A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO Chapter 451-460
Chapter 451
“There’s no need to be overly concerned about the Lenoir family’s matters. As
long as you and Ms. Mackenzie are fine, no one will dare to harm you.
Moreover, the Quillen family will ensure you have a promising job opportunity
arranged for you!” Alfred intended to soothe Emmanuel’s anxiety, as he
understood that offending the Lenoir family in Yeringham was something
only a few dared to face.
Unexpectedly, Emmanuel was momentarily taken aback and responded
firmly, “I’m sorry, but it appears there has been a misunderstanding!”
“Huh?” Alfred was slightly taken aback.
Emmanuel responded earnestly, “Boing with Mackenzie has no connection to
the status of the Quillen family in Yeringham. I’ve never considered relying on
her or her family for my livelihood. My feelings for her are genuine, and that’s the reason I want to be with her. That’s all there is to it!”
“Uhl” Alfred was utterly taken aback, realizing that his previous remarks had come across cis somewhat insulting toward Emmanuel. Like many others, he
had succumbed to a common cognitive bias, assuming Emmanuel was
using his relationship with Mackenzie to advance himself and benefit from
her wealth.
With Emmanuel earnestly refuting him, he offered an apologetic smile. “Mr.
Lowe, I sincerely apologize!”
Surprised by his apology, Emmanuel nodded graciously and exited the car
upon reaching the Yociam Residence.
“Emmanuel, you don’t have to pick Ms. Mackenzie up today. She’ll be escorted
home,” Alfred told him.
He glanced back, displeased with the constant interference and obstacles in his relationship with Mackenzie. “Mister, I’ll handle the matter with Mackenzie myself. How we handle things should be our discussion. What do you think?”
Alfred was momentarily stunned by his response but quickly smiled and
nodded. “I understand.”
As the car departed from the residence, Alfred muttered to himself, “Now I
Connected
understand why Old Mr. Quillen favors this young man and why Ms.
Mackenzie was drawn to him!”
In Emmanuel, Alfred saw authenticity, which was the most beautiful thing in
the world. Perhaps he and Ms. Mackenzie are together, not because he
covets her wealth and family status, he figured.
Emmanuel promptly contacted Mackenzie, who insisted on him picking her
up by car.
After retrieving his car, he headed to the Terence Group headquarters and found her waiting at their usual spot. At that moment, he felt a deep sense of comfort, setting aside the troubles with the Lenoir family and experiencing a brief surge of happiness in his heart.
“Emmanuel, hurry up and get some groceries. Mom is coming over for dinner
tonight.” She hopped into the passenger seat and briskly instructed him, her demeanor showing a sense of urgency.
“Okay!” He swiftly drove to the market while she diligently worked on her
laptop from the passenger seat.
“Mackenzie, wait in the car. I’ll head off to get some groceries.” Reaching the
market, Emmanuel parked the car and prepared to go grocery shopping
alone.
Looking up from her laptop, Mackenzie noticed the bustling market and
called Emmanuel, “Wait, let’s go grocery shopping together!”
He froze in surprise and looked back, almost unable to believe it. Does she
want to go to the market with me?
“No, how can you set foot in such a place?” After realizing it, he promptly
declined.
Chapter 452
Mackenzie observed Emmanuel’s anxious expression and could not help but
chuckle. “What’s the matter? Do I have a contagious disease or something?
Why can you guys buy groceries at the market, but I can’t?”
He laughed and humorously explained, “You should ask your employees
about that. Imagine their faces if they found out you went to the market to
buy groceries.”
As he said this, she could not help but think of Lexi and Beatrix. If those two
knew she went to the market to buy groceries, their expressions would surely
be more exaggerated than his!
However, Mackenzie insisted on going and coldly stated, “After work, I’m no
longer the CEO. I’m just an ordinary wife.”
Huh? But- Emmanuel felt as if a lightning bolt had struck him when he heard
those words. Her sudden statement was shockingly lethal!
Despite her statement, it was simply Impossible for her, as the esteemed
CEO of Terence Group, to go to the market like an ordinary housewife. She
took care of buying and paying, while the tasks of carrying groceries and
bargaining naturally fell on him, the family cook.
As she walked, she was like the eye of a storm, with a large group of people
automatically trailing behind her.
