Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Love at the Wrong Table

Chapter 2274 In Memoriam: The Parents

Gautier did not act with Aora.

After Aora entered the Chapel of Oros, he first set fire to the small church.

Then, he returned to instruct Miles and some of Teddy’s loyal followers to spread a false rumor that Emmanuel had come to the mountain to kill!

“Mr. Verkade, will this trick really work?”

Miles, though skilled in martial arts, was not particularly bright and could not help asking, “Everyone knows that Emmanuel is still guarding Ethan. He shouldn’t be heading up Divine Mountain until tomorrow morning!”

“Does it matter when he arrives?” Gautier grinned smugly. “We just need to say he has already gone up the mountain to kill. In the minds of the people here, he’s already a demon! A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.”

This was a classic brainwashing technique often used in Westeria–a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.

Miles did not bother questioning whether the method would work; he simply followed Gautier’s orders.

Soon, the news of the fire at the foot of the Chapel of Oros alarmed the other class leaders. One of the Big Four, Master Dalton, led his men to investigate, only to find that the friars in the church had been brutally murdered.

“D*mn it, who did this? We at the Chapel of Oros must find him and ensure justice!” Master Dalton -bellowed.

The members of the chapel were united in their anger. This was the first time in many years that someone had dared to commit murder on their sacred ground, and the victims were their own disciples.

At that moment, cries for help suddenly echoed from the mountain. “Help! Emmanuel Lowe is here to kill!”

“He’s trying to sabotage the meeting tomorrow by taking us out early!”

“Everyone, come quickly! Let’s take down this wolf together!”

The cries were soon accompanied by multiple outbreaks of fighting throughout the chapel grounds.

Master Dalton found himself overwhelmed, just as Gautier had anticipated. He immediately ordered his disciples to summon reinforcements from other areas.

Meanwhile, in the study, Rudy Hebert quickly entered and bowed, reporting, “Mr. Zelinsky, it is said that Emmanuel Lowe has sneaked up the mountain to kill. The elite guards of the study, like those elsewhere, have been temporarily reassigned!”

Ezra, who was reading, calmly set down his book.

After a moment’s contemplation, he instructed, “Rudy, don’t stay outside guarding anymore. Find a place to hide.”

Rudy hesitated for a brief moment, not understanding the reason for the order, but bowed respectfully and
