A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Meanwhile, outside Pink Zone, two cars pulled up in haste and stopped

right in front of the entrance.

Two professional bodyguards opened the car doors, and Mackenzie

hurriedly led Beatrix into the bar.

More precisely, Beatrix was running after her long-legged cousin.

Seeing those imposing beauties, even Rat and Samuel didn’t dare to

recklessly approach them as it was apparent at first glance that the two

were ladies from wealthy families.

Milani was curious to see who had arrived and attracted everyone’s

attention.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t tall enough, and Mackenzie was moving too fast

for her to catch a glimpse.

Lexi had asked her again about Emmanuel’s whereabouts. Still, Milani

thought even Lexi’s advent wouldn’t stir such a huge commotion. So, who

is it?

Emmanuel was still inside the room, thinking about how to establish

contact with Yoel.

Seeing Xylie’s tattered clothes, he gentlemanly took off his coat to drape it

over her.

Unexpectedly, just as he removed his outerwear, the door to the private

room was opened from outside.

Emmanuel was dumbfounded when he glanced behind him. “M-Ms.

Quillen? Why are you here?”

Mackenzie wore an icy expression. Instead of answering him, she stepped

right into the room.

Beatrix also walked in and saw the scene. Shifting her eyes onto her

enraged cousin, she couldn’t help but tease, “Wow! Even the greatest men

couldn’t resist the charm of beautiful women. It seems like you must be an

exceptional man since the ladies wouldn’t stop enticing you.”

Emmanuel quickly glared at her. “Ms. Beatrix, you better watch what you’re

saying!”

“Hmph. An exceptional man? Why do you insist on flattering him? Does a

shameless man like him deserve such a compliment?”

Beatrix was astounded the moment Mackenzie spoke.

She had never seen Mackenzie insult someone so ruthlessly.

More unexpectedly, Mackenzie was behaving like a completely different

person from her usual self. “Emmanuel, I must’ve been an utterly horrible

person in my past lives to have met someone like you. Even wild animals

would refuse to feed on your corpse if a jerk like you died!”

Emmanuel could only smile wryly. He had known Mackenzie to be an

indifferent woman. Only today did he witness her true prowess in chiding

others. She curses without using vulgar words and with such eloquence.

She’s truly a capable woman!

Not to mention Emmanuel, even Beatrix had never seen that side of

Mackenzie after being alive for twenty years. It is no wonder why

Mackenzie is so furious. It’s already so late at night, yet Emmanuel is still

hanging out at a bar. It’s one thing for him not to come home late at night

but to undress and prepare to get into bed with a bar hostess? Can he be

more shameless?

Mackenzie had always thought Emmanuel was a gentleman, which was

why she didn’t despise him as she did toward other men. She was even

ready to follow him home.

Unfortunately, his reputation had plummeted that day.

She wasn’t going to go home with a man who was out gallivanting.

“Calm down. Calm down! Maybe things aren’t as you imagine.” Beatrice

held Mackenzie back, but her eyes darted from Xylie to Emmanuel. A look

of amusement spread across her face. Who would’ve thought that

Emmanuel is not only unforgiving to men but also to women? He even

ripped this gorgeous woman’s clothes to pieces. If Mackenzie had entered

a little later, the scene would’ve been even more spectacular, right?

“Calm down?” Mackenzie laughed. That’s right. I don’t even know why I’m

so angry. But when I barged into the room, I saw a man and a woman

alone inside. The woman’s clothes were in disarray, and the man was

undressing. Evidently, the two were about to engage in fornication. There

wasn’t even a need for an explanation to figure out what was happening.

This man is my husband, and he’s cheating on me, so how can I stay

calm?

5/5

“Ms. Quillen, hear me out. Things aren’t what you think.” Emmanuel waited

for her to finish scolding before finding an opportunity to explain.

“Ha! Sc*mbag!”

Chapter 72

Mackenzie wasn’t interested to listen to his explanation. She delivered a

tight slap across his face, then turned to leave.

