Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2257 Caught in the Act, but the Tables Turn!

“Oh my!” Chiara gasped in shock.

Finished

At this moment, she was completely exposed-without a single piece of clothing on her! Her flawless, porcelain-

like figure was priceless. How could she allow just anyone to see it?

At that, she instinctively reached for her clothes to cover herself, but in the next instant, shock and fear froze her

movements, for the man standing at the door was none other than the husband she thought was dead.

“M-Maxwell? You're alive?!” Chiara’s voice trembled.

Maxwell's expression twisted between fury and greed as he took in the sight of her bare skin. Then, his anger

exploded.

He had restrained himself for three years, never once touching this masterpiece of a woman. And now, she was

sneaking around, sharing her body with another man. In a hotel room!

A searing rage engulfed him—he felt like he was being burned alive by the fires of betrayal.

“Chiara Lannister, you unfaithful wh*re! So, the last three years-you've just been pretending?!” Maxwell pointed

at her, stepping forward with unbridled fury.

Behind him, Otto also couldn’t help but steal a few greedy glances.

This was one of the Four Beauties of Zovince-countless men had fantasized about her body day and night.

Tsk, tsk... That figure, those proportions, that smooth skin, those curves... Absolutely perfect. No wonder men

lost their minds over her.

But at the end of the day, Chiara was not an ordinary woman. She quickly regained her composure, suppressing

her initial panic. Casually, she slipped on an outer garment to cover herself-she wouldn't let just anyone keep

staring at her.

But this action only infuriated Maxwell even more.

So, her body is something this crippled b*stard can see, but not her husband by law?!

“You b*tch! I'm going to kill you!”

Maxwell, overwhelmed by rage, lunged at her, his hands aiming straight for her throat. But he had overlooked

one crucial fact-he was no match for Chiara!

With a single swift kick, she sent him crashing to the ground. Pointing at him, she berated, “Don’t push your luck,

Maxwell Zelinsky! If you can’t have me, don blothers-blyourself!”

Maxwell stared at her in disbelief.

“I've always told you-I don’t like weak men,” Chiara declared with absolute confidence. “I said that when you

becthe patriarch of the Four Great Aristocratic Families or someone of even greater power, then I will

willingly be yours!

so | chose to be with a man stronger than you. What part of that is my fault?”

Her words, spoken with such conviction, left Maxwell completely speechless.

Meanwhile, Gautier stood behind Chiara, smirking in disdain.

Once upon a time, Gautier had been nothing more than the son of a wealthy business family from Yeringham.

Though he was rich, he had never been on the slevel as the heirs of the Four Great Aristocratic Families of

Zovince-let alone their direct successors.

Back then, Maxwell had been someone he could only look up to. But now?

Now, Maxwell was nothing more than a loser, a pathetic stray dog at his feet. Even his wife was now his to enjoy.

For Gautier, this moment was an unparalleled sense of triumph-validation for everything he had done, proof that

his ruthless ambition had paid off.

Finally regaining his senses, Maxwell turned to Otto and roared, “Otto, what the hell are you waiting for? Break

this b*stard’s d*mn legs! And restrain this disloyal si*t—I'll teach her how to be a proper wife today!”

“Yes, Mr. Maxwell!”

Otto had been waiting for this moment. Now that he had received his master's command, he immediately lunged

toward Gautier.

Taking down Teddy's disciple, who was also crippled? This would be an easy victory. But to his surprise, Chiara

suddenly intervened-to protect Gautier.

The two clashed for several moves, yet neither could gain the upper hand. Otto, an S+ Rank fighter, was

stunned that he couldn't overpower Chiara right away.

“Mrs. Zelinsky, if you continue to stand in my way, don’t blme for showing no mercy!” Otto’s expression

turned serious.

He admitted that Chiara had fully mastered the Lannister family’s martial arts techniques. In terms of skill, he

might not surpass her, but he was an experienced combatant-if it cdown to a fight to the death, he was

confident he would emerge victorious.

“I won't let you lay a hand on Mr. Verkade!” Chiara had no intention of backing down.

Behind her, Gautier’s smirk deepened. He didn’t need to say a word-his mocking gaze alone nearly drove

Maxwell insane.

“Otto, stop wasting time! Kill that b*stard! Take them both down!” Maxwell roared in fury.

Outo no longer hesitated. His hands formed into claws as he leaped forward like an eagle swooping down on its

prey, aiming straight for Chiara’s vital points.

Chiara felt a twinge of panic.

If they were in an open combat arena, she would have ad plenty of ways to counter his attack. But inside this

confined room, with Gautier behind her, she had no room to maneuver.

“Chiara Bear, watch out!”

Seizing the moment, Gautier made his move. He pulled Chiara into his arms while simultaneously launching

Dragon's Reversal Essence with his free hand to clash head-on with Otto.

Boom!

Their attacks collided with force.

Otto felt the impact reverberate through his body, but he managed to tear into Gautier’s arm, drawing blood.

Bright red droplets splattered across Chiara’s beautiful face.

“Gautier!” Chiara gasped in shock.

Her expression of deep concern turned Maxwell's face an ugly shade of green.

“You filthy wh*re! You d*mn power-hungry sl*t!” Maxwell was so enraged that he nearly threw himself at them.

Otto sneered and prepared to rip Gautier apart with his claws. But in that very instant, Chiara struck him from

the front while-out of nowhere-two iron fists slammed into his back from behind.

What?! Otto’s mind reeled in alarm.

By the the realized what had happened, it was too late.

He managed to block Chiara’s palm strikes, but the forceful punches from behind sent him flying forward, blood

spraying from his mouth-right onto Chiara’s face.

The momentum sent Otto crashing into Chiara, knocking her off balance.

Chiara was momentarily stunned, her expression utterly shocked.

“Heh, Otto, in the end, you still died at my hands. Any last words? Or do you want to curseone last time?”

A voice rang out from behind him-the voice of that ugly b*stard.

“Blake, you son of a b*tch! Even your sneak attacks are shameless as hell! You're f*cking disgusting!” Otto spat

out, not even bothering to turn around.

For one, he was gravely injured and didn’t want to waste energy. For another... well, if he was going to die, at

least he got to fall into Chiara’s delicate body one last time. A small final pleasure before the end.

“Heh, look at me-my face is already this ugly. Do you think | care about dignity?” Blake grinned, completely

unfazed.

Maxwell trembled, but he had no tto deal with Blake. His gaze immediately shot toward the doorway. And

there, just as he feared, Magnus slowly stepped inside, adjusting his glasses.

“Magnus... what brings you here?” Maxwell's voice was laced with fear.

Chiara was equally shocked.

She had only just discovered that Maxwell was still alive. But from the look of things, Magnus had already known

all along.

“Gautier is a friend of mine,” Magnus said with a calm smile. “I thought I'd stop by and see if he needed my help.

“Haha, Magnus, don’t be so modest!” Gautier laughed. “I’ve been doing you a huge favor all along- otherwise,

how else would you have the chance to eliminate your sworn enemy today?”
