A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 609

“Oh, Queenie, is this young man your boyfriend?”

“Right! Did you bring him home for the New Year?”

“He looks quite energetic.”

A group of curious villagers immediately surrounded Queenie and her

boyfriend, eager to learn more about the newcomer. Emmanuel also

assessed the man standing beside her. To be honest, he has an average

appearance, but his attire and demeanor are quite stylish.

Shane quickly whispered to Frederick, “This guy is obviously a show–off. If he

wasn’t afraid of breaking the rules, I think he would even want to flaunt the

price tags on his clothes to everyone.”

Frederick nodded. “Shane, although I did want to stab you earlier, I’m on your

side now. As someone experienced in judging people, I can tell that this guy

is probably nouveau riche. It’s as if he’s constantly afraid that others won’t

recognize his wealth! Such a show–off!”

Shane suddenly looked proud. “Exactly, this kind of person lacks depth, unlike

us!”

Frederick nodded in agreement once again. “That’s right, even though we

may not have money, we have substance. We’re not on the same level as

him, and he can’t hang out with us either.”

“You’re right! I don’t like hanging out with someone like him!”

Unbeknownst to them, everyone’s attention was not focused on their

conversation. Emmanuel could not help but shake his head and chuckle at

their words. These two manage to find ways to feel superior, even without

money.

“Everyone, let me introduce my fiancé, Zaniel Kennedy!” Queenie held the

man next to her and smiled as she introduced him to everyone. “He’s the

Regional General Manager of East Gate Group.”

“Wow, what a young and successful man! He became a general manager at

such a young age?”

“I’ve heard of East Gate. It’s a big corporation!”

“We can’t find such a decent man in our village.”

The group of elderly folks praised Zaniel with admiration.

“Not at all, I’ve achieved a little through hard work, but it’s nothing to be proud

of!” In a humble‘ manner, Zaniel repeatedly downplayed his achievements

and graciously accepted the compliments while secretly enjoying the

atmosphere. He then pulled out a stack of cash envelopes from his pocket

and handed them to everyone, regardless of age or gender.

“Oh my, he’s certainly not lacking in wealth!” Everyone gave him thumbs–up,

and their praises became even more justified.

Finally, the stack of cash envelopes made its way to Emmanuel and his two

friends.

“Tsk, what’s so impressive about being rich? Do you think I don’t have any? I

don’t like befriending people like you.” Although disdainful, Shane was quick to

react. He swiftly pocketed a cash envelope for himself and then handed two

to Emmanuel and Frederick.

Frederick initially considered accepting the money but declined the offer

when Emmanuel refused.

Shane was taken aback and whispered, “If both of you decline, won’t it make

me look spineless?” Without waiting for their response, he swiftly pocketed

the two cash envelopes. “Since that’s the case, I’ll hold onto them for you. Just

let me know when you’ve made up your mind.”

What a cunning and shameless man Shane was!

However, Emmanuel firmly stated, “Shane, return my cash envelope to the

sender! According to tradition, I shouldn’t accept cash envelopes from

anyone once I am married.”

Shane was taken aback. “So, you do have a wife? Are you sure it’s not a

made–up story?”

Emmanuel nodded in response.

At the side, Howard could not help but interject, “Haha. So, you really got

married? I can’t wait to see what kind of celestial beauty your wife is when we RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

pay respects to our ancestors today!” His tone was filled with sarcasm.

In his view, if Emmanuel had married an impressive wife, would he not dare

to bring her out openly? He was convinced that Emmanuel was unable to

afford a substantial dowry, a car, or a house, so he must have settled for an

overweight and unattractive woman. Perhaps she even had disabilities or

intellectual deficiencies.

Emmanuel remained silent, paying no heed to Howard’s remarks. He never

married Mackenzie to seek validation from others or show off. She was his

wife, and he did not require anyone’s approval or validation.

However, Frederick could not tolerate it any longer and retorted fiercely,

“Howard, you preacher. Don’t get too arrogant here! If you were to see

Emmanuel’s wife, I guarantee you would question all your life choices. Who

knows, you might end up divorcing your fiancée within minutes!”
