A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 1988

Chapter 1988 

“If you don’t cut this out, I’ll get serious!” 

Yuna threatened with a sinister smile. “We’ll stack bricks under your heels, 

and once they reach a certain height, your legs will be ruined. It’s one of the 

ten ancient tortures. It hasn’t been used in ages, but for those long legs of 

yours, it’d be such a shame if they were to go to waste, wouldn’t it?” 

Yuna spoke of brutal torture as casually as if she were playing a game. 

Owen suddenly found himself trembling. His earlier infatuation with her 

seemed to vanish in an instant. 

Beneath that stunning beauty lay the soul of a demon. 

Roselynn clenched her teeth, her resolve wavering. 

If I can survive, I’ll have the chance to fight another day. I need to have faith in 

Emmanuel and Santiago. I have to believe that if Gwain can master the 

Dragon Tome, they still stand a chance against him.

But… what if they can’t? 

The fear of future regret gnawed at her.

Ever since her disastrous marriage to Jaxton, she had sworn to never make 

decisions she’d regret. 

“Do it!” 

Yuna, much like her father, Teddy, didn’t believe in dragging things out. She 

gave her orders, and her bodyguards moved immediately. 

The first brick was placed beneath Roselynn’s heels, and her tendons began 

to stretch painfully. 

By the time the second brick was added, veins bulged across her legs as the 

pain intensified. 

If the third brick were added, her tendons would surely tear, leaving her 

crippled for life.

“Stop!” 

Just as the bodyguards prepared to move, a commanding voice echoed 

through the room–it was Jenson Quill.

“Dad! What are you doing here?” Owen asked immediately, stunned to see 

him. 

Slap! 

Jenson delivered a sharp slap across Owen’s face, his voice booming with 

anger. “What do you think you’re doing? Who told you to bring this woman 

back? You’ve really messed up this time! Do you even realize it?” 

Owen covered his cheek, too afraid to speak. 

Gwain, sharp–minded as always, understood that Jenson’s anger directed at 

-his son was just for show. Owen’s trouble stemmed from them, after all. 

In the next moment, Jenson turned to Gwain, clasping his hands in a gesture 

of respect. “Mr. Lannister, this woman shouldn’t concern the Quill family. But

請 today, Emmanuel barged into my father’s birthday banquet, threatening that 

if anything happened to her, he would wipe out the Quills.” 

Gwain snorted derisively. “Are all of you Quills just a bunch of cowards? Do 

you really think a nobody like Emmanuel can intimidate such a large family?” 

Jenson dared not offend the Lannister family. Instead, he forced a smile. “Mr. 

Lannister, the Quill family is no match for your family. We may be small fr 

but Emmanuel is the Grandmaster of Nuthana and the favored son–in–law of 

Old Mr. Silverbane. He wields considerable power, and we can’t afford to 

provoke him!” 

Gwain let out a disdainful grunt, refusing to engage further. 

Yung took the lead. “So, what you’re saying is..” 

The Tanner family served as a pillar of support for the Quills, so her words 

held more weight than Gwain’s. 

Jenson, lowering his gaze, replied, “Ms. Tanner, Emmanuel will be coming to

the Quill estate tomorrow. Once we deal with him, you can deal with this 

woman however you like.” 

Clearly, he wanted to steer clear of the mess and not end up being used as 

pawns by the Lannisters. 

Truth be told, the Quills had no substantial ties to the Lannister family. There 

was no reason to jeopardize their own standing just to please them. 

“Since you’re so scared of Emmanuel, why don’t we just take him out first and 

then deal with her later?” Yuna suggested with a sly smile, confidence 

gleaming in her eyes. 

Jenson didn’t share her certainty. “I’ve heard that Emmanuel has formed his 

own unit. Even the legendary instructor of Griffin Corps, Robert, is his 

apprentice. His influence is immense. If it comes down to a direct 

confrontation tomorrow, we might not even win!” 

“If the Quills and Silver Fox Military together aren’t confident of a sure victory, 

but what if we bring in the entire might of Eldoria?*

“Uh…”

Jenson paused, then said, “Ms. Tanner, you’re overestimating our family. In 

truth, more than half of Eldoria’s forces are against us. Convincing them to 

help us would be no easy task!” 

“While they might be against you, they might just listen to me!” 

Yuna winked at Gwain clearly pleased with herself.

“Ms. Tanner, do you really have that kind of ability?” Jenson’s eyes lit up, not 

out of doubt, but with excitement. 

“Over twenty years ago, my great aunt captivated the entire nation with a 

single dance. She changed the course of the national election and rose to 

become one of the Four Beauties. People still talk about her to this day!” 

Yuna spoke with confidence. “My father raised me to her standards, and with guidance from my other aunt, I may not be able to dazzle the world as she 

did, but I’m pretty sure I can win over all of Eldoria!”

Hearing this, Jenson was thrilled. “Great! With your promise, Ms. Tanner, we’ll 

go all out against Emmanuel tomorrow. Once he’s out of the picture, we can 

finally sleep soundly!” 

Yuna smiled triumphantly. For the moment, she stopped paying attention to 

Roselynn. 

Gwain and his men followed her lead and retreated to a side room. 

Once they were alone, Wyatt said, “Mr. Gwain, it seems Yuna is willing to go to 

any lengths to win your favor.” 

Hank chimed in with a teasing grin, “She might be ruthless, but she’d make a 

perfect wife for you, Mr. Gwain. She could help you achieve great things!” 

However, Gwain didn’t look as convinced. After a moment of thought, he said, 

“That woman is no simple character. She’s been trying to get on my good 

side because my reputation surpasses hers. She’s using me to boost her own 

image.
