A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617 

The young people came to the church to worship the old godfather during 

the New Year. It was a custom in the Hero’s Village. The open space in front of 

the church was prepared specifically for them. Therefore, Terence, 

Alessandra, and Alfred did not enter the area designated for the youngsters. 

Instead, they chatted with other villagers on the side. 

When Queenie saw Emmanuel and his wife enter the open space, shè 

immediately walked over with a smile. “Emmanuel, is this your wife? She truly 

lives up to the rumors, so beautiful that it makes others feel ashamed!” After 

she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and giggled. 

Mackenzie, however, did not laugh and remained cold as usual. Although 

Queenie’s hostile gaze disappeared in an instant, she believed she was not 

mistaken. Is it possible this woman has some special relationship with 

Emmanuel? Otherwise, why would she be hostile toward me? 

“Yes, you’re right.” Emmanuel nodded. In the presence of others, he would not 

boast about marrying Mackenzie, but inexplicably, he felt a sense of fortune 

having her by his side in Queenie’s presence. 

“Hello, I’m Queenie! Emmanuel’s longtime childhood friend. He even 

pretended to be my groom and held me when we were kids. But 

unfortunately, when we grew up, he chose another bride. Maybe I wasn’t 

pretty enough…” She reached out to Mackenzie and added a 

self–deprecating remark. 

Mackenzie, however, looked at her coldly and showed no intention of shaking 

hands. As for Zaniel next to Queenie, she did not even glance at him from 

beginning to end. That was just her personality–she had no reason to waste 

time looking at or acknowledging strangers irrelevant to her. 

Queenie felt awkward and turned to Emmanuel, jokingly complaining, 

“Emmanuel, your wife seems quite cool. Not very easy to get along with, 

こ 

huh?” 

Before he could answer, Mackenzie sneered. “There’s no need for you to get 

along with me. What difference does it make if I’m cold or not?” 

“Well…” Queenie immediately looked aggrieved and embarrassed. 

Some of the villagers could not help but speak up in her defense. 

“Queenie took the initiative to talk to her in a friendly manner, but Emmanuel’s 

wife doesn’t seem to understand courtesy.” 

“She may be beautiful, but a wife should adhere to the principles of 

obedience and virtue. Such a wife isn’t desirable!” 

“I wonder how he manages to deal with her. Maybe he married into the 

family and can’t speak up when his wife bullies him at home!” 

“If that’s the case, what’s the point of marrying a goddess?” 

Hearing these comments, Alessandra suddenly felt uncomfortable. Initially, 

Mackenzie’s arrival at the Hero’s Village was a moment of great joy and 

excitement for her, but now, that feeling had been diluted. 

As these comments were not directed to their faces and were in a chaotic 

state, Emmanuel was unable to respond to those individuals despite 

overhearing them. He simply held Mackenzie’s hand and said gently, “Don’t 

mind them, Mackenzie.” 

She replied nonchalantly, “As long as you don’t mind, I don’t care.” 

She had no further dealings with these people after leaving Hero’s Village, so 

why would she care? Besides, it was true that she was not easy to get along 

with; that was something known throughout Yeringham, and there was no 

need to explain or hide it. 

“Pfft! So, you’re just a parasite, a kept–man!” Howard, who had been silent like 

a quail, finally spoke with a disdainful expression. After being treated poorly 

at Emmanuel’s home and fleeing, he finally found an opportunity to attack 

Emmanuel.
