Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 211
Chapter 211
“What are you holding?” Ryder asked. He locked his gaze on the item in
Abellyn’s hand. It was the golden wedding ring they had worn when they
were married, which also belonged to him. He knew she had pawned her ring
two years earlier to pay off her poker debts.
“N–Nothing! This is my home, too. W–Why are you looking at me like that? You
make it sound like I’m a thief!” Her response was used to turn the accusation
around and point it at him instead.
“Put it down!” The room reverberated with his roar.
After hearing this, Abellyn hurriedly placed the ring down.
“If I find anything missing from this house, I will hold you responsible! Watch
yourself, or you’re dead!” Ryder’s eyes gleamed with murderous hatred as he
spat out his threats.
However, she gritted her teeth in response. He has changed! As far as I can recall, he loved, spoiled, and lavished me affectionately. Is his love for me
gone because I’m not as attractive as I once was? “Just you wait, Ryder! You’ll
die a horrible death!” After uttering this, she stormed out of the house.
In the meantime, Abellyn headed to Chloe’s house, where her shrill cries
echoed off the walls.
“You can’t let this go on, Abellyn. There’s no way you can live like this!” Chloe
exclaimed. Since she did not want her sister to weep all day, she stated
bluntly, “Just come clean with that man! Cut it all off now and divorce him.
With half of his a*sets, we can afford our own home.”
“I–I don’t have any experience in this, though. I don’t think I can gain much,”
Abellyn replied.
Despite Chloe’s well–dressed appearance, she was completely illiterate. Even
though she was nearly 30 years old, she acted and thought like a young girl,
and she had nowhere near as much life experience as her sister.
“I’ll get a woman to go to your home tomorrow while you tell our parents that
Ryder is cheating on you. Bring them there to catch him in the act. He would
have no choice but to obediently give you most of his a*sets then!”
“Forget about Tommy, the illegitimate child. Let that man devote his life to
raising another man’s son!” Chloe suggested.
However, her suggestion shocked Abellyn. This is too cruel! Nonetheless, the
more vicious the plan, the better. Anyway, Ryder has asked for it! He is the
one who looks down on me because Emmanuel’s wife is more beautiful than
I am. This is why our marriage failed, and he is solely to blame! “Very well,
Chloe. I’ll do as you say!” she cried out.
“Good. You can sleep here tonight, so go wash up.”
“Okay.” Abellyn nodded and headed to the bathroom.
The place Chloe rented was plain and simple. The shower and toilet were
linked, with the door in disrepair condition.
Meanwhile, Robby had to rush to the toilet to relieve himself. However, his
legs suddenly went limp, and he fell to the ground. Bang! Consequently, his
nose was bleeding from the impact. He would definitely have burst out
bawling before this, but for some reason, his fall did not hurt at all this time.
the crash.
Abellyn also stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped only in a towel with
drops of water clinging to her skin.
“It’s nothing! I’m fine!” After saying this, he swiftly returned to his room.
“Huh? Why is he acting so weird?” Chloe did not understand why her son
reacted that way.
On the other hand, Abellyn did not notice anything unusual about Robby’s
reaction and giggled. “Your son is quite the man, Chloe. He didn’t even cry
when he fell down. He will definitely grow up into something amazing.”
The following day, Emmanuel called Ryder to see how he was doing and to
let him know he would be stopping by that evening.
Nonetheless, just as Emmanuel was about to clock out, he received an
unexpected call from Roselynn. She told him that Hermann’s side of the
family requested another meeting with her and extended a sincere apology.
Naturally, she wanted her brother to accompany her and reasoned that if
that side of the family decided to go back on their word, she would have no
fear if a fight broke out.
“Very well. Wait for me, and I’ll go with you to meet them!” he promised.
“Okay. I’ll be waiting.” She figured there was no reason to rush because no
one on Hermann’s side of the family knew where she and Alessandra lived.
After ending the call, Emmanuel called Ryder to let him know there would be
a holdup in his visit. Following that, Emmanuel met up with Roselynn.
This time, the two families would meet in a hotel restaurant.
Prior to their arrival, Hermann had already ordered the food and was waiting
for them.
On the other hand, Emmanuel noticed something odd about his granddad’s expression when he entered the room, as he perceived both resentment and
fear.
It appeared as though that side of the family had gone to kick up a fuss in
front of the Lowe family’s house but found themselves unable to do anything
since the house now had surveillance cameras everywhere.
However, Roselynn noticed the odd behavior as well. She couldn’t help but
burst into giggles when she saw the expressions on the faces of the two
Cadigan men and thought that Emmanuel and his wife were simply
incredible!
After only two moves, they had successfully attacked the Cadigans‘ weak
spot and rendered them helpless.
“Come, sit!” Despite his reluctance, Hermann stood and greeted the Lowe
family before gesturing for them to take a seat.
