A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 

“Mr. Webber, I know you and your friends need the 

income, but these are two different matters. Terence 

Group shouldn’t be the one paying for this.” 

The veins on Samuel’s head popped when he heard 

that. 

Just then, Emmanuel suddenly said, “However, our 

boss empathizes with you and is willing to pay three 

million to be friends with all of you.” 

“W–What-” 

Samuel’s pupils dilated. He was moved by what he 

heard. 

Even his subordinates exchanged glances delightedly. They never expected the boss of Terence Group to be 

so particular. 

Alas, they were blissfully unaware Emmanuel had 

secretly reduced their payment. In fact, they were 

gladly calling Emmanuel their friend. 

It was a typical scenario of being grateful to someone 

who betrayed them. 

“Very well. We shall be friends with Terence Group. 

Come on! Let’s have a toast!” 

Samuel gave Emmanuel a toast. It was clear the 

former had submitted himself to Emmanuel. 

“Cheers!” 

As a former soldier, Emmanuel had no fear of hard 

liquor. 

At the same time, Samuel’s subordinates were loyal 

people. Seeing how generous Emmanuel was, they 

toasted and praised him for being a good person. 

Samuel grew wary as he watched Emmanuel down 

glass after glass of hard liquor with no problem. 

This man’s not someone to be trifled with. We can only 

be friends, never enemies. 

Half an hour later, Mackenzie finally arrived at The 

Paradise and quickly got out of the car. 

Four professional bodyguards followed behind her. 

Her gaze was piercing, and her aura was domineering. 

When the men outside the nightclub caught sight of 

the beautiful woman with her entourage, they cleared 

a path and only watched her enter the building. 

She was a beauty with great power. 

Nonetheless, Mackenzie did not bother glancing at the 

bystanders and walked straight into the nightclub. 

She had never been so worried about someone, let 

alone a man. Even she found the situation 

unbelievable. 

Similarly, it was the bodyguards‘ first time seeing their 

indifferent CEO behaving like that. They could not help 

but wonder who she was there to save. 

In the next second, Mackenzie halted in her tracks and 

fixed her eyes on the two men exiting the entrance. 

Emmanuel had his arm across Sheldon’s shoulder and 

a cigarette in his mouth. He was even having trouble 

walking straight.

In the next second, Mackenzie halted in her tracks and fixed her eyes on the two men exiting the entrance. 

Emmanuel had his arm across Sheldon’s shoulder and 

a cigarette in his mouth. He was even having trouble 

walking straight. 

4/8 

Not only was he injured, but he also drank over twenty 

glasses of imported wine that had sixty percent 

alcohol. Thus, it was only normal that he was walking 

like that. 

Sheldon was taken aback when he saw the beautiful 

woman with slender legs standing before him. He 

could neither tear his eyes away from her nor budge 

an inch the moment he saw her face. 

Never did he expect to find someone more beautiful 

than Elena. 

When Emmanuel saw Sheldon suddenly stop in his 

tracks, he slowly looked up and noticed Mackenzie’s 

presence. He shuddered and sobered up a little. 

The two said nothing and merely stared at each other 

in silence. 

Although Sheldon was clueless about their 

relationship, he could read the room. Immediately, he 

backed away. 

In the meantime, the four bodyguards dared not 

approach without Mackenzie’s order. 

Suddenly, Emmanuel lost his balance. 

Mackenzie instinctively rushed forward to help him up. 

That was when she felt the warmth of his body. 

At the same time, her nose picked up the stench of 

• blood. 

He fought with others again. 

“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Mackenzie chided, her 

brows knitted together. A bitter feeling crept into her 

heart.

“Am I not fine now?” Emmanuel laughed out loud as 

relief washed over him. 

Mackenzie could not help but sigh at the state he was 

1. in. I honestly don’t know what to do with him. I was just 

speaking mindlessly. I can’t believe he actually went to 

such lengths because of what I said. 

The four bodyguards were absolutely confounded 

after witnessing their CEO holding Emmanuel up. 

They knew about Mackenzie’s misandry, and she rarely 

shook hands with men. Hence, the sight of her holding 

up a man with one hand was a strange occurrence to 

them. 

Not only that, but Mackenzie even threw them a look, indicating for them to leave the next second.

She still did not want Emmanuel to find out her real 

identity. 

“Remember what you promised me. Once the project 

is a success, we have to go home to see my mom.”
