Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2150 Promotion and Wealth at the Cost of Losing One’s Wife!

Ken had already guessed why Aora had come, so he purposely said that.

He knew that whatever Aora wanted him to do was hard Deep down, he still preferred to stay out of trouble. Why be involved when I can relax, enjoy my position, and collect my salary and benefits? That’s what a smart man will do.

Aora saw through Ken’s thoughts and sneered. “You’re truly no more than nothing if you want to help Mackenzie! However, Ms. Tanner will ensure you receive greater rewards once Mackenzie is eliminated if you help us!”

“I…” Ken hesitated, feigning difficulty.

He wasn’t stupid. The Five Poison Sect was already at a significant disadvantage. Against Mackenzie’s cutting–edge weaponry and tactics, their only option was to hide like frightened mice.

Hence, helping the Five Poison, Sect was a thankless task. Winning was uncertain, and even if they managed to win by some miracle, his reputation in the West End would be ruined, and he’d lose his position if it came to light that he had collaborated with them.

Benefits from Aora were nothing to him.

Yet, Aora wasn’t in a hurry as he knew he could keep increasing the stakes.

Aora offered with a sly smile. “What if Ms. Tanner seizes the Quillen family’s fortune and gives it all to you?”

This offer caught Ken’s attention and his eyes lit up. The Quillen family’s assets likely totaled billions–far greater than his own fortune.

Still, he replied, “Envoy Aora, you flatter me. Besides, wealth is just a worldly possession. You can’t take it with you when you die. So, what’s the point of having so much money?”

“Then what do you desire?” Aora pressed him.

Ken hesitated again, unwilling to reveal his thoughts.

Seeing his wavering stance, Aora upped the ante. “Mackenzie is the unparalleled beauty of the Nuthana. If the Five Poison Sect wins, you’ll have the privilege of dealing with her however you please. How about- that?”

“What?” Ken was visibly shocked, instinctively straightening as he glanced nervously at his wife.

Lenore’s eyes flared as she glared at him. “What are you thinking? What do you want to do?”
