Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 35

Those who laughed and enjoyed Emmanuel’s

misfortune earlier felt their cheeks heat up in

embarrassment.

None of them knew that the man who looked shabby

was, in fact, part of the Quillen family.

When did the Quillen family have a man among them?

Milani’s mind had gone blank, while Chase dared not

utter a word.

Even Claudette couldn’t hide her shock. Emmanuel has

joined the Quillen family? Does he work for them? Or

has he become a live–in son–in–law?

confused as he didn’t know who Beatrix was.

Adam hastily explained, “Ms. Beatrix, I am deeply sorry

for my error. I had absolutely no idea that this man

was your personal guest, nor did I know he was a

member of the esteemed Quillen family!”

“If you don’t know anything, why didn’t you check first?

Isn’t it rude to kick someone out after allowing him

entry?”

Beatrix’s retort struck Adam silent.