Though Alessandra seemed uneasy, Emmanuel and Roselynn quickly made
themselves at home.
“W–Why did you suddenly invite us for dinner, Dad?” Her father’s act of
affection stunned Alessandra. In her mind, her father had never shown her
any kind of care or concern. Why would he be nice to her if he was the type of
man who thought women were nothing but a drain on society? Nonetheless,
this sudden kindness terrified her.
“We are family. As the elder of the family, it is customary for me to treat you
to a meal,” Hermann replied.
Although many Cadigan family members were present, he was the only one
who spoke. However, the women were too timid to speak up as Emerson and
Jamison silently glared at them. They were seething with anger after being
bashed online. Since they could do nothing to Roselynn’s entire family, their
only option was to brood.
“Oh, is that so? Let’s eat then,” Roselynn said. She did not care what Hermann
was scheming. It was a complimentary meal, so she ate everything she
desired. Did they believe she would hold back for fear of contaminating the
food?
On the other hand, Emmanuel felt even less fear. He was a great doctor, so
he was even more certain than her that there was no poison in the food.
After a few minutes of eating, Hermann suddenly stood up.
Chapter 212
“We know what Jamison did was wrong, Alessandra. He should not have
allowed others to insult and slander you. Please, allow me to formally
apologize on his behalf,” Hermann said while gritting his teeth. Although he
did not want to say that, he felt he had no other option. We had no idea that
Emmanuel and Roselynn would be able to trounce us to such an
embarra*sing degree. They have indeed become wiser!
“Dad, y–you-” Due to her fear, Alessandra was at a loss for words.
Instead of waiting around, he toasted the Lowe family with a drink. “Come, a
toast. I hope you can forgive us after this.”
Despite the insincerity of his apology, Emmanuel and Roselynn were at a loss
for what to do in response.
“Manny, Roselynn, why don’t we just forget about this?”
At this moment, Alessandra found herself caving into his father’s words. It is
quite unusual for my dad to communicate in such a subdued manner, and it
would be impolite of us to refuse the Cadigans‘ request for forgiveness.
“We can delete the post, but only on one condition,” Roselynn stated. As she
was not well–educated, she decided to be blunt and direct. “Return to us all
the money you took from my mom and the money you borrowed from us.
Then, we’ll delete the post.”
“That-“Hermann’s face turned red instantly.
On the other hand, Jamison, who had not spoken, immediately roared, “Are
you trying to kill us, Roselynn? We’re not that rich!”
“I don’t care!” She was obstinate and continued coldly, “It sounds like you
didn’t plan on paying us back from the start. Also, you have a lot of money to
pay for hate comments and views. How are you out of money now? As if
anyone would believe you!”
“I-” After a pause, he cried out, “I didn’t spend that much on paid comments
and views!”
“You didn’t spend that much? Do you think we’re kids?” Roselyrin retorted
coldly. “It costs at least 150 thousand to push a topic to be one of the top 10
trending topics.”
“I-” Jamison was at a loss for words. He was not that old, so he knew how
much it cost but did not know why or who paid for it. No matter how he tried
to explain himself to her at this point, she would just think he was trying to
make excuses. By the end, he was fuming with rage and on the verge of
exploding.
“Darn! You want us dead, don’t you? Then-” At this moment, Emerson
considered calling the whole thing off.
However, halfway through his sentence, Emmanuel shot to his feet. The glint
in his eyes and the commanding presence he exuded had Emerson
swallowing back the rest of his words from fear.
Dang it! Even if Emerson wished to attack the Lowe family, he could not win a
fight against a former military member.
“Alessandra, we don’t have that much money!” Hermann was aware of the
Lowe family’s weakness, so his focus was always on his daughter.
Alessandra’s heart softened upon hearing her father’s plea, and she turned
to whisper to Roselynn. “Don’t push them too hard. After all, they are your
grandfather and uncles.”
“Hmph! When did we gain relatives like them?” Roselynn huffed. Despite her
sharp retort, she was also a woman with a tender heart. Concerned that her
mother might be caught between a rock and a hard place due to their
actions, she decided to make some concessions. “We could sign a contract
explicitly stating that all the money you took from my mom and borrowed
from us would be paid back within ten years. In addition, the six thousand you
owe Manny must be repaid within three days. He needs the money for his
wife’s gift.”
Soon, her declaration caused the room to fall silent.
Chapter 213
Emmanuel was surprised by Roselynn’s declaration, and his heart was
warmed by her display of affection.
She did not do so solely out of affection for her brother but because she
believed they owed Mackenzie too much for her a*sistance. In Roselynn’s
eyes, it was unacceptable that her brother had never given his wife a nice
present! Therefore, regardless of what transpired, they had to recover the
initial six thousand so that he could purchase a gift for Mackenzie.
