A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2153 They’ll Always Find an Excuse

“What’s going on here?”

“What does Emmanuel have to do with whether she’s getting married or not?”

“Exactly! I heard Emmanuel is Nathan’s master. Could there be some shocking connection between them?”

A wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd.

Xylie turned to Levi and asked, “Is that okay?”

“No, it’s not!” Levi flatly refused. “Whether you will marry Mr. Chapman is your own decision. Why involve another man? Especially at an occasion like this—it’s bound to cause misunderstandings!”

Emmanuel narrowed his eyes. He knew Levi to be a calculating man, not one to speak so bluntly without a hidden agenda. For him to say such a thing aloud–it had to be deliberate.

Is he trying to provoke me?

Xylie’s gaze also shifted to Emmanuel, her eyes full of worry.

Her expression spoke volumes. Emmanuel could tell exactly what she was thinking: she was pleading with him not to act on impulse like he had in the past.

Then her eyes darted to the powerful figures surrounding them. Her subtle gestures conveyed a warning to Emmanuel: these people were all waiting for an opening, ready to pounce at the first sign of weakness.

Emmanuel nodded slightly to show he understood. With a calm smile, he said, “Xylie, speak your mind boldly. Marriage is a decision you should make for yourself.”

Xylie nodded back, her gaze shifting from him to Nathan.

“Mr. Nathan, you’re handsome and outstanding,” she began, her voice steady. “It’s no wonder so many women admire you. I, too, hold you in high regard.”

Her words took the crowd by surprise.

Even Levi hadn’t anticipated this turn. Everyone in the room was well aware of what this marriage alliance symbolized. If the Chapman family aligned themselves with Emmanuel, a marriage alliance with the Tanner family was impossible.

While today’s gathering had other underlying purposes, the prospect of solidifying a union between the two families would have been a perfect outcome–killing two birds with one stone.

But then, Xylie suddenly changed her tone.

“However,” she continued, her voice firm, “I know I’m not worthy of you, Mr. Chapman. That’s why I don’t wish to marry you.”

What?!

The crowd was shocked by her announcement. Gasps and exclamations erupted, leaving many who hadn’t grasped the situation utterly dumbfounded.
