A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO Chapter 411-420

Chapter 411

1/4

I can’t believe Emmanuel’s wife is begging him to go back not long after.

Besides, the way Mackenzie summoned Emmanuel back home is also pretty

bone-chilling, I’d say. Jack had always thought that Mackenzie was just an

ordinary woman who happened to be beautiful and rich, but after reading

the message, he realized he had been wrong all the while. She must be

someone influential for making Yeringham’s press send that kind of

message; this isn’t just about money, but also connections!

Meanwhile, Jaxton was as surprised as Jack after reading the message.

Although he had long known Mackenzie was from the rich and powerful

Quillen family, he didn’t think she would go so far just to reconcile with

Emmanuel. After all, Mackenzie’s action of using the press to send out a

personal message could be followed by serious consequences that might

put the Quillen family in trouble. Therefore, he couldn’t help but wonder why

she would do that. Looks like she’s pretty determined!

“Do you see that, Mom? Mackenzie isn’t going to divorce Emmanuel!”

Roselynn shared the news with Alessandra in excitement.

“Yeah, I’m aware of that, but I wonder where Emmanuel is right now!”

Alessandra was relieved when she heard the news. Turns out that Mackenzie

has been searching for Emmanuel too. That’s good! What’s left now is to replace

Emmanuel, and everything should come to an end.

“Yeah, let’s figure out a way to look for Emmanuel!” Roselynn couldn’t wait to

replace her own brother, but soon, she caught a glimpse of Jaxton still standing

there from the corner of her eyes. “Why are you still standing here? Beat it!”

Jaxton’s face was written with an awkward expression. After all, he didn’t think

the situation would take such an unexpected and dramatic turn. It turned out

that it wasn’t Mackenzie who wanted to divorce Emmanuel. Instead, it was

Emmanuel who hadn’t responded to Mackenzie at all. “My bad, Roselynn. As

your husband, I’ll do my best to get your brother back.”

Did you forget that you were trying to cut ties with me moments ago? But

now, you’re calling Emmanuel as if he’s your actual brother. “No need for

that!” Roselynn knew what the man was up to. Although he was her legal

husband, she would not protect him.

Jaxton was awkward, but he hid his feelings well. “I’ll get in touch with you

once you feel better, Roselynn. Stay in touch!” He finished his words and left

the Lowe family.

Roselynn couldn’t accept the fact that Jaxton acted as though he forgot

everything he just did like nothing happened, feeling disappointed with him.

You should be grateful that Emmanuel isn’t here now, or I swear I’ll make you

regret it!

“For now, how would you like us to replace Emmanuel, Roselynn? Just tell us what

to do. We’ll back you up!” Benny showed enthusiasm by volunteering to help

look for Emmanuel despite gloating about the man’s situation earlier.

“That’s right, Roselynn. Just tell me what I can do! I know some of the places

that Emmanuel used to frequent. I’ll look for him!” Jack tried to flatter

Roselynn by offering a helping hand, knowing how powerful and influential

Mackenzie was. Because of Mackenzie’s decision to remarry Emmanuel, he

reckoned that he needed to win his cousin’s favor. After all, the Lowe family

was just a modest family that couldn’t even come close to Mackenzie alone

in terms of wealth and influence.

In the meantime, Roselynn felt angry when she saw the way they reacted.

Thus, she sarcastically mocked them and asked, “Didn’t you just call my

brother a fool? Why are you so worried about him now?”

“Well…” Jack wanted to call Emmanuel ́a fool, yet he was unable to refute how

lucky he was to have someone like Mackenzie as his wife.

“Alright, Roselynn. Let’s not waste time quarreling here. We need to act now!”

Alessandra quickly stepped in to defuse the situation as she persuaded all

the Lowe family members to join the search for Emmanuel.

Nevertheless, their efforts were soon met with a huge setback; even

Mackenzie could not replace Emmanuel. Even after visiting every place that

Emmanuel had been to or could possibly be, no one had found him. It

seemed like he had just disappeared from the surface of the planet.

However, little did they know that all information about the members of the

Wolf Warrior Unit had been heavily encrypted by national security. Therefore,

since Emmanuel decided to return to the Northern Region, his whereabouts

would be concealed and kept a secret, leaving no trail for anyone to replace him.

Chapter 412

On the other hand, the military camp in the Northern Region was filled with a

cold breeze. At the same time, the buildings there looked like mighty huge

beasts guarding their kingdom, Chanaea, keeping outsiders from setting foot

on their land.

