A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO Novel Full Episode
A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO Chapter 441-450

Chapter 441

Roselynn and Alessandra also knew that he had returned to Yeringham!

“Manny, you have finally returned! Don’t you dare run off alone like a fool

again. Remember to talk to me if you have any problems!”

“That’s right; even if the whole world betrays you, I will always stand by your

side!”

Emmanuel felt a bit guilty upon hearing their heartfelt notions. He had gone

to the Northern Region, leaving his family plagued with worries. “Mom,

Roselynn, I understand! I didn’t go into hiding. Didn’t I leave a letter for you?”

Although he had said those words, Alessandra and Roselynn didn’t believe

him and they thought he was being stubborn and unwilling to admit to

certain matters.

However, they were considerate and wanted to leave Emmanuel with a little

dignity. Since Emmanuel said so, they pretended to believe him.

“Manny, how are you getting along with Mackenzie now?”

Alessandra quickly shifted her concern to her son and daughter-in-law’s life

as marriage was like a fresh start in life.

“Mom, I get along very well with Mackenzie!” Emmanuel hurriedly answered, “I

was washing dishes with Mackenzie earlier.”

“What? What’s going on? How could you let Mackenzie do such things?”

Although Alessandra loved her son, she didn’t like hearing that Mackenzie

was doing chores. “Manny, you should take good care of your wife! Mackenzie

has already helped our family a lot and is busy with work. You should let her

rest more when she comes home!”

At that moment, Mackenzie had just finished taking a shower and walked out.

She overheard the conversation between Alessandra and Emmanuel, and

she felt touched. Compared to her biological mother, Felicity, she felt that

Alessandra was the one who genuinely cared for her.

As for why Mackenzie had such a feeling…

Even she wasn’t very clear about it herself.

“Mom, I understand! With me at home, I will never let Mackenzie do any rough

or dirty work again!” Emmanuel quickly assured, patting his chest.

Although he agreed with his mother’s words, he couldn’t help but feel like

Mackenzie was his mother’s biological daughter while he was merely an

adopted child. Maybe he was even a child Alessandra found under the

bridge.

Roselynn listened by the side and didn’t replace anything inappropriate about

what Alessandra said. She sighed. “Manny, Mom is right! Mackenzie is a

treasure. You need to cherish her and never quarrel with her again. If you lose

her, you will regret it for the rest of your life!”

“Roselynn, I understand.”

Emmanuel nodded, and his gaze happened to fall on Mackenzie.

The cold and beautiful CEO was wearing a white, thin-as-a-cicada’s-wing

nightgown. Her beautiful and pure body seemed to possess an enchanting allure, instantly captivating Emmanuel.

Chapter 441 Jaxton Pushed Mom

Mackenzie was usually cold and distant, but at this moment, her look of

satisfaction resembled that of a little girl. She then raised her head, as if to

say, See, your mother and sister have good taste.

4/5

Roselynn continued to ramble, “Manny, your wife is a hundred times better

than the man I married. He’s always expecting me to finish the household

chores. The moment I have even a little downtime for myself, he looks

displeased, as if he can’t stand it! Not only that, but he had also pushed Mom

recently. At this point, I doubt he even views me as his wife!”

She had wanted to say these words to someone for a long time, but

Alessandra felt that she had finally gotten married and that a couple should

compromise with each other to get through life, so Alessandra asked her to

bear with it.

Now that her younger brother had finally returned, she naturally wanted to

vent her feelings, hoping that he would speak for her.

Sure enough, when Emmanuel heard this, he immediately became furious. “Roselynn, what did you just say? Jaxton pushed Mom? What happened?”

His mother was a sore spot for him. She had worked hard to raise the two

siblings, toiling away for most of her life. Now that he had grown up, he

absolutely would not allow anyone to bully his mother!

Mackenzie also hurried over because she hadn’t known about this incident.

She knew that her judgment of people was never wrong. Unlike Emmanuel,

Jaxton was a hypocritical guy. He would deliberately act submissive in order

to curry Roselynn’s favor, but deep down, he probably wanted to trample her

under his feet, making her submit to him!

Chapter 442

“Manny, don’t listen to your sister! I’m fine!” Alessandra quickly intervened

before Roselynn could spill the beans. She wanted to prevent Roselynn from

revealing the extent of her injuries.

Emmanuel understood his mother’s selfless nature. She always prioritized

others over herself, and she didn’t want to jeopardize his relationship with his

brother-in-law.

So, she chose to keep the matter hidden. Sure enough, Alessandra spoke

highly of Jaxton, assuring Emmanuel that Jaxton didn’t mean any harm. She

even urged him to persuade his sister to reconcile with Jaxton swiftly.

Alessandra even mentioned that couples often had arguments but

reconciled by the end of the day, and that Roselynn should be a good wife.

