Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2033 "Magnus!" Hattie called out, her eyes immediately welling with tears.

57% "Emmanuel will save you; just stay strong!" Magnus tightly held Hattie's hand, his emotions overflowing like a river, ready to spill from his eyes. Emmanuel had never seen this side of him before. Even when Magnus had acted like he deeply loved Claudette, he hadn't shown this level of warmth. This was true, raw emotion. For the first time, Emmanuel saw Magnus as a real, living person. It becclear that everything Magnus had done-his desire to marry Claudette, and his pursuit of the Heart of the Sun-was all for the sake of his beloved sister.

“Emmanuel, I'm counting on you!" Hattie turned to Emmanuel, her tear-filled eyes full of desperation. “I... I still want to live. There are so many important 17:35 Mon, 9 Dec Chapter 2033 The Older Brother Is More Ruthless things I haven't finished. I don't want... I'm not ready to die yet!" Emmanuel simply nodded. "Rest for now. Don't waste your strength talking. I'll get everything ready and start the procedure soon." Hattie nodded through her tears.

Magnus, still holding her hand, gently reassured her, “Hattie, stop talking and rest. Just wait for the surgery. You'll make it through this, I promise. You don't need to say anything more." Hattie nodded again, and Magnus tenderly wiped the tears from her face. Emmanuel soon left the room. He didn't need to leave the house entirely, just made a few calls to his team to get the medical equipment delivered. So, he 57% 17:35 Mon, 9 Dec Chapter 2033 The Older Brother Is More Ruthless went into the adjacent room to make the arrangements. The house was large and eerily quiet, with no one else around, giving off a slightly desolate vibe. Emmanuel couldn't help but wonder why, with Hattie on the verge of death, only Magnus, who had disguised himself, was there. Not a single member of the Zelinsky family was present.

As the thought crossed his mind, he heard footsteps approaching Hattie's room. Emmanuel frowned-who would disturb her rest at a tlike this? In Hattie's room, Magnus and Blake were about to leave, planning to let Dominique take care of Hattie. But as they reached the door, they ran into someone walking in. Magnus' heart skipped a beat, though he kept his expression neutral, masking his inner turmoil. The person entering was none other than his older brother, Maxwell Zelinsky! 17:35 Mon, 9 Dec erg Chapter 2033 The Older Brother Is More Ruthless 57% "What's going on here?" Maxwell asked, looking tense as he addressed Blake and Dominique. "Why wasn't I informed that Hattie was gravely ill? Why hasn't she been taken home?" Dominique felt no sense of relief at his words-only disgust.

Blake, unbothered by niceties, immediately snapped, "Maxwell, give it a rest, will you? You can keep up your act in front of others, but we all know each other too well here. Isn't it tiring pretending like this?" "What are you talking about?" Maxwell frowned deeply, pretending not to understand Blake's words.

Blake knew exactly what kind of man Maxwell was. If Magnus was a master manipulator, then Maxwell was the master of all manipulators. He was the ultimate pretender, so immersed in his own lies that he'd convinced even Chapter 2033 The Older Brother Is More Ruthless himself. He truly believed he was a loving, righteous heir to the family.

ki 57% "Enough with the charade, Mr. Zelinsky!" Blake couldn't be bothered with him, but Dominique finally lost control, her emotions spilling over as she shouted, "If an outsider saw this scene, they might actually believe you! You and your family knew about Ms. Hattie's illness all along. You knew she wouldn't make it past this year, didn't you? "You all knew! Otherwise, why would you have been taking advantage of her bedridden state, using your family connections to greedily buy up and seize her businesses? If she dies, everything she worked so hard to build, especially 17:35 Mon, 9 Dec.

Chapter 2033 The Older Brother Is More Ruthless Aerelle Group, will fall right into the hands of the Zelinsky family through inheritance, won't it?" 57%1 Outside, Emmanuel heard everything clearly. He hadn't realized just how dire Hattie's situation had become. Blake's words from before were true-within the Zelinsky family, the infighting was more ruthless than any battle on the battlefield. Magnus had lost the fight for the family's inheritance and had to fake his death, too afraid to return to Zovince for fear that Maxwell would kill him to eliminate any threat.

Emmanuel suddenly felt that Magnus' personality, his cunning and ruthlessness, might not be entirely by choice. In a family like the Zelinskys, if Magnus hadn't been smart enough or ruthless enough, he wouldn't have survived, let alone been able to protect his beloved sister.

17:35 Mon, 9 Dec Chapter 2033 The Older Brother Is More Ruthless After hearing Dominique's accusations, Maxwell still wore an innocent expression. "Dominique, how can you think of us like that? We're Hattie's family. It's only natural for us to help manage her businesses while she's 57% nable to. If Hattie were truly to lose her battle with this illness, we, her family, would be the logical heirs to her assets, wouldn't we? Magnus is dead, so who should inherit Hattie's wealth-an outsider? You? Or that ugly monster?" Dominique wanted nothing more than to slap Maxwell across the face, but Blake held her back, preventing her from acting rashly. He had already noticed Maxwell's bodyguards, who were ready to act. If Dominique made the first move, they would claim to be protecting their master and might "accidentally" kill her. Having worked with the Zelinskys for years, Blake knew all too well what kind of family they were.

"Who's this?" Maxwell suddenly turned his attention to Magnus, who was 17:35 Mon, 9 Dec Chapter 2033 The Older Brother Is More Ruthless disguised as a mute servant. In the minds of all the Zelinsky family members, including Maxwell, Magnus had died in Yeringham at the hands of Emmanuel. But Maxwell looked at this unfamiliar man and realized, just like Emmanuel ad, who he really was.

"You wouldn't recognize him," Dominique snapped, her voice filled with disgust. "You vultures, fighting over the family fortune while ignoring your own

sister's life! Ms. Hattie's been in a coma for who knows how long, and with her the content is on vel novelenglish.net! funds tied up, she had to dismiss most of her servants. Now, there's just one. manservant left to help her. Of course, you wouldn't know him!" Maxwell's face remained composed, his expression still one of mild confusion.

"I don't quite understand what you're saying, Dominique. Calm down." His acting was so convincing that even Blake started to doubt himself, Mon, 9 Dec Chapter 2033 The Older Brother Is More Ruthless wondering if they had misjudged this man.

"What's your name?" Maxwell ignored Dominique's outburst and directed his question to Magnus, who, fully aware of his brother's sharp instincts, didn't dare speak. He used sign language, pretending to be mute. He knew that no matter how much he altered his voice, Maxwell would recognize him.

"He's mute," Blake added quickly.

"Now, only the likes y the likes of us-mute! disabled people-are left to serve a dying woman." "Mute? Dying?" Maxwell's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Magnus' hands.

They were hands that had clearly been well cared for, not the rough hands of a servant. Maxwell had already guessed who this man was, and a quick test would confirm it.

toward her with a sinister intent. "My om dear sister, how could you die on me? I' e so heartbroken if you left us!" Magnus knew exactly how ruthless and treacherous Maxwell was.