At that moment, Emmanuel appeared to be serving an old man a cup of

black tea in a spacious room. Served with the most common drink in the

military camp, the old man with gray hair seemed touched as he excitedly

raised the cup and took a sip. “Finally, haha! It’s been three years since I last

drank the tea you made. I must say that you make the best black tea in the

world.” While the man had a huge liking for drinking tea, it was in fact the

person whom he had missed.

Eight years ago, when the old man found Emmanuel among hundreds of

elites and discovered his talent in healing, he was so excited that he couldn’t

sleep. For the next few years, he dedicated all his time and effort to training

and making Emmanuel the Northern Region Wolf Warrior. Nevertheless,

Emmanuel later made a mistake as he was still too young and impulsive.

Troubled by that, he reluctantly decided to leave the Northern Region, which

came as a disappointment to the old man. Therefore, when he finally

reunited with Emmanuel three years later, he couldn’t help but feel happy

about it.

“I’m sorry, Master!” Emmanuel spoke tersely like he always did, letting out a

sigh after that.

As Emmanuel’s mentor and the Northern Region’s commander, Santiago

Adkins had sacrificed and made a lot of contributions to his nation. Therefore,

Emmanuel was especially grateful to have a respectable figure like Santiago

as his mentor.

In the first few years of his career, Emmanuel performed outstandingly on the

battlefield to repay his mentor. However, things took a turn for the worse in

the Battle of Waterloo three years ago.

Having made a mistake during that battle, he decided to put a stop to his

career to atone for his errors. As time flew, three years passed by without him.

knowing it. He later went on to kill the traitor, Kan Bender, but despite that, he

couldn’t make the guilt that was gnawing at him go away.

“Hmph! What’s the point of apologizing?! Have you returned to repay me by

resuming your military career?” Santiago suddenly became serious. “Do you

still remember how I used to teach you? No matter how many times he falls

down, a true man always gets back up.”

“Master, I…” Emmanuel swallowed his words, not knowing what to say next. In

fact, the reason Emmanuel left was not only because of his own reasons but

also because he was forced to take responsibility for the war that was lost in

the Northern Region. Right after he left the task force, it didn’t occur to him to

return to the Northern Region again. After all, he was so devastated by his

disheartenment that he no longer saw a purpose in his own life.

“Well, if you know your mistakes, you must right the wrongs!” Santiago could

sense Emmanuel’s dispirited morale, but even so, he went on to strictly say,

“Kan Bender was the one who betrayed the Wolf Warrior Unit. Although your

took his life later on, the actual mastermind is still at large. I don’t care

whether you’re back to avenge your deceased brothers, but I know you must

take responsibility and resume the mission!”

“Well…” Emmanuel became hesitant upon hearing that. After all, he didn’t

think about resuming his military career, but his vengeance had never

stopped reminding him to avenge his dead comrades.

4/5

The members of the Wolf Warrior Unit were rather close with each other, so

Emmanuel could never forget about the times they fought side by side in the

most life-threatening situations. Despite countless near-death experiences,

the bonds that they built between each other were stronger than the world’s

toughest shield.

Among the squad, Emmanuel used to call the youngest soldier Blockhead. He

once smiled and told Emmanuel that he would return home and visit his

family when the battle was over, but unfortunately, he didn’t live to see

another day during the battle. I will avenge you, Blockhead!

“What’s wrong? Did you get lost in the world out there? Is that why you refuse.

to return even until now?” Santiago teased Emmanuel, but deep down, he

knew how righteous and honest of a person his mentee was. After all,

Santiago’s granddaughter was deemed to be the prettiest lady in the

Northern Region. While she subtly expressed her feelings for Emmanuel to

him, the man didn’t seem to feel the same way, eventually leading to a

missed opportunity for them to be together. Because of that, Santiago didn’t

think Emmanuel would fall for any woman so easily, considering the fact that

he didn’t even fall for his beautiful granddaughter.

hapter 413

No way! Emmanuel nodded. “Yeah, there is indeed someone I can never

forget!”

“What?!” Santiago realized he had been wrong about Emmanuel, spitting the

tea out of his mouth in disbelief. What?! No way! thought the old man to

himself,

“It’s my mother. Her health has worsened these days. Since my sister is

already married, I reckon I must return home to look after her,” Emmanuel

responded sincerely.

