Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore -
Chapter 1407
Chapter 1407 Invitation of Angela Shortly after the match began, Johnwick was immediately forced into a defensive position, confronted with a vast disparity in speed and technique compared to his opponent. Blow after blow rained down on him, leaving him visibly flustered and humiliated.
Were it not for his remarkable physical resilience, he might not have lasted even thirty seconds in the ring.
With a resounding thud, Johnwick was knocked down once again, unable to rise. The crowd watched in disbelief as the shocking scene unfolded before them.
The impostors, who stood behind Emmanuel and his companions, were wide-eyed.
What was happening? How could this be? Mackenzie couldn't help but steal another glance at her husband, her perception of him constantly evolving.
Initially, she deemed him merely proficient in combat, perhaps a cut above average. Then she upgraded her estimation to that of an expert. Now, she couldn't shake the suspicion that he might be a hidden master.
His prowess raised a question in her mind. Why had he chosen a career in gynecology, earning a modest annual salary of eighty thousand? Soon, she reached a conclusion. He must be hiding a lot from me.
“Haha, you bunch of braggarts, why the sudden silence?” Frederick couldn't resist taunting those impostors on behalf of Emmanuel. How dare they mock my close friend? They are practically begging for trouble! The group was left speechless, unable to refute, even with their obvious displeasure.
They had misjudged twice in a row. Although they failed to surpass Emmanuel in predicting the winners, they were still unwilling to admit defeat. Wolf Warrior, in particular, scrambled for a chance to salvage his pride.
Soon, opportunity knocked, “Look, Johnwick and other Silverbanes are heading this way!” Big Wolf's exclamation prompted Emmanuel and the others to turn their attention toward the approaching group. To their surprise, Angela was leading the Silverbanes towards them! “Hey, do you think Ms. Angela is seeking our boss's aid in the arena?” “After all, the Onza Silverbane family is the foremost power, and now that Johnwick has been defeated, they likely have no chance of advancing. How embarrassing!” “Most likely, Johnwick recommended our boss.” The group discussed it excitedly, as if it were a fact! If Emmanuel hadn’t been keenly aware of his identity as a Wolf Warrior, he might have succumbed to their influence, believing their boss to be the true Wolf Warrior.
However, while he remained unaffected, their boss had fully embraced his pretend role. Upon hearing his subordinates’ remarks, he wore a smug smile, convinced that Angela was coming to invite him to fight, and even stood up in anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Angela descended one more step on the stairs and walked up to Emmanuel.
What?! What's going on? Wolf Warrior found himself in an awkward position.
“Mr. Lowe, Grandpa, and I have something urgent to discuss with you. Could you please follow me?” Angela’s demeanor was exceedingly respectful, almost bowing ninety degrees to Emmanuel.
Unaware of Emmanuel’s heroic deeds, Frederick shared the impostors’ surprise at Angela's deference. She was the daughter of the Silverbane family and the most trusted granddaughter of the president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce! “After all, the Unza Silverbane family is the foremost power, and now that Johnwick has been defeated, they likely have no chance of advancing. How embarrassing!” “Most likely, Johnwick recommended our boss.” The group discussed it excitedly, as if it were a fact! If Emmanuel hadn’t been keenly aware of his identity as a Wolf Warrior, he might have succumbed to their influence, believing their boss to be the true Wolf Warrior.

Unaware of Emmanuel’s heroic deeds, Frederick shared the impostors’ surprise at Angela's deference. She was the daughter of the Silverbane family and the most trusted granddaughter of the president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce! Even Frederick understood that Angela's status in the Nuthana business realm surpassed Mackenzie's, so when he witnessed her displaying such humility in front of Emmanuel, he couldn't help but wonder how remarkable his buddy must be.
Before leaving with Angela, Emmanuel glanced at Mackenzie for her consent. They had just resolved their recent disagreement, and he couldn’t afford another misstep.
Angela, understanding the situation, also proactively sought Mackenzie's approval. “Ms. Quillen, may I?” A whirlwind of emotions stirred within Mackenzie.
She didn’t want to be an overbearing wife, but she felt uneasy with Emmanuel’s habit of constantly concealing things from her.
Now, Angela’s invitation, which excluded her, only exacerbated her discomfort.
Nonetheless, she grasped the bigger picture and realized why the Onza Silverbane family sought Emmanuel’s aid, so she nodded subtly.
With Mackenzie's permission, Emmanuel stood up and instructed Angela, “Please arrange for someone to ensure my wife's safety.” Angela then directed Johnwick, who had recently been injured in the match, to safeguard Mackenzie Quillen while she led Emmanuel away.
The self-proclaimed Northern Region Wolf Warrior, on the other hand, stood dumbfounded.
Moments ago, they had been aggressive and even threatened to teach Emmanuel a lesson, only to realize that his status far exceeded Johnwick’s.
Reflecting on their futile attempts to forge a connection with Johnwick, they felt like jesters in a comedy.
