A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 

In the next moment, Mackenzie turned on her phone 

and tossed it at Emmanuel. 

Emmanuel grabbed the phone, but before he could 

read the information on the device, he heard 

Mackenzie speaking to him in an irresistible tone. “Help 

me expedite this project. It needs to be completed 

within a month!” 

Baffled, he quickly read the content. 

Terence Group requested Cloud Construction to build 

a large-scale, strategic warehouse. The contract 

involved one billion, and the deadline for the project 

was the end of the month. 

2/15 

However, Cloud Construction informed Terence Group 

two days ago that the project couldn’t be completed in 

time. 

Confused, he asked, “Terence Group can recoup the 

funds and demand fifty million from Cloud 

Construction for breaking the contract if they can’t 

complete the project on time. Why are you in a hurry 

to get it done?” 

In response, Mackenzie smirked as a domineering and 

resolute look entered her eyes. “If this warehouse can’t 

be completed in time, Terence Group will suffer an 

obscene profit loss. It’s not something fifty million can 

compensate for. Do you understand?” 

Emmanuel was stunned by that look of hers. No 

wonder this woman is an executive in a large 

corporation. She has an ambition that even a man 

doesn’t have! Someone else would’ve been content 

earning fifty million, but she wants even more profits! I 

didn’t believe her in the past when she said she earns 

three billion annually. But now, I think she’s telling the 

truth. It’s a shame that the money she earns goes to 

the company, not her pocket. Otherwise, she would be 

living in a mansion instead of a 

two-hundred-square-foot apartment in a residential 

area. 

Chapter 12 Emmanuel Again 

“You think too highly of me, Ms. Quillen.” Suddenly, 

Emmanuel smiled. “If Terence Group’s employees in 

4/15 

charge of this project can’t solve this issue, why do you 

think a mere gynecologist like me can pull it off?” 

“Useless!” A sigh slipped out of Mackenzie’s mouth. 

She wouldn’t have thought much of his response if 

other men had told her that instead. 

However, because he was her husband, he was a lot 

more special in her eyes. 

The project was very important, so as the CEO of 

Terence Group, she couldn’t just watch it fail without 

doing anything to save it. 

Of course, she had sent many to urge Cloud 

Construction to complete the project in time, but all 

returned without success. 

Initially, she had already accepted the fact that the 

project was botched. However, when she saw 

Emmanuel not even flinching despite suffering severe 

injuries, she abruptly recalled how he faced five thugs 

fearlessly and thought he was a tough nut. That was 

why she had unrealistic expectations about him. 

“Wait!” Emmanuel didn’t feel great seeing the 

disappointment in Mackenzie’s eyes, so he offered, “I’ll 

help you out, but if I succeed, you must do one thing 

for me in return.” 

She turned to face the slightly agitated man and 

grinned. I seem to have ignited his fighting spirit by 

looking down on him. 

“What is it?” 

“You’ll have to return home with me to meet my 

mother and sister as my wife,” he stated firmly. This is 

my best chance to pull it off. If I miss this opportunity, 

there’s no telling how long I’ll need to wait before she’s 

willing to return home with me. 

As she stared at him, her expression shifted multiple 

In reality, she still hadn’t acknowledged the marriage. 

In fact, she thought it would end at any moment, which 

was why she didn’t want anyone else to get involved. 

Otherwise, things would only become more 

complicated in the future. 

However, she didn’t think he would succeed, so she 

agreed. 

Chapter 

Again 

Upon receiving her agreement, Emmanuel released a 

sigh of relief. I’m so excited! I bet Mom’s worries will be 

eased when she sees my wife. 

Meanwhile, when Milani returned home, her mother 

yapped at her again. 

Melody was a woman who played favorites as she 

constantly badgered her daughter to go on blind 

dates. Her goal was for her daughter to marry a 

wealthy scion, obtain his betrothal gift, and help her 

son marry a wife. 

Therefore, when Milani told her Emmanuel had 

returned the ten million, she reacted similarly to Milani. 

8/15 

On the other hand, Jacob was so furious that he tore 

some hair off his head. How can anyone be that 

stupid? I’m still waiting for my future brother-in-law’s 

betrothal gift so I can buy a house and a car! 

“Don’t worry, Mom. The company has noted my worth 

and promoted me to project supervisor!” To prevent 

her mother from urging her to attend another blind 

date, she quickly added, “Once I complete the project, 

I’ll earn an additional three hundred thousand as a 

bonus! Maybe it’ll even help me get promoted again!” 

She was the new project supervisor at Cloud 

Construction. 

9/15 

However, her knowledge of the company’s upper 

echelons was still lacking because she had just been 

promoted. 

In reality, she was given the position because the 

previous supervisor quit. They were unable to handle 

the pressure of the job because Terence Group kept 

urging them to finish the project, even though its 

progress kept stagnating. 

No one wanted the hot potato that was the project. 

Hence, the higher-ups offered enticing rewards to find 

a scapegoat. 

Milani was gleeful about her promotion because she 

was completely unaware of all that. 

Upon hearing what she said, Jacob leaped in joy. 

“Really?” If she gives me her entire bonus, I’ll be able to 

buy a decent car!