Those husbands, who accompanied their wives to the market for groceries,
and the male stall owners could not help but involuntarily turn their heads to
admire this stunning beauty, Mackenzie, only to be pinched in the ear or
kicked in the ass by their wives.
In short, her arrival at the market caused a sensation akin to a celebrity
entering a fan zone!
“Miss, are you a celebrity?”
“That’s right. Why would someone like you come here for groceries? With just
one item from you, you could buy our entire stall!”
“Miss, why do you only have one servant with you?”
Many people around engaged in conversations with Mackenzie. When she
heard others say that Emmanuel was her servant, she could not help but
laugh. But in the next moment, she swiftly regained her composure as
laughing in public would undermine the composed image she had carefully
maintained over the years.
“Mackenzie, we’ve bought enough! I can’t carry anymore, even if we buy more!”,”
**
Hearing his reminder, she turned back and saw him in a sorry state,
burdened with bags of live seafood. But only his build and strength enabled
him to carry hundreds of pounds of food. Other men would likely struggle to
keep up with her shopping frenzy.
“Okay, let’s go home!” At least she had enjoyed shopping.
After Mackenzie’s departure, the market gradually returned to its usual state.
Both the men and the stall owners eagerly awaited the return of this
mesmerizing beauty. She captivated them with her charm and impressed
them with her generosity. Who would not like a woman like her?
After arriving home, Emmanuel hurriedly stored the groceries in the
refrigerator, filling it almost to the brim.
With just one trip to the market with her, they bought enough groceries for
half a month!
‘Mackenzie, what are you doing?” He turned around and found Mackenzie
busy in the kitchen, seemingly cooking away.
Oh my God! Did she catch a fever today? After being married for so long,
Emmanuel had no idea she could.cook!
She, however, calmly stared at him and coldly snorted, “I’ll cook dinner
tonight, so stop being so surprised!”
Stop being surprised? He was stunned. If her employees and family were to
witness this scene, they would undoubtedly be amazed.
“Mackenzie, I’m not sick or injured today, so let me handle the cooking. You’re already busy with work, so focus on that!” He attempted to usher Mackenzie
T
out of the kitchen, but her piercing gaze made him involuntarily shiver.
Chapter 453
“Get out!” With the tone of a CEO, Mackenzie pointed outside with her delicate
finger.
Emmanuel saw her determination and could only comply with her request.
However, she was serious about this. She believed it was unfair for other men
to enjoy their wife’s lovingly cooked meals while he did not have the same
privilege.
Although she could not promise to cook for him every day, she would fulfill
her responsibility as a wife whenever she had time.
Entering the living room, he began tidying up and organizing things.
Emmanuel noticed the illogical arrangement of several decorations in the
iving room. Due to his distant relationship with Mackenzie in the past, he
never felt a sense of ownership over the house and therefore never took the
initiative to change the layout.
With nothing better to do and knowing that she did not treat him as an
outsider, he decided to treat the house as his own.
He had always found the west balcony too empty, but he envisioned
transforming it into a beautiful space with a small rockery fountain
surrounded by vibrant flowers. And adding a rattan swing chair would allow
them to sit together, swing, and enjoy the romantic atmosphere when spring
arrives.
Pft! Stop, stop, stop! He quickly snapped out of his daydream and wondered
if he was losing his mind. How could he entertain such dangerous thoughts of
imagining Mackenzie sitting on a swing and enjoying the romantic.
atmosphere with him?
Emmanuel questioned his sanity and immediately remembered that Felicity
was coming over today. If she arrived at the house and saw her precious
Mackenzie busy in the kitchen while he was lost in daydreams, what would
she think of him?
No mother would want her daughter to become a worn-out wife, especially
when the daughter was the princess of the Quillen family!
Realizing this, he felt the urgency to convince Mackenzie to step out of the
kitchen and let him take over the cooking. Unfortunately, he realized it a bit
too late. There was already a knock on the door!
“Emmanuel, go answer the door!” Her authoritative voice echoed from the
kitchen, which indicated that she had not reconsidered her decision despite
her mother’s arrival.
She questioned the unfairness of the situation. If Felicity could cook for his
father after marriage, why could not she do the same for Emmanuel?
