A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 

The next moment, Emmanuel emerged from the situation unharmed. 

“H–How…” 

Beatrix was in disbelief as she looked at Emmanuel and then at Mackenzie. 

She didn’t want Mackenzie to think she was playing a prank or lying to her. 

“Step back!” Mackenzie quickly commanded the bodyguards as she still had 

to pretend to be poor. 

Taking advantage of Emmanuel’s obliviousness, Mackenzie made her way 

toward him. 

Beatrix decided not to disturb Mackenzie and her husband any further. She 

swiftly retreated from the scene along with the bodyguards. 

As Emmanuel lifted his gaze, he caught sight of Beatrix and the twelve skilled 

bodyguards. Yet, he didn’t link them to Mackenzie. He presumed they were 

dispatched by Beatrix herself to rescue him.

Next, he shifted his attention to his wife. 

“Why are you here, Ms. Quillen?” 

“You idiot! Are you trying to be heroic again?” Mackenzie scolded, her eyes 

filled with concern. 

“I’ve actually been holding back for a while, but Ms. Beatrix is my boss. How 

can I stand by and do nothing?” Emmanuel explained while scratching his 

head. He felt apologetic for causing his wife to worry and go through the 

trouble of coming to check on him. 

“Let’s talk when we reach home!” Mackenzie grabbed his sleeve in frustration 

and pulled him along. 

Beatrix, who had observing from afar, found it incredibly hard to believe that 

Mackenzie, known for her cold demeanor and aversion to physical contact, 

was now willingly holding a man’s hand. 

Even though it was just the act of holding his sleeve, it signified a remarkable 

breakthrough nonetheless. 

“Ms. Thompson,” a group of burly men from the Sky Wolf Society called out in 

unison outside the hotel. 

Ignoring her subordinates, Eve walked out of the hotel and fixed her gaze on 

the departing couple. 

What a beauty! He certainly has excellent taste! 

Eve couldn’t help but mock herself. She swiftly put on sunglasses, 

reestablishing her unapproachable aura, and waved her hand to signal her 

entourage to leave. 

On the way back home, Mackenzie remained silent until they were inside and 

the door was closed. 

“From now on, you are not allowed to go out at night. You always end up in 

trouble! Are you some violent maniac who needs to get into fights every time 

you step out?” 

They had been married for less than a month, and he had already gotten 

into three fights. 

Faced with Mackenzie’s intense interrogation, Emmanuel refrained from 

arguing and instead wore a look of mild surprise. 

“I didn’t know you care about me so much, Ms. Quillen.” 

Mackenzie trembled slightly, and her expression turned solemn. “What are 

you talking about? Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m just afraid that one day 

you’ll end up getting beaten to death, and I’ll be widowed. It would be 

troublesome to deal with a divorce at that point.”
