Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 1248

Chapter 1248 No Turning Back

“Mackenzie, do you think the Quillen family must ally with the Verkade family to dominate Yeringham and become a formal member of the National Chamber of Commerce?” Emmanuel asked earnestly.

“Not necessarily,” Mackenzie replied seriously. “I actually have another way, but it may not be easier than allying with the Verkade family.”

“Oh! I’d love to hear it,” Emmanuel responded with interest.

“The Quillen family will participate in the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown.”

“What?!” As soon as Mackenzie finished speaking, Emmanuel was taken aback. He never imagined that she would

be interested in such an event.

“Your reaction seems a bit excessive, doesn’t it?” Mackenzie, with her keen observation, stared at Emmanuel and

asked.

“Yes, I’m quite surprised.” Emmanuel laughed and tried to cover it up as he said, “Aren’t women generally uninterested in fighting and killing?”

“I’m not like Claudette, a gentle and virtuous woman,” Mackenzie said coldly.

The sudden mention of Claudette caught Emmanuel off guard. He was surprised at how difficult it was to deal with

her words now.

In fact, he received a call from Ashton today. She led a team to investigate that strange plantation. They indeed found no second person, no tunnels, secret passages, or hidden rooms, which dispelled Emmanuel’s various

doubts.

After all, Ashton had mentioned that many beautiful women were captured and taken to the deep mountains and forests. They were secretly imprisoned by men as playthings, suffering torture and living a life worse than death.

This was Emmanuel’s greatest fear.

Now that Claudette had not been found, he was worried but somewhat relieved in this regard.

“Why aren’t you speaking? Are you lost in memories when I mention your old flame?” Mackenzie regretted it. She

shouldn’t have mentioned Claudette’s name, which gave Emmanuel a legitimate reason to think about other

women in front of her.

“Mackenzie, let’s talk about business.” Emmanuel knew that Mackenzie would be jealous of Claudette, so he quickly brought the topic back. He was full of survival instinct.

“My opinion is that we can sign up for the showdown. After all, it’s a major way to enhance the family’s reputation and popularity. However, we can also talk to Gautier. Maybe he is sincere. As long as the conditions are not excessive, it’s worth considering.”
