A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431

As Beatrix rushed to the front of the Maserati and saw Mackenzie’s sharp

gaze, she quickly covered her mouth and wondered if she had done

something wrong again. Did Emmanuel still not know Mackenzie’s true

identity?

Emmanuel wasn’t as foolish as they thought. He immediately chuckled and

said, “Actually, I should have figured it out long ago. When my mother and I

went to apply for a job at Terence Group, we got hired easily. It turns out

we’re family!”

Beatrix stuck out her tongue at him. She did not praise him for guessing the

truth but instead teased him. “You dummy, you only realized it now! You

almost drove me crazy!”

Mackenzie no longer concealed it and snorted coldly. “Now that you know I’m

not inferior to Claudette, do you still want to find other rich and beautiful

women outside?”

As soon as she mentioned Claudette, the atmosphere changed.

Emmanuel immediately became serious and said, “Ms. Quillen, you can

dislike me and even divorce me, but please don’t humiliate Claudette and

  1. Furthermore, don’t make baseless assumptions about our relationship!”

Mackenzie finally found Emmanuel today and even stood up for him

forcefully, so she was originally quite happy. However, she didn’t expect that

her casual teasing would cause him to change his attitude so suddenly.

As the CEO of Terence Group, when had it become his turn to lecture her with

such a stern expression?

You’re repaying kindness with enmity!

Emmanuel didn’t care about Mackenzie’s icy expression and continued

sternly, “Claudette and I have never done anything to wrong you, and she’s

already dead. Please stop saying such things! If you think I wanted to be with

you for the money, I’ll leave now!”

After speaking, he opened the car door and prepared to get out.

“Hey, Emmanuel! Don’t go!”

Beatrix was really angered by how stupid Emmanuel was and quickly

stretched out her hands to stop him. Standing up for her sister, Beatrix said.

“Do you have no conscience? Do you know how much effort and resources

Mackenzie spent to find you? She just stood up for you, and now you want to

turn your back on her because of a joke?”

Only then did Emmanuel pause and realize that Mackenzie’s remark might

have been just a joke, and he was being too sensitive.

However, when he looked at Mackenzie, she had already angrily turned away.

She knew why he was angry, but she didn’t mean any harm with her words.

He was so detestable and she didn’t want to pay attention to him anymore.

“Ms. Quillen, you can joke about anything, but please don’t disrespect

Claudette anymore. She’s already sacrificed herself for me. Can you please

stop insulting her?”

Emmanuel was still a man, and he didn’t want to go through all the trouble of

making amends with Mackenzie only to have a fallout again so quickly. So, he

expressed his request.

In the next moment, he felt that he had indeed been a bit sensitive and

decided to apologize to her.

“I’m sorry-”

“Hmph! I’m sorry!”

However, he didn’t expect that she would apologize to him at the same time.

-Afterward, the atmosphere changed for the second time.

Emmanuel smiled. “It’s okay!”

Mackenzie also snorted coldly but secretly smiled!

She understood how relationships worked now. It could easily make people

cry or laugh.

“Mackenzie, I’ll drive you back then!”

“Yeah, I’m a bit hungry. I want you to make me lemon butter garlic salmon!”

“All right, I also want to eat with you!”

Seeing the couple, who were arguing one moment and then apologizing and

smiling at each other the next, Beatrix became displeased!

“Dear lord, can you two stop it? Your public display of affection caught me off

guard and I’m left blinded by your actions. Regardless, today I’m determined

to go to your house and mooch a meal!”

However, her sister and brother-in-law didn’t seem to be listening to what

she said, as if she was irrelevant!

Beatrix let out a sigh after watching the two of them exchanging glances in

the rearview mirror. Why did she bring this upon herself? Why did she have to

ride in this car? She felt like such a third wheel…

Chapter 432

Shortly after Mackenzie and the Quillen family’s entourage left Zion Hotel, a

car stopped at its entrance.

A middle-aged man in his fifties stepped out of the car. Vivian, who had been

beaten up by Mackenzie, immediately stumbled over to greet him with a

group of lackeys.

“Hello, Mr. Wallace!”

“Why did you suddenly come for an inspection?”

Vivian asked deliberately. In fact, she had already guessed the reason

behind his visit.

“Who are you to ask me? Where’s Mariah?”

Ignacio Wallace, the current owner of Zion Hotel, had jointly invested in the

five-star hotel with Mariah’s father back in the day.

However, after Mariah’s father passed away, Ignacio acquired all the shares

of the hotel, but still allowed the descendants of the Lofis family to manage it.