Beatrix was stunned. Indeed, those who aren’t involved will always be

more clear-minded. Mackenzie is pissed off at him and has lost her

composure!

1

“Hear me out, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel grabbed Mackenzie’s wrist.

Despite getting slapped across the face, he was determined to clear

things up.

Xylie panicked and sat on the bed silently. This girl is so beautiful. What’s

her relationship with Emmanuel? They look like a couple, but why did he

address her as Ms. Quillen?

“Hmph! You have thirty seconds to explain yourself. Let’s see what excuses

you can come up with.” Mackenzie couldn’t shake him off. This man is so

strong and brazen! Not a single man has dared to grab my hand in the

twenty-seven years of my life.

FIT

“That’s right! Hurry up and make up a story-I mean, explain yourself. Who

knows? If it sounds convincing, we might believe you!” Beatrix was eager

to stir the pot. Although she said she might believe him, she didn’t mean it.

“I came to the bar because I was figuring out ways to fix the logo for the

company. This just happened by accident!” Emmanuel told the truth.

“Wow, that’s a refreshing way to brag.” Mackenzie didn’t believe him.

She turned around and left.

Beatrix stuck out her tongue at Emmanuel and followed suit. Emmanuel is

done for!

“Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel chased after them. At that moment, he couldn’t

be bothered about the project or Xylie. I’m doing all this to bring Mackenzie

home! Yet, she’s dumping me. Mom will be so disappointed! Also, I’ll

embarrass myself in front of Uncle Chester and Uncle Benny tomorrow!

The company’s project doesn’t concern me anymore.

In order to lose Emmanuel, Mackenzie told her driver to speed up and take

shortcuts on the road. I have to get home as quickly as possible and lock

the door to prevent that man from ever coming in!

3/5

“Please driver faster and catch up with the woman’s car in front!”

Emmanuel urged his taxi driver.

However, the driver turned around slightly and advised, “You can’t force

someone to love you back, my friend. Why are you stalking the woman? If

things go south, you might end up in jail!”

“Stalk?” Emmanuel was livid. “That’s my wife! Cut your nonsense! I’ll give

you two hundred if you can catch up.”

“Your wife? Sit tight, my friend!” The driver floored the accelerator when he

heard the money offered.

However, there was no way a taxi could catch up with Mackenzie’s luxury

car.

The distance between the two cars grew wider, and her car was soon out

of sight.

Right then, an MPV suddenly appeared from a dark alley, forcing

Mackenzie’s car to stop.

The screeching sound disrupted the peaceful night.

“Don’t you know how to drive?” Mackenzie’s driver wanted to give the

MPV’s driver an earful, but all of a sudden, a few burly men were seen

exiting the Mercedes-Benz.

Mackenzie’s driver was terrified when he saw that the men were armed

and up to no good. He quietly went back into the car.

“Mackenzie, what’s happening? It seems that these men have been

targeting us. Are they trying to rob us?” Beatrix asked.

“Don’t worry. I’m here.” Mackenzie then ordered the driver, “I’ll get out of the

car in a while. Drive away and find a safe spot to call the police!”

“No way, Mackenzie! What about you?” Beatrix wanted to convince

Mackenzie otherwise, but there was already a commotion outside.

“Get out! Get out!” the leader of the men, who was dressed in black,

shouted and broke the car window with a metal rod.

Clang!

Shards of glass flew everywhere, injuring the people in the car.

Chapter 73

Two more men appeared behind the car and smashed the rear

windscreen mercilessly with hammers.

“I’m scared, Mackenzie!” Beatrix had never been in a situation like that

before, and she was hugging Mackenzie in fear.

“Reverse the car!” Mackenzie commanded the driver. She was as cool as a

cucumber despite the dangerous situation they were in.

When the driver reversed the car and forced the men behind the car to

retreat, Mackenzie opened the car door and hopped out of the car.

The moment she alighted, the men surrounded her, giving the driver the

chance to bring Beatrix to safety.

However, a car showed up from behind and blocked their escape route.

Mackenzie thought it was the enemies, but upon taking a closer look, she

saw Emmanuel in the car..

