Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

Alessandra rested for a day before returning to the

company to work.

She was feeling down in the dumps because she was

worried about the compensation amount. In fact, she

did not sleep well the last two nights.

Even though Emmanuel had told her not to worry and

promised he would find a solution, she could not help Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

but worry.

She feared Derek might confront her that day and

make a police report because she could not afford to

pay. If that were to happen, she might lose her job,

which would make things worse.

Regardless, Alessandra was not someone who would

evade problems, and the matter had to be resolved

eventually. Worst case scenario, she would kneel

before Derek in hopes the latter would forgive her.

“Ma’am!”

Sure enough, Derek went looking for her shortly after

she clocked in.

Alessandra straightened herself and greeted him

politely, “M–Mr. Schwartz!”

“I want to talk to you about the laptop and the phone

Before Derek could finish, Alessandra teared up, and

she got to her knees.

“Ma’am, what are you doing? You can’t do this!” Derek

quickly helped her up.

That scene was witnessed by everyone in the

company.

Even Beatrix, who passed by, watched it from afar.

Naturally, she did not know Mackenzie had helped

settle the issue. If necessary, I’ll help Emmanuel’s mom

to pay.

Although Mackenzie did not agree with the marriage,

the cleaner was still her mother–in–law. Beatrix could

not let the latter be in such a tough situation.

“Mr. Schwartz, my family really can’t afford to come up

with twenty thousand. Please have mercy on me. I

really didn’t do it on purpose!” Alessandra pleaded

with tears streaming down her face.

With so many people watching the commotion, Derek

was grateful that the news about him extorting twenty

thousand from Alessandra had not spread. Otherwise,

he would be reprimanded by everyone.

“Ma’am, I was only saying that to remind you to be

careful next time. Anyway, you don’t have to

compensate me anymore.”

“Huh?”

What’s going on?

Alessandra was stunned.

She never expected Derek would change so drastically.

Immediately, relief flooded her heart, but she still could

not stop crying.

“R–Really? I don’t need to compensate you anymore?”

“Yes. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.”

Derek left as soon as he finished speaking to avoid

attracting a crowd.

Everyone was in shock.

Even Beatrix was stupefied. After all, she had witnessed

Derek’s encounters with Alessandra, and the contrast

in his behavior was huge.

Something obviously happened before this. Did

Mackenzie help Emmanuel again? Otherwise, things

wouldn’t have been resolved so easily, even if I had

helped Ms. Cadigan put in some words.

Now that the matter was resolved, Alessandra felt

refreshed, and she excitedly dialed Emmanuel’s

number.

Emmanuel was still working at the hospital at that

moment. When he learned about the matter, he

breathed a sigh of relief.

“Manny, did Mackenzie help? I need to thank her in

person.”

Alessandra was already desperate enough to see her

daughter–in–law. And now, her desire to see the latter

grew stronger.

This daughter–in–law of mine is really capable. It must

be a blessing from the Lowe family’s ancestors that

Emmanuel found such a great wife.

“Mom, it’s almost the end of the month. You’ll get to see

her in a few days,” was all Emmanuel could say.

As soon as he hung up, he began to worry.

A few days ago, Mackenzie had told him she might not

go home with him, and the topic had been suspended

ever since.

Mom will be disappointed if Mackenzie doesn’t go

home with me.
