A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 

Adrenaline coursed through Sheldon’s veins as he 

stared after Emmanuel’s retreating figure

Removing troublemakers from the project falls under 

my jurisdiction as a legal specialist in Cloud 

Construction. How could I simply stand aside when 

Emmanuel is ready to risk his life to solve the issue

1/16 

Emmanuel’s bravery inspired Sheldon to follow suit

The latter ran after Emmanuel while vowing through 

gritted teeth, D*mn it! I’m going to give it my all even if 

I lose my life!” 

When Emmanuel turned around and noticed the other 

man’s approach, he could not help but smile

9/2/16 

Emmanuel had faced lifeanddeath situations with 

plenty of peers while serving on the front lines. Since 

his return to Yeringham, Frederick had been the only 

person who willingly fought alongside him. He was 

pleasantly surprised to find another ally in Sheldon

He booked a private room to prevent security from 

booting them

Now that Sheldon had decided to stay, he decided to 

hire several hostesses for entertainment and asked if 

Emmanuel wanted to join him

Go ahead. I’m heading out for a walk!” 

Emmanuel rarely showed any interest in women and 

left the room. He walked along the corridor in search of 

Elena

His efforts paid off. He came across Elena just as she 

finished touching up her makeup. She appeared to be 

meeting Samuel

3/16 

Sheldon had followed Emmanuel out of their private 

room. When he noticed that the latter was trailing 

Elena all the way to Samuel’s room, he quickly pulled 

Emmanuel back in panic

He whispered, Think carefully! This is your last chance

Didn’t you see the crowd inside?” 

Emmanuel appeared unfazed

Assuming he was clueless about Samuel’s might

Sheldon added, Mr. Webber is utterly merciless. He has 

several people’s blood on his hands! And he has

bunch of lackeys who are crazygood fighters! Each 

one is fiercer than the next! He’ll definitely kill you if you 

barge in and demand his retreat from the project 

grounds!” 

4/10 

Sheldon thought his advice would intimidate 

Emmanuel into rethinking his approach

To his horror, Emmanuel replied expressionlessly, The 

project will surely be delayed if we don’t get rid of Mr. 

Webber and his men today! No one can stop me from 

my goal today!” 

What in the world

Sheldon was completely nonplussed

This man is only a lowly employee. Did he delude 

himself into thinking he’s Terence Group’s boss or 

something? He’s more passionate about the fate of 

this project than the real boss

Just then, the two men suddenly heard a loud crash 

coming from Samuel’s room

Huh, what happened

They pressed their ears to the door

The private room fell into deathly silence

Enough with that innocent act! People may treat you 

like a goddess, but you’re just a toy to Mr. Webber!” 

If you won’t strip down and entertain Mr. Webber, we’ll 

destroy more than just your career!” 

The threats filled Sheldon with fear

W19 

Alas, Emmanuel chose that exact moment to kick open 

the door and barge into the private room

His entrance turned heads. Everyone inside Samuel’s 

private room froze, staring at the intruder in shock

Sheldon’s eyes bugged out. He struggled to stay 

upright on his shaky legs

Hey, brat. Who the h*ll are you?” 

Over ten buff men in the room got to their feet and 

shot Emmanuel murderous glares

They looked as though they would attack him at any 

minute

These men had served Samuel for many years, and 

this was the first time they encountered someone bold 

enough to barge into their private room. Alone

They wondered if he was sick of living

Meanwhile, Emmanuel allowed his gaze to travel 

across the room. There were over ten hostesses in the 

room, all scantily clad except Elena

They had cowered silently in the corner of the room 

during Elena’s conflict with Samuel

7/16 

Bolstered by her reputation in the club, Elena clearly 

refused to strip down and was splashed with red wine 

for her audacity

The rubyred liquid stained her silvercolored miniskirt

dripping down her legs

Like the others in the room, she immediately turned to 

look at Emmanuel upon his unannounced entrance

8/16 

She realized then that he was the man who had 

claimed to be Samuel’s subordinate earlier

I guess he doesn’t work for Mr. Webber after all

Even as Emmanuel was clearly outnumbered in that 

private room, he looked at Samuel calmly and 

declared, I’m here to see Mr. Webber. My name is 

Emmanuel Lowe, and I’m Terence Group’s 

representative! I’m here to inform you to pull your men 

out of the project grounds, which you are unlawfully 

trespassing!” 

His words struck everyone silent with shock

Do workers these days have some sort of death wish

How can he be stupid enough to barge into

nightclub and confront the head of underground 

circles to finish a job

5/14 

Everyone, including the hostesses, stared at Emmanuel 

as though he was a fool

Sheldon kept his gaze on the ground, fearing the worst

Only Elena continued to appraise Emmanuel carefully

seeing him in a different light. A man like that can’t be 

some simple character! He has both wits and courage

Consider me charmed

Samuel simply ordered, Get rid of him!” 

He wanted to return to his salacious entertainment 

and could hardly be bothered to figure out 

Emmanuel’s identity. The sooner his men got rid of his 

unannounced visitor, the better

Two of his subordinates swung empty glass bottles at 

Emmanuel’s head while roaring, Go to h*ll, you fool!” 

Sheldon covered his eyes, too frightened to witness 

Emmanuel’s doom

Clang

The sound of glass breaking echoed through the air

10/16 

But when Sheldon peeped through the gap between 

his fingers, his jaw dropped to the floor in shock, as did 

everyone else in the room

Emmanuel had reduced the glass bottles into shards 

with his bare fists and sent his two attackers flying 

across the room

Blood trickled down his fists, but his eyes burned with 

fiery determination. There was no hint of fear in him

So cool

Elena secretly sighed in admiration

The others in the room shared her sentiments

A second later, a couple of Samuel’s men grabbed 

some broken wine bottles and stabbed them in 

Emmanuel’s direction

Ah!The hostesses in the private room blanched in 

fear. A chorus of shrieks reverberated through the 

room

11/10 

Once again, Emmanuel nimbly dodged their attacks

With a furious roar, he grabbed his two attackers and 

rammed their heads together

Crack

12/16 

Blood instantly streamed down the dazed men’s faces

The audience grew increasingly bewildered as they
