Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
Following Mackenzie’s instructions, Emmanuel drove himself back home. However, he couldn’t allow this situation to persist. If the Lenoir family couldn’t bring him to justice through legal means, they would continue to send people to target him and the Quillen family.
Emmanuel believed that a true man should take responsibility for his actions. Despite Mackenzie and Terence exhibiting unwavering courage in the face of the Lenoir family, the current situation was not what he desired.
At 12.00PM that day, Emmanuel embarked on a solitary drive to the Lenoir Residence.
The security guards at the Lenoir family villa were taken aback when they saw him willingly walking into what seemed like a trap.
“Emmanuel! Emmanuel is here!” A resounding shout echoed through the air. Immediately, a large group of people rushed out of the villa and surrounded Emmanuel from all sides.
Some even brandished guns, but they hesitated to open fire without the owner’s command.
“Don’t shoot!” Suddenly, a beautiful young girl dashed out of the villa–it was Elizabeth. She hurriedly rushed toward Emmanuel, and the security guards swiftly cleared a path for her. Elizabeth didn’t usually spend much time in the mansion, but fortunately, she happened to be there today. Little did she expect that despite being aware of the Lenoir family’s murderous intentions, Emmanuel still dared to set foot on their doorstep.
“Emmanuel, what are you doing here? You must leave quickly before my father and Quintus are here!” Elizabeth pushed Emmanuel forcefully, urging him to leave..
Emmanuel was deeply moved. He didn’t expect to find someone in the Lenoir family who stood by his side in this tumultuous situation.
However, he remained resolute and lowered his head as he spoke to Elizabeth. “I don’t want the Lenoir and Quillen families to be caught up in a major conflict because of me. I came here today to resolve the situation.”
Elizabeth gazed up at Emmanuel, feeling as though she were beholding a towering mountain. It was at that moment that she comprehended why Claudette had been captivated by him. Elizabeth’s heart was also irresistibly drawn to him as she pondered who else would dare to stand up against the Lenoir family alone in Yeringham, despite being well aware of their malicious intentions.
In the next instant, the security guards dispersed like a receding tide as the head of the Lenoir family arrived on the scene. Adolph appeared with Laura by his side, followed closely behind by Felix and some other influential figures from the Lenoir family.
Seeing Emmanuel, Adolph burst into laughter and mockingly asked, “Haha!
Emmanuel Lowe, eh? What brings you here?” At that moment, two possibilities crossed Adolph’s mind. Either Emmanuel didn’t take the Lenoir family seriously and had come to assassinate him, or he had reached his breaking point and sought to surrender, pleading for mercy.
The latter seemed more plausible to Adolph as he recollected numerous instances where enemies of the Lenoir family had kneeled before him while pleading for their lives.
Presently, Emmanuel looked directly at Adolph and stated, “Are you Claudette’s father? I’ve come to clarify two things.” Despite Adolph’s imposing presence, Emmanuel remained unfazed.
Although Adolph was an extraordinary figure, his aura paled in comparison to that of Kolton from the Northern Region.
As Laura observed Emmanuel’s unwavering composure amid the tense situation, she couldn’t help but lick her lips. I really admire men like him! What a pity! If only he would ditch Mackenzie and marry Claudette instead, everything would be perfect. Unfortunately, he disappointed Claudette and let her leave with regret. That’s why I absolutely can’t forgive him!
“Two things?” Adolph squinted and inquired, “Is it about Claudette and Tobias?”
“Yes.” Emmanuel nodded, wasting no time as he got straight to the point.
“First, Claudette died for me, but I wasn’t responsible for her death. It was Magnus who pulled the trigger. Secondly, Tobias attempted to defile my wife, Mackenzie Quillen. As her husband, I couldn’t control my anger and ended up killing him. He got what he deserved!”
