Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 549

Meanwhile, Roselynn was greatly displeased by Richie’s words and found him

even more annoying than Jaxton. He doesn’t even know how to toot his own

horn with a little more tact, but all he does is turn people off!

Mackenzie was attentive to everything that had happened and simply

remarked coolly, “It’s from St. Louis Vineyard, huh? They produce excellent

wine, but it’s a shame I’m not used to drinking it!”

On the other hand, Richie had just graduated with his master’s degree and

had no life experience, so when he heard her remarks, he started scrambling.

“Mackenzie, foreigners call this the wine of the beauties. It’s usually given to

beautiful women as gifts! Even if you don’t want it, it won’t be right for me to

take it back with me, so try it!”

After hearing his son’s words, Cain became even more despondent. Initially, I

aimed to gain her favor so my company could work with Terence Group.

More importantly, my son is still single and appears to have a bright future

ahead of him. I also want to see if he can befriend her and even hope they

can become a couple! I don’t think that will happen, but a guy can dream,

right? Alas, I finally realized how inept he is at interacting with others and

communicating with them!

In the meantime, Beatrix was infuriated. Who does this punk think he is?! How

dare he address Mackenzie by her first name?

“I see.” Mackenzie’s expression remained rather calm, though she was

frowning slightly. “How are you related to Roselynn?”

When Cain heard this, he winked at Richie to drop a hint.

Nonetheless, Richie took the hint and proudly announced with a grin,

“Roselynn is my cousin–in–law! We’re quite close!”

“Oh. Is that so?” She was snorting on the inside upon hearing those words.

Such a shameless man. Why would you mock her the way you did just now if

you two are so close? “In that case, I’ll help you deal with this.” Then, she stood

up and took the exquisite bottle of wine!

After seeing this, the father and son duo of the Unger family were thrilled!

They thought Mackenzie was accepting their gift, which meant they

managed to establish a relationship with her!

To their surprise, she handed the box to Roselynn and said, “Since this wine

should be presented to beautiful women… You’ve never tried it before,

Roselynn, so why don’t you take it home and taste it?”

“Wait-” Richie nearly reached out to snatch the wine. It cost me over 450

thousand! How can it end up in Roselynn’s hands? What’s the point of that?!

However, the moment he saw the icy expression in Mackenzie’s eyes as she

glanced at him, he immediately retreated in fear.

“What’s the matter? Do you think Roselynn’s not beautiful, or is it because you

can’t bear to let her have this wine? I thought you two were close.”

When Mackenzie said those words, she had a piercing and icy look in her

eyes, making Richie feel as if he had been thrown into freezing waters. His

mind went blank, and he was unable to respond to her.

Nevertheless, Cain quickly pulled Richie and gave her an ingratiating smile.

“Please do not misunderstand, Ms. Quillen! My son just wants to strike up a

friendship with you. He just came back to the country after graduating from

the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, you see. Perhaps, he’s not good at

socializing with others yet and doesn’t quite know what to say sometimes,

but he’s a good person!”

Mackenzie scoffed derisively upon hearing this.

On the other hand, Beatrix was even more forthright and stated, “Well, you’ve

given the wine away, so you can leave now. My sister has a lot of work to do!”

“Huh? But-” Richie was flustered after hearing this. The wine didn’t end up in

Mackenzie’s hands. What’s the use of giving it to Roselynn? I haven’t even had

a proper conversation with Mackenzie yet! I didn’t even manage to get a

smile from her! He was sorely disappointed. In the end, 450 thousand went

down the drain just like that!

“Well then, thank you, Mr. Unger!” In the meantime, Roselynn wanted to laugh.

at his reaction. “You don’t look too good, Mr. Unger,” she purposely remarked.

“You won’t try to take the wine with you when you leave, right? Maybe I should

just give it back to you now!” After saying this, she held the box out.

Then, Richie tried to reach out and take it from her.

Nonetheless, Cain quickly smacked his son’s hand away and smiled, “You

must be teasing us, Roselynn. The wine should be given to a beautiful

woman. I hope you’ll accept it from us!”

Conversely, Beatrix’s hatred for Richie deepened after she witnessed

everything. Who does he think he is, trying to hit on my sister? How delusory!

Soon after, Richie and Cain left Terence Group.

As he left the building, Richie growled spitefully, “Mackenzie Quillen is so

arrogant. Did you see the way she lorded over us? Why did she act so high

and mighty, huh? I’m so pissed!”

In the meantime, Cain’s expression became gloomy after hearing this, and

he clenched his jaw and muttered, “It was unbearably rude of her to treat us

like that! Hah! Once the Lenoir and Verkade families succeed in bringing the

Quillen family down, I’ll make sure I’ll drag that woman through the mud and

humiliate her!”

As soon as everyone else had left, Mackenzie got up and left her office.

“Heading back to the Quillen residence, Ms. Quillen?” Wally asked as he

opened the car door for her.

Nonetheless, she thought about it and replied, “Take me back to Yociam

Residence.”

He was taken aback upon hearing this, but he quickly nodded and drove off.

Why is Ms. Quillen returning to Yociam Residence today? Has Mr. Lowe

returned home?

Meanwhile, Mackenzie believed her husband had returned home. It’s been a

while since we last spoke, but after receiving the photos and videos today, I

can only assume he’s back in Yeringham. If not, why would the other party

send these items today? Wouldn’t they be concerned if those photographs

no longer had the desired effect, and I’d have calmed down by the time I saw

him again?

Despite her certainty, she was disappointed when she opened the door to

find her husband had not returned. “That fool…” At this instant, she felt a void

in her heart while standing alone in the living room. If he doesn’t return, I’ll sell

the house and be done with these emotions for good.

Later, she undressed and stepped into the shower, where she turned on the

water and stood with her head raised as the warm water cascaded over her.

Her fair skin glistened in the light like marble, making her appear as perfect

as a work of art!

Twenty minutes later, she jumped out of the shower and called Lexi without

getting dressed. “Lexi, for the next two days, keep an eye on the Lenoir family

for me. Emmanuel has most likely gone over to them!”

“Yes, Ms. Quillen!” Lexi instantly replied. Since Mackenzie used the phrase

“most likely,” Lexi knew it was a guess, but she had complete faith in

Mackenzie’s intellect. Despite coming from a distinguished background, this

was the only reason she was willing to work as Mackenzie’s secretary

because she liked being in the presence of such an intelligent woman.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie had just hung up and was getting ready for bed when

her phone rang, and she saw that it was Terence.

“Mackenzie, is there a growing concern about the company’s cash flow

situation?” Even though he had faith in her abilities and rarely questioned her

about company matters, all her grandfather wanted to do was help with the

finances.

“Yeah. Since the warehouse’s reconstruction work had just been completed,

we needed to invest in production now. However, in the field of energy, the

Lenoir family is fighting tooth and nail to steal our market share and has used

this opportunity to drag us down. Right now, we are approximately 150 million

short on funds,” Mackenzie reported to Terence truthfully.

“I see.” After a moment of reflection, he continued, “I can get 150 million, but

we can’t keep dragging out this feud with the Lenoir family!”

“I trust that Emmanuel will soon think of a way to save Claudette, Grandpa,

and when that happens, the Lenoir family won’t go against us anymore,

which means the crisis will be over!” she said with full confidence.

“Oh? Do you have absolute faith in this? Did he get in touch with you?”

Terence perked up.

“No. It’s just a guess. So, trust me, Grandpa!” Mackenzie sounded absolutely

certain. Today, after speaking with Roselynn, she had even more faith in

Emmanuel. As one would expect, she had confidence in her judgment,

having picked him put herself!
