Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO - Season 3 Episode 30

The tea-tasting event was held at a place named Divine Tea, which was

located in a shopping mall. Because of that, it became a favorite thing to do

for many rich women as they could go shopping after the event.

Meanwhile, Lexi might only be Mackenzie’s personal secretary, but the

Summerton family was actually prestigious. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising for

Lexi to attend the tea–tasting event as she mingled with the other rich

women. Nonetheless, there was an unexpected guest on that particular

Saturday. Although Divine Tea was currently occupied with wealthy and

snobbish women, they were left with their eyes wide open as they stood up in

disbelief the moment they saw a certain someone.

“What’s wrong with you people?” Lexi, who was facing away from the door,

couldn’t help but feel puzzled when she noticed the expressions on the other

ladies‘ faces. Soon enough, her curiosity prompted her to turn around and

find out what was going on, in which a surprised look appeared on her face.

“Ms. Quillen? What brings you here? I remember you haven’t been here for at

least a year.” She quickly walked up to Mackenzie.

In the meantime, Mackenzie–a revered figure in Yeringham–was instantly

surrounded by the ladies around her. Thinking Mackenzie rarely came to an

event like this, they would never give up on the chance to get to know her

better. Nonetheless, she only nodded at those people without showing much

interest in interacting with them.

Although those ladies didn’t know her well, they didn’t find it surprising to see

the pricey jewelry she wore on her, as they believed she could afford them.

As for Lexi, she was too surprised by Mackenzie’s arrival that she didn’t notice

the necklace around the latter’s neck right away when she saw her.

Until Claudette approached them and greeted Mackenzie, “Ms. Quillen, you

look gorgeous today! Is that golden jade phoenix you’re wearing?” It turned

out that Claudette was the owner of Divine Tea, which gave her a

respectable status in that place. Thus, her words had instantly given rise to

audible gasps from the crowd.

“Hey, I recognize that. That was Thomas Cline’s finest piece of art in the

auction last night!”

“Wait, what?! How come Ms. Quillen is wearing it? Could it be that some rich

guy is trying to win her heart or something?”

“It seems to me that she does live up to her reputation as the prettiest

socialite in Yeringham! How charming she is!”

Regardless of the intentions behind those compliments, Lexi immediately

caught on to what Mackenzie was up to, being someone who knew her well.

Ms. Quillen is here to show off, isn’t she? Holy moly! This is unbelievable!

“Guilty as charged, Ms. Lenoir. You’re too kind.” Mackenzie reacted with a

beautiful smile that replaced her initial indifferent expression.

“I have to admit I’m envious of you, Ms. Quillen. I wish I could have a man who

would do that for me!” Claudette smiled as an unfathomable look flashed

across her eyes with a slight hostility.

Mackenzie smiled and said, “You’re a beauty, Ms. Lenoir. I believe there will be

some men out there who will do anything for you, too. The only question is

whether they’re your Mr. Right.”

It was then that the situation began to dawn on Lexi even more. Ah, I see

4/5

what’s going on now. Ms. Quillen didn’t come here just to show off. She is here

to warn somebody. Somebody whom she considers her love rival! The

reason Lexi thought that way was because Claudette was the other person

besides herself who knew that Mackenzie was already married.

Mackenzie knew Claudette would be joining Emmanuel in laser tag later that

afternoon. Since Mackenzie couldn’t keep her husband from going, she went

to the tea–tasting event instead to a*sert her dominance, as if she was

sending out a message to a certain someone not to fool around with her

man.

On the other hand, Claudette was aware of what Mackenzie was up to. As a

woman who was belligerent beneath her tender exterior, her ego wouldn’t

allow her to give up on Emmanuel and admit defeat just because of

Mackenzie’s intimidation.

“Well, you accepted that man’s gift, so does that mean he holds an important

place in your heart?” Claudette’s voice instantly lightened up the atmosphere

around the place.

Everyone in Yeringham knew Mackenzie hardly had any rumors; some even

believed she had no interest in dating a man. Therefore, when Claudette’s

response seemingly implied otherwise, they were all caught by surprise. After

all, if word about that got out, the news would go viral across Yeringham as

well as every other search engine on the Internet.

“I wouldn’t think of it that way, so let’s just say everything is still under my

observation.” Mackenzie refused to admit it.
