Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2203 The Family’s Plot

Ezra was always an enigma. Even with his powerful reputation as the mayor of Zovince, his relationship with Yorick was vulnerable.

Even without considering Yorick’s title as the Savage Martial Saint, Ezra was still his brother–in–law, which naturally gave him an authority position.

“Regardless of where Mr. Dotson comes from, you’re still Ezra’s brother–in–law.” Catherine smiled, keenly aware of the importance of keeping things harmonious within the family.

This might have looked like a casual conversation about family and relationships to anyone unaware of their backgrounds.

Yorick, who wasn’t as smooth with words as the others, bluntly interrupted, “No! That hasn’t been the case for years. Freya divorced him a long time ago.”

Ezra responded smoothly, “Freya’s children are still part of the Zelinsky family. I plan on having Freya’s son inherit the Zelinsky legacy, even though she and I aren’t together anymore. He’ll always be your sister’s true son.”

Yorick grew quiet.

He stayed single his whole life, but his bond with his younger sister, Freya, was the strongest, especially since they were so close in age. Because of that, her son always held a special place in his heart.

In the meantime, Catherine cut to the chase. “Mr. Morgan, despite our differing political affiliations, we have a mutual adversary, and our family connections provide a strong basis for cooperation.”

Mason gave a humble smile. “Ms. Zelinsky, just tell me what you need. I never had presidential ambitions. I’m just here to support you all.”

Though Mason’s support was the weakest of the three candidates, the Zelinsky siblings knew better. Mason was essentially a figurehead the Holy Trinity had groomed for decades. His smile of apparent indifference? A clever façade hiding his true ambitions.

It was all part of the game. They wouldn’t consider cooperating unless it was absolutely necessary.

“I wouldn’t call it an order, but I do hope Mr. Morgan can cooperate.” Maintaining a polite but firm tone, Catherine continued, “On New Year’s Day, there’s a ceremony for the president to offer prayer for Chanaea. Ethan will replace Artemis and lead the Chanaea officials to the Chapel of Oros on Divine Mountain.”

She paused momentarily before adding, “Given that access to the mountain will be restricted, as presidential candidates, you and I can bring our bodyguard teams with us.”

Mason understood the implication instantly. “I see. That’s why I invited Yorick to join us. With his help, we can definitely accomplish our goals.”