He also knew that time was running out and had no intention of being
deceitful, so he steeled himself and opened the door.
To his surprise, he found two women standing outside. Both were stunning
beauties, with the only distinction being their age.
“Hello, Mother, and whom might you be…” He greeted Felicity but did not
recognize the young beauty beside her.
In contrast, the young woman wore a polite and elegant smile as she
greeted, “Hello, Emmanuel!”
“Oh, it’s you, Sarah? Please come in quickly!” Emmanuel smiled and invited
the two inside, noticing their beauty and distinct differences in temperament
compared to Mackenzie.
Sarah secretly sized up him and did not appear embarrassed but smiled
generously instead upon being caught.
On the other hand, Felicity’s attitude was less amiable, and she wore a
somewhat chilly expression, although it was not to the extent of being
gloomy or terrifying.
“Felicity, you’re here?” Mackenzie heard the commotion and emerged from
the kitchen, so her brow was slightly furrowed upon seeing the two. “Sarah,
why are you here?”
Emmanuel was bewildered. Is this Mackenzie’s way of treating her family?
Why does she seem to treat her mother and sister as strangers?
Felicity and Sarah were taken aback when they saw Mackenzie coming out of
the kitchen. Despite not holding a spatula, her apron was a clear sign that
she had been cooking. They stood there in disbelief!
Is this a joke? The Quillen family’s princess is cooking and serving a man. This
is unbelievable.
Chapter
Mackenzie, what’s going on? Are you the one who usually cooks at home?”
Felicity questioned, her eyes fixed on Emmanuel.
Sarah also wore a stunned expression as she looked at him, finding it
unbelievable. Does this man have such great charm? Even my proud and independent sister treats him so considerately?
Mackenzie was ready to explain and clarify the situation to him, but to her surprise, he displayed a higher level of emotional intelligence than she had
anticipated.
Smiling, he explained, “Mother, you’ve misunderstood! Normally, I’m the one who does the cooking at home. However, tonight Mackenzie insisted that her culinary skills surpassed mine and wanted to prove it by preparing a meal herself. So, she took on the role of the master chef!”
Felicity finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “I see! Yes, she’s a genius.
Even though she doesn’t cook often, her culinary skills are impressive!”
Mackenzie was momentarily stunned, unable to resist secretly giving the two
a thumbs-up.
Giving Emmanuel a thumbs-up was a testament to his strong survival
instinct. Despite appearing silly and clueless most of the time, he had a knack
for conversing with his mother-in-law.
Meanwhile, giving Felicity a thumbs-up was praise for her ability to fabricate
stories and deceive not only others but also herself.
What’s more, when did she ever cook for them at home? How did she even
know that Mackenzie’s culinary skills were good?

“Well, looks like we’re in for a treat tonight!” Emmanuel echoed Felicity’s words
and smiled. “Please take your seats. I’ll serve the food for you!”
She nodded and took a seat gracefully. Despite her disapproval of him being
with Mackenzie, she did not show it at all.
On the other hand, Sarah followed him, eager to assist him in serving the dishes.
“Sarah, I can handle it! Please take a seat!” Emmanuel did not want a young
miss like Sarah to do such chores and promptly intervened to stop her.
3/5
She, however, had a radiant smile and a down-to-earth demeanor. “It’s
alright, Emmanuel. I’m used to doing household chores at home.”
“Oh?” Emmanuel was slightly taken aback, finding it hard to imagine such a
scene. How can a young lady from an affluent family like yours still do
household chores at home? Do the Quillen family’s servants just idle around?
“Mackenzie, the dishes are appetizing. Sarah appeared well-behaved,
praising Mackenzie’s culinary skills while serving the dishes.
Mackenzie’s demeanor, on the other hand, was unusually cold, a stark
contrast to how she treated her younger sister Beatrix.
ver, she chose not to respond to Sarah and refrained from making
harsh remarks. After all, she believed in not attacking someone who
approached with a smile.
Surprisingly, the dinner proceeded harmoniously
Emmanuel was aware of Follcity holding a low opinion of him. However, he
noticed that she refrained from making any offensive or targeted remarks,
possibly due to her maturity or out of concern for Mackonzle’s feelings.
