Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 665
Magnus entered the Lenoir residence in a hurry. He didn’t think Emmanuel
had the guts to barge into such a place and kill him, but he was still worried
nonetheless. After all, Emmanuel was incensed, and it was hard to predict
what he would do.
All of a sudden, an elegant woman appeared and greeted him respectfully,
saying, “Mr. Magnus!”
“Mrs. Quillen?” Initially, Magnus was ready to leave the Lenoir residence, but
he decided to stay there for a while longer.
The woman before his eyes was none other than Felicity. After she fell out
with the Quillen family, she decided to return home to spend New Year’s.
Magnus hadn’t had a proper talk with her before.
“Why does it look like you’re in a hurry, Mr. Magnus?” Felicity wanted to ask him
about where Adolph was, but it was apparently not a good time to do so.
“There’s something I need to attend to,” Magnus replied politely.
Then, he continued with a smile, “I heard that those from the Quillen family
have been treating you badly, Mrs. Quillen. They even joined forces and took
your belongings away. Have you retrieved them?”
Felicity was startled, not expecting the scion of Zovince to be aware of her
affairs. “It’s so embarrassing for me, Mr. Magnus. Since we’re family,

sometimes it’s hard to divide our assets.
Magnus was on the run, so he decided to cut to the chase. “You have a point,
Mrs. Quillen, but if you manage to get back your things, I’ll be more than
willing to buy them from you. I’ll even offer a billion or two. Let’s have a proper
negotiation by then.”
“Well...” Felicity was tempted. She wasn’t an ambitious person. All she wanted
was a better life for the Lenoirs and herself.
Besides that, she had always admired Adolph since a young age. Her brother
once told her that if a person wasn’t the most powerful one, they would
always be restricted by the rest. On the other hand, money would give one
the best support.
This world was all about connections, and money was what made the world
go round. The leaders of some countries were controlled by the capitalists,
and they were merely the spokespeople for the conglomerates behind them.
Therefore, just like her brother, Felicity valued money the most.
“If you face any difficulties, you can always reach out to me. I’m more than
willing to help,” Magnus said gentlemanly.
“Thanks, Mr. Magnus.” Felicity dipped her head, feeling confident that she’d
get back the things that were rightfully hers.
“I’ll take my leave, then.” Magnus nodded at the woman and walked past her.

Many people regarded Magnus as an intelligent person who was adept at
observing people’s expressions and reading their minds.
He could tell that Felicity would certainly help him get the two things from the
Quillen family.

After leaving the Lenoir residence, Emmanuel didn’t have the nerve to go
home, for he was worried his mother would be anxious when she saw him
injured.
His wife was staying at the Quillen residence for the new year holidays, so he
decided to return to the Yociam Residence on his own.
Sorrow spread when it was silent. He initially thought he could save
Claudette, but it turned out that he could only watch as the woman
sacrificed herself to save his life. That kind of pain felt like slashing across an
old wound.
He lay on the couch but couldn’t fall asleep. His heart ached so terribly that
he found it difficult to breathe. He recalled Claudette singing ‘The Wind Rises‘
to him, and his memories with her sprang into his mind.
‘I can see how conflicted your gaze looks. When you smile, you look as
beautiful as a flower. I’ve eventually given my youth to her. Summer passes
as I play the guitar. Are you still willing to do it in the name of love?‘

Is death the end of love?
If Emmanuel could start everything over, he didn’t want to come across
Claudette, nor did he want the woman to fall in love with him.
At the break of dawn the next day, the door opened with a creak.
