Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 408

Alessandra responded anxiously, “I heard it was self-defense, but now he has

disappeared! It was as if he had vanished into thin air!”

“How could it be?” Roselynn shared the same nervousness, unable to believe

that her typically honest and upright younger brother would commit such an

act.

Could there have been some kind of misunderstanding?

“I don’t have the details either!” Alessandra hurriedly added, “Roselynn, should

we go to the police station and ask around? I’m not quite educated, so we’ll

rely on you and Jaxton to talk to them.”

Before Roselynn could respond, Jaxton immediately interjected, “Mother, it’s

best not to do that! Murder is a serious offense, and if the police haven’t

contacted you, we’ll only make fools of ourselves if we intrude without

permission.”

Jack’s wife, Alina, chimed in swiftly as well, “Exactly! But I heard that

Emmanuel’s wife is a really capable person. Let her save Emmanuel!”

Those words were rather a sarcastic remark than an actual suggestion.

Jack promptly responded, “Oh, Alina, you don’t know anything, so please don’t

speak without thinking! Emmanuel and his wife are divorced, so she probably

won’t care!”

“Is that true?” Alina pretended to be surprised. “Why wasn’t I told about this?”

Roselynn’s murderous intent rose as she observed the couple’s exchange. As

she was a witness to Jack’s growth since childhood, she naturally understood

his character. He was always fond of boasting about his accomplishments,

trying his hardest to outshine his two cousins. So, when he learned that

Emmanuel had married a wealthy and beautiful woman, immediately

casting a large shadow on him, of course, he felt displeased.

Is the reason for their invitation today to gloat over our misfortune?

“Roselynn, why would Emmanuel be so foolish as to divorce Ms. Quillen?”

Jaxton feigned regret but was truly dancing with joy. He had a better

understanding of Mackenzie’s true identity than Jack’s family; she wasn’t just

any typical beautiful and wealthy woman but the eldest daughter of

Yeringham’s most affluent family!

He wouldn’t dare to do anything to Roselynn as long as Mackenzie and

Emmanuel remained married. He had even been exceptionally obedient to

his wife during this period! If it was confirmed today that they were divorced

and Emmanuel was imprisoned for murder, then he could start handling

Roselynn and crush her arrogant demeanor!

He noticed that she hadn’t greeted his parents these past few days and

hadn’t shared the same bedroom with him despite the fact that they had

been married for a while. It was frankly utterly unreasonable of her to forgo

her duties as his wife. Today, he had made up his mind to force her on the

bed and teach her how to be a proper wife when they returned home later!

“I’m not entirely clear about the details of such matters! I only know that my

younger brother did sign the divorce agreement and left without any

belongings!” Roselynn honestly replied, unaware of Jaxton’s thoughts.

Jaxton’s eyes brightened upon hearing this.

“Ah, how can I desqribe Manny? He’s even more foolish than a pig!” Jack

expressed his heartfelt disappointment. “Considering his unfavorable

circumstances, he should have clung to his beautiful and wealthy wife. How

could he get a divorce just like that? Even if he wanted a divorce, he should

have taken a substantial sum of money from her, right? Don’t you all agree?”

Jack looked at Alessandra after directing that question to everyone else in

the family. Meanwhile, the woman’s eyes flickered as she was unsure of how

to respond.

“Jack, are you here to gloat? It’s up to Manny on how he wants his marriage

to go, and it’s none of your business to make such sarcastic remarks!”

Roselynn couldn’t help but retort angrily.

“Rosie, how could you say that?! Manny is truly foolish, so why can’t we

comment on it?”

“Exactly! When did your family become so superior?” Jack and his wife joined

forces and started reprimanding her.

Since Roselynn was at a disadvantage in arguing against the two of them,

she quickly signaled Jaxton with her eyes. Why won’t you come and help your

wife for a moment?

To her surprise, Jaxton not only failed to support her, but he also dragged her

down like an anchor, saying, “Roselynn, they’re right! Emmanuel is indeed as

foolish as a pig, and now he has even committed murder! We should draw

clear boundaries with him quickly!”

Roselynn’s face turned red with fury as she snarled, “Jaxton, how could you

say such a thing?! Let go of me now!”

Alas, he didn’t heed her words. He tightened his hold on her instead of

releasing her, attempting to pull her away. His stubborn male ego took over

thinking that even though he might not be as tall as her, men were ultimately

physically stronger than women. He didn’t believe she could resist him. So, he

didn’t expect her to retaliate by brutally stepping on his foot.

the ground.

“Mom! Mom!” Roselynn hastily rushed to help Alessandra, only to discover

that her mother had suffered a significant fall. Her wrist was already swollen

due to the fall.

“Jaxton, you b*stard! I won’t let you get away with this!” Rage consumed

Roselynn as she pounced on Jaxton, ready to engage in a fight.

On the other hand, Jaxton had kept his true nature hidden for so long, so he

always desired to show his authority over this woman. Thus, he saw this as

the perfect opportunity to display his prowess! Little did he anticipate that

Roselynn possessed far superior abilities than an average woman. Therefore,

she merely had to deliver a forceful knee strike to his lower abdomen,

momentarily incapacitating him.

When Jack’s family witnessed this spectacle, they were left dumbfounded.

Just how pathetic can a man be to not be able to even defeat his own wife?

“F*ck!” Consumed by anger and embarrassment, Jaxton attempted to

stagger to his feet and engage in another physical confrontation with

Jazz World

Roselynn. Unfortunately, at that precise moment, a sudden knock on the door

shattered his momentum.

“Is anyone there? We’re here to deliver a letter!” A voice called from outside.

Letter? Everyone in the room was astonished. What era was this? Who still

sends letters?

Since the door was unlocked and hadn’t been opened after some time, the

person outside decided to give it a try and pushed it open.

Two men dressed in suits stood before them with sharp eyes that exuded a

commanding presence. When they swept their gaze across the crowded

room, the two men confidently stepped inside and got straight to the point,

asking, “We’re delivering a letter on behalf of Emmanuel! Who is his mother?”

“I-I’m the one!” Alessandra was also quite surprised upon hearing that it was

a letter from her son and quickly responded once she came back to her

senses.

The others were equally taken aback. Isn’t Emmanuel in prison for murder?

How is it possible for him to have someone deliver a letter?

Regrettably, when Roselynn inquired about their identities, the two men

simply walked away without a response! They were members of the Wolf

Warrior Society, who were instructed by Eve to assist with the letter delivery

and were not allowed to expose their identity.

Mom, I’m doing well, no need to worry! I’ll be away for some time!

The letter’s contents were brief, but it was clearly written by Emmanuel.

“Mom, that’s wonderful! It appears that Manny is fine!” Roselynn’s cold gaze

fell sharply on Jaxton after consoling Alessandra.

He couldn’t help but tremble under her fiery gaze, overwhelmed by guilt. He

was well aware of Emmanuel’s combat prowess; if Emmanuel hadn’t been

imprisoned and discovered that he had injured his mother, would he be

driven to kill him in a fit of rage?

Since he had already taken a life, so adding one more wouldn’t make a

difference to him, right? The mere thought of it made him feel uneasy!
