Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 666
“Who is it?!” A sorrowful Emmanuel quickly sat up on the couch. When he
realized who the person was, he was astounded. “Mackenzie, why are you...”
The woman walked toward him in silence. When she saw that the man’s eyes
were bloodshot, and there were several empty beer bottles beside the
couch, she felt heartbroken. It must have been a tough night for him.
“Is Claudette dead?” Mackenzie decided to cut to the chase. “The police are
looking into the matter now.”
Emmanuel dipped his head. He had been holding back his tears for the entire
night, but they eventually rolled down his cheeks when he was in front of the
woman he loved.
Just as he was ready to wipe the tears from his eyes, Mackenzie approached
him and pulled him into her embrace. As her face stuck close to his neck, she
said gently, “Stop blaming yourself. I’m sure she felt happy when she passed
away.”
It was said that your enemies knew you best, especially in the rivalry of love.
“Although I wasn’t there when Claudette passed away, I’m sure she must
have been smiling in the last moments of her life.” Mackenzie’s consolation
was effective. When he saw Claudette falling down the cliff at that time, she
indeed sported a smile.

“We can’t change the past, but I’ll stay by your side and get revenge for
Claudette with you.” Despite Mackenzie’s brief words, she managed to heal
the wound in his heart and pull him out of extreme sorrow.
“Do you already know everything, Mackenzie?” Emmanuel was surprised. Only
one night had passed, but his wife had found out everything.
Mackenzie nodded and stepped away from the man before saying slowly,
“Lexi has helped me gather a lot of information about the Lenoir family.
General Lenoir was summoned and even transferred out of Yeringham. A
mysterious buyer has purchased the Lenoir Group. Even though we haven’t
found out who the person is, it must have something to do with the Zelinsky
family from Zovince. Considering that the Lenoirs have been concentrating
on the energy market, I reckon that their enemy must be after their energy
business.”
Suddenly, she realized Emmanuel was looking at her strangely, and there
was even a smile on his face.
“What are you doing?” she asked curiously.
“I don’t know. I just feel very happy.” The smile on Emmanuel’s face widened.
“It was your first time talking about business with me yesterday, and you’re
even telling me more now. Does it mean you finally regard me as your
closest partner?”

He’s such a dummy! Mackenzie glowered at him and chastised him by
saying, “I’m being serious. Can you stop being corny?”
“I don’t think it’s corny.” Emmanuel appeared innocent. “I just can’t hide my
feelings from you.”
“Not again!” Mackenzie glared at him.
Emmanuel raised both hands with a smile. “Alright, alright. Let’s be serious.
Magnus had a talk with me and even tried to make me side with him to
snatch two things from the Quillen family.”
“What?!” Mackenzie instantly became vigilant.
Emmanuel could feel that the woman was suddenly wary of him.
He wasn’t a fool, and he knew that his wife was a cautious person. She had
always suspected that he only wanted to marry her for the Quillen family’s
wealth. If she wasn’t wary of him upon hearing such news, she wouldn’t be
the Mackenzie he knew.
“What are you planning to do?”
“Do you still not trust me, Mackenzie?”
When Emmanuel saw how alert she was, he forcefully pulled her into his
embrace. Their faces were barely inches away. If one of them took the
initiative, they could kiss the other party.
“I turned him down, of course. I’m telling you all this so that you’ll keep your

guard up. I suppose Magnus‘ targets are the ‘Energy Diagram of Nine Palace‘
and the ‘Heart of the Sun“.”
When Mackenzie heard the man bringing up the two items, she grew even
more suspicious. Did he marry me not for my grandpa’s wealth? Is he aiming
for something bigger?