Upon hearing Emmanuel’s reply, Santiago heaved a sigh of relief. For a

second, he thought Emmanuel had found someone he loved. Shortly after

that, he let out a sigh and nodded. Well, a true man should also care about

his family besides fighting for his country.

“Moreover, I already have a crush on someone, and I can’t just leave her

behind like that, which is why I don’t think I’m fit to fight on the battlefield

anymore.” Emmanuel’s next response left Santiago startled as he spat the

black tea on the former’s face.

“W-What did you just say? You have a crush on someone?!” Santiago was

stupefied. Goodness! If my granddaughter replaces out about this, she’s going to

make a big scene about it.

Emmanuel wiped off the droplets on his face, wondering why Santiago was

so agitated. What’s so surprising about having a crush on someone?

“In that case, I guess I have to tell you the situation about the Northern

Region.” Santiago eventually decided to tell Emmanuel about the Northern

Region after some hesitation, for he was afraid he would never see him again

if he made up his mind not to return.

Emmanuel nodded as he was concerned about the Northern Region as well.

After all, the place was like a second home to him.

“When you left the Northern Region back then, many people wanted to take

over your position as the new captain. Nevertheless, your outstanding

performance left a pair of big shoes to fill. Needless to say, whoever took over

your place often had to put up with the pressure of being severely criticized.

Because of that, the Wolf Warrior Unit became divided as everyone refused

to come together. As a result, many tough and difficult missions became

hard to accomplish, unlike how they used to be,” Santiago said despondently,

implying that Emmanuel’s return as the Wolf Warrior was the only way for the

squad to triumph like before.

Nevertheless, Emmanuel was seen with a complicated look on his face, but

even so, he didn’t accept his mentor’s offer, knowing he could never perform

as well as he used to.

Santiago became irritable. “Emmanuel, are you seriously going to stand by

and watch the Northern Region and the Wolf Warrior Unit fall?”

“You think too highly of me, Master! I have become nothing different from an

ordinary man ever since getting severely wounded three years ago.

Furthermore, I still have something I cannot forget. I’m sorry about that!”

replied Emmanuel helplessly.

“Alas, you’re such a disappointment, son! How many times have I taught you

this? Without our country, neither of us would survive until now. Have you

really forgotten your mission as a warrior for the Northern Region?” Santiago

let out a sigh once more.

How can I forget? Emmanuel thought to himself. Every warrior and soldier in

the Northern Region knew their purpose as they all had an obligation to fight

for Chanaea until their last breath.

When Emmanuel still hadn’t changed his mind even after Santiago’s

persistent persuasion, the latter sighed and said, “You took back the Wolf

Warrior Tablet, rascal! Naturally, you’re going to be his master! Furthermore,

even if you agree to return to the Northern Region, your reinstatement won’t

be easy either. Anyway, since you don’t want to come back, I’ll make an

exception for someone outside of the Wolf Warrior Unit to undertake a

triple-S class mission.”

“What kind of mission is that?” Emmanuel paused and asked. After all, he

didn’t think he was as fit as he used to be before, not to mention his

reluctance to return to the battlefield. Therefore, he didn’t understand why his

mentor still trusted him so much.

Chapter 414

“To take out the enemy of the country! The enemy who abetted Kan Bender

in betraying Chanaea! The enemy who put our country through so much

unimaginable suffering!” Santiago replied briefly, showing his trust in his

mentee, Emmanuel. Deep down, he trusted his own judgment about

Emmanuel, believing he could perform as well as he used to before despite

not being as fit as his former self.

Emmanuel was surprised, not expecting Santiago to assign him with such a

mission. “Master, I…”

“What’s wrong? Have you lost your guts or something?” Santiago interrupted

Emmanuel when the latter didn’t give him an affirmative answer. “It’s been

three years! The punishment that the country imposed on you back then is

no longer effective, so what are you waiting for? Don’t you want to avenge

your dead comrades? Don’t you want to do something about the humiliation

the Wolf Warrior Unit suffered, as well as the Northern Region’s defeat?”

Bang! Agitated, Santiago slammed the wooden table with his palm and

broke it into two. At the same time, the old man’s hair billowed in the air as his

sleeves fluttered in an intimidating manner. As the Northern Region’s

experienced commander, Santiago’s charismatic persona and persuasive

words seemingly awoke the passion within Emmanuel, who had left his

career for the past three years. “Avenge our brother! Kill our enemies!”

Emmanuel also echoed his mentor’s words.

