Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 596

Magnus asked with a smile, “Do we have a deadly feud? No, right? Killing me

would only bring endless disasters to you and the Quillen family, and what

benefit would you gain from it?”

Emmanuel was slightly stunned.

Claudette had regained her composure. It was true that he and Magnus

didn’t have a deadly feud.

However, something still felt off.

Magnus continued, “Emmanuel, what Blue Rose said earlier is correct.

Although you possess some intelligence, you are still a brute! You think of the

world too simply. You don’t realize that there is no absolute justice and evil in

this world, nor are there unchanging relationships. You subconsciously treat

me as an enemy, but in reality, we don’t have a deadly feud! On the contrary,

we might even become the closest partners!”

“Partners?”

This word made Emmanuel think he was hearing things and he couldn’t help

but laugh.

He would never lose his sanity to the point where he would join forces with

someone like Magnus!

“Don’t be so quick to refuse,” Magnus said as he saw through Emmanuel’s

thoughts and approached with a somewhat refined smile.

Emmanuel became even more wary.

Was this scion of Zovince not afraid of Emmanuel taking action against him?

What trick did he have up his sleeve?

However, Magnus was not the despicable person Emmanuel had imagined.

He didn’t make any hostile moves. He just walked up to him with a gentle

voice while saying, “Northern Region Wolf Warrior, you should have other

-high–level missions, right? Maybe I can help you with them!”

Emmanuel trembled suddenly as if struck by lightning.

However, he soon frowned in confusion and asked, “Magnús, what nonsense

are you talking about?”

Magnus took a step back and his smilé was still gentlemanly, but his eyes

carried a hint of disdain. He said, “Emmanuel, you’re quite good at acting!

You’ve been professionally trained, but unfortunately, you can’t deceive me!”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Back then, it wasn’t the Quillen

family who bailed you out of the police station. Although I couldn’t find out

which force it was, I am well aware of Casper’s origin! Do you think that I

wouldn’t be able to guess your identity with so many clues?”

Emmanuel was secretly shocked. It seemed that this guy was really clever!

However, no matter how clever he was, speculation was still speculation, and

it couldn’t be used as evidence.

Emmanuel continued to smile and said, “I really don’t know what you’re

talking about.”

Ignoring Emmanuel’s act of playing dumb, Magnus smiled and said in a low

voice, “Tonight was your first appearance in the Quillen residence, right? I can

help you establish yourself in the Quillen family, and even…

“1

He paused for a moment and leaned in closer to Emmanuel’s ear as he

whispered, “Help you eliminate that major figure in Zovince and avenge the

three–year grudge for you and the Wolf Warrior Unit!”

What?!/

Emmanuel’s eyes narrowed, and he was greatly surprised. He didn’t expect

that even after hiding in Yeringham for three years, someone still managed

to find out his identity, and the other party even figured out his top–secret

mission!

It seemed that Magnus had to die!

However, Emmanuel remained calm for the time being and said with a

disdainful smile, “There’s no need. I am the son–in–law of the Quillen family,

-and I will work hard to gain recognition from the Quillen family on my own.

Besides, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. What wolf? I’m not one!”

“Emmanuel, that’s no fun,” Magnus said while spreading his arms. “There’s no

one else here now. I guarantee that our conversation will remain between us.

No third party will know about it. What’s the point of pretending since we all

know what’s going on?”

Of course, there was a point! Emmanuel wouldn’t fall for it and voluntarily

admit his identity even though Magnus said so.

Instead, he feigned ignorance and probed, “I’m curious. What do you want to

gain from me? I’m just a penniless nobody!”

Magnus pushed his glasses and the lenses failed to hide the sharpness in his

eyes.

He saw through Emmanuel’s act of pretending to be ignorant, but still said,

“You indeed don’t have what I want, but the Quillen family does!”

“So, you want to use me to get something from the Quillen family?”

Emmanuel immediately followed up on Magnus‘ words.

“You’re smart!” Magnus praised. “Emmanuel, I must apologize for my previous

actions. You are worthy of being my love rival, although I don’t want you to

be!”

After speaking, he actually bowed ninety degrees in apology to Emmanuel,

putting aside all pride!

Emmanuel felt nothing. He didn’t need Magnus‘ apology.

On the contrary, Magnus‘ sycophancy made him more vigilant!

He wasn’t afraid to be enemies with Magnus, but what was frightening was

that Magnus actually wanted to be friends with him. He must have ulterior

motives.

However, Emmanuel still went along and asked, “What do you want to obtain

from the Quillen family? As far as I know, the Quillen family’s assets are far

from comparable to the Zelinsky family. Even if you consider the entire Quillen

family, the Zelinsky family wouldn’t pay much attention to them, right?”

Although the Quillen family was the richest in Yeringham, there was still quite

a gap between them and the top–tier families in Zovince.

Magnus straightened his body, pushed his black–rimmed glasses again, and

his eyes returned to a calm state. He looked like a bookworm in an instant

and smiled lightly as he said, “You’ve been together with Mackenzie for so

long, but do you really not know the most valuable thing in the Quillen

family?”