At this moment, Ignacio reprimanded Vivian with a stern voice, and she didn’t

even dare to let out a sound while cowering like a frightened dog.

The employees who had been bullied by Vivian looked on and silently

despised her. She was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

“Mr. Wallace, I’m here!”

Mariah finally came out to greet Ignacio. After seeing Ignacio’s expression,

she felt a bit uneasy and feared that he would scold her.

“Come inside with me!”

Ignacio wasted no time and coldly gave her an order in front of the hotel

staff.

He had actually shown some restraint, considering Mariah’s deceased father.

Otherwise, he would have scolded her right then and there.

“Is it your doing? You didn’t even pay the employees their salary after they

resigned? Who gave you the audacity to do such a thing? Now that the

young lady of the Quillen family knows about this, the whole world will know

about the shady practices in our hotel once it spreads. You’re tarnishing the

reputation of our hotel!”

Once they entered the general manager’s office, Ignacio launched a torrent

of scolding at Mariah.

Mariah didn’t dare to argue back. If it were someone else who had caught

her, she could still deny it. However, who would have thought that it would be

the young lady of the Quillen family from Yeringham? Furthermore, the man

whose salary she had withheld happened to be Mackenzie’s man!

This absurd situation had actually occurred and it left her speechless!

“Mr. Wallace, it was Vivian who did it. I didn’t know! I will definitely fire Vivian.

Please give me another chance!”

At this point, Mariah could only make Vivian a scapegoat.

Ignacio stared at Mariah for a long time. Although he knew the secret behind

this matter, he still decided to give her another chance for her deceased

father’s sake.

“Mariah! Mariah!”

Just as they were discussing this matter, a loud shout came from outside the

door.

The next moment, a young man forcefully opened the door and barged in

while disregarding the attempts of the staff that stopped him.

It was none other than Noah, who had tried to propose on the street

yesterday but had his candle kicked over, by Mackenzie.

He happened to be Mariah’s younger brother and had come today seeking

his sister’s help.

“This is outrageous!”

Mariah, who usually doted on her brother, immediately scolded him upon

seeing him. “Is the hotel’s general manager’s office a place for you to barge

into?”

Noah was a bit stunned by the scolding, but when he looked up and saw that

Ignacio was also present, he understood that his sister and Ignacio were

discussing important matters.

“Never mind, Noah. What’s the matter?”

Ignacio had no children of his own and Noah didn’t have a father, so Ignacio

had always treated him like a godchild and was more tolerant of him.

“Mr. Wallace, since you’re here too, you and Mariah should help me get

revenge!” Noah quickly explained the situation.

Chapter 433

Noah boasted in front of Milani that he would make that arrogant woman

pay the price!

Did Mackenzie think she was impressive just because she drove a Maserati?

Little did she know that a car worth a few hundred thousand meant nothing

in front of Ignacio!

“What? That woman was this arrogant?”

Ignacio’s brow furrowed as he listened to Noah.

He was also a prominent figure in Onza. When Noah’s father passed away,

Ignacio promised to take good care of his family. Now that Noah was bullied

so badly, he had to stand up for Noah, or else he would be criticized!

“That’s right! Mr. Wallace, we took her photo. Please help me find out who she

is and make her pay!”

“All right. Leave it to me!”

Ignacio patted his chest and was happy to play the role. This way, he would

be able to maintain his image as a loyal and righteous uncle.

However, as soon as he saw the photos sent by Noah, his eyes widened in

shock, and he became so anxious that he smacked Noah’s head and

completely changed his attitude!

“Do you have no sense of public decency? Who allowed you to block the

traffic? Your father isn’t here, so I’ll teach you a lesson instead! Let’s see if you

dare to do this again in the future! You’re really shameless!”

Slap! Slap!

Noah received one also after the other, leaving him dumbfounded!

Was Ignacio a master of disguise? Ignacio just said he would stand up for

Noah, and now Ignacio was accusing him of lacking public decency!

Mariah was also puzzled. She ran over to protect her brother and find out

what was going on. However, when she saw Mackenzie’s photo, she

immediately understood!

The young lady from the Quillen family was really their nemesis. Why was it

her again?

“Forget it, Mr. Wallace. Noah is still young and doesn’t know any better! At

most, he only deserves a scolding!”

After Mariah pleaded, Ignacio huffed and left while feeling that this sibling

duo loved causing trouble. They just had to pick a fight with the young lady of

the Quillen family from Yeringham. Did they not know that he also had

business dealings with them?

