind at ease.”
Alfred leaped down from the tall tree, leaving no trace in the snow as he
departed from the scene.
“Mackenzie, please don’t be so prickly, and let me explain,” Emmanuel
pleaded urgently. “You ran out so suddenly while my mother passed out from
anger. Of course, I had to make sure she was safe before I could come
looking! But who’d have thought you ran so far away that I couldn’t find you
at all?!”
Emmanuel’s words stumped Mackenzie a little. She had no idea Alessandra
had passed out.
She had been seething with anger, waiting for Emmanuel to come out and
explain himself. But as time went on with no sign of him, her anger had

escalated, driving her to lose her composure.
Hmph, cursed love again!
It had turned her, an extremely rational and almost emotionless woman, into
someone no different from an ordinary woman!
“Can you go back with me now, Mackenzie? Don’t get angry so easily
anymore, okay?” Emmanuel coaxed, relieved that she didn’t shake him off
again.
In truth, Mackenzie had already forgiven him. But she thought it would be too
easy on her so–called husband if she, the esteemed princess of the Quillen
family, forgave him so quickly.
No, that absolutely cannot happen!
“Hmph, isn’t it because of you that I’m mad?! I’ll hurt myself if you dare piss
me off again!” Mackenzie flung his hand away but didn’t walk away this time.
“You’d go that far?!” Emmanuel said with a slight terror.
He still remembered how Abellyn stabbed Ryder when she was made angry
and thought that was pretty ruthless in itself. But who’d have thought his wife
was even more ruthless, even swearing to harm herself when she got angry.
