Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 918 How Much Does It Take?
Lexi, like her cousin Ashton, was eager for Julian to settle down and stop being so carefree. He was the only male heir of their
generation in the Summerton family, and his family had high expectations for him. Additionally, Roselynn was Emmanuel’s sister,
so if they hit it off, it could lead to further cooperation between the Summerton and Quillen families, which would be a great
outcome for both families.
On the other side, Emmanuel also had a phone call with his sister Roselynn.
“Manny, I’ve been really busy with my startup lately. You should know that! I really don’t want to go on a blind date.”
Emmanuel understood the feeling of being forced into blind dates all too well, so he smiled wryly and said, “I understand how
you feel, Rose, but you should take a page from my book. I went on eighteen blind dates, and it was through that process that I
found Mackenzie. Shouldn’t that be motivating for you?”
“I suppose,” Roselynn reluctantly agreed.
“Roselynn, both Mom and I hope you find happiness soon. We hope you can be more proactive.”
“Alright, as long as he comes to Yeringham, I can meet him whenever.”
Roselynn didn’t refuse the idea of a blind date. She had spent time in places like the Oatleys’, and her current reputation, thanks
to the Oatley family’s publicity, was such that any man who knew about it would be cautious about approaching her.
Having received Roselynn’s agreement, Emmanuel relayed the message to Mackenzie, and they eagerly awaited any good
news from his sister.
Emmanuel was about to drive home to check on Alessandra’s condition when he noticed that a car was tailing him and
eventually blocked his path. He furrowed his brows, suspecting it might be Magnus’ people coming to deal with him. However, he
realized that the car in front seemed somewhat familiar.
Soon, a chauffeur in a suit stepped out of the car and walked up to Emmanuel’s vehicle, tapping on his car window.
“Ms. Hannah wants to see you. Follow me!” Not only were his actions brusque, but his words also lacked courtesy.
Ms. Hannah? Emmanuel furrowed his brows, not planning to give in to the discourteous tone, However, with his sharp eyes, he
noticed in the rearview mirror that the woman in the car ahead was Hannah, Mackenzie’s fifth aunt. Given her status as a family

elder, he decided to show her some respect, as escalating the situation would not benefit Mackenzie.
Emmanuel soon followed the man to a private club and was led into a small room
“Ms. Hannah, what can I do for you?” Emmanuel’s attitude was neither servile nor provocative.
Hannah was much colder and more aloof in her demeanor. She cast a sidelong glance at him and asked directly, “So, how much
does it take for you to leave Mackenzie?”
Emmanuel was momentarily taken aback and furrowed his brows, asking, “Ms. Hannah, I don’t quite understand your meaning.”
“Don’t play dumb.” Hannah slammed a stack of documents on the table before him and said coldly, “You, a man who’s been on
eighteen blind dates, must have been looking for wealthy women all along, right? Aren’t you trying to marry for money? I can
make it easy for you. Just name your price if you’re willing to divorce Mackenzie.”
Her words were almost identical to what Felicity had said before. Of course, Emmanuel knew that this was a sentiment held by
many, including Mackenzie, at the beginning.
“Is it that I can name any price, and you’d pay it?” Emmanuel also had his temper, and if Hannah was going to be so
disrespectful, he didn’t feel like having a civil conversation with her.
“Hmph, showing your true colors now, huh? Fine, how much do you want?”
