Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2035 The December afternoon snow outside Zovince fell in large, feather-like flakes. Yet, the woman in the luxury car had skin even whiter than the snow falling outside the window. Her delicate oval face exuded an icy aloofness, and her cold, piercing eyes reminded one of an icy beauty. Her skin was so pale, and her features so perfect, that she didn't even seem real-more like an Al-rendered image of the ideal woman.

"Darling!" Maxwell was momentarily taken aback but quickly broke into a sycophantic smile as he walked over to her. To any onlooker, it would seem like the classic story of a lovesick fool doting on a goddess.

Chiara's expression was even colder than the falling snow outside. Her isy glare fixed on him as she spoke, "I heard you booked three tickets for this hunt.

"Darling, don't jump to conclusions. I'm on a family mission." What kind of mission requires you to chunting?" Chiara matched his low tone, though her eyes remained filled with suspicion.

"It involves your family, too." Maxwell grinned, deliberately trying to pique her curiosity.

Chiara immediately pressed, "Don't think I don't know you're just here to pick úp girls. How could it possibly involve my family? Or is it something to do with me?" لام Everyone in the upper echelons of Zovince society knew that Maxwell, heir to the Zelinsky family, was heavily controlled by his wife. She was constantly 18:20 Tue, 10 Dec Chapter 2035 The Icy Beauty of the Four Beauties overseeing his actions. In the public's eyes, their marriage was a mismatch Maxwell was seen as a dull-witted fool, while Chiara was a stunning beauty, both intelligent and graceful. Despite this, she married Maxwell, and their nion had been arranged even before Maxwell becheir apparent to the Zelinsky family. This led many to believe that Chiara had foreseen Maxwell's eventual rise to power over Magnus despite Magnus' superior reputation at the time.

"Haha, no, darling, don't be like that! You know you're the only one in my heart," Maxwell grinned as he leaned in to whisper in her ear. "My father sentto retrieve the Dragon Tome. Ashton Summerton can help us." "What? The Dragon Tome?" Chiara's eyes widened in shock, her expression gradually hardening into a narrow-eyed glare.

She knew exactly how important the Dragon Twas in the martial world and how valuable it could be to her family. But the tNad vanished thirty years ago-how could it suddenly reappear in Zovince? Moreover, she know more about the Dragon Tthan most. Information that even Maxwell was unaware of had been passed down in the Lannister family: the Dragon Tthat disappeared three decades ago might have been a fake, while the real one's whereabouts remained unknown.

Of course, Chiara wasn't entirely certain of the truth, but there was one undeniable fact: the Dragon Thad been in the Lannister family for generations, yet no one from the family had ever been able to master it.

If we control Ashton, she'll lead us to Roselynn, and through her, we can get our hands on the Dragon Tome," Maxwell confidently explained as if he had everything under control.

"I see... well, go ahead then," Chiara responded nonchalantly. She didn't love Maxwell, and their political marriage left little room for genuine affection. It was simply a matter of mutual benefit.

"Darling, there's still one spot left. I saved it just for you," Maxwell added smoothly. "I knew you'd come. I need your help to put on a little show." Chiara stared icily at Maxwell. He grinned, a schemer through and through, Cheyy yet with the appearance of someone completely transparent and guileless." like that devious look of yours! Fine, I know how to play my part," she replied, stepping out of the car with her usual cold elegance The two walked side by side, but there was no hint of intimacy between them. Anyone unfamiliar with the pair would never guess they were married, assuming instead that Maxwell was perhaps just a well-dressed bodyguard or assistant.

At the smoment, Ashton arrived outside the building. She stepped out of her car, reminding herself that she was there because of her date with Nathan, not for any other reason.

But before her hand could land, Chiara grabbed her wrist.

She glanced up and was shocked to see Chiara holding her arm. Ashton hadn't expected Chiara to be so strong-strong enough to match her strength. Clearly, being from the Lannister family had its advantages. "And who do you think you are, trying to hit my husband? Pathetic!" Chiara sneered, and without hesitation, she slapped Ashton hard across the face. The sharp crack of the slap echoed, leaving Ashton momentarily stunned.

What a joke!" 63% Ashton's face burned, not just from the slap but from the humiliation and the unfair judgment of the crowd. Worse than her stinging cheek was the pain in her heart and the feeling of her dignity being trampled on. She had long since moved on from Maxwell, never tried to get involved with him again- she was the victim, yet here she was, being ridiculed and condemned Without a second thought.

"Get lost. You don't belong here," Chiara spat, releasing Ashton's Wrist with a cold glare before turning and striding into the building, her every step Chapter 2035 The icy Beauty of the four dis radiating disdain.
