Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO; Chapter 591

Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

All women in the Quillen family were extremely hostile toward Felicity for one reason alone. Since marrying into the Quillens, she had been constantly damaging their interests by taking advantage of her status as the family’s daughter–in–law. She benefited her own family in every way possible: projects, markets, funds, even landownerships or futures… She would give whatever she could to the Lenoirs regardless of the situation. Sometimes she succeeded, sometimes she didn’t. Still, she always based her interests on the Lenoirs, not the Quillens. Because of this, the Quillen family’s women had long detested this bloodsucking parasite of their family. Had Terence not focused on the bigger picture, they would have gotten rid of her at the quickest opportunity!

Taking heed of her example, most women in the Quillen family thus chose to stay unmarried to prevent any man from marrying into their family. Even the daughters who were married off had no real power in the family, so they could never give away the family’s assets.

However, going on like this wasn’t the solution, considering that the Quillens were mostly women in the first place. At the end of the day, the Quillen family was in need of men. Therefore, it went without saying that Mackenzie’s husband was now the family’s top priority. Every woman in the Quillen family would keep a check on him, so it wouldn’t be that easy for him to really become part of their family! At the sight of the look on Mackenzie’s face, Samantha hurriedly stopped Hannah.

“Hannah, what are you talking about? Stop it already!”

Hannah wouldn’t shut up, though. “Why should I stop it? I’m saying this for the good of both Mackenzie and our family!” Samantha stared straight at her, arguing, “Emmanuel was picked out by Dad for Mackenzie, who only gave her approval after keeping him under observation for three months! By saying that, do you mean you don’t believe in Dad and Mackenzie’s judgment?”

Hannah retorted defiantly, “I know both Dad and Mackenzie have great wisdom, but even they can slip up sometimes! And besides, Mackenzie isn’t an expert when it comes to relationships. Is it wrong of me to share my experience with her as someone experienced in romance?”

Knowing Hannah’s sharp tongue, Samantha was really at a loss for a counterargument for a while. Even though she was also one of those who helped keep a check on Emmanuel, she wasn’t of the same view as Hannah.

She sincerely didn’t think Emmanuel was the kind of “Socialite Collector” that Hannah described. Neither did Mackenzie believe this. She and Emmanuel had spent three months together, but this idiot never spent a penny of hers. He insisted on paying back the money he borrowed from her; not only that, he even chose to leave without taking anything from her as compensation in the event of a divorce. I know better than anyone else whether he’s pretending to be a decent guy! If he’s really pretending and is able to fool even me, I’ll have to hand it to him.

“What’s the matter? What’s all the argument about?”

“Mackenzie, why don’t you dump that Emmanuel guy? You two are from different backgrounds!”

“I think so, too. At first, I thought he was pretty nice, but he dared to actually disrespect our family! Who the hell does he think he is?”

“Don’t accept anyone who doesn’t know their place! We already have a precedent here!”

More and more of the Quillen family’s women came in, each expressing their own views, acting as though they were guardians of Mackenzie’s love life.

“Shut up, all of you!” snapped a really annoyed Mackenzie. “You’re so noisy!”

With that, she returned to her room, leaving these women stunned for a moment before they continued to argue endlessly in the living room.

Meanwhile, Hubert was sent back to the Verkade residence by the Quillen family’s men.

“What happened? Where is Hubert? Is he okay?” asked Winona Zelinsky, Hubert’s mother. She had just heard that something had happened to her son. Before she could find out the details, the Verkade family’s servants reported that Hubert had been sent home.

Hubert was lying on his stomach on the living room couch. Despite being a man, he burst into tears of grievance as soon as he saw his mother. “Mom… Mom!”

“What’s wrong, Hubert? What on earth happened to you?” Winona was only relieved when she saw that her son was still in one piece. All her friends and relatives had texted her just now, saying that her son was in great trouble or that her son was really incredible. However, none of them let her in on the details, and she was worried to death as a result.

Hubert sobbed like a baby with despair written all over his face. “Mom, I want to die! I don’t want to live anymore…

Clasping him in her arms, Winona pressed his face to her bosom with loving eyes. “Come on, son, be good and tell me what happened. Who bullied you? I’ll stand up for you!”