As the atmosphere intensified with their emotions, Santiago went on to

bellow in anger, saying, “Those people would do anything for their personal

gains at the cost of the country’s interest. After so many years, that man is

still at large, and because he has a huge network of connections, he takes

advantage of the rich and powerful to cover for his tracks. Can you tolerate

this?”

“Who exactly is he?” Emmanuel asked with a glacial look on his face,

wondering what kind of relationship that mysterious person had with the

Zelinsky family.

Instead of answering Emmanuel’s question directly, Santiago placed a

brocade bag in front of Emmanuel. When Emmanuel opened it, he saw a

picture of an individual and, some documents related to the person’s identity.

At the sight of that, he felt goosebumps running all over his body, his eyes

filled with disbelief. “Well, I can’t force you to rejoin the squad if you insist, but

since you’ve accepted this mission, this is your payment. The contract will be

effective for two years, so don’t let me down.” Santiago then placed a golden

card right in front of Emmanuel.

“But…” Emmanuel was filled with mixed feelings, knowing the card was no

ordinary item when he glanced at it. I bet I’m going to have a lot of money to

spend with this card, but I’m someone who made a terrible mistake in the

past, so do I really deserve this?

Nonetheless, Santiago waved his hand, his agitated reaction slowly turning

into a benevolent and calm look. “These awards were given to you back then.

Thus, they belong to you. Now that you’ve killed Kan and returned to the

Northern Region once more, I’m just returning the things you left behind three

years ago to their rightful owner.”

Emmanuel felt touched, thinking Santiago was just like a loving father to him.

“By the way, if you’re going back, don’t go back directly to Yeringham!”

Santiago reminded Emmanuel after discussing important business with him.

Emmanuel nodded as a gesture that meant he understood Santiago,

showing he didn’t need his mentor to elaborate. After all, he knew how

important it was to keep his whereabouts mysterious. Furthermore, his plan

was to kill the main enemy behind the treason conducted against Chanaea,

which was all the more reason for him to lay low, or his enemy would know

he was onto them. Thus, he did everything he could to keep his whereabouts

a secret and was even thinking about taking a few days off in another city to

create some confusion.

Half a month later, Mackenzie was hosting a board meeting in the

conference room at Terence Group. “Mr. Schwartz, your on-time delivery date

has gone down by 30 percent this quarter. If this continues, you can prepare

your resignation letter this month.”

“Mr. Lanaway, it appears that your marketing strategy is working. Our next

target is to expand our reach to the Southwest region and increase our

coverage by 30 percent!”

hapter 415

“Mr. Langstrom, I’m counting on you to expand our business to the market in

the Southeast region.” Mackenzie spoke coldly, demonstrating her efficiency

in delegating duties. As soon as she dismissed the meeting, everybody else

left, whereupon she sat down in her seat in exhaustion. At that moment, Lexi

was the only one who was still keeping her company in the conference room.

“It’s been two weeks, but why hasn’t that moron responded to my message?”

Mackenzie gently rubbed her temples and murmured to herself, although

she sounded like she was asking someone a question.

As someone who knew Mackenzie well, Lexi had been carefully observing her

for the past few days. Until she saw how concerned Mackenzie was about

Emmanuel, she never thought her boss would miss a man so dearly.

Maybe it’s true that the power of love is unimaginable. Lexi nudged her own.

glasses, complimenting herself for making a smart move to stay single. It

looks like I’m doing the right thing without dating anyone, or I’m going to be

the one suffering.

“Answer me, Lexi.”

When Mackenzie set her piercing gaze upon Lexi, the latter felt shivers

running down her spine and quickly answered, “Ms. Quillen, everyone across

the city knows whom you’re looking for. They’re just not sure if you’re the one

who sent that message. We’ve done everything we could, but Emmanuel is

still nowhere to be found, which can only mean one thing-he is out of

Yeringham.

“Damn it!” Mackenzie clenched her fists. “I’m going to make him pay for this

when I replace him!”

Lexi couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of Mackenzie’s intimidating eyes,

thinking Emmanuel would never dare show up again if he saw her menacing

expression. Suddenly, Mackenzie heard a notification alert from her phone

and saw an incoming message. Upon skimming through the text, she was

seen with her mouth slightly wide agape, her face changing. The next

moment, she rose from her seat and walked straight out the door.

“Where are you going, Ms. Quillen?” Lexi asked in a panicky manner, following

closely behind Mackenzie.

