Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1446 The Mercurial Nature of Humanity Chapter 1446 In the blink of an eye, Susan appeared out of nowhere and tightly embraced Gautier, bubbling with excitement.

‘As Emmanuel watched Gautier leave, a hint of emotion stirred within him. It reminded him that in the business world, friendships and rivalries are never permanent.

In the depths of his mind, Emmanuel silently reasoned. Regardless of what Gautier might be thinking, he should be leaning towards the Terence Group now. After all, with the Quillen family falling, there is no advantage left for the Verkade family. If the Quillen family thrives, perhaps the Verkade family can still benefit, or they may have a chance to make a comeback! “Hey, Emmanuel, where have you been?” As Emmanuel returned, his uncle's family had already arrived, and Jack Lowe was teasing him.

“Sorry, | just got caught up with something,” Emmanuel responded casually.

1/6 10:05 Mon, Apr 15 Chapter 1446 The Mercurial Nature of Humanity Emmanuel pondered silently. No matter how look at it, Jack's family does not seem to be the conniving type. But could they be bribed by someone to infiltrate us? “Forget it. Let's grab a bite to eat! | am hungry!” Jack waved his hand, ready to lead the group straight to dinner.

Emmanuel then noticed that Jack's wife, Alina Mcneil, and her family were also accompanying Jack's family to Onza.

Alina leaned into Jack, holding his arm affectionately. ‘Honey, my parents rarely visit Onza. You must take them out for sgood food! “Of course, your husband is loaded now! Anything less than a five-star restaurant, and will not even feel at home!” Jack boasted in his usual laid-back manner.

Alina, always one to enjoy the spotlight, quickly turned to her family and said, “Dad, Mom, Cherlynn, look, my husband is really great!” 216 10:05 Mon, Apr 15 Chapter 1446 The Mercurial Nature of Humanity The Mcneil family began praising Jack enthusiastically. “Yeah, Jack is really up-and-coming!” “My brother-in-law is amazing,” one person said. “He runs his own company and dines at five-star restaurants every day. It is impressive!” The Mcneils, rural folks who seldom ventured into big cities, hardly ever dined at five-star restaurants. Consequently, they held great admiration for individuals like Jack.

Basking in the compliments, Jack's ego swelled, and he confidently waved his hand.

“Let's go. | heard there is a five-star restaurant nearby called The Shallow Waterside Chef's Kitchen, which is very famous in Nuthana. Today, | will take you all there to try it!" As Jack and Alina led the way, the members of the McNeil family quickly followed behind.

“Emmanuel, why don’t we all go together?” Alessandra suggested, feeling that since 316 10:05 Mon, Apr 15 Chapter 1446 The Mercurial Nature of Humanity they were relatives and had cto Onza together, splitting up for dinner would feel awkward.

ti “Sure! Mom, | will give you all a ride there!” Emmanuel agreed, realizing he rarely had the chance to take Alessandra to upscale restaurants. So, he wanted to seize this opportunity to show his filial duty.

Tia also urged Ryder to join them in Emmanuel’s business car.

Alina’s sister, Cherlynn McNeil, turned back to Emmanuel and the others, her brows furrowed as she asked, “Jack, are they your relatives?” The Ryder family, as well as Emmanuel’'s mother and himself, were not very partic about their clothes. Especially Ryder and Alessandra, they looked like two old faappearing quite shabby! “Hey, Cherlynn, haven't you met them before? Jack said casually. “That's the family of AR 10:05 Mon, Apr 15 Chapter 1446 The Mercurial Nature of Humanity my older cousin and second older cousin.” Cherlynn sneered at Emmanuel’s family. “Hmm, | have met them before, but they don’t

leave much of an impression, especially since they seem like just ordinary people.

car is not impressive either. If they were as successful as you Jack, then people Wold.remember them!” she did not miss the opportunity to flatter Jack with a resounding compliment.

Jack was quite pleased with Cherlynn’s flattery. “Haha, indeed! Indeed!” Jack had always been fond of Alina, and in the past, he did not pay much attention to Cherlynn when she was younger. But now that Cherlynn was nineteen, starting college, and showing such affection for him, he could not help but entertain sinappe thoughts about her.

This meal is the perfect chance to impress Cherlynn even more and maybe even make her initiate something with me. Jack secretly feels pleased about it.

The Mercurial Nature of Humanity While Ryder and Alessandra could not hear their conversation, Emmanuel had keen senses and overheard everything.

Naturally, he felt a bit displeased.

Why bother stepping on and critizing ach other .when we are all family? And what is wrong with being farmers? Without farmers, where does our food cfrom? Cherlynn’s disdainful attitude did not sit well with Emmanuel.

Emmanuel had opted for the business car today since the Maserati could not comfortably accommodate everyone, but he had not anticipated being looked down upon by them as a result.