Of course, Emmanuel wouldn’t agree to that. He had promised not to let his

sister suffer. However, he also didn’t want to go against his mother. So, he

simply stated that it was Roselynn’s decision to make, and they shouldn’t

pressure her.

After he ended the call, Mackenzie approached him. She had a pristine white

towel draped over her shoulders. As she was drying her damp hair, she

remarked, “Jaxton doesn’t seem like a good man. Tell your sister to leave him

and replace someone new! If she’s interested, I can even introduce her to

someone!”

Well, that was quite considerate of Mackenzie. After all, the esteemed CEO of

the Terence Group, known for her icy demeanor, was offering to set up his

sister-a fact that would be hard to believe for those familiar with her

professional persona.

Emmanuel also felt her extraordinary kindness toward his family. However, his

gaze remained fixed on her figure. She sensed his stare, followed his line of

sight, and glanced down. Only then did she realize that her neckline had

come undone, briefly revealing a glimpse of her alluring cleavage in front of

this man.

“What are you looking at? If you keep ogling my chest, I might just gouge your

eyes out!” She pointed her finger at him, issuing a stern threat.

His face immediately turned crimson as he hastily turned away and

explained, “Ms. Quillen, I didn’t mean to look. It’s just that it appeared as

though you were deliberately trying to entice me. Please be more careful

next time, or I might not be able to control myself.”

Her eyes widened in disbelief. What had just happened? How dare he accuse

her, the esteemed Ms. Quillen, of seducing him? Despite the fact that she

allowed him to catch a glimpse of her body, he had the audacity to shift the

blame onto her. Did this idiot not realize how fortunate he was? If she were to

lift her clothes slightly, the men in Yeringham would be overwhelmed with

excitement and suffocate.

Still, even though she was annoyed, she couldn’t help but notice Emmanuel

blushing for the first time. Well, it seemed gynecologists were also interested

in women’s bodies! The thought brought a smile to her face.

Although she was rather annoyed, she also couldn’t help but feel a sense of

pride. She couldn’t help but think of Claudette’s diary and believe that her

charm surpassed Claudette’s on a different level. After all, Claudette was

already recognized as the acclaimed goddess in Yeringham, a level above

her. What level would she be at now?

He couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you laughing, Ms. Quillen?” He observed

Mackenzie, who had initially been angry, suddenly displaying a proud smile.

Unexpectedly, she let out a cold snort as her face smoothed out into a

serious expression. Then, she simply returned to her room. This flustered him.

Mackenzie was perfect in every way, except for her sudden change in mood.

He still couldn’t decipher her temperament even after she had spent a good

amount of time with her. He assumed she had gone back to her room to

sleep, but then she came out again, holding a document between her

fingers.

He immediately recognized the document as the divorce agreement he had

signed before. The instant he laid his eyes on it, he started breaking out in

nervous sweat. He even tried to lighten the mood as he teased, “Did you go

to such lengths to drag me back just to understand what the divorce

agreement is about?”

“Call me Ms. Quillen one more time, and I’ll sign a document just like this

again.” She simply wanted to see who was more reluctant to divorce-her or

Emmanuel.

Luckily, although Emmanuel hadn’t fully grasped her temperament, he knew

she was competitive. So, he quickly compromised, saying, “I won’t call you

that again if you don’t like it. There’s no need to threaten me, okay?”

Suddenly, her angry expression was replaced with a smile. “So, you’re afraid

of my threats? It seems like you’re fond of me.

Chapter 443

Emmanuel couldn’t contain his laughter at Mackenzie’s childish expression.

“Do we really need to compare things like this?” he chuckled.

“Of course! If a woman marries a man who loves her less, she’s at a

significant disadvantage,” Mackenzie replied seriously. Deep down, she

worried that he might take offense or feel unhappy with her words. However,

his response surprised her. Instead of getting upset, he said, “Well, it looks like

I’ll have to love you even more in the future. Otherwise, you’ll be at a

disadvantage!”

The atmosphere in the room shifted with that simple statement, leaving

Mackenzie stunned as she stared at him, utterly agog. His words came

straight from his heart, and this time he could truly feel the love Mackenzie

had for him-something he hadn’t realized before. Of course, he also felt the

depth of his own love for her, surpassing the initial infatuation he had

experienced.

Their eyes locked, and suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to ignite. Then, Emmanuel took a step forward as if he was entranced, gently caressing her

cheek with the back of his hand. The smooth and tender sensation intensified

the burning feeling in his heart. At that moment, even the most oblivious

person would recognize that what he felt was love.

His body felt an intense heat driven by his primitive instincts, and his courage

swelled to an unprecedented level. Before he knew it, he found himself lightly

holding her face, his head tilting down to meet her soft cherry lips.

