A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 

“Take all of these things back!” 

Emmanuel had Terence take everything back after 

hitching a ride. 

“What?” 

Terence wasn’t the only one shocked by Emmanuel’s 

demand, though. Alessandra and Roselynn were just 

as surprised as he was. 

“These things are worth at least ten million! Are you 

sure you don’t want them?” Terence asked again to 

make sure his ears weren’t deceiving him. 

Ten million may be a small figure for me, but it should 

be an astronomical sum for this young man and his 

family! 

“That’s right; I don’t want them. My late father taught 

me not to accept things I don’t deserve. I can’t be 

accepting such expensive gifts simply for helping you,” 

Emmanuel replied firmly. 

Roselynn could only let out a helpless sigh when she 

saw how noble he was. 

Alessandra felt a little upset as she wondered when 

Emmanuel would be able to find himself a girlfriend 

and get married.

“Haha! Very well, then!” 

Terence nodded excitedly and brought the gifts home. 

Fearing that Mackenzie wouldn’t believe him, he even 

recorded the entire process and showed it to her as 

proof.

“Do you see that, Mackenzie? I told you that man would 

be able to pass the test! Now that you’ve lost the bet, 

it’s time to honor your word and marry him! I want my 

grandchildren!” Terence urged her. 

Although Mackenzie said nothing in response, she was 

not one to go back on her word. Since she had lost the 

bet with her grandfather, she decided to take care of 

things the next day. Otherwise, he would surely pester 

her about it every day. 

Emmanuel received a phone call from an unknown 

number very early the next day. 

“Since you refused to accept my gifts yesterday, I have 

decided to introduce a potential wife to you instead. 

You wouldn’t say no to this, would you, young man?” 

This voice… It’s the strange old man from yesterday! 

“Hey, old man, are you some kind of scammer or 

something? Is this a new tactic to scam people out of 

their life savings?” Emmanuel responded with a 

chuckle. 

Of course, he didn’t actually think Terence was a 

scammer. He could tell from Terence’s aura that the 

old man was incredibly wealthy. 

However, he couldn’t seem to figure out why Terence 

chose him out of everyone else. 

Terence deliberately taunted him by saying, “Haha! 

Yes, I want to scam you into marrying a woman. What’s 

the matter? Are you scared?” 

“What a coincidence! That’s the only thing I’m not 

afraid of!” Emmanuel replied seriously. 

Alessandra had been pestering him non-stop after his 

eighteenth matchmaking session ended in failure 

yesterday, so he was willing to marry any woman just 

to shut her up. 

“Then head over to City Hall right now with all the 

relevant documents,” Terence instructed. 

Fine! I’ll go! I’m not afraid of getting married! 

With that in mind, Emmanuel did as told and headed 

over to City Hall with all the relevant documents.

Terence had told him that the other party was a strong 

and capable professional in the corporate world, so 

Emmanuel did not have high hopes for her 

appearance. 

Being a gynecologist, he had gotten so used to seeing 

the female body that he didn’t even care about her 

figure. 

All Emmanuel wanted was for her to have a decent 

character. 

At the very least, she would have to be better than 

Milani. 

His jaw dropped in shock when he arrived at City Hall 

and saw the woman he was supposed to marry. 

What? Mackenzie? 

Her icy-cold aura and the red convertible she was in 

was a clear indicator that she was from a wealthy 

family. Despite how beautiful she looked, no guy dared 

hit on her because she was clearly out of their league. 

“Well? What are you waiting for? Come on over!” 

Mackenzie called out to him. 

Her gaze alone was enough to make Emmanuel 

comply obediently. 

That old man wasn’t lying when he said she was a 

powerful woman in the corporate world! She has such 

an authoritative and domineering air about her!

“Ms. Quillen? Are you the one who wants to marry me?” 

Emmanuel asked as he was still in disbelief. 

“What, you don’t want to marry me?” Mackenzie 

retorted with a slight frown. 

Man, that icy-cold aura of hers sure is scary! I bet she’s 

still single because most guys are intimidated by her! 

“Of course I do! I wouldn’t have come here otherwise!” 

10/20 

Emmanuel wasn’t sure if he was excited or afraid of his 

situation. 

Mackenzie may be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever 

seen, but she seems a bit difficult to get along with. Oh, 

well… I just need to get married to shut my mother up, 

so it doesn’t really matter if we get along or not! 

“Then let’s head inside and get this over with!” 

Mackenzie said as she got out of the car and walked 

right into City Hall. 

Having gotten used to doing things by herself, she was 

all alone even when getting married. 

She was walking so fast that Emmanuel had to jog to 

ik 

keep up with her. 

“Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider this? It’s not 

too late to change your mind,” Mackenzie reminded 

him when they were about to get registered as a 

married couple. 

Since she didn’t actually want to marry Emmanuel, she 

hoped that he would change his mind. That way, 

Terence would have no choice but to stop pressuring 

her. 

“For someone with a cold personality, you sure are 

surprisingly hesitant and indecisive,” Emmanuel replied 

with a nonchalant smile. 

The look in Mackenzie’s eyes intensified when she 

heard that. Her gaze was so sharp that it was as 

though it could slice Emmanuel in half. 

“You’d better not regret it, then!” 

མ ། 

That was the final thing Mackenzie told him before 

they got married. 

Ten minutes later, the two of them walked out of City 

Hall with their marriage certificate in hand. 

Because Mackenzie had remained silent and 

maintained an icy-cold expression the entire time, the 

staff at the registration counter even wondered if they 

had come to the wrong counter. 

Are they here to get divorced or married?

“I’m only marrying you to fulfill a promise I made to my 

grandfather, so don’t take this marriage too seriously. 

You can just carry on with your life, and I’ll do the same 

on my end. I won’t even care if you’ll be sleeping 

around with other women,” Mackenzie said coldly. 

Although a little hurt, Emmanuel couldn’t help but 

smile in amusement when he heard that. 

Did Mackenzie get our roles mixed up or something? 

Usually, it’s the job of the sc*mbag husband to say 

those lines to his wife. 

“Oh, by the way, you mentioned that you haven’t 

bought a house, right?” Mackenzie asked all of a 

sudden.. 

“Yes, that’s right,” Emmanuel replied with a nod.

Mackenzie then handed him a set of keys, much to his 

surprise. 

As the CEO of Terence Group, she had gotten used to 

being prepared.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Emmanuel asked. 

“It’s a patriarchal world that we live in, so women are 

expected to move in with their husbands. I refuse to 

move into your house, so I got us our own place 

instead. You can stay there from now on, but keep in
