Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

On that night, Emmanuel arrived at the nightclub

named The Paradise.

Beneath his clothes were all bandages!

Standing alone by the door, he puffed at a cigarette in

annoyance.

His mood plummeted when he received a call three

minutes ago, and Roselynn’s voice was still echoing in

his ear. “Manny, Mom was admitted to the hospital

again. She has nephritis! She was asking for you,

wondering when your wife will come and visit. She

thought your wife should have come to see her

already since you two are married.”

Roselynn’s words rendered Emmanuel speechless, and

her remarks still echoed in his ears.

Their father pa*sed away at a young age, and their

mother had to raise him and his sister singlehandedly.

She worked too hard when she was young, and her

unhealthy diet caused her to develop kidney stones.

Some ten years ago, she had to have one of her

kidneys removed, and her only kidney was inflamed.

Emmanuel did not know how long his mother’s body

could hold up.

Her only wish now was to meet her daughter–in–law.

Even seeing her grandchild being born would be a

luxury!

Emmanuel knew he had repeatedly disappointed his

2/15 

mother, but this time, he was determined to bring

Mackenzie home to fulfill his mother’s wish!

Meanwhile, Mackenzie was in a daze. She might be

staring at the screen, but she was, in fact, zoning out.

She had never been so worried for someone in her life

that it significantly reduced her efficiency at work.

All of a sudden, her phone rang. It was a call from her

grandfather.

“Hey, Mackenzie! Can the strategic warehouse project

be completed in time? All the directors kept pressuring

me for the progress update!” Terence sounded

anxious.

After all, all shareholders wanted profits. As the

majority shareholder of the company, Terénce

undoubtedly hoped the project would succeed.

“Grandpa, I’m waiting for an update from someone,”

Mackenzie said calmly.

“Updates from someone? Who’s the CEO of Terence

Group? Who’s the decision maker of the company?

And you’re telling me you’re waiting for updates from

another person?” Terence expressed his dismay. What

happened to my granddaughter? That’s not how she

would usually behave!

“I want you to give me an answer right now!” The

agitated Terence raised his voice.

“Grandpa, that person is Emmanuel!” she responded.

What? Emmanuel?” Terence froze for a moment and

kept mum.

After a while, he expressed his shock. “Why do you

have to wait for him to make a decision for Terence

Group?”

“Grandpa, stop asking, okay?” Mackenzie replied

indifferently, “Anyway, I’ve informed the engineering

team from Cloud Construction to be on standby. I’ll 

issue an ultimatum by tomorrow morning.”

After that, she ended the call.

Mackenzie let out a long breath and found herself

unable to sit still

She could not believe that even during that critical

period, she still found herself expecting Emmanuel to

solve the problem.

As the night fell, Emmanuel flicked his cigarette in front

of the entrance of The Paradise and was ready to enter

the premises.

Suddenly, someone pulled him from the back, and the

person was Sheldon.

“Emmanuel, have you lost your mind? Would you really

stoop to anything for the sake of money? Mr. Webber is

not an easy person to deal with, yet you went to him

and warned him and his men to vacate that piece of

hapter 16 Fits fubordinate

land. He could easily send someone to take your life.

Do you realize that?” Sheldon exclaimed in agitation,

trying to dissuade the man.

7/15

Though he only had a professional relationship with

Emmanuel, from human to human, he did not want the

man to risk his life.

Yet, Emmanuel ignored him and walked straight into

the nightclub.

Unfortunately, the receptionist refused to reveal any

information about their guest to him:

The security guard even chased him out of the club

after he refused to leave.

“Emmanuel, can you stop acting crazy? We can’t even

locate the person. Just give up, okay? It’s impossible for

Emmanuel’s jaw dropped when he saw the woman.