“What a fool!” Mackenzie fumed. He’s blocking Beatrix’s escape route!

What an incompetent man!

Mackenzie was enraged, but she didn’t have time to reprimand Emmanuel

because a few burly men were charging toward her.

Mackenzie swiftly grabbed one of the men’s hands and broke his arm.

Mackenzie’s driver was stunned when he saw her defeating the man in a

single move. He turned and glanced at Beatrix, who was trembling in fear.

They grew up in the same household, no? Why are they so different?

Beatrix knew what was on his mind. She thundered, “What are you looking

at? Mackenzie and I are just different!”

Meanwhile, Mackenzie had defeated three other men.

Right when she thought she had defeated them, she felt her heart skip a

beat because she realized someone was attacking her from behind.

She tried to turn around and stop the man, but she failed.

2/9

The man was quicker than her, and he managed to counter all her moves.

Shit!

Mackenzie was certain that the man was a trained murderer, and she was

no match for him.

1

Noticing that Mackenzie was at a disadvantage, Beatrix screamed, “Watch

out, Mackenzie!”

The man suddenly grabbed her wrists, and Mackenzie was too weak to

break free. There and then, she saw a metal rod swinging toward her. He’s

going to kill me! The metal rod is coming nearer, and I can’t dodge it!

Beatrix knew Mackenzie was in grave danger, and she was horror-struck.

Thud!

At that critical moment, a strong man shielded Mackenzie and held the

metal rod with one hand.

“Emmanuel!” Mackenzie was shocked. He looks so brave and cool! He

doesn’t look like someone who would cheat on his wife!

“How dare you hurt my wife? I’ll kill you!” Emmanuel roared domineeringly.

“Fool!” The man was angered. He let go of Mackenzie’s wrists to swing his

metal rod at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel caught the metal rod with ease.

Mackenzie was stupefied. I couldn’t even break free from the man, but

Emmanuel has just handled him with ease!

Emmanuel threw a punch and sent the man flying away. The punch was

so powerful that the man’s teeth shattered on the spot.

“Wow! That’s so cool!” Beatrix, who was watching from inside the car,

clapped excitedly.

Needless to say, Beatrix was no longer worried or anxious. Emmanuel is so

powerful! What a man!

The rest of the burly men knew they were no match for Emmanuel when

they saw him fight. They abandoned their fallen friends and quickly

returned to their car.

“Don’t let them run!” Mackenzie ordered and went after the burly men.

Emmanuel felt helpless when he saw that. I knew my wife was an

indifferent woman, but I didn’t know she was this tough.

Yet, Beatrix saw it coming. Mackenzie will go after those who mess with

her!

“Be careful!” Emmanuel suddenly shouted.

He had been on the battlefield, so he could sense danger from miles

away.

When the burly men in the car saw Mackenzie chasing after them, they

threw daggers at her.

Mackenzie was caught by surprise.

Emmanuel pounced on her and pushed her to the ground.

5/9

Fearing that Mackenzie would get hurt, he swiftly got under her to cushion

the fall.

The burly men fled and didn’t dare to fight back because they were

stunned by Emmanuel’s fighting skills and aura.

“Hey, are you all right?” Mackenzie sat up and shook Emmanuel’s body.

“M-Ms. Quillen… could you promise me that you will come home with me

to see my mother tomorrow?” Emmanuel held her hand tightly and stared

at her passionately.

“How could you ask that question at a time like this?” Mackenzie clenched

her teeth, worried that the daggers might’ve hit him.

“P-Promise me you’ll come home with me!” Emmanuel stammered. Mom

has already prepared everything. If Mackenzie were to reject me now,

Mom would be utterly disappointed! Heck, Mom might not be able to take

-it-emotionally!

“I didn’t say I wasn’t going back.” With that personality of hers, Mackenzie

would never promise him anything directly.

Emmanuel chuckled upon hearing that. She’s right. She never said she

wasn’t going back with me.

“Haha! Let’s get out of here!” Beatrix said to the driver, knowing Emmanuel

wasn’t injured. Emmanuel did that to scare Mackenzie! If Mackenzie finds

out about it, he’s doomed!