However, Emerson and Jamison wanted to open their mouths to speak, but
Hermann forbade them. Through gritted teeth, Hermann spat out, “F–Fine!
We’ll agree to that!”
Ultimately, a resolution had been reached.
Soon, Roselynn had lost her appetite because she realized the Cadigans did
not truly remorse for their actions and were only apologizing since they felt they had no other choice. “Alright, then! I’ll delete the post once you pay back every cent.” After uttering this, she dragged Alessandra with her out the door.
Naturally, Emmanuel did not linger a moment longer, and he followed them
closely to ensure they did not encounter any obstacles.
After they had left, Emerson unleashed a string of curses. “Dang it! I should
have killed Roselynn ages ago! They’re so annoying!”
“Yeah! There’s no way Emmanuel can protect her forever. One day, I will kill
her!” Jamison vehemently agreed.
On the other hand, Henrietta was shaken by their mounting anger but dared
not speak up.
Later that evening, Emmanuel received 4,500 from Roselynn. 3,000 was
obtained from the Cadigans, and the remaining 1,500 was from her savings. She requested that he give Mackenzie a romantic gift to strengthen their relationship; otherwise, she would never forgive him. I don’t care how the Cadigans got the money, but I’m having trouble deciding what to get Mackenzie. What does she like? However, he was no fool, and after a night of
contemplation, he secretly called Terence the following morning. “Grandpa, I want to buy Mackenzie a present. I don’t know what she likes, though. Can you give me a few ideas?” he asked.
In the meantime, Terence had been lazing around his home for the past few
days with nothing to do. Hence, when he heard that, he immediately leaped
to his feet in excitement as though his birthday had arrived early. His reaction
startled everyone in the Quillen residence. “Of course I do! You’ve come to the
right person for help!” He then continued without hesitation, “Mackenzie has
always been different. She never liked the color pink, dolls, or toys. This girl is
such a tyrant; her favorite color is royal gold! She will definitely love it if you
give her the golden jade phoenix. You’ll win her heart then!”
Hah… Emmanuel simply ignored Terence’s last sentence. I am only giving her
a gift to express my gratitude for everything she has done for my family. Regarding winning her heart, Grandpa is overthinking. “What is the golden jade phoenix?” His focus was on that important piece of information.
“Haha! It’s very hard to tell you about it now. I do know that there will be a secret auction happening this Friday evening. The golden jade phoenix,
personally carved by the great Thomas Cline, would be auctioned off then. Why don’t you go with me?”
“Well… Okay!” Emmanuel eventually decided it was time to experience more
of the world. While he did not think 4,500 was enough to buy anything great,
he would do anything Terence recommended.
When Terence ended the call, his butler, Alfred Grishaw, walked over. “Sir, Mr.
Cline is one of the greatest master artisans in the country. His works are often
worth millions, if not billions! Emmanuel might not be able to afford it.”
“Haha! Of course! I don’t need you to remind me.”
Terence was in such a great mood that he was grinning even as he hurled
insults. “He might not have the money, but I do. I am willing to pay tens of
billions, let alone a few million. Either way, it’ll go to my granddaughter. I would
not lose out anyway. Hahaha!”
In agreement, Alfred nodded, and he shared Terence’s joy. I have served
alongside him for over three decades and have never seen him smile so
brightly. Evidently, his only desire at the moment is a great–grandchild!

With the help of an old schemer, Mackenzie’s misandry would be cured.
Chapter 214
After being stabbed by Abellyn, Ryder did not return to work for a few days.
He was someone who worked hard his entire life. Though his injury was still
healing, he couldn’t bring himself to laze at home. Thus, he decided to head
out and pick up his son first.
However, when he arrived at the school, the teacher said Tommy had
already been picked up by Abellyn.
What was going on?
He had a bad feeling. After all, Abellyn had never walked with Tommy to or
from school before. What kind of tricks was she up to?
He hurriedly called her only to hear Abellyn loudly grumbling, “My parents are
here today. Can’t I even pick up my son so that we could all have a peaceful
dinner? Don’t come here. I don’t want to start a fight again!”
That infuriated him.
Still, he had to respect his in–laws. A good meal with them would be better for
Tommy than the simple meal he would be getting if he dined with Ryder.
Since Tommy was not around, he called Emmanuel who had said he wanted
to visit. However, it had been two whole days!
“Give me a few minutes, Ryder. I’ll head on over after I drop Mackenzie back
home.”
After that reply, Emmanuel hung up the call abruptly because Mackenzie
walked out of the office doors.
“What? You’re going out again tonight?”
Mackenzie frowned from where she was sitting in the car. How was his
schedule busier than hers?
“Abellyn picked up Tommy for some bonding time, so Ryder will be home
alone. I’ll show him the video of Abellyn cheating on him and discuss what to
do then,” Emmanuel replied in a casual manner.
