A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 

On that night, Emmanuel arrived at the nightclub 

named The Paradise

Beneath his clothes were all bandages

Standing alone by the door, he puffed at a cigarette in 

annoyance

His mood plummeted when he received a call three 

minutes ago, and Roselynn’s voice was still echoing in 

his ear. Manny, Mom was admitted to the hospital 

again. She has nephritis! She was asking for you

wondering when your wife will come and visit. She 

thought your wife should have come to see her 

already since you two are married.” 

Roselynn’s words rendered Emmanuel speechless, and 

her remarks still echoed in his ears

Their father passed away at a young age, and their 

mother had to raise him and his sister singlehandedly

She worked too hard when she was young, and her 

unhealthy diet caused her to develop kidney stones

Some ten years ago, she had to have one of her 

kidneys removed, and her only kidney was inflamed

Emmanuel did not know how long his mother’s body 

could hold up

Her only wish now was to meet her daughterinlaw

Even seeing her grandchild being born would be a 

luxury

Emmanuel knew he had repeatedly disappointed his 

2/15 

mother, but this time, he was determined to bring 

Mackenzie home to fulfill his mother’s wish! 

Meanwhile, Mackenzie was in a daze. She might be 

staring at the screen, but she was, in fact, zoning out

She had never been so worried for someone in her life 

that it significantly reduced her efficiency at work

All of a sudden, her phone rang. It was a call from her 

grandfather

Hey, Mackenzie! Can the strategic warehouse project 

be completed in time? All the directors kept pressuring 

me for the progress update!Terence sounded 

anxious

After all, all shareholders wanted profits. As the 

majority shareholder of the company, Terénce 

undoubtedly hoped the project would succeed

Grandpa, I’m waiting for an update from someone,” 

Mackenzie said calmly

Updates from someone? Who’s the CEO of Terence 

Group? Who’s the decision maker of the company

And you’re telling me you’re waiting for updates from 

another person?Terence expressed his dismay. What 

happened to my granddaughter? That’s not how she 

would usually behave

I want you to give me an answer right now!The 

agitated Terence raised his voice

Grandpa, that person is Emmanuel!she responded

What? Emmanuel?Terence froze for a moment and 

kept mum

After a while, he expressed his shock. Why do you 

have to wait for him to make a decision for Terence 

Group?” 

Grandpa, stop asking, okay?Mackenzie replied 

indifferently, Anyway, I’ve informed the engineering 

team from Cloud Construction to be on standby. I’ll 

issue an ultimatum by tomorrow morning.” 

After that, she ended the call

Mackenzie let out a long breath and found herself 

unable to sit still

She could not believe that even during that critical 

period, she still found herself expecting Emmanuel to 

solve the problem

As the night fell, Emmanuel flicked his cigarette in front 

of the entrance of The Paradise and was ready to enter 

the premises

Suddenly, someone pulled him from the back, and the 

person was Sheldon

Emmanuel, have you lost your mind? Would you really 

stoop to anything for the sake of money? Mr. Webber is 

not an easy person to deal with, yet you went to him 

and warned him and his men to vacate that piece of 

hapter 16 Fits fubordinate 

land. He could easily send someone to take your life

Do you realize that?Sheldon exclaimed in agitation

trying to dissuade the man

7/15 

Though he only had a professional relationship with 

Emmanuel, from human to human, he did not want the 

man to risk his life

Yet, Emmanuel ignored him and walked straight into 

the nightclub

Unfortunately, the receptionist refused to reveal any 

information about their guest to him

The security guard even chased him out of the club 

after he refused to leave

Emmanuel, can you stop acting crazy? We can’t even 

locate the person. Just give up, okay? It’s impossible for 

us to earn that money!Sheldon stayed back, further 

dampening Emmanuel’s spirit

Emmanuel continued giving him the cold shoulder

He knew Sheldon was saying that for his own good. But 

he doesn’t know how I’m feeling and why I’m doing this. 

It’s pointless for me to explain to him at this point

All of a sudden, an Audi arrived at the parking lot

As a stunning lady stepped out of her car in high heels

all eyes were drawn to her. She was dressed in

shimmering silver gown that revealed her long and 

slender legs, and her skin was so smooth that it 

resembled white poppy flowers

Emmanuel’s jaw dropped when he saw the woman

Apart from the aura she exuded, the woman’s beauty 

and allure could rival Mackenzie’s

Mackenzie’s sex appeal and attractive appearance 

might not even hold a candle to her

Oh my goodness, isn’t that Elena Lyle, the top hostess 

of The Paradise?Sheldon exclaimed, captivated by 

her beauty. He was so taken aback that he could 

hardly move

As a man living in Yeringham, he was naturally familiar 

with the legends surrounding the top hostess of The 

Paradise

It was said that she never accompanied her clients on 

outings, and those who wanted to drink with her had 

to pay thirtyeight thousand per hour. She was also 

known for her exclusive taste in wine and would only 

drink Lafite

10/15 

In other words, Elena would only befriend people who 

were wealthy and influential. She was, indeed, the very 

definition of a successful hostess

Emmanuel knew nothing about Elena, but the moment 

Sheldon told him she was the top hostess in the

nightclub, he walked toward her directly

Fro told him that Samuel would always come and look 

for her, so he was confident that he could get 

information about Samuel’s whereabouts from her

Emmanuel’s sudden presumptuous move left Sheldon 

dumbfounded. Is he trying to hit on the top hostess

What makes him think he could go after a woman 

who’s clearly out of his league

11/15 

After standing in front of Elena to stop her from leaving, 

Emmanuel greeted her, Nice to meet you, Ms. Lyle!” 

Elena knitted her brows

If any man had interrupted her like that, she would