“Ms. Beatrix, won’t Ms. Mackenzie get angry if we leave now?” The driver

didn’t dare to drive off.

7/9

“Are you not scared about pissing me off? If we don’t leave now, we’ll be

playing gooseberry!” Beatrix glared at the driver. “If you don’t drive away

now, I’ll fire you tomorrow! If you leave now and Mackenzie reprimands you

tomorrow, I’ll defend you. Don’t worry!”

Only then did the driver dare to speed off.

Mackenzie didn’t know the driver had already driven off. She hurriedly

reached out to touch Emmanuel’s back. What? This is sweat instead of

blood!

Perplexed, Mackenzie looked around and saw three daggers on the

ground. None of the daggers hit him!

“You! You were pretending!” Mackenzie didn’t expect Emmanuel to pull

such a trick on her. I never knew he was a sharp-witted man because he

seemed so innocent! He fooled me! One truly can’t judge a book by its

cover!

“I wasn’t pretending!” Emmanuel laughed. “I was merely panting because I

was tired!”

“Go to hell!” Mackenzie stood up, stomped her feet, and turned around to

leave. What? My car is gone! Damn it! I’ll give Trixy a piece of my mind

when I’m back.

Seeing that Mackenzie’s car was gone, Emmanuel dashed toward her. “I

didn’t say I was hurt, did I?”

Mackenzie snorted coldly and turned away. I’m not in the mood to talk to

him!

“By the way, should we call the police? Do you know who sent those men

to attack you?” Emmanuel asked.

“Of course I do.” Despite deciding to ignore Emmanuel just a few seconds

ago, Mackenzie answered immediately, “It must be Gautier!”

Chapter 74

“The Verkades’ company is our company’s bitter rival. They couldn’t bear

to see us completing our project, so he wanted to get rid of me! If I died,

they could snatch the project from us!” Mackenzie deduced confidently.

Emmanuel couldn’t help realizing something. It seems that Mackenzie will

only use derogatory terms to address me. Judging by the look in her eyes,

I can tell that she’s pissed off at Gautier. Yet, she didn’t address him the

way she would address me. Does she really hate me that much?

“What are you waiting for? Get a taxi and let’s go home!” Mackenzie kicked

Emmanuel. He’s so dumb! Was he waiting for me to get a taxi?

Instead of doing what she told him to, Emmanuel asked, “How about the

logo for our project? I did all that at the bar to get the craftsman from

Cloud Construction to finish the job!”

Only then did Mackenzie learn about the truth. It seems that this

gynecologist wasn’t there to cheat.

.

Chapter 74 Mackenzie Is Falling For That Man

Mackenzie had thought Emmanuel was fooling around with Xylie because

Xylie looked innocent and pretty. However, she changed her mind upon

hearing how sincere Emmanuel sounded.

“Are you seriously thinking about forcing that man back to work and

completing the job by tomorrow?” Mackenzie was amused.

Emmanuel nodded firmly in response.

Mackenzie wanted to laugh at him, but she held back her laughter.

Although he’s a bit dense, he’s a serious man.

“Forget about it. Send them the original picture again and tell them to

complete the job as soon as possible!”

“Uh…” Emmanuel was confused. “How about the ribbon-cutting

ceremony?”

2/5

“Well, I’ll deal with that.” Mackenzie was full of confidence because she had

dealt with countless issues and knew she could easily solve the

aforementioned problem.

Soon, Emmanuel hailed a taxi and accompanied Mackenzie back to

Yociam Residence. However, he remained in the car upon arriving at the

residential area.

“Hey! Where are you going?” Mackenzie was annoyed. I never liked people

waking me up from my sleep. It’s already past midnight. Where does this

man think he’s going?

3/5

“I’m going to look for Mr. Larson. You’ll be safe now that you’re home. I won’t

be coming home tonight. Sleep tight!”

With that, Emmanuel told the driver to drive away.

“What a fool!” Mackenzie was enraged. No one has ever dared to defy my

orders! I’ve already told him to set the matter aside, but he won’t listen!