On the other hand, Sarah was incredibly well-behaved, showcasing a stark
contrast to Mackenzie. She did not rosemble a privileged heiress and showed
no signs of being spoiled. After the med, she willingly helped tidy up the
tableware and even offered to assist with washing the dishes.
Of course, he would not allow her to wash the dishes. However, when he
finished washing and came out of the kitchen, he was surprised that Sarah
had helped pack the trash in the garbage bin.
Not only that, but she had also peeled some apples and placed them on the
table. Her demeanor resembled that of a well-mannered daughter from an
ordinary family rather than that of a wealthy heiress.
“Mackenzie, we’re leaving now. Make sure to get some rest early!” After
dinner, Felicity prepared to take her leave.
Emmanuel was taken aback. He had anticipated a challenging task during
Felicity’s visit tonight and did not expect it to go so smoothly.
5/5
“Mother, won’t you stay a little longer?” He even considered inviting Felicity to
stay a while longer.
“No, thank you. My car is parked downstairs, and if I leave it there for too long,
I might end up with a parking ticket!” She insisted on leaving, knowing that overstaying her welcome would likely displease Mackenzie.
Ma
*
He was well aware of the constantly limited parking spaces in Yociam
Residence. Therefore, he did not continue with the formalities.
“Goodbye, Emmanuel!” Sarah also said her goodbyes but then turned back
and added, “By the way, are you interested in having a small rockery on your balcony? I happen to have a friend who specializes in that!”
Chapter 455
1/5
Emmanuel was taken aback. Just before dinner, he had indeed made some
measuring on the balcony, even drawing a few lines. He had not expected
Sarah to be so sharp-witted and figure out that he wanted to create a
simulated mountain fountain.
“Yeah, that’s right!” Emmanuel did not deny it either.
“Then contact me on WhatsApp. I’ll introduce my friend to you later. He’s very professional,” Sarah said enthusiastically.
He could not refuse his sister-in-law’s kind offer, so he added Sarah as a
friend.
He felt genuinely happy inside. Not only did he meet his wife’s family tonight,
but he also discovered that they were much more pleasant to be around than he had imagined.
It seemed that those plotlines in novels were deceiving. They often portrayed commoners entering wealthy families, being incompatible with their new
relatives, and living miserable lives. However, the reality was completely
different.
The Quillen family members were all well-mannered. Even if Felicity did not
think highly of him as her son-in-law, she did not give him any trouble at all.
However, Mackenzie was not as optimistic as Emmanuel. After Felicity and
Sarah left, she warned him, “I’m warning you, don’t get too close to Sarah!”
“Huh?” Emmanuel was stunned, looking at her in astonishment. He did not understand what his wife meant. Is it possible that she is jealous of her
younger sister?
“Don’t worry. Even though Sarah is beautiful and well-behaved, I would never
have any improper thoughts about her. Can’t you trust me?” Emmanuel smiled and mentioned.
“I didn’t mean that!” she replied seriously.
“Then what do you mean?” Emmanuel was confused, wondering why his wife,
who usually seemed so cold, was worried about him getting close to her
sister.
Mackenzie could not explain it at the moment, and she did not want to
explain. She just emphasized once again, “Just don’t get too close to her,
that’s all!” After saying that, she turned and went back to her room.
With his wife’s behavior, Emmanuel could not help but have various thoughts.
If she isn’t worried that I can’t control myself and will make a move on her
younger sister, could it be that she is worried her sister will try to seduce me?
But that doesn’t make sense!
Emmanuel had never considered himself a handsome guy, nor did he think he possessed much charm. Nevertheless, he trusted his own judgment and felt that Sarah did not come across as the promiscuous type.
So, what do Mackenzie’s words actually mean? Forget it, just let it be!
The next morning, Emmanuel still drove Mackenzie to her company as usual.
But after getting out of the car, he did not immediately turn around and rush
back to work as he usually did.
Mackenzie displayed a frighteningly perceptive nature and immediately
turned to him, asking, “Did you lose your job?” Emmanuel was taken aback
and wore a bitter smile. “You already know?”
“I took a wild guess,” she admitted. And indeed, Mackenzie had her
suspicions. Emmanuel had been absent for half a month, and it was
well-known that General Lenoir had vowed not to let him off the hook.
