A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688 

After Noah attacked Jacob, he closed his eyes in frustration as he tried to 

restrain a snarl from forming on his face. At this point, he had no idea what to 

do with this situation and definitely couldn’t come up with a way to salvage 

this mess. Although he knew that the Zimmerman family was no match for 

his family, he was still in the wrong for venting his anger at Jacob. 

Just then, Ignacio came over with a group of people and asked with a frown, 

“What’s going on?” 

Noah hastily approached him and frantically recounted what happened in 

hushed tones. 

Ignacio furrowed his brows upon hearing Noah’s tale. He was currently trying 

to partner with the Quillen family in the energy business, so he couldn’t allow 

the Zimmerman family to ruin his plan at such a critical moment. If the 

Quillens decided to vent their anger on him, he would be doomed. 

So, he considered things for a moment before finally announcing, “I’m sorry. 

There’s been a misunderstanding today because both families haven’t 

Meanwhile, Milani stood dazedly as if she was a mere audience to this 

doomed wedding and not the bride herself. She understood that her 

wedding was ruined because she had offended Mackenzie. Nonetheless, she 

was also smart enough to understand she was nothing compared to 

Mackenzie. So, she didn’t dare to vent her fury on the other woman. Thus, she 

shoved all the blame on Emmanuel for her misfortune instead. 

That good–for–nothing is definitely resentful of me because I refused to 

marry him back then. Now that he’s married to a wealthy woman, he’s 

determined to retaliate and rip up any possibility of me marrying well! 

Milani gritted her teeth and balled up her fists as she thought viciously, Just 

you wait, Emmanuel! I’ll do everything in my power to destroy you! 

In the meantime, Emmanuel was utterly oblivious to the havoc that was 

Milani’s wedding as he drove the Maserati, fully focused on sending 

Mackenzie home. Alas, the moment he got out of the vehicle, he was assailed 

by sneezes, and his eyelids twitched repeatedly. 

Mackenzie asked in concern upon noticing his condition, “What’s wrong?” 

“It’s nothing. Perhaps I’ve caught a cold,” Emmanuel replied with a smile. He 

had a healthy physique, so he was rarely sick. Besides, he didn’t even catch a 

cold after a night’s sleep outside when he was chased out of the home by 

Mackenzie previously. So, this odd reaction was rather strange. What is up 

with me today? 

Mackenzie didn’t pester him further, but she couldn’t help but feel a bad 

premonition rising in her heart. She wasn’t a superstitious woman, but she 

had dabbled in metaphysics. After all, science couldn’t explain some of the 

out–of–the–world phenomena in life. 

Nonetheless, they soon left the parking lot. Just as they were ready to go 

home, three people approached them out of the blue. 

The woman in front sported a ponytail. She was smartly dressed as she was 

clad in uniform and a pair of black leather boots. She was around 

five–foot–seven, and her gaze was sharp as her eyes landed on them. 

The two men behind her were wearing dark blue uniforms. 

Emmanuel and Mackenzie furrowed their brows at the sight. They had a 

feeling as to just why those people had approached them. 

“We’re from the Criminal Investigation Department, and this is my police ID.” 

Once she had shown them her ID, the woman said to Emmanuel icily, “We 

have reasons to suspect that you have been involved in two murder cases. 

Please come with us.” 

The instant the last sentence fell from her lips, the men behind her bristled, 

showing that they were more than ready to arrest Emmanuel through brute 

force.