Forget about it. It’s not like he can settle the issue.

To her surprise, she was told the next day that Cloud Construction had

completed the job, and the logo was fixed.

Mackenzie was in a meeting when she received the news. She was

shocked, and she couldn’t help smiling.

Although the smile on Mackenzie’s face vanished within a second, Beatrix

noticed it. No! Why does it seem like Mackenzie is falling for that man?

After the meeting, Mackenzie drove back to Yociam Residence. When she

opened the door, she found Emmanuel sleeping on the couch. He’s

snoring! He worked through the night, didn’t he?

Mackenzie furrowed her brows because she hated men who snored in

their sleep.

At the same time, she knew that she could touch him to stop him from

snoring or even wake him up.

Mackenzie approached him unhesitatingly and lifted her arm. However,

she lowered it once again.

In the end, she merely frowned and let Emmanuel sleep.

Evidently, Emmanuel was in a deep sleep, and he only woke up the next

morning. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was sleeping with a

blanket over his face.

575

He sat up at once and saw Mackenzie attending to her houseplants on the

balcony. I must admit that she’s very talented and artistic. All of her plants

are pleasant to look at.

Apparently, Emmanuel was also feasting his eyes on Mackenzie. She was

dressed casually in white. At that moment, she looked like an angel, and

he was mesmerized.

Chapter 75

Emmanuel only regained his senses when he saw Mackenzie sweeping a

glance at him. Wait a minute. No matter how beautiful she is, she’s still a

cold woman!

“Why did you cover my face with the blanket? It’s not like I’m dead!”

Emmanuel asked.

Mackenzie glared at him and continued attending to her plants. “You were

snoring so loud. You’re lucky I didn’t kill you!”

I don’t know about others, but I know Mackenzie is more than willing to kill

  1. Emmanuel stood up and felt how chilly it was. “Thank you!”

It was the start of autumn, and he was merely wearing a thin shirt. Without

the blanket, he could’ve caught a cold.

Mackenzie feigned aloofness and replied, “Why are you thanking me for

trying to kill you?”

“Thank you for agreeing to return home with me! My mom must be

forked tongue. That’s a bad habit.

Mackenzie frowned and kept mum upon hearing that.

“I’ll wash up and we can leave soon.” Emmanuel went to wash up, taking

Mackenzie’s silence as consent. We’ve been staying together for a while

now. I’m slowly learning the key to communicating with Mackenzie.

“Let’s just drive my car!” Mackenzie was ready to go as soon as Emmanuel

was done washing up.

Mackenzie was so pretty that she didn’t even need to use makeup. With

just a new set of clothes on, she looked even prettier than most women

with makeup on.

That also changed Emmanuel’s views on women because he had always

thought women needed a long time to get ready to leave the house.

“My family lives in a rather underdeveloped area. I’m afraid your car will

attract too much attention!” Emmanuel knew Mackenzie had a convertible

Maserati that was worth over three million. That was the car he saw during

the wedding.

Mackenzie let out a cold snort. I’m already driving the cheapest car to look

poor!

Emmanuel hadn’t seen the limited edition sports cars Mackenzie kept in

the mansion.

“Just drive my car!” she demanded.

“All right!” Emmanuel didn’t dare to disobey Mackenzie because he feared

she would change her mind at the last minute.

The moment the two left Yociam Residence, a private detective staking

out at the residential area immediately reported back to Terence.

Terence was thrilled when he heard the news from the private detective.

“Yes! This is awesome! I’m having a great-grandchild soon!”

When he forced Mackenzie to marry Emmanuel back then, he‍had been

Chapter 75 Chicken

worried that Emmanuel might not be able to deal with Mackenzie’s

temper. That was why Terence was surprised to learn that Mackenzie was

willing to follow Emmanuel back to his home.

I knew it! Emmanuel is a capable man! Terence hung up the phone, put on

some simple clothes, and ordered his driver to drive him out. Today, I’m

presented with a golden opportunity to meet Emmanuel’s parents and