Considering the strong connections between Beacon Hospital and the Lenoir
family, it was only natural for Emmanuel to have been fired.
“Do you want to work at Terence Group?” Mackenzie took the initiative and
offered it to him.
Emmanuel replied, “My expertise doesn’t align, does it?”
Indeed, it did not seem to align. Despite Terence Group being a vast
conglomerate encompassing various industries such as real estate, construction, hotels, jewelry, energy, and technology, it was challenging to
find a suitable position for a gynecologist within the company. Creating a
gynecology department exclusively for female employees seemed
implausible.
Chapter 456
1/5
Mackenzie suggested, “How about becoming a driver? If you excel in the role,
I can promote you to the captain of the driver team.”
This was actually her offering him preferential treatment. As the CEO for
many years, she had always been fair and never showed favoritism.
“I would still prefer to seek opportunities outside on my own.” Emmanuel
déclined once again. He was not exactly sure why he refused, perhaps not wanting people to speculate about his relationship with Mackenzie.
“Alright then, suit yourself.” Mackenzie did not insist. Although their marriage’
was known to some, it had never been publicly announced. If Emmanuel
were to officially join the Terence Group, it would eventually become common knowledge.
After Mackenzie left, Emmanuel decided to visit the bank first and check the
balance on the bank card given to him by Commander Stevenson. It was likely to be a substantial amount.
He was well aware that he might suddenly become a billionaire. Perhaps that
was why he declined Mackenzie’s invitation.
Soon, Emmanuel arrived at the Onza District Commercial City where there
was an exclusive branch of Longine Bank. The gold card given to him by
Commander Stevenson was the prestigious Longine VIP Card of this
international bank.
Longine Bank not only held a prominent position among the country’s banks
but also ranked first globally in terms of assets. It boasted top-tier electronic
systems, financial services, and security systems worldwide.
The bank categorized its customers based on card types, each with different
entry requirements. The high-level client section was designated for
individuals like Emmanuel, and the bank catered to both regular customers
and high-level clients.
The people who frequented this section were undoubtedly from the upper class of society. Everyone was impeccably dressed, as if attending a grand event. In contrast, Emmanuel appeared noticeably shabby and out of place among these well-dressed individuals. Soon after entering, he became the
center of attention, as if an alien had intruded into a gathering of swans.
3/5
Emmanuel did not care about the stares and took a number, waiting in line.
Suddenly, he heard a surprised voice from behind. “Emmanuel? What brings
you here?” He turned around and was equally surprised to see two women in
front of him.
One was his long-lost 18th blind date, Milani. The other was surprisingly
Tommy’s kindergarten teacher, Tia.
Emmanuel did not know that the two of them were actually classmates and
had been desk mates in high school. They had a good relationship and could
be considered close friends.
Milani had been hanging out in Onza for a while. Today, she deliberately
came to the commercial city with Tia to show off, pretending to come to the exclusive Longine Bank to withdraw money.
In the minds of many people, especially women, Longine Bank was like a fighter jet among banks, and being able to visit such a place inexplicably gave them a sense of superiority. Seeing her 18th blind date here, she could
not hide her astonishment. Isn’t he supposed to be a failed gold digger,
almost destitute and on the verge of becoming a street wanderer?
“Ms. Zimmerman, I’m not related to you in any way. Do I need to report to you
or explain where I am?” Emmanuel understood her gaze and replied casually,
making the other party frustrated.
“You-” Milani really wanted to curse, but she held herself back.
However, she realized that cursing someone in a place like this would make
her appear crude. She had been trying to maintain an elegant demeanor in
front of Tia, and ruining it in an instant was out of the question. So, after
regaining her composure, she devised a plan.
But Emmanuel did not pay attention to what she was thinking. He nodded to
Tia and continued waiting.
To Emmanuel’s surprise, Milani mustered a fake smile and approached him,
Initiating a conversation. “Um… Emmanuel, how long have you been waiting? What brings you here?”
*
Although Emmanuel was a bit impatient, he did not want to be rude. He
responded indifferently, “I’ve been waiting for a while. I’m here to check my
account.”
Chapter 457
“Heh, you don’t nood to wait in line for account inquiries. Don’t you realize you
can just go straight Into that room and have someone assist you?” Milani
purposely gestured toward the VIP manager’s office.