Simultaneously, Mackenzie’s body trembled intensely. Once again, this man

kisséd her! Annoyingly, though, this time it felt different from before. Although

she instinctively put up a meager fight, her body responded to the pleasure,

as if she was melting away. She slowly closed her eyes, ready to let

Emmanuel take what he desired.

However, it seemed as though Emmanuel had suddenly regained his senses.

His face flushed with embarrassment, and he quickly took two steps back,

apologizing profusely, “I’m sorry! I… I didn’t mean to!” Mackenzie widened-her

eyes in disbelief, staring at his apologetic expression. Was this man a fool?

She hadn’t resisted him at all, so why did he stop and apologize?

She was unable to bear his apologies any longer, so she slapped him across

the face and spoke coldly, “You’re in trouble if you dare to do this again next

time!” After she delivered him a stern talking to, she turned around with a

flushed face and retreated back into the room. She leaned against the door,

and pressed a hand against her chest, feeling her heart pound.

Emmanuel covered his face, consumed by regret. When did he become this

kind of person? Acting like a pervert and taking the initiative like that was not

who he wanted to be. He sighed, realizing that his lack of self-control was to

blame. It was all because Mackenzie had charmed him with her everything.

He résolved not to repeat his actions in the future, fearing that his wife would

become enraged and ignore him.

The next morning, Emmanuel woke up early and found that Mackenzie had

already risen and freshened up. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Aren’t you Ms.

Quillen from the Quillen family? You’re the female CEO of the company. Why

are you heading to work earlier than the employees?”

She retorted, “You’re not sleeping in either! Is there a rule that bosses can’t

start work earlier than the employees?”

Surprisingly, he nodded earnestly and replied, “Well, I just worry about you.

Other bosses are all relaxed and carefree. Why do you have to work so hard?”

His somewhat foolish yet genuine question once again made her heart

flutter.

Chapter 444

“I really didn’t expect this!” Mackenzie paused for a moment before bursting

into laughter and teased, “Are you naturally skilled at wooing your wife, or did

you take a course on seducing goddesses in the past half month?”

However, Emmanuel remained serious as he replied, “Don’t misunderstand

1. I’m not trying to woo you. I’m just speaking the truth!” If he had been so

adept at flirting from the beginning, why would he have needed to go on

eighteen blind dates?

Mackenzie narrowed her eyes, enjoying the fact that he could say cheesy

things with such earnestness, even if he seemed utterly oblivious to it

himself.

“Hmph, I like going to work early, and you have no say in it! And I expect you

to drive me to work early every day. What can you do about it?” She crossed

her arms and assumed an unreasonable attitude.

What could he do? Of course, he would obediently comply with whatever

unreasonable requests his wife threw at him!

So, before the clock struck 7.00AM, the diligent couple had already entered

the underground parking lot of their residential area. The parking lot felt chilly

in the winter, devoid of any other people.

She breathed onto her hands, dropping hints for Emmanuel. Alas, as the man

was terribly clueless, he didn’t catch on to the gesture and continued to look

around, much to her frustration. Did she really have to take the initiative to

hold a man’s hand? Did he truly think she didn’t care about maintaining her

goddess-like demeanor? Outrageous! Furthermore, he didn’t even open the

car door for her like a gentleman and suddenly sprinted off somewhere!

“This fool!” Mackenzie was on the verge of cursing but then noticed him

returning, grabbing a man by the collar who had been hiding in the corner,

and forcefully throwing him to the ground.

At this point, she wasn’t sure how to evaluate Emmanuel. He might be

absent-minded and clueless, but his observational skills were even sharper

than hers. She hadn’t even realized they were being followed! Yet, he seemed

oblivious to her hints, no matter how obvious they were.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel remained unaware of Mackenzie’s disparaging

thoughts. Instead, he found a phone on the man, looked through it, and

questioned, “Hiding in the parking lot early in the morning during winter just to

secretly film women. Are you insane?”

Mackenzie furrowed her eyebrows as she stared at the man on the ground,

feeling a sense of familiarity.

“I can’t believe you! Although my wife is beautiful, she dresses modestly, not

revealing even an inch of skin. So, what exactly were you trying to capture?

Apologize to my wife right now!” Emmanuel angrily confronted the man, after

replaceing evidence of him secretly filming Mackenzie on his phone. This

enraged Emmanuel, and he couldn’t fathom what kind of fantasies this man

could derive from such actions.

“Mr. Lowe, you misunderstood! I’m not a pervert. The situation is not what you

think!” The man, pressed down by Emmanuel, anxiously tried to explain.

“Not a pervert? Are you going to claim that you were secretly filming me instead?” Emmanuel asked sternly, leaving Mackenzie speechless once

again. The man on the ground stared at him, confused by Emmanuel’s peculiar accusation.