“Onza!” Mackenzie gave a terse reply, leaving in a hurry without waiting for

anyone to come along with her. Upon rushing downstairs to the parking lot,

she entered her Maserati and drove to Onza straight away. It turned out that

the message she received not long ago was from Beatrix, who had informed

her of something related to Emmanuel’s whereabouts.

I can’t believe she actually found something about Emmanuel’s whereabouts

after skipping work for ten days. At that moment, Mackenzie’s mind was filled

with only Emmanuel, thinking, she would punish him terribly when she found

him. Finally, Emmanuel! I’m going to make you regret ghosting me! Hmph!

Putting her foot on the gas pedal, Mackenzie sped up on the road as she

couldn’t wait to arrive in Onza. At the same time, she couldn’t help but

question what was wrong with herself. After all, she didn’t feel quite like

herself as she had always disliked being anywhere close to any man until

Emmanuel entered her life. Since then, her life seemed to have changed so

much that she could never go back to the life she once had before he

showed up.

Having lived together with Emmanuel for nearly two months, Mackenzie was

already used to the life in which he prepared her daily meals and drove her

anywhere she wanted to go. Also, she had already grown used to frequently

interacting with Emmanuel’s family members. Thus, without Emmanuel, she

felt as if something was missing from her life. Also, she couldn’t stop thinking

about the last two times Emmanuel came to her rescue in a foolhardy

manner despite the dire situation she was in.

Just when Mackenzie was still absorbed in her thoughts, she began to enter

Onza’s main road when she found herself stuck in the traffic. Then, after she

took a closer look at what was going on ahead of her, her eyes were filled

with indifference.

Several people were standing in a circle with candles around them at the

junction. Then, a man was seen holding a bouquet, getting ready to confess

to a lady. She was the same person whom Emmanuel met during his

eighteenth speed date, Milani. As their romantic interaction drew the

attention of many bystanders, the traffic soon became congested, but the

duo wasn’t concerned by that as they seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in

the spotlight.

Chapter 416

Today, Milani was in an especially good mood. Previously, she had failed in

wooing Emmanuel and even disclosed a lot of mushy confessions because

she thought that she could achieve a lot by just making a small sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, Emmanuel already had a wife, and it was pointless for her to

cling to him. After all, a woman with her qualifications shouldn’t stoop down

to be a third party in someone’s relationship.

More importantly, Emmanuel was financially dependent on his wealthy wife,

and it would make her the gigolo’s second-hand lover if she asked him to

provide for her instead. Just the thought of this idea seemed ridiculous, so

she had no other choice but to give up. So, she moved to Onza, too

embarrassed to remain in Yeringham.

Alas, she managed to entrap a rich man. Finally, after all her efforts, the man

was going to publicly confess to her, which made her feel that she was the

main female character in one of the novels.

“Give me a kiss, baby.” The man had a white suit and looked a little pampered

and noble-just like a kid born with a silver spoon-despite having greasy skin

problems. Also, he looked a few years younger than Milani.

“Honey, you haven’t gone down on one knee to confess yet!” There was no

way Milani would agree to his proposal so easily. Even though she loved

money, she was after romance and status, too. Does he think that I’m just a

club hostess if he could just ask anything of me in public?

The man’s name was Noah Lofis, the son of a wealthy man in Onza, and had

a lot of experience playing the field. He could come up with any means to

please a woman and was ready to bend his knee just to get a kiss from

Milani. Unfortunately, an accident happened right then.

Suddenly, Mackenzie marched into the scene, raised her long leg, and kicked

the candles around, instantly putting out more than half of them. “Get out of

the way and don’t be a hindrance on the road! Get rid of this quickly or I’ll run

you over with my car. Just try me if you don’t believe me.” After she spat out

her order, she twirled around and stomped back to her car. Getting things

done in a swift manner had always been her way.

Oh no, this is bad! Many from the scene were shocked, their jaws hanging as

they watched Mackenzie’s indifferent, heartless silhouette, and when she was

back in her car, they slowly realized what just happened.

Even Milani was dumbstruck. When she came to her senses, she was so

enraged that she almost went berserk. Who the hell is this b*tch? Is she

having menopause? How dare she destroy my romantic moment!

Suddenly, someone gasped. “Hey, look at that beautiful woman. I think she’s

really going to run them over with her car!”

“Really? I don’t think she’ll really do it. A woman doesn’t have the guts to—

F*ck! She’s actually doing it! Run!”

“That woman is crazy! Ah!”

