A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 

“Oh, it’s not me who wants to borrow him. It’s my best friend!” Beatrix hurriedly 

explained, “Don’t get the wrong idea, Mackenzie. I’m not trying to seduce 

Manuel. Even though he’s tall, muscular, and handsome, I’m not the type to 

swoon over men!” 

“You’re not?” 

Mackenzie suddenly chuckled. “Is that even possible? Whose room is filled 

with posters of handsome men? Who is the person who constantly gushes 

about certain male celebrities being domineering, manly, and suitable to be 

her husband?” 

Pfft! 

She exposed Beatrix so hard that the latter gave her a pleading look. “That’s 

enough, Mackenzie. I admit that I swoon over men, but I will never harbor 

inappropriate thoughts toward Manuel. I swear!” 

With that, Beatrix lifted her hand as if taking an oath. 

Only after hearing that did Mackenzie ask, “Which best friend of yours wants 

to borrow that idiot?” 

She knew that her cousin had a lot of friends, while she had practically none. 

“It’s Elizabeth! And it’s not just her. Many of my friends are eager to meet the 

superhero who took on Wolf Warrior Society alone as well!” 

Beatrix’s eyes widened and sparkled as she spoke. 

I must say, Manuel was so cool that night! 

“I can’t believe that idiot can gain female fans from a fight!” 

Mackenzie was even more determined to forbid him from going out at night 

to fight in the future. What will others think of him? 

“Can you allow it, Mackenzie? I promised them to take him to a laser tag 

game and let him lead us! If you don’t agree, it’ll make me look bad!” 

Beatrix clasped her hands together and pleaded. 

Mackenzie rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Just ask him directly. It’s not as if 

you’re taking me there!” 

“Gosh! As your cousin, do you think I’m unaware of your standing in your 

family? What he says doesn’t count!” 

Beatrix’s words were like music to Mackenzie’s ears. 

I’m the boss not just at work, but also at home! 

“I promise I won’t let Elizabeth and the other girls get their hands on Manuel, 

Mackenzie! I’ll bring him home untainted!” 

Beatrix quickly vowed, knowing just what her cousin was thinking. 

“Go and ask him yourself. You’re making it seem as if I’m restricting his 

freedom!” 

“Thanks, Mackenzie!” 

With her cousin’s words, Beatrix knew that the matter was settled. 

Sure enough, Beatrix invited Emmanuel to the laser tag game next Saturday 

using her status in the Quillen family, to which the latter replied that he had 

to inform his wife. 

4/6 

Naturally, Mackenzie would not stop him since she had already agreed to it. 

Hence, the matter was set in stone. 

“Good news, Claudette!” 

Elizabeth immediately went to Claudette excitedly after confirming that 

Emmanuel would participate in their activity. 

“Dr. Lowe, my superhero, will be joining us for the laser tag game next 

Saturday! Do you want to join us, Claudette? This is a good opportunity!” 

Claudette was secretly surprised. I wonder what Elizabeth meant by good 

opportunity. Could it be that she knows I like Dr. Lowe? 

“You don’t have to hide it anymore, Claudette. Beatrix told me everything. Dr. 

Lowe is tall and handsome, and he provides a sense of security: I also like him