“Hey, Milani, isn’t that against the bank policy?” Tia, known for her
straightforward nature and secret admiration for Emmanuel, quickly
interjected.
ve
She feared that Emmanuel would fall for Milani’s trick only to be mocked later
“No, it’s not!” Milani shot Tia a stern glance, her tone resolute. “Tia, I’ve been to
this bank more times than you, so I’m definitely more familiar with the
procedures. Trust me!”
#
This left Tia with little to say.
Emmanuel had already garnered attention, and suddenly, two
decent-looking women approached him, striking up a conversation. It drew
the curiosity of the surrounding customers.
Some individuals understood Milani’s intentions and could not help but stifle
a laugh. Who did not know the rules of the Longine VIP Manager’s office?
VIP customers received special treatment upon entry, but if ordinary
customers tried to barge in, they might just experience a unique treatment
courtesy of the bank’s security-being forcefully escorted off the premises.
It was not easy to become a VIP of Longine Bank because it required at least
a deposit of 1.5 million or more to be considered eligible. Otherwise, why
would there be so many people waiting in line, but hardly anyone qualified to
enter?
They looked at Emmanuel’s attire and immediately knew he was a poor guy.
They doubted he even had a hundred thousand on him, let alone ten million.
Perhaps the only way he could afford it was by sleeping with women at night.
Although Tia didn’t dare speak out, her eyes warned Emmanuel not to
recklessly barge in. Little did they expect that after some consideration, he suddenly headed toward the VIP room!
“Hey, Emmanuel-” Tia wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Emmanuel
swiftly entered the room.
Milani was also dumbfounded, unable to believe how easily she had been
tricked by Emmanuel. “Heh, in the end, he’s just a country bumpkin who hasn’t
seen the world. No matter how much he mooches off others, it won’t change
his true nature!” She mocked triumphantly.
The surrounding onlookers started gossiping.
”
“Someone from the lower class like him must be visiting the prestigious
Longine Bank for the first time. He doesn’t know any rules!”
“Wait until he gets thrown out, it’s going to be embarrassing. Haha!”
Hearing these voices, Tia felt anxious for Emmanuel. He looks so handsome,
but why does he have to be so clueless? Turns out he is just a naive and
inexperienced guy? It’s truly disappointing.
However, Emmanuel paid no attention to what people outside were saying.
It was indeed his first time visiting the esteemed Longine Bank, and he had to
thank Milani for providing him with information; otherwise, he wouldn’t have
known about this shortcut. After entering the VIP room, Emmanuel caught a
glance from the manager, who frowned.
“May I ask who you are? What assistance do you need?” Seeing Emmanuel’s
shabby attire, the manager did not consider him a VIP client of Longine Bank.
Instead, he thought Emmanuel had come to the wrong place, like some
migrant worker.
However, doubts aside, being in his position meant having some professional
etiquette. He could not act rashly until he understood the situation, right?
“I’m here to check my account,” Emmanuel stated his purpose without
beating around the bush.
The manager chuckled, realizing that this guy was completely ignorant. Does
he think Longine Bank is the same as those small-town banks? Today, he
would let this country bumpkin understand the profound culture of Longine

However, he quicty composed himself, giving Emmanuel once-over with a

International jokes! Could it be a lunatic causing trouble?
“Sir, do you know that to have our Longine VP Card, you must have a deposit
of at least 1.5 million?” The manager coldly retorted, his gaze quite
contemptuous. He stared at Emmanuel as if he didn’t want to believe him!
Moreover, he had already placed one hand on the button. With just a gentle
press, the bank’s well-trained professional security guards would arrive on
the scene within ten seconds and throw out any troublemakers!
Little did he expect, Emmanuel slowly placed a gold card on the table, calmly
saying, “I don’t know about the conditions, but I really have it.”
What the heck? The manager was shocked to the core at the sight of that
gold card, quickly retracting his hand from the ready button.
He shivered all over, looking at Emmanuel. This was indeed the bank’s
Longine VIP Gold Card.
“Now, can you help me check my account?” Emmanuel calmly looked at him,
knowing that the man didn’t believe his words from the expression.