Just a second ago, the crowd who was watching the commotion didn’t

believe that Mackenzie would drive over with her car, but the next second,

they were scrambling for their lives.

“Ah, that crazy b*tch-” A shocked Milani staggered away in fear and

stumbled to the ground when someone stepped on her heels.

Swoosh!

4/4

Luckily, Mackenzie’s driving skills were not bad and she could swerve past the

people through the gaps between them and didn’t hit Milani.

After the Maserati zoomed past, only then did Milani dare to open her eyes,

as though she had narrowly escaped death. She panted as she shrieked,

“That woman has lost her mind! She’s crazy!”

Slowly, the bystanders gathered around and started to gush, “Damn, this is

the first time in my life I’ve ever seen a woman with such guts!”

Chapter 417

“Yeah, this is just… too domineering, isn’t it?”

Surprisingly, many people thought Mackenzie’s previous appearance was

very cool!

However, Noah Lofis was infuriated as he scrambled to his feet, swearing all

sorts of foul curses. Then, he shouted, “Quickly replace out who that woman is for

me! She’s simply courting death! She’d better pray I never get my hands on

her, or I’ll definitely kill her!”

He had two followers at the scene as well, who immediately approached and

said, “Mr. Lofis, I’ve noted down the license plate number. We’ll definitely replace

out who she is for you. Give us some time!”

Milani coldly snorted upon hearing their conversation as her eyes were filled

with vengeful anticipation.

The situation just happened too suddenly, and she didn’t get a clear look at

that woman. She only thought that Noah had great influence, and as long as

they found that woman, they would surely be able to deal with that harpy!

On the other hand, Mackenzie didn’t take what just happened seriously at all.

Was obstructing traffic openly considered reasonable these days?

She was driving while having a conversation via Bluetooth and giving orders,

“Lexi, I’ve run all the red lights I could from Yeringham to Onza in my Maserati.

Help me pay the fines in advance!”

On the other end, Lexi was momentarily rendered speechless by Mackenzie’s

sudden wild side.

After she came to her senses, she immediately said, “Yes, Ms. Mackenzie, but

may I ask, do you have to be this domineering? What exactly are you

planning to do that requires you to rush like this? I’ve never seen you so

restless even when negotiating a 150 million deal!”

“I’ve found Emmanuel. That b*stard is in Onza!”

She didn’t have time to explain in detail to Lexi and hung up after that

sentence.

Soon, the Maserati stopped at a civilian apartment on the outskirts of Onza.

“Beatrix, is Emmanuel here?” Mackenzie got out of the car and immediately

hurriedly asked her sister, who was standing outside the apartment.

“Wow, did you fly over?” Beatrix was stunned. It hadn’t even been two hours

since she sent a message to inform Mackenzie, and Mackenzie had already

made a cross–city transfer??)

“Don’t waste time. Tell me what’s going on!”

“Erm… I found Emmanuel, but it seems like he isn’t here right now!”

Beatrix sighed helplessly.

She only came to Onza to try her luck after she failed to replace him in

Yeringham. As she had a friend working in city institutions, she asked for a

favor. That friend swiftly conducted a keyword search and actually found a

few records.

After she ruled out the incorrect ones, she finally arrived at this hotel and had

That dummy was truly clueless. What was the use of coming to a place like

this to feel sad and alone? Couldn’t he have the courage to embrace her?

It’s not like he hasn’t done this before! Is he still a man? Why does he keep

regressing the longer he lives?

“How long did this guy rent the room for? When did he leave?” Mackenzie

asked the hotel owner.

“Um, he rented it for almost half a month and checked out this morning!”

Jude answered truthfully.

“This morning?”

Mackenzie furrowed her brow in thought. How coincidental was that? Did he

just happen to leave, or did he realize that she was searching for him

everywhere and decided to change his location to evade her clutches?

Men were really troublesome creatures!

In the Quillen residence, Terence received the distress message from

Mackenzie and was equally thrilled. He immediately shouted, “Alfred! Quickly!

Mobilize some people and bring that brat Emmanuel back for me!”

He was even more anxious than Mackenzie!

His granddaughter could afford to wait, but given his age and physical

condition, he didn’t have any time left to spare!

If they didn’t replace Emmanuel soon, Terence might not live long enough to see

the birth of the Quillen family’s great–grandchild. Then, who would inherit the

vast Quillen family estate and wealth?

