A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 

Emmanuel uttered that in a daze. 

“That’s why you risked your life?” asked Mackenzie with 

a frown. 

“Of course. I can’t believe it’s so difficult to bring my 

wife home even after I’m married. I’m such a failure.” 

Emmanuel laughed self–deprecatingly. 

He had read many trending novels about live–in 

sons–in–law, but he found himself more pitiful than 

them. At least those mothers had seen their 

daughters–in–law before. 

Mackenzie sighed inwardly, feeling utterly conflicted. 

“By the way, I’ve negotiated with Mr. Webber. We only 

need to pay them three million, and they’ll get lost. I’ve 

helped Terence Group save two million. The boss will 

praise you, won’t he?” Emmanuel added with a smile. 

Mackenzie’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. So, he 

thinks I work for someone? 

“All right. Stop spouting nonsense. Don’t talk about the 

company’s affairs in public,” Mackenzie warned. She 

then called a taxi and went home with him. 

To her surprise, Emmanuel was so drunk that he fell 

into a deep sleep the moment he got into the car. 

When they arrived at Yociam Residence, Mackenzie 

could not wake him up, no matter how hard she tried. 

“Miss, do you need my help?” 

The driver was a middle–aged man. He had been 

stealing glances at her from the rearview mirror 

throughout the journey. 

To have such a beautiful woman in his taxi was a first 

for him. 

3/7 

Moreover, he was helping her send her unconscious 

partner home. Will I have a chance to take advantage 

of her? My life would be worth living if I could have a 

moment with her. 

Just then, he met Mackenzie’s icy gaze. Her hostile aura. 

was enough to make him shudder. 

“Don’t be nosy if you want to live,” she snapped. That 

ended the driver’s imagination, and he quickly drove 

off after dropping them off. 

Having refused the driver’s offer, Mackenzie had no 

choice but to carry Emmanuel home alone. 

Although she was trained to fight since she was young, 

there was a limit to a woman’s strength. Moreover, no 

ordinary woman could carry someone as heavy as 

Emmanuel. 

It took her considerable effort to help him into the 

elevator. When they arrived at the seventeenth floor, 

Emmanuel staggered and fell, causing Mackenzie to 

fall with him. 

“Ugh. This b*stard!” 

Mackenzie was two times lighter than him, but it was a 

great fall. She grimaced in pain as she lay on the floor. 

She was the eldest daughter of the Quillen family, yet 

she was being pressed to the ground by a man. 

Not only that, but he also reeked of sweat and alcohol. 

As someone particular about cleanliness, it made 

Mackenzie scowl with disgust. 

This is unforgivable! 

On top of that, she did not expect Terence, who was 

waiting in the house, to walk out with a bodyguard 

upon hearing the commotion outside. 

The moment the bodyguard saw the scene in the 

elevator, his jaw dropped. 

Oh my goodness! Are they serious? Isn’t this Ms. 

Mackenzie? She’s being pressed to the ground by a 

man? 

“What are you looking at? Help me lift this guy up!” 

Mackenzie shot the bodyguard a look, making the 

latter scurry over in fright. 

“Don’t help him up!” hollered Terence. 

He was elated. 

After all, he had been worried about Mackenzie’s 

misandry, and she would not let Emmanuel touch her. 

Never did Terence expect to see such an exciting 

scene that night. 

Although Mackenzie did not have a choice, it was still 

her first time being in close contact with a man. 

“Not bad! This is a good start! Continue staying in this 

position.” 

Terence laughed heartily and brought the bodyguard 

away. Let’s not disturb the couple building their 

relationship. 

Mackenzie was livid. 

If that elderly man were not her biological grandfather, 

she would have taught him a lesson. 

In the next second, she shoved Emmanuel away. Still 

feeling angry, she turned around and gave him two 

kicks. 

“How dare you fall asleep? Hmph! You’ll spend the 

night out here!”
