A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2197 Back to the Zelinsky Residence

“Alright,” Emmanuel responded with a firm nod.

He thought, Things are finally coming together. If we stick to the plan, Teddy's reign at the Chamber of

Commerce will soon be over. Once he’s out of the way, we can use the Chamber to rally support for Ethan and

tie everything up neatly. Still, he reminded himself, Even if things seem calm on the surface, we can’t let our

guard down. Our rivals won't hesitate to play dirty.

Meanwhile, Magnus finally stepped off the plane at the airstrip after Emmanuel and his group had left.

“Magnus, why didn’t you meet with Emmanuel?” Hattie asked, lingering behind to greet him.

“No point. Why put myself through something | don’t want to deal with?” Magnus replied, a faint smile tugging at

his lips.

Hattie could hear the lingering sadness in his voice. His heartbreak was evident, a reminder of a relationship that

didn’t work out.

“Magnus... I'm sorry,” she apologized softly.

He stopped and looked at her, his smile a little warmer “Why?”

“If it weren't for me, things with Claudette might've turned out differently,” she admitted.

Magnus shrugged, brushing off her guilt. “I made my own choices. It's onfor being naive and handling things

the wrong way. | just have to live with it.”

Hattie gently squeezed his hand. “Well, | know you'll learn from it and cback stronger.”

Magnus pushed his glasses up and nodded confidently. No doubt about that. For now, let's set all that aside.

We're back in Zovince, and it’s tto cut ties with the Zelinsky family once and for all.”

Hattie’s expression mirrored his resolve. “Let's do it.”

A sleek black Mercedes-Benz rolled up as they exited the terminal, and Blake stepped out, limping slightly.

Magnus raised an eyebrow. “Seriously, Blake? A Benz? Since when did you start spending big? Don’t tell me

you've ditched your habit of spending on all those needy women.”

Blake grinned, flashing a set of perfectly aligned teeth. Hey, people change.”

Magnus smirked. “Wow, we haven't seen each other for a bit, and now you've got shiny new teeth and a

prosthetic eye? What's next, a full-on cyborg,upgrade?

Blake laughed. “Nah, people change. Your dad finally paidwhat he owed, so | treated myself-a car, a dentist,

and even a house in Yeringham.”

“You're settling in Yeringham now?” Hattie asked with a curious smile.

“Yep! Got a son to think about-tfor this old cripple to step up and raise him right. Sure, Abellyn’s got his

flaws, but let's be real-I’'m no saint either,” Blake replied, scratching the back of his head.

Hattie chimed in, “That's great to hear! Once this is over, I'll send you smoney to ensure your family

Blake lit up. “Thank you, Ms. Hattie!”

Without missing a beat, he added, “Don’t worry, I'm done wasting money on needy women. It’s all about my

family now... and dealing with sunfinished business.”

Magnus chuckled. “Talking about family now, huh? Makes it awkward to drag you into more Zelinsky

.”

Blake waved him off. “Con, this is my job. How else could | justify taking Ms. Hattie’s money? Besides, the

Zelinsky family isn’t as intimidating as they used to be. With Maxwell and Birch gone, thanks to Emmanuel, they

don’t have much power left. Who knows? They might even roll out the red carpet for you.”

“Not interested,” Magnus stated flatly, climbing into the car.

Blake shook his head, grinning as he turned to Hattie. “See? Still as proud as ever.”

Hattie laughed. “Hop in the car. Our final guy’s already here.”

Blake glanced over and spotted a large figure jogging toward them. “Quintus? The big guy’s here too? Looks like

my workload just got lighter!”

Hattie teased, “I thought you were glued to Mackenzie, not running around handling other business.”

Quintus grinned as he approached. “I left Mackenzie in Emmanuel’s hands for now. Got more pressing matters to

deal with, but don’t worry-I'll reclaim my spot soon enough.”

Hattie just shook her head at his usual antics while Blake rolled his eyes and muttered, “What a clown. Always

the big talker.”

“What was that?” Quintus teased, throwing an arm around his shoulder.

Blake replied slyly, “Oh, nothing. | just said we should hurry up and save your dad. If we don’t, he might be

shipped off to the battlefield after the presidential election.”

“That d*mn Zelinsky family! This time, I'm not letting them off so easily!” Quintus growled as he climbed into the

car, his energy

unshaken.

With that, they piled into the car and headed for the Zelinsky Residence.

The Zelinsky Residence loomed ahead, a place that Magnus and Hattie remembered as a maze of secrets and

danger. Breaking free from its grip had once seemed impossible, but Emmanuel’s recent moves in Zovince had

shaken the family’s once-unshakable foundation.

As they pulled up, Blake and Quintus led the way to the entrance, but they were stopped by guards.

“Who goes there?” a man with a sharp mustache barked stepping forward. His expression hardened when he

recognized Blake. “You again?”

Blake grinned and stepped aside. “Not justthis tLook who's here.”

The butler, Rudy Herbert, emerged to see the commotion. His eyes widened when he saw Hattie and Magnus.

“Ms. Hattie? And... who's this?”

“Rudy, don’t tellyou don’t recognize me. Surely, you know my voice,” Magnus asked, adjusting his

Rudy froze, his expression shifting to shock as he studied the familiar face and voice. “Mr. Magnus... it’s really

you? You're alive?”

Magnus smirked. “What can | say? | always keep my word-Maxwell had to go first.”