“Who sent you? My mother or grandpa?” Mackenzie, being astute,

immediately deduced the man’s background.

Only then did Emmanuel realize his mistake.

“Speak up, or I won’t spare you!” Mackenzie demanded coldly.

Chapter 445

The man quickly stammered an explanation, “Ms. Quillen, it was your… your

grandpa who sent me. He wanted me to observe and confirm if you and Mr.

Lowe couldn’t resist each other and… well, you know, get intimate last night.”

The situation was becoming increasingly awkward.

Emmanuel couldn’t help but look at Mackenzie, realizing that her grandpa’s

desire for great-grandchildren was more fervent than he had anticipated.

Mackenzie grew even more frustrated and snapped, “Run back where you

came from and tell Grandpa that if he ever dares to pull a stunt like this

again, I will definitely divorce Emmanuel!” Emmanuel thought to himself, Why

is this my problem? I’m innocent!

The man nodded in agreement but continued to stare at Mackenzie as she

entered the car, trying to determine from her walking style whether she was

still a virgin. Alas, no matter how he observed, her walking appeared normal

and not indicative of any discomfort.

As Terence woke up in the morning at the Quillen residence, Alfred handed

2/5

him a mouthwash and whispered, “Mr. Quillen, it seems that Ms. Quillen is still

a virgin. She walks normally, and it appears that Emmanuel didn’t take

advantage of the situation last night!”

Terence let out a deep sigh. “Is that guy even a real man? I might have to

consider replacing him judging from the situation. It’s been over two months,

and is it really that difficult for him to handle a woman?”

Alfred quickly smiled and said, “Ms. Quillen is not just any ordinary woman. Please be patient a little longer!”

“Patience can be maddening. I don’t know how much longer my old bones

can hold on!” Terence expressed his growing anxiety. “I understand that

Mackenzie is no ordinary woman, but do you think Emmanuel is an ordinary

man?”

Alfred was taken aback by the question and responded swiftly, “That guy is definitely extraordinary. I had a professional tailing Mackenzie, but Emmanuel immediately noticed and confronted him. Emmanuel’s skills are on par with those of a martial arts grandmaster!”

Terence chuckled upon hearing that. “That’s precisely why I insisted on

having Mackenzie marry him. I can have peace of mind knowing he’s there to

protect her!”

“I see.” Alfred nodded, indicating his understanding of Terence’s intentions.

“I can’t even uncover Emmanuel’s background! All I know is that he served in

the military for eight years before retiring. My bet is he’s the Northern Wolf!”

Terence shared his thoughts openly. Alfred had served Terence for over 30

years and was a trusted confidant who could be relied upon with any

information.

Alfred inhaled sharply upon hearing the revelation. “No wonder Emmanuel’s

skills are so exceptional. If that’s the case, he is truly deserving of Ms. Quillen.

Having him join the family will significantly boost our strength!”

“Indeed.” Terence nodded. Then, he instructed Alfred, “Since Mackenzie and

Emmanuel’s relationship has entered a stable period, it’s time to let him

assist Mackenzie.”

Alfred nodded at Terence’s order. The Quillen family controlled a variety of

industries, so even though Mackenzie had outstanding abilities, she still

needed a man to support her.

On the other hand, after dropping Mackenzie off at work, Emmanuel returned

to the hospital and ran into Darren. Darren wore an expression of disbelief as

he coldly approached and asked, “Why are you still here in our hospital?”

Emmanuel understood the implication behind Darren’s words and furrowed

his brow slightly. Had he been fired during the time he hadn’t been at the

hospital for nearly half a month?

“What brings you here?” At that moment, Frederick approached the two. He

wore a complex expression as he walked up to Emmanuel and said excitedly,

“They said you left Yeringham and would never return! But I don’t believe it.

You’re not the type to be a coward!”

Emmanuel was taken aback. He wondered who had spread rumors about

him while he was away. He had never stated that he would never return to

Yeringham!

“Now that you’re back, you should go and speak to Mr. Leonhart to reclaim

your position!” Frederick quickly reminded Emmanuel. Unfortunately, Darren

chimed in with a disparaging sneer, “Don’t bother. Beacon Hospital can no

longer accommodate you. You’ll only end up humiliating yourself if you go

looking for Mr. Leonhart.”

Chapter 446

“What is the meaning of this?” Looking at Darren, Emmanuel asked with a

frown. Milani was the start of their grievances. In fact, the last time

Emmanuel’s mother was admitted, Darren tried to make things difficult for

both of them.

As such, he was afraid that Emmanuel bore a grudge and would retaliate

against him at any given moment. Naturally, he was thrilled that Emmanuel

was going to be fired. From then on, he wouldn’t have to be wary of him

anymore. “Haha! I can’t believe the nerve of you to ask this! Did you think

there aren’t any rules and regulations in this hospital? It’s reasonable to fire

you since you have been absent from work for nearly half a month. If I were

you, I would be too ashamed to return!” With that, he left with a smirk on his

face.

