Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 703
“Validation successful!”
As the host shouted these words, a wave of shock rippled through the room.
Soon after, a deluge of praise inundated the scene, akin to waves crashing.
“My God!! Mr. Magnus is so smart! Is he an alien?”
“He actually managed to solve a problem like this!”
“How on earth does his brain work? He must be the smartest person on this
planet!”
Amidst the chorus of praises and astonishments, Magnus wore an
expression of tranquility, his demeanor humble, as if he didn’t consider
himself particularly extraordinary.
“Mr. Magnus, everyone says you are the smartest person on Earth. What’s
your take on that?” The host quickly handed him the microphone, prompting
an interview about his current feelings.
“I just happened to be able to solve this problem. There are many remarkable
individuals in the world, far smarter than me. I can’t possibly accept such a
title!” Magnus responded modestly while pushing his glasses up.
His response, again, received a round of applause from the audience.
The more he declined the title of the world’s smartest, the more people
believed he was the pinnacle of intellectual prowess.

After the recording of the program concluded, Magnus left backstage.
A group of journalists immediately surrounded him.
“Mr. Magnus, we’ve heard about the unfortunate passing of your Princess
Claudette. Is that true?”
“Mr. Magnus, how are you feeling now? How can you still manage to spare
time for a show?”
“How do you plan to avenge your princess?”
A string of questions surged toward Magnus.
His face filled with sorrow, and two clear tears streamed down his cheeks.
In the next moment, he removed his glasses and wiped away his tears but
was too choked up to answer.
“Clear the way! Clear the way!”
“Mr. Magnus won’t be giving interviews today. Thank you!”
A group of bodyguards quickly came to escort him, blocking the journalists.
and guiding Magnus away.
With tears still in his eyes, Magnus stepped into his private car.
There was only one chauffeur in the car, with a strange haircut and oddly
unattractive features!
Grinning, he spoke, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. “Haha, Magnus, you
can wipe your tears now!”

Magnus wasn’t angered; he smiled and asked, “What brings you here, Blake?
I’ve been asking my father for you, but he never agreed. Why did he agree
this time?”
The unattractive chauffeur, Blake Dotson, grinned and said, “Your dad sent
me to tell you Emmanuel Lowe is alive!”
What? Magnus was indeed slightly stunned!
Seeing his expression through the rearview mirror, Blake burst into laughter.
“Haha, I can’t believe it! Just a moment ago, a whole group of people were
praising how amazing you are, the ‘Super Brain,’ solving the world’s most
challenging questions. Yet, you can’t foresee your enemy could come out
alive!”
Magnus smiled knowingly and remained unperturbed. “Enough teasing, Blake.
Don’t laugh at me anymore. I never claimed to be the smartest.”
“I’ve read novels; you can’t fool me!” Blake continued rudely. “You might put
on a humble act in front of the cameras, but deep down, you think you’re the
-smartest!”
“Haha...” Magnus guffawed, which was a rare occurrence. “Oh, you
understand me the best, Blake! From now on, you’ll stay by my side. This time,
my father can’t refuse.”
“That’s not my concern. You need to convince your old man,” said Blake. “I’m

just here to take you back to see him. He’s given you a task. You have to
complete it within three months. Otherwise, the position of the heir might fall
to someone else!”
“Got it.” Magnus nodded. His relationship with Blake was more akin to that of
friends rather than master and servant.
After their conversation ceased, Magnus’ gaze gradually turned colder,
tinged with a trace of excitement. He mused, The Quillen family treasure that
nobody else can get... Watch me unearth it and claim it!
“This challenge... Hm, it’s much more interesting than those so-called tough
questions on ‘Super Brain’...”
The holiday was over, and the annual disaster drama starring hundreds of
millions of workers nationwide ‘Going to Work’ officially began.
