A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2153 They'll Always Find an Excuse

“What's going on here?”

“What does Emmanuel have to do with whether she’s getting married or not?”

“Exactly! | heard Emmanuel is Nathan's master. Could there be sshocking connection between them?”

A wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd.

Xylie turned to Levi and asked, “Is that okay?”

“No, it's not!” Levi flatly refused. “Whether you will marry Mr. Chapman is your own decision. Why involve

another man? Especially at an occasion like this—it’s bound to cause misunderstandings!”

Emmanuel narrowed his eyes. He knew Levi to be a calculating man, not one to speak so bluntly without a

hidden agenda. For him to say such a thing aloud-it had to be deliberate.

Is he trying to provoke me?

Xylie’s gaze also shifted to Emmanuel, her eyes full of worry.

Her expression spoke volumes. Emmanuel could tell exactly what she was thinking: she was pleading with him

not to act on impulse like he had in the past.

Then her eyes darted to the powerful figures surrounding them. Her subtle gestures conveyed a warning to

Emmanuel: these people were all waiting for an opening, ready to pounce at the first sign of weakness.

Emmanuel nodded slightly to show he understood. With a calm smile, he said, “Xylie, speak your mind boldly.

Marriage is a decision you should make for yourself.”

Xylie nodded back, her gaze shifting from him to Nathan.

“Mr. Nathan, you're handsand outstanding,” she began, her voice steady. “It's no wonder so many women

admire you. |, too, hold you in high regard.”

Her words took the crowd by surprise.

Even Levi hadn't anticipated this turn. Everyone in the room was well aware of what this marriage alliance

symbolized. If the Chapman family aligned themselves with Emmanuel, a marriage alliance with the Tanner

family was impossible.

While today’s gathering had other underlying purposes, the prospect of solidifying a union between the two

families would have been a perfect outcome-killing two birds with one stone.

But then, Xylie suddenly changed her tone.

“However,” she continued, her voice firm, “I know I'm not worthy of you, Mr. Chapman. That's why | don’t wish to

marry you.”

What?!

The crowd was shocked by her announcement. Gasps and exclamations erupted, leaving many who hadn't

grasped the situation utterly dumbfounded.

If you don’t want to marry Mr. Nathan, then why did your family cto propose in the first place?

The Zelinsky family had also sent a sizable delegation today, led by none other than Chiara herself.

of Zovince known as “Earth

Standing behind her was Birch, one of the Eight SuprGrand, no

Hammer, along with a team of martial arts experts.

Chiara had been quietly observing from the sidelines, maintaining a low profile. But she was fully aware of what

was likely to unfold today and had been biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to avenge her late

husband.

Xylie’s words had becthe turning point.

Nathan's lips curled into a faint smile. He had always been reluctant to reject women, especially beautiful ones.

However, he knew full well that marrying Xylic wasn’t an option for him. Her statement, therefore, cas a

relief.

But before he could respond, someone in the crowd suddenly pointed a finger at Emmanuel and shouted, “It has

to be this shameless man! He must've seduced his disciple’s fiancee, and that’s why Ms. Tanner is rejecting Mr.

Chapman!”

Ridiculous!

Yet, to everyone's shock, such absurd accusations were immediately echoed by others.

A wave of condemnation against Emmanuel began to swell, gaining momentum like wildfire.

“That's right! Just now, Ms. Tanner wanted to speak with Emmanuel first-there must be something going on

between them!”

“How shameless! This kind of man can’t be tolerated! Ms. Veronica, you can’t let him off so easily!”

“Get rid of Emmanuel! A scoundrel like him doesn’t belong in Zovince!”

The crowd, as though they had been lying in wait, erupted in fury, voices rising in a chorus of indignation. It was

as if the entire scene had been premeditated, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Before Veronica or Emmanuel could react, Ashton-unable to hold back her fiery temper-snapped.

“Stop spouting nonsense-"

But before she could finish her sentence, Emmanuel raised a hand, motioning for her to stay calm. He clearly

had no intention of engaging in a shouting match.

He knew full well that no matter how restrained or low-key he remained, these people would provoke him until

he was forced to act. They were itching to see him lose control.

So, instead of holding back, he took a step forward.

Seeing this, Xylie couldn’t help but tense up and step forward as well, her heart clenched in worry.

She had known from the beginning that today’s so-called marriage proposal was nothing more than a setup by

the Tanner family to orchestrate an attack on Emmanuel. That was why she had tried to speak to him privately

earlier-to warn him and urge him to leave before things escalated.

Unfortunately, her plan hadn't worked, and the moment she had feared was now playing out before her

eyes.

“If they want to pin a cron you, they'll always find excuse,” Emmanuel muttered, his tone dripping

with disdain,

He had no interest in arguing with these people. It would be as pointless as reasoning with fools-a complete

waste of time.

“What exactly do you all want? Say it out loud!” he roared, his voice reverberating like thunder.

The deafening shout silenced the noisy crowd in an instant.

Nathan quickly leaned over to Veronica. He whispered urgently, “Veronica, mobilize our family’s security forces!

If any of these people dare to make a move, suppress them immediately!”

Veronica's expression, however, was grave.

The Chapman family indeed had the power to control the situation, but the consequences of doing so would be

dire.

In fact, she still regretted what had happened last tat the Purestream Club, when they stood up for

Emmanuel by teaching a lesson to that group of privileged young elites. The backlash had been significant,

leaving ripples that were hard to ignore.

The Chapman family’s business revenue had taken a hit, dropping by several percentage points. While their

wealth was vast, no one liked to see money slipping away. And those seemingly ininor percentage points? They

represented losses in the tens of billions.

If they chose to escalate things today and ended up clashing with these powerful elites of Zovince-this tnot

mere heirs but bona fide titans-the fallout would be even harder to bear.

Smack!

Suddenly, a burly middle-aged man slammed the table and stood up, pointing a finger at Emmanuel as he

roared, “Emmanuel Lowe! You broke my son’s hand last time! Today, I'm here to make sure both hands are

crippled!”

The man was an official in the Military Affairs Bureau.

With someone taking the lead, others immediately joined in.

“Emmanuel! I'm going to break your legs to avenge my son!”

“And my son! I'll smash your kidneys for what you did to him!”

your

“You dared to blind my only grandson in one eye? I'm going to gouge out both of yours to even the score!”

One after another, their voices rose, each declaration more venomous than the last. Everyone seemed bent on

exacting their revenge by leaving Emmanuel in ruins.

If they all sought individual retribution for their grievances, even if Emmanuel had nine lives, it wouldn't be

enough to repay them.

“And I'm here for my husband's revenge!”

At that moment, Chiara stood up as well, her teeth clenched in fury.

Her voice silenced the room, commanding everyone's respect. They made way, granting her the floor to speak

uninterrupted.

“You killed my husband” she said coldly, her words carrying the weight of a judge’s gavel. “Today, I'll have your

life in exchange for his!”

The air in the room grew noticeably colder as her statement echoed.