Emmanuel was puzzled as he recalled asking Frederick to help him ask for a

leave of absence. Why did it turn out like that?

The moment Frederick saw his expression, he immediately knew what

Emmanuel was thinking. As such, he quickly explained the situation, “I tried to

ask for a leave of absence on your behalf, but Dr. Barnes said that a long

leave of absence requires the person involved to meet her personally.

Otherwise, it would be invalid.”

Naturally, Emmanuel believed in him. In addition to that, he believed that she

wasn’t that heartless of a person to fire him. After all, she was quite nice to

him in the past.

When they arrived at her office, the formerly amiable Dr. Barnes said

unexpectedly, “Emmanuel, according to the rules and regulations of this

hospital, you have been fired. Please pack your bags and replace another job!”

“Dr. Barnes, how could you be so unreasonable? Emmanuel has his reasons…

Frederick wanted to intercede for Emmanuel but was held back by him

instead.

The moment Emmanuel noticed the expression on her face, he instantly

realized that this hospital could not accommodate him any longer.

At that moment, Darren was standing at the entrance. He smirked in secret

when he saw the hot soup that Emmanuel had gotten himself into.

The moment Emmanuel and Frederick were prepared to leave the office, Dr.

Barnes called out to him.

Frederick thought that the situation could be turned around. As such, he gave

Darren a snort of derision.

Unexpectedly, however, Dr. Barnes merely said icily, “Emmanuel, you should

give up on becoming a doctor. Even if you were to go to the other hospitals in

Yeringham, none of them would bother to take you in.”

“Why?!” Finally, Emmanuel couldn’t help but get work up. He had already

accepted the fact that he was going to be fired from Beacon Hospital.

However, why did that mean that nobody in the medical community in

Yeringham would recruit him?”

“Are you feigning ignorance?”

Not only was there a hint of contempt in her gaze, there was anger in there as well. “Hospitals would never recruit doctors with no morals, How could you

hide behind the skirts of a woman?! You simply aren’t worthy of being called

a man!”

“Erm…”

Frederick was shocked when he heard this. Was she truly talking about

Emmanuel?

On the other hand, Emmanuel was even more surprised by this as he

thought to himself who on earth would spread such a rumor?

Finally, he understood the true reason behind his dismissal. It seemed that it

was because of the influence of the Lenoir family. Come to think of it, Dr.

Barnes had the same surname as well! “Dr. Barnes, are you sure you have

done a thorough investigation on this matter? You shouldn’t blurt out

something without thinking and frame a good person!” Frederick still couldn’t

help but defend Emmanuel.

-Upon hearing that, Dr. Barnes became emotional as well. She bellowed, “General Lenoir confirmed this matter. How could he be wrong about this?! My only regret was that we have been deceived by some people who looked

decent on the outside, but turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing during

critical moments.”

“Dr. Barnes!”

“It’s fine, Frederick!”

Emmanuel stopped Frederick before he could defend him again. Then, he

sighed and said, “My conscience is clear.”

He knew that it was futile to explain his innocence to those who did not

believe him in the first place. He was certain that the people who trusted him

would not have believed him to be capable of such things.

After all, General Lenoir was a powerhouse in Yeringham. If he were to

confirm this matter, who would listen to the sayings of a small fry?

“Hmph! Sc*ms like you are destined to remain unemployed for the rest of

your life. You deserve this!”

Chapter 447

Darren waited for the both of them to leave the office before he continued to

mock Emmanuel. He even deliberately set the scene up for the rest of the

nurses in the hospital to look down upon him. In short, he continued to pile

onto Emmanuel’s misfortunes.

Emmanuel did not know why Darren despised him so. In fact, it should be the

other way around. That was because Darren snatched Milani away from him,

and he deliberately used the ward incident to humiliate both him and his

mom.

Unbeknownst to him, Darren had always been jealous of his luck with women.

He knew that Ms. Lenoir had always been infatuated with Emmanuel. Now

that she was dead, and the Lenoir family hated Emmanuel’s guts, he was

beyond happy when he realized his revenge on Emmanuel had come to

pass.

“Shut up!”

Just when Emmanuel was about to retaliate, somebody stopped Darren in

his tracks instead.

“Mr. Gomez!”

The crowd fell silent the moment they saw the respected hospital director

approaching them. Darren was beside himself with shock when he saw the

director. Could it be that he wished to protect Emmanuel even though he

knew that the Lenoir family was trying to suppress him? Didn’t he know that

the Lenoir family still held a certain portion of shares in the hospital?

