Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1422 Royal Blood Grass 83% It just so happened that Emmanuel had to attend the birthday banquet with Ashton. He had found himself at a loss on how to tell Mackenzie about it. Roselynn had unknowingly provided him with the perfect excuse.

In the past, he would have just told her about attending the banquet with Ashton. However, their relationship was currently very rocky. He truly did not want to risk another strain on his relationship with Mackenzie over another woman. During the night before, he had wondered if he should skip attending the birthday banquet just to avoid any potential conflict with Mackenzie.

“Alright. I'll leave it in your hands.” Mackenzie saw Roselynn as family. Hence, she was invested in the success of Roselynn’s relationship with Julian.

This was a crucial point in their relationship! After securing Mackenzie's approval for a “leave of absence,” Emmanuel could finally breathe easy as rendezvoused with Roselynn.

The two of them arrived at a renowned medical clinic in Onza known as the Skyrin Medical Clinic.

While they were aware of the clinic's reputation, they were unsure of the reason behind its grand reputation.

“Roselynn, what's with you?” As they walked into the clinic, Emmanuel admired its ancient and elegant architecture. However, he soon noticed Roselynn’s odd behavior as she had stopped to stare in a certain direction.

“It’s that despicable man!” Roselynn clenched her fists and ground her teeth as she spoke.

Despicable man? Emmanuel was wondering why Jaxton would be in a place like this. However, when he turned to follow her gaze, he spotted the familiar face she called despicable.

It was Chase, Roselynn’s sweetheart during university. He was currently arm in arm with a woman in a pink dress. When Chase noticed them, he swiftly turned to look at them.

A moment later, he tilted his lips up in a faint smirk.

Around six months ago, he had crossed paths with Roselynn at a Quillen family gathering. At that time, he assumed the Lowe siblings were putting on airs just because they were seemingly acquainted with a daughter of an esteemed family in Yeringham.

However, after that gathering, Chase soon married into a prestigious Onza family. Thus, he did not know what transpired in the Lowe family after the event.

He was initially taken aback to see them here. Still, upon closer inspection, he noticed they appeared unchanged. It seemed they had failed to succeed in their attempts to suck up to the privileged.

While the woman in pink was looking away, Chase even flirtatiously winked at Roselynn.

Roselynn recoiled in disgust. With a disdainful scoff, she looked away from him. | don’t even want to bother looking at trash like him.

Emmanuel paid Chase no mind and proceeded to talk to the pharmacist with Roselynn. He intended to craft a longevity pill personally for her to bring as a birthday present.

He had cacross the recipe in the “Divine Valley Medical Records” early on, and he had longed to experiment with it ever since. However, Yeringham was just a second-tier city. It made it hard for him to source many of the ingredients needed.

Coincidentally, during a previous consultation with Rhea for help with his relationship, she had mentioned this clinic in 08:51 Fri, Apr 5.

Coincidentally, during a previous consultation with Rhea for help with his relationship, she had mentioned this clinic in passing. She had said that the clinic had a vast collection of rare and precious herbs. Hence, Emmanuel decided to check it out, When he spotted the elusive Royal Blood Grass, his eyes shone with excitement.

Given its unique medicinal properties and niche uses, few pharmacies stocked it.

To his surprise, the herb was also reasonably priced. His glee grew.

Just as he was about to purchase all the Royal Blood Grass the clinic had, the receptionist politely rejected him and stated, “Sir, the Royal Blood Grass is a rare medicinal herb reserved only for our VIP members. It is not for sale to the public. Pardonfor asking, but are you a VIP member of our clinic?” Surprised by the unusual restriction, Emmanuel responded, “Well, | am not a member yet!” Usually, such an answer would prompt the salesperson to persuade him to join as a member before proceeding with the sale. He was not short on cash anyway.

Unexpectedly, the receptionist simply gave him an awkward smile before saying, “I'm sorry. | can’t sell this herb to you then.” She remained polite and sweet the entire time.

Emmanuel was bewildered. This isn’t what usually happens! Just as he was about to reply to her, he heard mocking laughter coming from beside him.

“Look at that man, darling. He even looks shocked! Does he think Skyrin Medical Clinic is just like the greedy clinics he sees elsewhere? These herbs are specifically collected for the rich and powerful!” Emmanuel turned to look at the speaker. As he thought, it was the woman hanging off Chase's arm.

The woman exuded an air of refinement with her jewelry. Combined with her sensually slender waist and curvaceous figure, it was clear that she was a woman born into a privileged household who was also the kind to look down on the people around her.
