Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 712
As expected, Jonathan exploded in anger, snatching the phone and loudly
threatening Rhea, “Listen up! I am Jonathan of the Verkade family in
Yeringham. I’m going to consume in Suite 888 tonight. You’ll switch with me if
you know better. I can even give you a tip. Otherwise, you’ll face the
consequences!”
Rhea’s mood instantly soured!
She had intended to make up for her failed cooking by choosing the VIP Suite
888 to treat Emmanuel. However, the restaurant first convinced her to
change her reservation, and now she was being threatened.
Of course, she was aware of the power of the Verkade family in Yeringham,
but what place did Jonathan hold in that family? How dare he use their name
to intimidate her?!
Her anger temporarily rendered her speechless.
Jonathan, on the other hand, mistook her silence for fear and grew even
more arrogant. “If you know what’s good for you, say you’ll change the
reservation. No one can take what I have laid my eyes on!”
At that, he looked at Tia with a triumphant glance. However, the young
woman only felt a strong aversion. If she were to become involved with a
man like this, not only would she lack security, but she would also feel afraid.

However, Marianne was wholly pleased, for she believed having a son-in-law
like Jonathan would ensure no one would dare bully her family.
“Hey!”
Just as Jonathan was at the height of his arrogance, someone called out to
him from behind.
Jonathan’s smile instantly froze at the sound of the familiar voice, and he a
sense of foreboding quickly crept up on him.
He turned around, and sure enough, Emmanuel, the Great Demon King, was
right there.
“E-Emmanuel? What... What are you doing here?”
Jonathan’s smile stiffened as he quickly stepped back, his back against the
door of the suite.
His drastic change in demeanor rendered Marianne stumped, and Rhea felt
the same way. She couldn’t believe someone so arrogant acted like a mouse
encountering a cat when seeing Emmanuel.
Is Emmanuel that scary?
“I’m here to eat, and you’re in my way,” Emmanuel said nonchalantly.
However, Jonathan’s legs were trembling with fear! The scene’ of him
previously being choked and lifted off the ground by Emmanuel in this
restaurant replayed in his head. It was a nightmare that haunted him.

“Is... is this your reservation?” he asked in a quivering voice.
“Naturally! Are you going to snatch it again?” Emmanuel asked.
“What? No, no, no!” Jonathan waved his hands hastily. “I-I have no intention of
doing that, haha. I was just asking!”
“What are you still standing there for, then? Good dogs don’t stand in the
way!” Emmanuel’s gaze turned icy.
Jonathan immediately scurried to open the door for them, rendering
everyone present flabbergasted!
Marianne felt regretful even more so. Why can’t this man be my girl’s real
boyfriend? Ah, how great would that be! Besides, that woman next to him isn’t
any better than Tia.
“Emmanuel, let’s go in!” Rhea said to Emmanuel with a smile, delighted
beyond measure.
This was true masculine dominance! No need to resort to clawing and
growling like Jonathan; true authority emanated from within.
“Sure.” Emmanuel nodded and turned to Tia. “Would you like to join us for a
meal?”
Rhea was momentarily stunned. So, this is the Tia that Emmanuel had just
mentioned? What a coincidence!