Mr. Gomez ignored Darren and walked directly toward Emmanuel. “It’s such a

shame, Emmanuel! In reality, Beacon Hospital needs a talent like you around.”

Mr. Gomez’s recognition of his talents made the crowd, who had looked down

upon him previously, blushed with humiliation.

Darren gritted his teeth in anger. That was because he had never had his

talents publicly recognized by the director before this.

“Thank you for your nod of recognition,” Emmanuel replied with a smile.

Mr. Gomez sighed and said, “Owing to the rules and regulations of this

hospital, we could not keep you in your current job. If you wish to replace a job in

other hospitals in Yeringham, perhaps I could write you a recommendation

letter.”

Mr. Gomez was certain about Emmanuel’s skills. In terms of acupuncture and

the art of traditional medicine, Emmanuel was far more experienced

compared to him. Moreover, he also believed in his character as a person.

Emmanuel would never hide behind a woman’s skirt. As such, he refused to

follow the general opinion.

Unfortunately, General Lenoir’s influence in Yeringham was huge. Many senior

executives and shareholders were connected to the Lenoir family. As such,

he had no say on the matter of Emmanuel’s dismissal from the hospital.

Darren and the people around who had looked down upon Emmanuel were

rendered speechless at the moment. Their expression looked dark at the

moment.

Frederick stuck his tongue out at him. It served them right for cursing

Emmanuel to be jobless.

“Thank you, Mr. Gomez. You don’t really have to do that.” Emmanuel declined

his kindness in an indirect manner before he thanked him and left the scene

In fact, after getting aroused by Mackenzie’s body last night, he felt that he

wasn’t suited for the role of a gynecologist anymore. That was because he

could not be as frank as he was before. He was also afraid that the more

women’s bodies he looked at, the more he would lose interest in them. He still

wished to preserve his interest in the Icy Female CEO Of Yeringham. Only that way could he experience the feelings of a man.

Soon afterward, he had completed the paperwork for his dismissal. Then, he

packed his belongings and prepared to leave the hospital.

Frederick and a few other gynecologists were reluctant to part with him as

they saw him off at the gate.

Darren was waiting at the entrance with a few of his friends. Emmanuel didn’t

know if it was a deliberate attempt, but the moment he was about to leave,

they came over and said sarcastically, “You won’t be able to leech off

women in the future. So, you better buck up!”

“He won’t be leeching off anybody. If he cannot replace a job soon, I am afraid he

will starve before he can do that!”

After mocking Emmanuel, Darren turned around and headed back to the

hospital.

Unexpectedly, however, a few luxury cars stopped in front of Emmanuel just

as Darren was about to leave.

“What the f*ck?! What’s going on?” Darren and the rest of them were shocked

and stopped in their tracks.

On the other hand, Frederick and the rest of them were filled with

anticipation.

Darren couldn’t help but frown. Obviously, he never expected anybody to

come to the hospital to look for Emmanuel.

Chapter 448

The fleet of luxury cars was lined up in an orderly manner. Regardless of the

color or model of the cars, even a fool would know that it was a professional

luxury car team.

The one in front and the two cars at the back were escort cars. Only the

Rolls-Royce in the center was the main car.

Sóon, a group of bodyguards alighted from the escort cars.

Not a single soul was allowed within three meters of the car fleet.

Everybody at the hospital entrance was stunned when they saw the scene

before them.

Beacon Hospital was one of the top tertiary hospitals in Yeringham. As such, it

had its fair share of wealthy clients. However, this was the first time that

Darren and Frederick had seen such an imposing scene.

Naturally, Emmanuel wasn’t an exception. Furthermore, he had a hunch that

the fleet came specifically for him.

As expected, a middle-aged man that looked like the butler got down from

the car. Then, he headed toward him and asked, “Are you Emmanuel?”

Emmanuel nodded.

Darren and the rest of them started to panic when they saw this.

Darron’s best friend even provoked him by saying, “Darren, didn’t you just mock him for being jobless? How can a talented person like him be jobless? See that? The moment he left his job, a fleet of luxury cars came to pick him up. Perhaps, he is returning home to inherit his family’s business! Haha!”

Darren gritted his teeth and remained silent. He merely fixed his gaze upon Emmanuel while wondering to himself what kind of big shot would show up in such a grand manner to welcome him?

The rest of Darren’s team was about to eat their words.

They were friends with Darren. Moreover, they were also jealous of Emmanuel

for receiving Mr. Gomez’s favor. That was the reason why they acted in a hostile manner toward him. Now that a big shot had come to welcome

Emmanuel personally, they were naturally green with envy.

“Follow me. My master wishes to speak to you,” the butler ordered in a cold

manner. His cold demeanor stunned the people around him.

It seemed that he wasn’t there to welcome Emmanuel.

