A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

X Love At The 1898 Chapter 1898 The Verkade Sch"Claudette, what's wrong? Please, say something!" Laura's voice trembled with desperation as she gripped Claudette's hand tightly, but her daughter remained as still and unresponsive as a porcelain doll.

"Manuel, what happened to my sister?" Elizabeth asked anxiously.

"She was brainwashed and deeply hypnotized," Emmanuel explained gravely. "I killed the person who had control over her, but now she's like a robot." The revelation hit like a thunderbolt. Laura and Elizabeth broke down in tears, their sobs echoing through the room. Even Felicity, who had been trying to hold herself together, couldn't contain her grief. As she wept, a bittersweet thought crossed her mind-if only Sarah could have been as fortunate as Claudette, alive even if not fully herself. Just to see Sarah again would have been enough to soothe her aching heart.

Suddenly, a booming voice shattered the somber mood. "Hey, why are you all crying? It's not like Claudette can't wake up!" Quintus barged into the room, 5...

Chapter 1898 The Verkade Schhis usual bravado on full display.

Elizabeth, momentarily distracted from her sorrow, looked up at her brother with surprise. "Quintus, you're still alive?" # "What's that supposed to mean?" Quintus retorted, feigning offense. "You cry when you see your sister alive, but you laugh when you see your brother? Am I a clown or something?" His self-deprecating humor brought reluctant smiles to Emmanuel and Mackenzie's faces.

This guy, for the first time, had such a clear understanding of himself! "Don't worry," Emmanuel assured them. "I've already sent someone to Yociam Residence to retrieve my medical books. I'll find a way to break Claudette's hypnosis, and she'll return to normal. As for whether her old memories will cback, that's up to fate." Laura nodded, a whirlwind of emotions playing across her face. As she looked at her once vibrant daughter, now so changed, a secret hope took root in her heart. With Emmanuel and Mackenzie expecting a child, it would be better if Chapter 1898 The Verkade SchClaudette never regained her memories. She could find happiness with another man and start a fresh chapter in her life. How else could Claudette ever compete with Mackenzie? Quintus, ever ready with a jest, chimed in, “Aunt Laura, did you hear that? My brother-in-law here is really responsible!" He turned to Mackenzie with a mischievous grin. "I'll treat you just as well, following his example!" She rolled her eyes in exasperation. Here she was, heavily pregnant with Emmanuel's child, and Quintus still wouldn't give up his flirtatious antics. Oh, con, enough already! "Ms. Lenoir," Emmanuel's tone becserious as he addressed Laura. "You bear the surnVerkade. Do you know what role the Verkade family played in the Quillen family massacre?" Laura visibly flinched, her face paling as she quickly shook her head. "Emmanuel, you addressas Ms. Lenoir because I've been married out of the Verkade family. I don't involve myself in their affairs anymore." Her voice trembled slightly as she continued, "Are you saying that the Verkade family 08:54 Fri, Chapter 1898 The Verkade Schwas involved in the Quillen family massacre?" "Exactly," Emmanuel confirmed bluntly. Even Laura, the daughter of the family, said so, which meant most people would have such suspicions in this situation.

Desperate to distance herself from the accusations, Laura quickly offered information. "I swear, I had nothing to do with it. But I can tell you this. In a few days, the Verkade family will be hosting a business event in Yeringham. They're trying to rally the major families in Nuthana to support William as the Chairman of the Nuthana Chamber of Comce. You can confront him directly there." "What makes him think he can pull that off?" Mackenzie's expression turned icy, her voice laced with disdain.

"Mackenzie, you might not be aware, but since you and Old Mr. Quillen have been away, William has bought off most of Terence Group's executives and shareholders. They're all backing him taking over as chairman of Terence

Group. There's even talk of renaming the group!" Laura revealed, her voice G Similar Search Topics for necklaces for women Sponsored: Search Ads Chapter 1899 The Verkade Sch

tinged with frustration. "William's goal with this eventys to make it clear to everyone in Nuthana that he's the one taking control of Terence Group, and everything tied to the Quillen family." Mackenzie's eyes flashed with anger, her fury palpable.

"He won't succeed!" Emmanuel declared firmly, his jaw set with determination. However, he kept his plans to himself, still not fully trusting Laura. Then, he made a request that was more of a command. "Ms. Lenoir,

since you're here, I'd like you to stay and help care for Claudette for a e while." "Of course, Laura agreed, understanding the unspoken reason behind Emmanuel's request. He didn't want her tipping off William, giving him a chance to escape. Yet, Laura couldn't help but find it amusing that Emmanuel underestimated the Verkade family's greed.
