Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1356 A Trap

After escorting Roselynn to the finest hotel in the Onza’s south district, Emmanuel had originally planned to head to the arena to gather some information. However, as he stepped out of the hotel entrance, he coincidentally spotted a grandfather and granddaughter walking ahead.

The grandfather possessed an air of distinction, clearly not an ordinary individual.

The young woman, in her twenties, was not as strikingly beautiful as Mackenzie and Hattie, but she exuded an elegant and graceful demeanor, unmistakably a refined lady.

As they strolled and conversed, they discussed the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, indicating that they were also a formidable presence in the competition.

“By the way, Grandpa, speaking of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, the Quillen family from Yeringham is participating this time!”

The granddaughter displayed great enthusiasm for the tournament and spoke with confidence, “The Quillen family was the former champion of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown thirty years ago. I wonder how their strength will fare after thirty years of silence. It’s truly exhilarating!”

Emmanuel had not intended to eavesdrop on their conversation and couldn’t help but listen attentively upon hearing them mention the Quillen family.

“That’s right. I have always been intrigued by the Quillen family from Yeringham. They’re a prestigious family in Nuthana. I fail to comprehend why they only applied to join the Chamber of Commerce this year!” The old man drawled out his words.

Upon hearing this, Emmanuel couldn’t help but be curious about the old man’s identity. Could he be someone of importance in the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce?

Unfortunately, the grandfather and granddaughter had exited the hotel and entered a black luxury car.

Emmanuel was not accustomed to eavesdropping. But as he prepared to make his way to the arena, he noticed, someone discreetly tailing the grandfather and granddaughter outside the hotel. He didn’t particularly desire to get involved, but since he was also heading to the arena and happened to be driving, he decided to follow them from a
