Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1997

Sonia and Raina, along with the other women present, had never before

faced such a terrifying scene. Both women trembled uncontrollably, clinging

to their fathers for protection, their bodies racked with fear. Denis and Jake,

though brave by nature, found their foreheads slick with cold sweat in the

trusted allies of Mr. Gwain and me!” Yuna’s voice rang out from her elevated

position, swaying the crowd with each word.

“For Yuna, we will slay Emmanuel!” a voice echoed in response.

“Kill him!” the rallying cry surged through the crowd.

Mr. Maye and his cohorts, fully aware that they stood no chance against

Emmanuel in a one–on–one fight, relied instead on their overwhelming

numbers to create a spectacle of intimidation. Their goal was to break the

spirit of Emmanuel and his companions before the battle even began. The

presence of three skilled fighters on Gwain’s side further bolstered their

confidence.

Yet Emmanuel remained unaffected, his expression calm and detached as
