Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore
Chapter 1408

Chapter 1408 Plea for Help The impostors exhaled a quiet sigh of relief, grateful that they hadn't provoked a confrontation with Emmanuel earlier; otherwise, they might have been the ones lying on the ground now.

Emmanuel also had no tto deal with them at the moment. He swiftly followed Angela into an exclusive room.

“Mr. Lowe, we hope you can assist the Onza Silverbane family once again!” Upon seeing Emmanuel, Stanley promptly rose to his feet and made his request, leaving the onlookers stunned.

Stanley was the president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, a position of immense prestige. In Nuthana, there was almost nobody who could match him. Yet, here he was, bowing to solicit assistance from a relatively unknown young man. The juxtaposition was nothing short of shocking.

Emmanuel grasped the essence of their request but still asked for clarity. “Old Mr. Silverbane, please state your request plainly.” “Alright!” Stanley didn’t beat around the bush. He explained, “The Onza Silverbane family must secure a victory tonight.

Failure would spell disaster not only for us but for the entire Nuthana Chamber of Commerce.” “Oh?” Emmanuel simply responded, appearing as though he did not fully comprehend the situation.

Stanley then elaborated, “Mr. Lowe, you may not know, but the Eshal Silverbane family has always coveted the presidency. However, my eldest son, Blaze, and his family are ambitious and even unscrupulous. If they were to succeed, the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce would undoubtedly descend into corruption, ensnared in the darkness of greed and deceit like the other major chambers of commerce.” Emmanuel nodded in understanding. “So, you are plankdy to pass the presidency to the Onza Silverbane family?” “Exactly!” Stanley, despite enduring a myriad of trials and tribulations, now couldn't conceal a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

“Apart from wealth and power, it's strength that garners genuine recognition from the chamber of commerce.

Reputation, in fact, rests upon these three pillars.

“The foundation of the Onza Silverbane family is not as strong as that of the Eshal Silverbane family. If we were defeated tonight, Blaze and his family may pressureinto relinquishing the presidency to them.” Emmanuel nodded, empathizing with Stanley's predicament. He could roughly gauge the caliber of the Eshal Silverbane family from Blaze Silverbane’s behavior.

Yet he still inquired, “Old Mr. Silverbane, you're askingto represent the Onza Silverbane family and secure victory tonight?” “Exactly!” Angela interjected, “Mr. Lowe, don’t you also want to save Beatrix? If you assist the Onza Silverbane family in winning the championship tonight, she will regain her freedom, isn’t it?” “I wish for that.” Emmanuel got straight to the point. “However, rules govern this world. Personal valor often leads to trouble. As a participant representing the Quillen family, I cannot represent your family.” Anticipating his response, Angela’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. Rather than addressing how he could resolve the issue directly, she dismissed everyone else in the room, leaving only the three of them.

With a smile, Angela proposed, “Mr. Lowe, you're right to be concerned. Rules govern this world, and heroism is no longer in vogue. Even the national leaders must be elected through various legal procedures to obtain corresponding power. So tonight, let's exploit the loopholes in the rules together!” tonight, Blaze and his family may pressuremo temquiomy die presidency to them.

Even the national leaders must be elected through various legal procedures to obtain corresponding power. So tonight, let's exploit the loopholes in the rules together!” “Ms. Silverbane, what do you mean by that?” Emmanuel inquired, furrowing his brow.

Tonight, his sole mission here was to rescue Beatrix, and he had been pondering various strategies to achieve that goal. Initially, he had pinned his hopes on Shane's prowess, believing he had a chance to win the championship. However, witnessing the victory of the skinny challenger who defeated Johnwick moments ago made him realize he could no longer rely on Shane.

However, participating in the competition would inevitably impact the Quillen family and should only be considered as a last resort. Therefore, if Angela could cup with a solution that effectively addressed two concerns at once, he would gladly cooperate.

Handing him a badge labeled “Onza Silverbane,” Angela explained with a smile, “This badge represents a privilege that the rules grant to prominent families like ours. If we have fewer than two qualifiers, we are entitled to appoint an additional expert for the free-for-all tournament. With this badge, you can represent the Onza Silverbane family in battle at any ttonight.” Emmanuel was slightly surprised. While he was aware of the privilege granted to prominent families, Angela's decision to do so still caught him off guard.
