Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2075 "Buried in the lake?" Mackenzie's soft conclusion sparked gasps of surprise from everyone around, their faces reflecting shock.

"But, Your Holiness, we searched the lake a whole day and didn't find anything!" Falcon hurried over, voicing his skepticism.

20% "Exactly!" Anna confirmed. "We split up and searched multiple areas, covering a radius of about 300 yards from the shore, but found absolutely nothing!" Quintus frowned, joining in, "If that's the case, maybe Mackenzie's guess is off.

I mean, a truck plunging into the lake shouldn't have been able to go that far!" The group nodded in agreement, but Mackenzie remained steadfast, even 16:45 Mon, 30 Dec MO Chapter 2075 Mackenzie's Intelligence 20% giving Quintus an eye roll. “It's one thing if folks out in the Dark Night Islands skipped their physics classes, but didn't you receive higher education in Yeringham?" 0 "I... Uh..." Quintus stammered, momentarily at a loss.

Lexi, on the other hand, immediately caught on. "I get it, Ms. Quillen!" she gasped. "You're saying they drove up the hill, then accelerated toward the lake, using the height and momentum to launch the trucks far out into the deeper part of the lake, right?" Smack! Quintus clapped his hands. “Why didn't I think of that? You're a genius, Mackenzie!" 16:45 Mon, 30 Dec M Chapte#2075 Mackenzie's Intelligence The others exchanged looks of astonishment, realizing they'd missed this possibility entirely.

But, Your Holiness, the hill nearest the lake doesn't seem very tall," Rhett asked, voicing another doubt.

20% Mackenzie smiled. "The trick isn't in how close the hill is to the lake but in how high it is. Watch!" She picked up a long stick and sketched on the ground. “If the trucks were at top speed and the hill had the right incline-say, around 45°-the trajectory would allow them to travel quite a distance." As they watched her sketch out the physics involved, the group collectively took a sharp breath, clearly impressed.

"D*mn, knowledge is power!" Quintus muttered, awestruck.

16:45 Mon, 30 Dec M& Chapter 2075 Mackenzie's Intelligence 20% Mackenzie continued, "Only the base of the hill has visible tire tracks because the recent heavy snowfall caused snow to roll down, covering any other traces. After the trucks plunged into the lake, a skilled fighter likely damaged arts of the hill, obscuring any remaining signs. Since the tracks stopped so far from the lake, no one suspected the trucks had vanished this way!" Congratulations on obtaining Rs 1888 Everyone's eyes lit up as her explanation cleared the fog in their minds. Mackenzie added, "Since the trucks didn't enter directly from the lake's edge, there were no marks along the shore. No one would've thought to search for them on the lakebed! Even Falcon and Anna, who checked the lake, would've 16:45 Mon, 30 Dec 0 Chapter 2075 Mackenzie's Intelligence 20% only explored the shallow edges. Now, in this cold season, it'd be impossible for even highly skilled fighters to swim that far without boats or proper equipment! And there's another complication: the lake is connected to the ea and has a current. The longer we wait, the farther the supplies might drift, and there's a chance they could end up lost in the sea." The group tensed up at this revelation.

Out of nowhere, Anthony the Crybaby popped up, wailing, "Oh no! Ms. Quillen, you've got to get those supplies out, or we'll never be able to explain things to the media and the whole country!" "The adults are talking; go cry somewhere else!" Quintus snapped, impatiently shoving the whining Anthony aside.

16:45 Mon, 30 Dec M Chapter 2075 Mackenzie's Intelligence Mackenzie ignored the chatter and issued her orders. "Quintus, take a team and spread out. Those bandits wouldn't just toss away something so valuable; they're bound to have plans to retrieve it. They might be holding off ecause they've spotted our people nearby." Realization dawned on the group again.

"Your Holiness, you're honestly the smartest woman I've ever met!" Rhett couldn't help but marvel. Mackenzie's ability to deduce that the supplies were in the lake went beyond typical thinking. Instead of focusing on searching the lake itself, her logic extended to what the bandits might use nearby-it was a perspective few could grasp.

Mackenzie, however, didn't show any pride. "Let's save the compliments until we actually recover those supplies! Rhett, cwithto the lake." L 6/11 16:45 Mon, 30 Dec M Chapter 2075 Mackenzie's Intelligence "Right away, Your Holiness!" Rhett led Anna and a few others to guard Mackenzie as she approached the lake. Meanwhile, the rest of the team followed Quintus, spreading out to search along the hillside.

Lexi was assigned to bring in salvage boats and equipment, just in case Quintus' team couldn't locate anything on-site. And just as Mackenzie had anticipated, not long after they began examining the lakefront, they received a call from Quintus.

"Mackenzie, you're unbelievable!" Quintus' voice buzzed with excitement. "We barely made it to the base of the hill and found boats and a full set of salvage tools stashed in a lakeside estate! These folks were armed-and definitely shady-but we managed to drive them off and seize their gear!" "That's fantastic!" Anna, who had stayed close to Mackenzie, could hardly 16:45 Mon, 30 Dec Maj Chapte 2075 Mackenzie's Intelligence contain her excitement. She turned to Mackenzie with admiration, saying, "Your Holiness, you and the commander make an unstoppable team!" hett nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Their preparation proves your calculations were spot on!" Anthony and the others gave Mackenzie a thumbs-up, realizing this was why, at barely thirty, she had earned her place as the Chairwoman of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce.

Congratulations on obtaining Rs 1888 Everyone began to relax, assuming the lost supplies would soon be 16:45 Mon, 30 Dec M Chapter 2075 Mackenzie's Intelligence recovered. But Mackenzie tempered their optimism. "Don't celebrate just yet.

This lake is huge, and it's got a current. Even with boats and equipment, there's no guarantee we'll be able to retrieve everything." Another concern nagged at her-the deadline was approaching; she couldn't afford to lose her reputation.

By the tthe boats and equipment were transported to the lake, night had fallen. Despite the Wolf Warrior Unit's endurance, strengthened to withstand the cold, the sheer size and depth of the lake, combined with the pitch-black water, made the task a grueling one.

"Ms. Quillen, you're not like them. You're not trained to withstand these

conditions. With this snow and wind outside, you should rest in the tent," Lexi pleaded, worried for Mackenzie.

"Yes, Your Holiness, your health is important; we can'tyisk you getting sick Rhett added, "Leave the salvage operation toand Quintus. We'll see it through." 20%

"Thank you, all of you!" Mackenzie's eyes softened, a hint of emotion in her The done a hint is on novelenglish.net! gaze as she smiled. "No matter the outcome, it's my honor to have so many of you who not only supportbut are willing to put everything on the line. The group responded with warm smiles of their own.

Lexi placed a heavy coat over Mackenzie's shoulders, grinning. "Save the speeches, Ms. Quillen! Motherhood's made you sentimental and emotional, hasn't it?" With that, she gently but firmly guided Mackenzie back to the tent to rest.