To his surprise, she felt something was off about the situation. In fact, she
even suggested, “How about we have dinner on our own and I will go with
you later?”
“Huh?”
He was stunned. Why was she being so friendly?
“What? Do you not want me there?”
Her question was a deliberate poke at his reaction.
“Ah, no. I’m just happy. With you around, we would absolutely be able to come
up with the best solutions!”
Emmanuel’s sincerity was clear in his voice.
He did not know when it started, but he had developed faith in her
intelligence and the solutions she came up with.
After being married for a month, she had already solved many of the
problems plaguing his family.
“I’m so lucky to have married you, Ms. Quillen! If not for you, the problems my
family and Ryder faced would have led to much more horrible results.”
His words stunned her. After a moment, she turned her head to look away
and haughtily huffed. “Did it finally hit you? You’re a fool who only knows how
to resolve issues with brute force, after all.”
“Haha! That’s true!”
He did not argue or feel embarra*sed at all. Instead, he cheerfully grinned.
“That’s good. It means my existence is to cover up the one and only tiny flaw
you have.”
“Tch!”
She disdainfully scoffed with disagreement blatantly written on her face.
However, upon reflection, he was not wrong. His combat and medical skills
had resolved quite a few problems for her as well.
Meanwhile, at the door of Ryder’s apartment, Chloe used the key Abellyn
gave her to quietly open the door to let a scantily clad woman into the
apartment.
“Remember, take off all of your clothes and lie in Ryder’s bed! No matter what
happens later on, do not say a single word. One thousand dollars is only your
deposit. The other thousand will be paid once everything is done.”
As Chloe spoke, she handed a stack of cash to the woman.
“No problem! I’ll do anything you wish as long as you pay me,” the woman
replied.
Of course, she was happy about this job. After all, she was a woman who was
willing to do anything for money.
Two thousand dollars for one evening was the best deal she had seen yet!
Once Chloe was finished instructing the woman, she snuck away.
Soon, Ryder returned home and made a simple dinner. Then, he sat in the
living room and waited until Emmanuel arrived.
Knock. Knock.
As expected, someone was soon knocking on the door.
“Coming!” he called out.
Chapter 215
Ryder ignored his aching abdomen and briskly walked over to the door to
open it.
As he had been expecting Emmanuel, he was in a good mood. Hence, he
was smiling when he opened the door.
However, that smile turned to ice when he saw the glowering woman.
standing outside.
“Why did you take this long to open the door? What were you doing in there?”
Abellyn’s voice was as cold as ice.
“Did I? I came as soon as I heard someone knocking.”
As he explained, he hurriedly let his in–laws into the apartment. Had they
been in Yeringham the entire time? Why were they coming over so
frequently?
“Hmph! Really? I’ve been knocking for minutes! What kind of shady business
are you up to?”
Abellyn continued to grumble as she entered the apartment.
She had actually been knocking for quite a while.
However, she had intentionally knocked so very softly that Ryder could not
hear her knocks.
“I don’t have the energy to argue with you. Anyway, what could I be up to all
alone at home?”
In his mind, she had gone mad. Was she picking a fight because she was
bored?
To his surprise, when they entered the living room, a naked woman walked
out of his room.
Shoot! What was going on?
Ryder froze when he saw the woman.

When he snapped back to reality, he did not panic. Instead, he reflexively
covered Tommy’s eyes to stop him from seeing anything he should not have.
“Well, well! Ryder Lowe, you absolute b*stard!”
Abellyn flew into a fit of rage and immediately shot over to slap him without
letting him say a single word.
As he felt no guilt, he refused to let her slap him. Thus, he shoved her away
with his free hand.
She then broke out sobbing, “Look at him! What kind of man is he? I’ve only
been one night away from home and he already brought some other
woman back for s*x!”
Every wail she released was louder than the last.
George had been preoccupied with ogling at the naked woman. His
daughter’s wails were the only reason he snapped back to reality.
“How dare you! I’ll kill you, you beastly man!” he roared.
Then, he charged at Ryder.
“Do not hit my dad!” Tommy cried out.
Thankfully, Tommy was able to stop George’s charge by standing in front of
Ryder with his arms held out. Otherwise, Ryder would be suffering another
injury while still injured.
“Enough! Stop messing about!” Mary shouted.
Despite her anger, she was actually the calmest person in the room.
#
It was mainly because the entire evening had been developing in a rather
illogical direction.
Out of the blue, Abellyn invited them to dinner before inviting them over to
her home. That was something that never happened. Moreover, it was not a
special day.
Ryder’s reaction also did not look like the reaction of someone guilty.
Chapter 216 Ryder’s Arrival
Her gaze seemed to convey a message telling him to leave this to her since
here?
“What?!” Abellyn was completely shocked. As she glared at Mackenzie, she