In the hotel, Jude was about to tease Mackenzie after seeing that she was

lingering for so long. He was almost fifty years old himself, and his daughter

was almost the same age as Mackenzie, but he had never seen such a

graceful and elegant beauty before!

The only downside was that this beauty was too arrogant, and her way of

speaking was too juvenile. Searching the whole city for someone? Had she

read too many novels about domineering CEOS?

Those were the actions of a CEO, so what was she trying to prove as a

woman?

Alas, there was suddenly a commotion outside the apartment door before

he could bring that little tidbit to attention.

Mackenzie completely ignored the approaching Jude and walked past him

toward the door.

-Hé also hurriedly walked out, and as soon as he saw what was happening,

his eyes almost popped out of his head!

“What… what’s going on?”

He could feel himself shaking. Dozens of cars suddenly appeared in front of

his hotel bringing along hundreds of people!

Oh, my goodness, this is too terrifying!

Luckily, Jude had just heard Mackenzie mention searching the whole city, or

he might have mistaken them for troublemakers coming for him. If that

happened, he would probably wet his pants on the spot!

Just as I thought, this woman is so domineering. It turns out she’s truly a

domineering CEO?!

Jude sighed inwardly and felt his cheeks heating up. Fortunately, he hadn’t

uttered those teasing words, or how could he possibly give himself an out

now?

“Ms. Mackenzie, please give your orders!”

The hundreds of people were divided into two groups, but they all obeyed

Mackenzie’s command to search for Emmanuel.

5/5

“Search the entire city and notify me immediately when you replace Emmanuel!”

Mackenzie issued her orders from her position, looking just like a commander.

“Yes, Ma’am!”

It was that dummy’s hair!

Mackenzie had mysophobia. She used to often replace Emmanuel’s hair at

home. At first, she would throw them into the trash bin with utter disgust, but

later on, she became used to it.

Now, she even picked it up and held it tightly in her hand like a precious

treasure. In the next moment, her beautiful eyes turned slightly red–rimmed.

“If I had known you would be hurt so deeply and if I had known it would lead

to Claudette’s death, I wouldn’t have played games and divorced you back

then!”

“If you hadn’t left my side, none of the things that followed would have

happened.”

“A house without you feels so lonely when I’m living alone!”

Mackenzie’s murmuring voice was barely audible, but Beatrix could still

vaguely hear some of the contents, and Mackenzie’s expression was quite

fascinating!

She had known that Mackenzie liked Emmanuel, but she hadn’t expected that

Mackenzie had actually fallen in love with him!

Oh, can you believe it? This scene is so incredible! If I go back and tell my

aunts and cousins, they will never believe it! Hehe.

“Emmanuel, you dummy. Where are you?”

Mackenzie sighed softly and carefully put Emmanuel’s hair into her pocket.

Days passed and it brought nothing but disappointment. Even with over a

hundred people conducting a blanket search in the Onza, and with Lexi and

Beatrix mobilizing the information networks of the Quillen family and the

Summerton family, there was still no trace of Emmanuel.

The next morning, Mackenzie couldn’t hold back her impatience anymore

and decided to go out and search on her own.

She didn’t even know where to start looking for that dummy. Moreover, she

was well aware that if Emmanuel was determined to avoid her, it would be

difficult for her to replace him, even with her abundant wealth.

Regardless, she was always the one that never accepted defeat. Besides,

she would make sure to be on the winning side even in a game of

hide–and–seek!

This time, she had to win against that dummy!

Mackenzie didn’t even realize where she had ended up as she mindlessly

wandered around. Suddenly, she raised her gaze and found herself in front of

a large hotel.

Although the hotel was beautiful, the Quillen family owned far more luxurious

hotels than this one, so it didn’t catch her attention at all.

She stopped outside the entrance because she saw the sign of the hotel’s

restaurant, which featured a delicious lemon butter garlic salmon dish.

She remembered that Emmanuel loved to make this dish. He would also

often go on and on that eating lemon would stimulate the appetite and that

eating fish was not only good for one’s health but also good for the brain.

At that time, Mackenzie had teased him while saying, “Well, you really need to

Chapter 418

“Mackenzie, it’s possible that Emmanuel found out someone was looking for

him, so he left early!” Beatrix immediately speculated.

Mackenzie felt her frown deepen. Could it be true?

She knew Emmanuel very well. That man appeared foolish, but he had strong

observational skills. It was possible that he had sensed someone was looking

for him and decided to flee.

Was he still avoiding her?

Why?