Offending the Quillen family could make their business evaporate instantly!

“Mariah, what’s going on? Do you know this woman?”

Although Noah was arrogant, he wasn’t stupid. Ignacio’s sudden change of

attitude must have something to do with this woman’s identity.

-Sure enough, Mariah told him, “Noah, don’t be foolish! Do you think such an

arrogant woman is an ordinary person? She’s the heiress of Yeringham’s

wealthiest family, the CEO of Terence Group, Mackenzie Quillen!”

“What?”

Noah was genuinely shocked. He had thought that Mackenzie, who had

wanted to personally fight him earlier, was at most an ordinary executive

without any bodyguards. He had never expected her to be such a powerful

figure from a super-wealthy family..

He was in trouble!

It seemed that his plan to retaliate against Mackenzie was ruined. The

problem was, he had already made promises. If this matter was brushed

aside, how could he convince Milani to sleep with him? He would lose his

reputation in front of his lackeys!

However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the other party had

such a powerful background. As he left the hotel, he heard Vivian’s voice from

behind him. “Mr. Lofis! Mr. Lofis!”

He turned around and was surprised to see Vivian with a swollen face,

looking like she had been beaten up.

“Oh, my goodness, Miss Zora! What happened to you? Why are you waiting at

the hotel entrance?” Noah was startled and asked.

Vivian didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, “Mr. Lofis, is your

enemy the young lady from the Quillen family? I can help you seek revenge!”.

“You?”

Noah laughed disdainfully as if he had just heard the biggest joke in the

-world. “Even Mr. Wallace doesn’t dare to offend Mackenzie, but you, a lackey,

think you can help me seek revenge? Are you kidding me?”

Chapter 434

Vivian wasn’t angry but instead had a dark expression on her face as she

said in a low voice, “Do you know how to play chess, Mr. Lofis?”

“What do you mean? Just speak clearly!” Noah frowned and asked.

She didn’t beat around the bush and muttered, “No matter how high the

status of the young lady of the Quillen family is, she’s still a woman, right? As

long as you give me a little remuneration, I can figure out a way to get rid of

her for you. How about that?”

He was instantly shocked and his eyes widened in disbelief!

He froze in his spot for some time before cursing, “Are you f*cking crazy? Is it

necessary to kill someone over such a small matter? You’re insane! Get away

from me, you crazy woman!”

With that, he walked away like he was avoiding the plague.

Vivian cursed under her breath, “Bah! He’s just like his sister. They only target

insignificant people like me, but when they encounter important figures, they

become cowards! How useless! The whole family is useless!”

Although she couldn’t incite Noah to deal with Mackenzie, she had no

intention of letting that arrogant woman go. Mackenzie had ruined her face

and made her lose her job. She couldn’t take this lying down no matter what.

“Just wait. There will be a time when that woman will cry!” Vivian’s eyes were

filled with resentment as she spoke.

Compared to men, a woman’s grudge could sometimes be more terrifying

because it could last longer! Furthermore, women who held grudges could

do things more outrageous than men!

Meanwhile, Beatrix returned to Quillen residence looking angry.

“Beatrix, what’s wrong? Who bullied you?” Terence was waiting for news in the

hall, and when he saw Beatrix like this, he couldn’t help but ask.

Beatrix immediately ran to Terence and complained, “Grandpa, Mackenzie is

so unfair!”

“Is that so?”

After hearing her words, Alfred couldn’t help but ask curiously, “How is Ms.

Quillen unfair?”

As far as he knew, the two sisters had the best relationship and Mackenzie

had always taken care of Beatrix. How could Mackenzie be unfair?

“She prioritizes love over sisterhood!” Beatrix pouted and complained, “I

-helped her find Emmanuel and didn’t go to work for half a month. It was such

hard work!”

Uh… Taking a half-month break and calling it hard work? What kind of logic is

that? You’re enjoying yourself, around you?

Terence and Alfred exchanged glances while suppressing their urge to laugh.

Beatrix didn’t care about what the two old men were thinking and continued

to sob. “You know what Mackenzie did? When Emmanuel returned, she didn’t

even thank me. She went straight home with him to build her love nest, while

leaving me all alone and reminding me to be on time for work tomorrow. It’s

so unfair!”

“Hahaha…”

Not only did Terence not console her, but he also burst into laughter.

He was extremely satisfied with Mackenzie’s actions. Absence made the

heart grow fonder. They might even end up making a baby tonight!