He had not actually intended to let the manager fly in the face of the truth,
but the manager was looking down on him.
“Yes! Of course. Sir, please wait a moment.” The manager inwardly took a
deep breath, his attitude completely different from before.
However, the man quickly took out an electronic device to verify Emmanuel’s
identity instead of proceeding. Nevertheless, Emmanuel followed his
instructions and placed his finger on the device.
His fingerprint information was recorded in the Northern Region, so it was
easy for Commander Stevenson to use his fingerprint to register the information.
However, unexpectedly, a piercing sound came from the device. “Verification failed.”
What’s going on?! Emmanuel looked at the red light that lit up on the
machine and could not help but feel nervous.
The manager’s face instantly turned black as he stared fixedly at Emmanuel.
He had just suspected that his gold card was fake, and now the identity verification had indeed failed.
“Wait. Let me try a different finger.” Emmanuel quickly said.
Since the manager wanted to be safe than sorry, he forced himself to be
patient and tried verifying Emmanuel’s identity again.
This time, the result was completely different from before.
“Verification successful, Mr. Emmanuel. Your balance at Longine Bank is seven
hundred twenty-four million.”
What the hell?! The manager was.instantly flabbergasted by the asset
balance he heard.
Over seven hundred million in assets? This seemingly unremarkable man turned out to be a super tycoon. Appearances can be deceiving.
“Sir, it seems like your expression is quite rich.” Emmanuel could not help but
tease with a half-smile.
“Well… that’s because you have an imposing aura, haha…” The manager
awkwardly made a joke, realizing how embarrassing his expression had been
just now.
He even wished he could slap himself hard twice for displaying such a wide
range of expressions. What am I thinking, showing such a richness of
emotions? Is this the demeanor of a VIP manager?
Chapter 459
At the same time, he was also relieved that he didn’t rush to call the security
guards to take action just now. Otherwise, his good days would end if he
offended such a big client!
So, the manager, Mr. Wyatt, quickly stood up and started bombarding flatteries toward Emmanuel.
Emmanuel didn’t like being flattered. He was only here to confirm how much
bonus he had accumulated back then from completing so many triple-S
class missions.
It turned out to be more than expected!
He stood up and left now that the matter was completed.
Mr. Wyatt didn’t dare to be negligent and personally escorted Emmanuel out
while trying to please him in every possible way. After all, maintaining such a
super client was the point of his workl
Click.
The VIP door opened!
“He’s here!”
A group of onlookers, waiting outside to gloat, became excited when they
heard the commotion as if they were full of beans.
“Everyone, make way! Someone might be thrown out of the room later, and it
won’t be good if you get hit!” Milani intentionally reminded the people around
her who were spectating.
Upon hearing this, everyone scattered, their eyes filled with eager
anticipation of someone being thrown out!
Many people were loudly discussing, “Can you believe there are such foolish
people? Haven’t they seen the elephant? They should at least know how to read, right?”
“Haha, there’s a saying, ‘It is truly terrifying to be uneducated.’ Does he even
know what VIP means?”
Listening to these comments, Tia didn’t know how to feel. Mr. Lowe looked so
handsome, but why was he so dumb?
However, no one was thrown out after the door remained open for a while.
Instead, they gradually heard Mr. Wyatt’s hearty laughter.
What is going on? It seemed to be different from what they imagined!
“Mr. Lowe, please give me your contact number. Next time, for such minor
matters, I will take care of it for you, so you don’t have to come in person!”
Many people were petrified in place upon hearing these polite words.
Is that country bumpkin a VIP client of the bank?
Moreover, his VIP status seemed quite high. Otherwise, when did they ever
see Mr. Wyatt being so attentive to someone?
Everyone couldn’t fathom the level of Emmanuel’s rank among the VIP client
list, leaving them dumbfounded.
Milani was even more embarrassed. She thought she had a fool by her side,
but who would have thought the fool was herself?!
Tia couldn’t understand either but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Mr.
Lowe looks so cool at this moment! I wonder if he has a girlfriend. Should I be
bold and try to flirt with him?
“Alright, then I’ll take my leave!” Emmanuel replied to Mr. Wyatt and took a few
steps forward. Suddenly, he remembered something and returned to thank
Milani sincerely. “Oh, Ms. Zimmerman. I forgot to thank you for your reminder.
i
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known I didn’t need to wait in line!”