Well, she didn’t care whether it was true. Instead, she immediately took out

her phone and instructed, “Lexi, send someone to Onza to replace Emmanuel! It

doesn’t matter if we have to dig for clues, search the whole city! I need to replace

that infuriating man!”

Jude couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing the one–sided conversation.

Search the whole city?

This woman was great in every aspect, but she seemed rather addled. Who

did she think she was? The richest person in the city?

Onza was vast, and for them to replace one person was like replaceing a needle in a

haystack, let alone searching the entire city. It was nothing but a pipe dream!

Mackenzie naturally didn’t care about the thoughts of such insignificant

people. After she hung up the phone, she felt that relying solely on Lexi’s

arrangements might not be enough for the outcome she desired. So, after

she gave it a moment of thought, she sent a message to her grandfather as

well.

Now that she was certain that Emmanuel, that dummy, was in Onza, she

wouldn’t let him slip away from her again!

Even if that man truly wanted to leave her, he had to explain everything to

her. Otherwise, she would never allow it!

“Fantastic! You finally found that brat Emmanuel!”

In the Quillen residence, Terence received the distress message from

Mackenzie and was equally thrilled. He immediately shouted, “Alfred! Quickly!

Mobilize some people and bring that brat Emmanuel back for me!”

He was even more anxious than Mackenzie!

His granddaughter could afford to wait, but given his age and physical

condition, he didn’t have any time left to spare!

If they didn’t replace Emmanuel soon, Terence might not live long enough to see

the birth of the Quillen family’s great–grandchild. Then, who would inherit the

vast Quillen family estate and wealth?

In the hotel, Jude was about to tease Mackenzie after seeing that she was

lingering for so long. He was almost fifty years old himself, and his daughter

was almost the same age as Mackenzie, but he had never seen such a

graceful and elegant beauty before!

The only downside was that this beauty was too arrogant, and her way of

speaking was too juvenile. Searching the whole city for someone? Had she

read too many novels about domineering CEOS?

Those were the actions of a CEO, so what was she trying to prove as a

woman?

Alas, there was suddenly a commotion outside the apartment door before

he could bring that little tidbit to attention.

Mackenzie completely ignored the approaching Jude and walked past him

toward the door.

He also hurriedly walked out, and as soon as he saw what was happening,

his eyes almost popped out of his head!

“What… what’s going on?”

4/5

He could feel himself shaking. Dozens of cars suddenly appeared in front of

his hotel bringing along hundreds of people!

Oh, my goodness, this is too terrifying!

Luckily, Jude had just heard Mackenzie mention searching the whole city, or

he might have mistaken them for troublemakers coming for him. If that

happened, he would probably wet his pants on the spot!

Just as I thought, this woman is so domineering. It turns out she’s truly a

domineering CEO?!

Jude sighed inwardly and felt his cheeks heating up. Fortunately, he hadn’t

uttered those teasing words, or how could he possibly give himself an out

now?

“Ms. Mackenzie, please give your orders!”

The hundreds of people were divided into two groups, but they all obeyed

Mackenzie’s command to search for Emmanuel.

“Search the entire city and notify me immediately when you replace Emmanuel!”

Mackenzie issued her orders from her position, looking just like a commander.

“Yes, Ma’am!”

Chapter 419

Hundreds of people quickly got into their vehicles and disappeared from the

front of the hotel in an instant.

Jude felt like he was in a dream. Was there a film crew here to shoot a

movie? Were the people extras? If he accidentally appeared on camera,

would they give him some compensation?

However, Mackenzie paid no attention to his thoughts. After she gave orders

for a city–wide search, she walked directly into the hotel and entered the

room where Emmanuel had stayed for over ten days.

“Mackenzie, what are you going to do?”

Beatrix followed Mackenzie into the room and wondered why her sister would

come in when Emmanuel had already left.

Mackenzie didn’t answer Beatrix. Instead, she searched the room and her

gaze suddenly stopped on the floor.

There was a strand of black hair.

1TM

It was that dummy’s hair!

Mackenzie had mysophobia. She used to often replace Emmanuel’s hair at

home. At first, she would throw them into the trash bin with utter disgust, but

later on, she became used to it.

Now, she even picked it up and held it tightly in her hand like a precious

treasure. In the next moment, her beautiful eyes turned slightly red–rimmed.

“If I had known you would be hurt so deeply and if I had known it would lead

to Claudette’s death, I wouldn’t have played games and divorced you back

then!”