Alfred knew what Terence was thinking and laughed along with him.

“You… How can you laugh? Don’t you have any sympathy at all?”

Beatrix stomped her foot in frustration. She had hoped to take this

opportunity to enter Mackenzie and Emmanuel’s home and freeload on their

meals every day.

Chapter 435

Mackenzie had always boasted in front of her by saying that Emmanuel

cooked delicious food. Beatrix also wanted to know what it feels like to be

pampered by a househusband while getting plump and chubby.

However, who would have thought that reality could be so cruel? Mackenzie

couldn’t even fulfill Beatrix’s small wish. Mackenzie asked Emmanuel to cook a

feast but sent her home. She was really heartless!

Terence still didn’t comfort her. He even demanded that she tell him more

about Emmanuel and Mackenzie’s relationship and how they reunite. Did

their feelings for each other deepen? Did they have any plans to do what

couples usually did tonight?

Beatrix was already annoyed by their display of affection today, and now she

was being forced to recall the scenes. She really wanted to complain that

Terence was heartless!

“Grandpa, I’m not going to entertain you anymore! I’m going to find a

boyfriend tomorrow and snatch the spotlight from my sister!”

Then, she left in a huff.

If she really found a boyfriend, Terence would be happy about it. After all, no

matter who it was, as long as they could give him a great-grandchild, it

would be a good thing.

However, Terence also had his own ulterior motives. He had high hopes for

Mackenzie as she was talented, and since she was the eldest, he wanted her

to give birth to a great-grandchild first.

Not long after Beatrix left, Felicity slowly entered the hall. She looked at

Terence, who was still excited, and let out a sigh.

“Dad, there’s something I didn’t mention before, but now I must discuss it with

you.”

The smile on Terence’s face gradually faded after he heard Felicity’s voice.

Then, he put on a serious expression. “What’s the matter?”

She could see the change in his expression and felt even more pressure, but

for the sake of her daughter and herself, she had to speak up. “I really feel

that Emmanuel is not worthy of Mackenzie. I know you want to have a

great-grandchild, so why don’t you let me handle this?”

Originally, she was relieved when Mackenzie and Emmanuel got divorced

previously. No matter what had happened in the past, it was all in the past.

However, she didn’t expect Emmanuel, that shameless man, to come back,

and that Mackenzie would still have feelings for him. As a mother, she

couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

Terence snorted coldly. “You don’t need to meddle in this matter. They’re fine

the way they are now!”

Felicity still refused to give up and reminded him, “Dad, don’t forget that

because of Claudette’s matter, General Lenoir already bears a grudge

against Emmanuel. If you insist on letting Mackenzie be with that man, it

might bring trouble to the Quillen family!”

“Why should we fear the Lenoir family?”

Terence’s anger began to rise. “I actually quite like Claudette. The fact that

she was willing to stand up for Emmanuel is a heroic and tear-jerking act.

Who is General Lenoir to blame Emmanuel for this? If he can’t distinguish right

from wrong, I’ll have to teach him a lesson!”

In Yeringham, only Terence had the qualifications and ability to say such

things.

However, Felicity persisted and sighed. “General Lenoir is my older brother, so

I know him best. Whatever he says, he will definitely do it. Besides that, two

young masters from prestigious families have expressed their interest in

Mackenzie. If she’s willing, they’re ready to marry her immediately. How about

“Who are they?”

Terence became curious. Who were the young masters who proposed to

Felicity? Didn’t they know that he, the head of the Quillen family, was the one

who had the final say?

“One is from a renowned family outside of Yeringham, and the other is the

young master of the Verkade family in Yeringham,” she replied calmly.

He couldn’t help but show a disdainful expression. “Hubert, that trash? How

can he be worthy of my granddaughter?”

Only then did Felicity continue speaking. “It’s not Hubert, but the eldest young

master of the Verkade family, the heir of the Verkade family, Gautier

Verkade!”

“What?”

Upon hearing this name, Terence was surprised.

Gautier had always been the Quillen family’s number-one business rival. Why

was he actively proposing a marriage alliance with the Quillen family? What

was the real motive behind this?

Chapter 436

Felicity seemed unaware of Terence’s concerns and continued to smile while

saying, “Dad, since it’s Gautier we’re talking about, wouldn’t he be a suitable

match for Mackenzie? After all, he is also recognized as a business genius in

Yeringham, and the business plans of our families complement each other!”

“Shut up!” Terence interrupted angrily.