Pfft! She felt like she was about to spit out blood. She felt as if Emmanuel had
slapped her hard across the face.
“You are such a despicable guy!”
After he left, Milani couldn’t swallow her anger as she had to find out the truth.
So, she barged into the VIP room on her own. “Mr. Wyatt, why did that country bumpkin receive VIP service? Is he a VIP client of your bank?”
“Who are you?” Mr. Wyatt had professional ethics and couldn’t disclose
information about VIP clients. So, he stared at her with a gloomy expression.
“I… I…” Milani didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
“Are you a VIP client of our bank?”
“No… No, I’m not!”
“If that’s the case, how dare you barge in here?”
Seeing Mr. Wyatt’s hand already hovering over the security service button,
she finally snapped out of it.
“Miss, please show some respect!”
Milani felt terrible hearing his warning and quickly turned around to leave!
Tia was standing outside, looking at her in bewilderment.
The people around them pointed and laughed at her as if she was an idiot.
She felt utterly embarrassed as she had never experienced such humiliation
in her life! Hmph, it’s all because of Emmanuel, that toy boy! I definitely won’t
let him get away with it!
Chapter 460
After leaving the bank, Emmanuel headed straight to the Pluk District
Commercial City. This commercial city was unlike the upscale Onza District
Commercial City in that it was a bustling and prosperous place teeming with
people from all walks of life. Thus, this commercial city was far more vibrant
and thriving.
He was taking it easy behind the wheel and couldn’t help but be amazed by
the scenery. He was also surprised to learn that Eve was doing so well in
Yeringham and that the Waterspring Club, with its multiple floors, was likely
worth several hundred million. This was the headquarters of the Wolf Warrior
Society, an industry that straddled the line between legal and illegal.
“Sir, please wait a moment!” Emmanuel parked his car and was about to
enter the Waterspring Club when several attractive hostesses stopped him
at the door. All the hostesses were dressed in gowns with red floral patterns, with high slits that reached the tops of their thighs, showcasing their smooth
and alluring white legs. “Do you have a reservation, sir?” one of the hostesses
asked with a sweet smile.
Chapter 460 Looking for Eve
That sweet smile was nothing more than a professional smile, as they had
gone through months of professional training to be that sweet to every
guest. However, there was a trace of disdain deep within their eyes. These
beautiful women were highly paid employees of the Waterspring Club,
2/3
whereas the Wolf Warrior Society’s spa was well-known in Yeringham among
influential figures of both the lawful and unlawful worlds. They had
encountered many prominent figures and gradually developed a
condescending gaze. Even if Emmanuel, an ordinary man dressed casually,
was handsome, they simply wouldn’t give him a second look.
“I’m here temporarily to find someone,” he replied honestly. After checking his
account, he wanted to discuss some matters with Eve. Moreover, without her
help, he might not be able to complete the special SSSR-level mission.
Emmanuel could feel the hostesses’ eyes on him, but he had been living as an ordinary citizen incognito in Yeringham for three years. He eventually grew accustomed to such treatment, so it didn’t bother him much. However, his only criticism of the hostesses was that they appeared young, possibly just entering adulthood, but their figures and appearances were exquisite! With their youth and beauty, they wouldn’t have trouble finding impressive
boyfriends. Yet, they willingly worked at the Waterspring Club, indicating that
the treatment and power of the Waterspring Club must be remarkable.
“Whom are you looking for, sir? And in which room are they in?” One of the
hostesses heard him and frowned, asking in a more distant voice. The
Waterspring Club is neither a bar nor a restaurant, so why would he come to
find someone? If he is not here to spend money on the services, then there is
no reason for us to entertain him.
Nonetheless, Emmanuel did not give a hoot about their thoughts and
responded nonchalantly, “I’m looking for Eve.”
What? Eve! When they heard that name, the hostesses trembled slightly,
their expressions gradually changing, and they exchanged puzzled looks. Despite their initial shock, some of them even smirked. Haha, this guy dared to say it! Not only is Eve the proprietor of the Waterspring Club, but she is also the leader of the Wolf Warrior Society. She has a lot on her plate and won’t
see anyone who wants to meet her.
