Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

Everyone in Terence Group knew how terrible

Mackenzie’s temper was.

Not only was she indifferent, but she was also

heartless.

She hated people who came up with excuses for their

mistakes more than anything else.

Derek was furious, thinking it was all Alessandra’s fault.

D*mn it! I must rip her off! I won’t rest until I get my

money!

In the meantime, Alessandra was still panicking even after arriving home. She wondered if she should tell her

children about the incident.

After asking the neighbors, she found out it would cost

at most a few thousand to fix a computer and a

phone.

Hence, she thought of borrowing money from others.

Perhaps this can be resolved. I don’t want to make my

children worry again.

Soon, Derek’s call came.

“What? Twenty thousand?”

Alessandra almost passed out from shock when she

heard the number.

“Mr. Schwartz, h–how could it be so expensive?”

“Hmph! Expensive? I can’t retrieve the data from my devices, which affects the company’s project. We could

lose tens of millions, and I haven’t even taken into

account that amount! If you’re not willing to pay, I’ll file

a police report. We can settle this in court.”

Derek vented all his anger on Alessandra. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

He purely focused on scaring her. It intimidated her to

the point she did not dare to argue. She could only

agree for the time being and promise him she would

find a way to compensate him.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

Roselynn came back just in time to see Alessandra in a

daze. The latter’s eyes were red, and she looked as

though she could faint at any time. Seeing that,

Roselynn hurried over to check on Alessandra.

At first, Alessandra did not want to tell her. Thanks to Roselynn’s incessant questioning, however, the former

finally opened up and recounted the entire incident.

She even teared up helplessly when she reached the

end of the story.

“What? Twenty thousand for repairs? He’s clearly

extorting you! That’s no different from robbing

someone.”

Roselynn instantly exploded with anger, and she gave

Emmanuel a call.

Emmanuel had just gotten off work and was about to

head out for his part–time job. He, too, lost his temper

after learning about the incident from his sister.

Twenty thousand was more than enough for Derek to buy new devices. The compensation did not make

sense.

“Tell Mom not to worry about it. I’ll help her think of

something,” he promised.

Emmanuel felt frustrated after hanging up.

I can’t cough up twenty thousand now, but I can’t

borrow money from Mackenzie either. Otherwise, she’ll

think I married her just to scam money out of her. Wait.

Isn’t that icy woman an executive at Terence Group’s

headquarters? Perhaps she can help lower the

compensation amount if I ask for her help. That way, I

can help Mom pay that man.

That night, Mackenzie returned home at the same time

as Emmanuel got home from his part–time job.

There was a strong tension between them due to last

night’s events.

Despite knowing the truth, Mackenzie could not help

but think he was stupid. The mere sight of him

infuriated her.

“Ms. Quillen, I need your help with something,”

Emmanuel asked politely.

“What is it? Do you need money to treat another

woman?” Mackenzie questioned coldly, only to regret it

instantly. Why do I sound jealous? Will he get the

wrong idea and think I’m jealous?

“No!”

Emmanuel could not be bothered about what she

thought. He recounted the situation and asked, “Could you help me talk to Mr. Schwartz and make him lower

the compensation to a reasonable amount?”

Mackenzie kept quiet the entire time while secretly

shaking her head.

What a coincidence. The cleaner who broke Derek’s

laptop and phone was Emmanuel’s mom? That’s my

mother–in–law. And I scolded Derek so terribly because

of the trouble she created.

“Can you help me with this, Ms. Quillen?” asked

Emmanuel when there was no reply from her after a

long time.

“Huh?”

That was when Mackenzie snapped out of her

thoughts.

Emmanuel frowned. Did she not hear a word I said? Or

is she pretending not to hear me because she doesn’t

want to help? Did I just waste my time explaining the

situation to her?

In the next second, Mackenzie uttered coldly, “I’ll help

you put in a few words, then. I’ve got to warn you,

though. It won’t necessarily work.”
