Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 576

“Let’s see what happens when the time comes, Mom. If worse comes to

worst, we’ll just stop by briefly to drop off a wedding gift.” That was the

simplest solution Emmanuel could think of. Even though he was no longer

poor, he had no desire to interact with the Zimmerman family due to how

repulsive they were.

“Oh… Okay.” Instead of thinking about it, Alessandra put it out of her mind. All

she wanted to do now was find Ryder a new wife, so she immediately

contacted a matchmaker.

Meanwhile, he returned to decorating the house with Roselynn until the

afternoon. During that time, they chatted about her relationship with Jaxton.

All she ended up saying was that she would divorce Jaxton after the

festivities were over. Despite her desire to alleviate their mother’s anxiety, she

decided not to marry any guy who showed interest in her.

Nonetheless, Emmanuel supported that decision because he did not think

Jaxton was a man his sister could rely on for the rest of her life. She deserved

a better choice since she was still young and had not lost too much to that

man.

Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by a commotion outside the

door.

“Is Emmanuel home?” someone called out.

After hearing this, he and his sister hurried out the door.

What they saw shocked Roselynn as there was a Lamborghini and a

Mercedes Benz parked right outside. The Lamborghini was driven by a

wealthy woman seemingly in her thirties, but it was unclear what her actual

age was.

“Aunt Samantha?” Emmanuel instantly recognized the Lamborghini’s driver

as Mackenzie had shown him photos of the important members of her family

so that he would not be confused when meeting her family due to his face

blindness.

Unbeknownst to Samantha, he never forgot anything he saw, so there was

no way he would ever be mistaken. “Your physique’s very nice. Your face isn’t

that bad either,” she commented with a chuckle. Then, she licked her lips

avariciously and snapped her finger, prompting a man and a woman to

emerge from the Mercedes Benz to drag Emmanuel inside the vehicle.

“Hey! Aunt Samantha, what is the meaning of this?” Emmanuel was freaking

out because she had said nothing before she did this.

Similarly, Roselynn was shocked by what had happened to her brother. Why

does it look like a case of human trafficking? This woman is attempting to

abduct my brother right before me! What on earth is going on?

“Why else would I be doing this? Of course, I’m dressing you up. If you walk

into the Quillen residence dressed like this, people will look down on you!”

Samantha thought of Mackenzie as her own daughter.

In fact, she loved Mackenzie more than she did her own daughter, so she had

to make sure everything was perfect. At first glance, Emmanuel appears

average, but with proper grooming, he would be suitable for attending formal

events.

She had witnessed firsthand the dramatic transformations that major

celebrities underwent before and after their rise to fame, such as how many

well–known male celebrities, including Dustin Beauver and Tim Harland, once

looked even worse than Emmanuel. So, she reasoned that Emmanuel, too,

might look different after this transformation.

Meanwhile, Alessandra had finished her phone call, and upon noticing the

commotion outside, she quickly–stepped out, only to find Roselynn standing

by the door. “What happened? Where’s Manny?” she asked.

Roselynn pointed at the Lamborghini driving away and shrugged. “You’re too

late, Mom. Manny was snatched away by a middle–aged woman just now.”

“What? Snatched?” Alessandra was stunned. Are human traffickers these

days bold enough to kidnap a man like Emmanuel? Should we report this to

the police?

:

After two hours of intensive makeover, Emmanuel finally stepped out of the

changing room of a high–end fashion boutique, looking like a brand–new

person.

“Not bad!” Samantha exclaimed. Then, she examined him thoroughly as

though she were purchasing a farm animal. She even reached out to make a

few minor adjustments to his outfit, but she did not slap his butt. “With your

body, people would definitely believe that you are the son of some rich and

powerful family,” she mumbled with a small chuckle. Yes, I like it. Mackenzie

would be pleasantly surprised, if not shocked, to see him dressed so well. At

this thought, she couldn’t wait to see Mackenzie’s expression when that

happened.

As for Emmanuel, he was completely speechless. Why is Mackenzie’s aunt

such a tyrant? She forced her way regardless of what I wanted. If not for her

relationship with my wife, I would have flipped out by now. Hmm! Mackenzie

also has tyrannical moments, so did she learn that behavior from Aunt

Samantha?

“A call for you, Mr. Lowe!” Samantha’s assistant walked over to hand him–the

phone. He had left his belongings in her care while he changed.

Seeing that it was a call from Mackenzie, he hurriedly answered it. Before he

could say anything, his phone was snatched from his grasp.

“Where are you, Emmanuel?” Mackenzie sounded angry over the phone as he

had not replied to her message.

“Hi, Mackenzie! Don’t worry. I’ll ensure your man will be on time when he

arrives at the Quillen residence.” There was a proud lilt in Samantha’s voice.

“Aunt Samantha?” Mackenzie instantly understood what had happened the

moment she heard her voice! Her rage subsided, and she said calmly, “Don’t

go overboard, Aunt Samantha. Otherwise, he won’t be the same man

anymore.”

The call ended as soon as Mackenzie finished speaking.

What she liked about him was his sincerity and lack of pretentiousness.

Hence, she was worried that Samantha might dress him up so much that he

would blend in with the horde of rich young men instead.

“Well, I certainly did go overboard.” Staring at the numerous luxury branded

accessories and clothing pieces, Samantha wondered if she had dressed

him too well. Still, she did not plan on correcting her own mistake. Thus, she

gestured at him. “Let’s go, my dear son–in–law. It’s time to head home.”

Then, she moved to pay for the new outfit, but Emmanuel gently grabbed her

wrist.

However, the sales associate stood stock still and watched upon seeing this.

Stunned, Samantha turned to look at him. He has just agreed to everything I

requested, so what is he up to now?

“Since these will now be mine, I should pay, Aunt Samantha.”

“You?” she gasped. Astonishment was painted all over her face. “Do you know

how much everything costs? It’s at least six figures. Can you even afford

that?” She didn’t mean it in a derogatory way; she was simply telling the

truth.

To Samantha’s surprise, Emmanuel smiled and replied solemnly, “While I’m

not as capable as Mackenzie, I can still afford to buy my own things. If you’re

that close to her, you wouldn’t want others to say that her husband’s a gold

-digger, right?”

At this moment, his assertions persuaded her. Her initial impression of him

was that he was a rather handsome man who was very nonchalant about

marrying into the Quillen family. That was why he left such a deep impression

on her mind. Now, she could sense a genuine aura around him that was

impossible to ignore. His entire being radiated with a man’s stubborn pride as

if he had never bowed to anyone.

“Very well, then. As you wish,” Samantha conceded.

“Thank you for taking the time to help me pick out an outfit.” Emmanuel then

handed his card to the sales associate to pay for the items.

On the other hand, Samantha was pleased with how he thanked her

because he was so courteous.

Unexpectedly, she heard him say, “Although I don’t like any of it.”

Aargh! She suddenly felt an overwhelming fury swell up her throat. The

instant she heard those words, she knew her son–in–law was not as

charming as expected.