Before Emmanuel could reach the front of the Rolls-Royce, the butler ordered

coldly, “Stand there! Remain where you are and listen carefully!”

wee

The bodyguards fixed their gaze upon him. Some of them even drew out their

guns.

The atmosphere took a drastic turn.

Many people were shocked by the scene before them as they

subconsciously retreated.

Who were these men? Why did they have guns?

This wasn’t a fantasy setting! It was reality! This was the first time any of

them had seen bodyguards with live ammunition. One could imagine the

type of status the person in the car enjoyed since his bodyguards could

legally bear arms.

The next moment, the crowd was ordered to disperse.

Darren did not forget to taunt Frederick by saying, “Hah! He can continue

dreaming about returning home to inherit his family’s business. It’s still not

certain whether he would live to see another day! Haha!”

Frederick wasn’t in the mood to respond to his statement. He really wished

he could help Emmanuel, but even the hospital’s security guards had been

dispatched to disperse the crowd. It seemed that the person inside the car

had a strong influence on Beacon Hospital.

On the other hand, Emmanuel had already guessed who was inside the car.

Judging by the style of the car fleet, it must be the Lenoir family!

“Emmanuel! How dare you return to Yeringham?!”

After the crowd was dispersed, an imposing voice was heard from the car.

Coupled with the icy cold stare of the muscular bodyguards around him, the

man with the imposing voice was akin to a god.

If anybody else were in Emmanuel’s shoes, their legs would have turned to

jelly.

However, he merely replied indifferently, “Yeringham is my home. So, I have to

return.”-

The man inside the car smirked. “You murdered my daughter! Since you

dared to return here, it seems like you are prepared to give up your life as

compensation for hers.”

Emmanuel felt wronged as he retorted, “If Claudette could be resurrected, I

would gladly do that. However, I did not murder her. I am afraid that you are

after the wrong guy.”

An icy laugh came from deep within the car. Perhaps some might have

missed.it, but Emmanuel heard it clearly!

“It seems that my daughter has fallen for a sc*m. How could you call yourself

a man when you are so afraid of death?”

His tone angered Emmanuel. Ignoring whatever bigwig was inside the car,

Emmanuel retorted, “If you think you’re a man, Mr. Lenoir, you should replace the

true murderer instead of wasting your time on me.”

“You do have a sharp tongue!”

Chapter 449

The person in the car did not accept his argument. Suddenly, he bellowed, “I

am going to ask you one question! Since my daughter loves you deeply and

took a bullet for you, are you daring enough to join her in the afterlife?”

Emmanuel trembled. For a moment, he did not know how to respond to this.

If this was a critical moment, he would willingly take a bullet for her. However,

if he were to die now, would that bring Claudette back to life?

He wasn’t afraid of death, but he did not want to die in vain. The living would

grieve for him.

“Give him a gun!” The person in the car ordered in a cold manner.

The next moment, the butler handed Emmanuel a gun. It turned out that they

wanted him to commit suicide!

They were indeed mad!

He looked at the gun, which was marked with a military number, and stood

rooted to the spot.

How could there be such a thing as ridiculous as this?

How could someone be so unreasonable?

Claudette gave up her life for his, yet her father wanted him to die in such a

meaningless manner!

Honk! Honk!

Just as the atmosphere started to heat up, a series of car horns were heard

from the hospital entrance.

It seemed that the hospital was really lively today as a black Mercedes-Benz

S400 was seen in the distance.

General Lenoir looked through the rearview mirror and frowned.

Laura, who had been sitting beside him all this while said with a smile,

“General, it seems that the Quillen family is protective of their son-in-law.”

He did not reply to her.

Alfred got down from the Mercedes and strode toward the Rolls-Royce. He

had both his hands in his pockets as he said with narrowed eyes, “General

Lenoir, even a prominent figure like you would replace it hard to conclude this

matter in such a manner. I believe you might get demoted if you continue

this charade of yours.”

Anybody who held an official post was afraid of being demoted.

”

The

General Lenoir wasn’t an exception. It seemed that Alfred knew his weakness!

The reason he dispersed the crowd was so that he could relieve the pressure

on himself. By doing that, he would be able to get his way with Emmanuel.

However, he never expected the Quillen family to send their butler here. It

seemed that his plans were ruined!

Before he left, he still refused to let Emmanuel off the hook. He said coldly,

“You are not worthy to stay in Yeringham. Sooner or later, you will be forced to

the edge of despair!”

Emmanuel sighed helplessly for he knew the power of the Lenoir family.

Never in his wildest imagination did he dream that he would be at odds with

them.

He had a good relationship with Claudette before this. Now that it had come

to this, it pained him extremely.

He did not understand why he had to bear the burden of being Claudette’s

murderer when the true murderer was obviously somebody else.

Could it be that this was the might of the rich and powerful?

After the Lenoir family’s car fleet left, Emmanuel disappeared as well.

