A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 1997

Chapter 1997 

Sonia and Raina, along with the other women present, had never before 

faced such a terrifying scene. Both women trembled uncontrollably, clinging 

to their fathers for protection, their bodies racked with fear. Denis and Jake, 

though brave by nature, found their foreheads slick with cold sweat in the 

face of this dire situation. 

The two sides of the gamble were now polsed to reveal their true intentions. 

Life and death, in all their finality, hung in the balance. 

From his vantage point atop the lofty Quill Residence, Gwain reveled in the 

unfolding chaos, a smug sense of triumph evident on his face as Yuna stood 

beside him. Below, surrounding the vast Quill Residence, no fewer than a 

thousand people had gathered. 

As the saying went, they were outnumbered, and the overwhelming force of 

a thousand hands was an even more daunting prospect. Many in the crowd 

brandished knives and daggers, and some even carried firearms. While they 

could hardly be considered an army, their sheer numbers alone made the

task of eliminating Emmanuel and his thirty–odd companions seem 

effortless 

Ladles and gentlemen, if you take Emmanuel down today, you will not only 

avenge me and my family, but you will become friends of the Quill family and 

trusted allies of Mr. Gwain and me!” Yuna’s voice rang out from her elevated 

position, swaying the crowd with each word. 

“For Yuna, we will slay Emmanuel!” a voice echoed in response. 

“Kill him!” the rallying cry surged through the crowd. 

Mr. Maye and his cohorts, fully aware that they stood no chance against 

Emmanuel in a one–on–one fight, relied instead on their overwhelming 

numbers to create a spectacle of intimidation. Their goal was to break the 

spirit of Emmanuel and his companions before the battle even began. The 

presence of three skilled fighters on Gwain’s side further bolstered their 

confidence. 

Yet Emmanuel remained unaffected, his expression calm and detached as

Xander had already unsheathed the bone–crushing knife he had prepared. 

addressing Emmanuel with a taunting sheer from a distance. 

Emmanuel, however, responded with a faint smile. “I have no parting words, 

but I do wish to offer one last sincere piece of advice.” 

Xander’s lips curled in contempt, his anger simmering beneath the surface. 

He hadn’t expected Emmanuel to maintain such calm bravado in the face of 

death, and it only deepened his disdain. 

“The Quill family must return my sister to me. Do that, and I will spare your 

lives. Otherwise, when the fighting begins, the Quill family will be utterly 

destroyed.” 

“D*mn it! Not this again!” Xander shouted in rage, his patience frayed. “It 

seems you’ve run out of things to say. I can’t wait to use this knife to cut you 

into pieces!” 

“Uncle!” 

At that moment, from amidst the crowd, the Quill couple could no longer hold 

back. True to his nature, Larry was forthright, while his wife, Gina, displayed 

her boldness. 

Gina’s voice was icy as she spoke. “I understand you want to deal with 

Emmanuel because of the current power struggle–that’s beyond my 

concern. But what has his sister done to deserve such cruelty? And my 

children have no part in this. You will not harm them.” 

Her words caused Emmanuel’s expression to darken, a dangerous glint 

flashing in his eyes. His sister was enduring harsh treatment, and it gnawed 

at him. 

“You… Shut your mouth!” 

Xander stormed toward Gina and struck her hard across the face.

Larry instantly moved to shield his wife, standing tall as he spoke out. “It was our family and the Tanner family that first targeted the Quillen family and imprisoned his sister. That’s why Emmanuel seeks vengeance. Twisting the truth won’t change the facts. Our family’s wrongdoings will lead to our downfall. Today, my wife and I publicly sever ties with you.” 

There was a fierce righteousness in Larry’s stance, and his words rang out 

clearly. 

Emmanuel observed, realizing that Larry, though genuine in his words, was 

also making a calculated move, playing to both sides. 

“Good. Larry, you are indeed a man of integrity.” 

Emmanuel’s voice echoed with resolve as he declared, “Even if I must wash 

the Quill family in blood today, I will ensure you and your wife are spared s 

that your lineage can continue. Consider it repayment for your help with 

travel expenses all those years ago.” 

“Ha! Emmanuel, you can’t even protect yourself. Stop pretending to be

magnanimous!” 

Xander sneered in return.

Filled with fury, Jenson stepped forward and slapped his younger son across the face. “Larry, stop spouting nonsense here. Since you wish to sever ties 

with this family, I hereby declare that Owen will inherit the family from this 

moment forward!” 

From his hiding spot at the back, Owen could hardly believe his ears. Given 

how much he paled in comparison to Larry, he had never expected his father 

to favor him for the family business. Now, his fortune had abruptly shifted. 

Without hesitation, Owen rushed forward, his excitement overriding 

everything else. 

“Haha, Dad! Honestly, whether I inherit the family or not is irrelevant. What 

matters is that we stand united. Together, we will defeat Emmanuel and ri 

Eldoria of this rogue, protecting the order of Chanaea!” 

“Well said.”

“The formsily will thrive under your leadership” 

Emmanuel and his companions exchanged amused glances, easily 

recognizing the delusion clouding the Quill family’s vision. Their arrogant pride 

made it clear–their downfall was only a matter of time. 

At that moment, the old steward burst into the room, visibly trembling with 

excitement. “Everyone! Fantastic news! Commander Gray and the Silver Fox 

Military are on their way to assist the family!” 

The announcement sparked an immediate and dramatic shift in the 

atmosphere, an electrifying sense of anticipation sweeping over the 

gathered crowd. 

“Wonderful! Splendid!” voices cheered. 

Even the usually composed Deangelo couldn’t contain his joy. His booming 

laughter filled the air. “Ha ha ha! Emmanuel, your arrogance has led you