Daren and Frederick did not know what happened in the end. For Darren

especially, he was certain that once Emmanuel left the hospital, he would

never return.

As such, he was on cloud nine. At the moment, he was unable to replace a

kindred spirit to share his joy when suddenly, he thought of Milani.

He wondered what she would think if she knew that Emmanuel was in such a

state.

“Darren, are you for real? Did Emmanuel sink that low?”

She was shocked the moment she received Darren’s message.

Back then, she thought of chasing him instead. She even listened to her

cousin’s stupid idea and publicly announced her love for him in Moments.

Now that she thought about it, she realized what a fool she had been.

As such, the moment she heard that Emmanuel had lost his backing, and

had become the target of the Lenoir family, she felt a certain sense of elation.

What was that saying again? ‘What goes around comes around’ She truly

wished to see how badly her blind date had fallen in order to satisfy her

perverse mentality.

Chapter 450

“Haha! Of course, it’s true. Emmanuel has been fired, and he is jobless at the

moment. Serves him right!” Darren sent a voice message to Milani in an

excited manner.

Milani was gloating at his misfortune as well. Previously, when Emmanuel won

the favor of the Lenoir family, he became the project leader and even drove

a Maserati! However, look at the dire straits he was in now! It seemed that his

plan of currying favors with them had gone up in flames. It wasn’t destined to

last long.

Both of them chatted for quite some time. If Milani had not found herself

another man, they might have been able to rekindle their old romance.

On the other hand, General Lenoir had a dark look on his face as he sat inside

the Rolls-Royce.

As a high-ranking general, he radiated a sinister, terrifying aura that no

ordinary people would dare look at directly.

Laura was the only woman who could control such a man. With a tender

smile on her face, she held his muscular arms gently as her soft, curvaceous

body slowly dispelled the heat of his anger. Naturally, an experienced woman

like her was good at handling the situation.

She would not go out of the way to seduce a man. She would keep her body

at a certain distance, neither near nor far, just enough for a man to be

interested.

In short, she was a vixen!

She was aware of the true nature of men. She knew that in order to keep a

man interested, she had to give them what they wanted yet deny them the

satisfaction of owning her completely. Only when you were able to balance

the scales properly, would a man completely submit himself to you.

Otherwise, women were merely passing mirages to them. Once a man got

tired of your body, no matter how gorgeous you were, you would not be able

to move his heart.

“General Lenoir, it seems that Emmanuel had some kind of charm about him.

Not only was our daughter bewitched by him, but even the Quillen family is

also so protective of him!” Fueled by Laura’s words, General Lenoir’s temper

erupted like a volcano.

“Hmph! That b*stard murdered Claudette. Even the Quillen family wouldn’t be

able to protect him! I will make sure of that!”

General Lenoir radiated an air of dominance as he clenched his fists and

said, “If the Quillen family decides to make an enemy out of me because of

him, then the title of the richest family in Yeringham would soon change!”

Laura gazed at the man with admiration as she clasped her hands and said,

“General Lenoir, you truly are a man among men. If the Quillen family loses

the title of the richest family in Yeringham, who do you think would inherit

that title? Is it the Lenoir family or the Verkade family?”

As per his namesake, General Lenoir hailed from the Lenoir family, while Laura

hailed from the Verkade family.

No matter which family inherited that title, as long as it wasn’t the Quillen

family, they would stand to gain from it.

Yet, he did not respond to her sentence; instead, he remained silent. At the

moment, there was a sharp, domineering glint in his eyes.

After decades of toiling away, the Quillen family’s network encompassed a

wide area, which further solidified their position. Hence, even for a person of

rank such as himself, it would be hard to bring them to their knees.

However, he wasn’t a pushover. If the Quillen family decided to make an

enemy out of the Lenoir family because of some peasant, he would never

bow down to them out of fear, regardless of whether it was for his own ego or

his family’s interests.

He found it hard to believe that a powerful, ancient family would make an

enemy out of them just because of

a

commoner!

It was something that had never crossed his mind. It seemed that he had to

give this matter some more thought.

On the other side, Emmanuel had gotten inside Alfred’s car. However, he did

not know what the other party was up to.

After marrying Mackenzie. he had almost forgotten about his eighteenth

blind date. Naturally, he wasn’t aware that Milani still had her eyes on him.

All he could think of at the moment was how did he become the enemy of

the Lenoir family?!

He truly did not want to make an enemy out of them. That was because he

still owed Claudette his life!

“Emmanuel!” Alfred’s voice jolted him back to reality.

“Huh? What’s the matter?”

In reality, he still did not know Alfred’s actual identity. He merely knew that he

was from the Quillen family.

Now that he knew of Mackenzie’s true identity, it did not come as a surprise

that the Quillen family was looking for him.
