Ch. 1041..1050

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1041-Good thing I found him!

It seems that I have to establish a good relationship with him in the future. Otherwise, I will end up like Patrick, getting fired after working for a few days.

“Haha, just asking casually. Anyway, if you encounter any problems in the company in the future, feel free to report them to me. You don’t have to be in a hurry to inform your senior.” Henry laughed.

Shane nodded in confusion, thinking that this company was treating him too well. Especially Henry. Even though he accidentally bumped into him, not only was he not mad, but he was such an easygoing person!

I gotta admit that the working environment in this company is great! I love it!

After Henry left, Ms. Pennington quickly called Shane into her office.

“Ms. Pennington, is there something you need from me?” Shane was a bit nervous.

For one, Ms. Pennington in front of him was too alluring with her black stockings and long legs.

And secondly, he was very satisfied with this job, so he easily got nervous when he cared about something!

“Shane, please have a seat!” Ms. Pennington warmly invited him to sit on the couch, personally made tea for him, and opened a box of high-end cookies, placing them in front of him.

Shane was pleasantly surprised. He wondered what kind of talent he possessed to deserve such treatment from the gorgeous Ms. Pennington.

“Well, you are the new employee in my department. If you have any requests, feel free to let me know. You don’t have to be in a hurry to inform Mr. Houghton.” Ms. Pennington’s words were almost identical to Henry’s.

Shane was getting a bit scared. What kind of wonderful company is this? They treat new employees too well!

Although I am quite good-looking, a tad bit cuter than others, and have above-average abilities, they didn’t have to go this far, right?

Fortunately, Shane was not an introverted person. He took the opportunity to make a request. “Well then, Ms. Pennington, can you assign my workstation to be between Lily, Leah, and Lola?” Ms. Pennington didn’t expect that this relative of Henry would turn out to be a little pervert, but this kind of person was easy to deal with.

Seeing that she didn’t refuse, Shane quickly laughed and said, “I was just kidding. If it’s not possible…” “It’s possible! Of course, it’s possible!” Ms. Pennington quickly agreed. This kind of request was too simple. She had been afraid that Shane would come up with some difficult demands!

“I will arrange it for you right away!” Ms. Pennington called out, and Lily, Leah, and Lola, the three most beautiful female employees in the marketing department, quickly walked in.

“Ms. Pennington, do you have any instructions?” “You guys, go help the new employee move his seat. He will be sitting among you three from now on. If he faces any difficulties at work, you are responsible for helping him out!” “Yes, Ms. Pennington!” “We will!” “Hey, newcomer, add me on Facebook, and remember to contact me if you need anything.” The three female colleagues were also very enthusiastic.

Shane felt like he didn’t just find a job but paradise on Earth. In other companies, male employees are the ones doing the heavy lifting, but here, it’s the female employees helping me out?

The three young ladies not only looked pretty but also had dulcet voices and smelled pleasant. He was absolutely in love!

Shane was so happy that he almost felt nostalgic. Which beloved should I choose to spend the night with… On the other side, Emmanuel was picking up his wife as usual.

On the way, he received a call from Frederick.

“What? You got fired by the company?!” Emmanuel was extremely surprised. He had Eve arrange for Frederick to be a supervisor in his own company, and yet he got fired?

What happened?

“What’s going on?” Curious, Mackenzie asked. It was rare to see Emmanuel, who was usually a fool, so agitated.

Emmanuel couldn’t let his wife know about his own company’s affairs. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain. So, he quickly regained his composure and said, “No, it’s just that Frederick lost his job. I feel sorry for him!” Mackenzie knew about his relationship with Frederick, so when she heard this, she immediately said, “If he’s willing, he can come to work at the Terence Group headquarters. I’ll arrange a position for him as a supervisor in my company.” “Huh?” Emmanuel was startled. For a moment there, he thought his wife figured out he had his own company. Otherwise, why would she mention the position of a supervisor?

However, Mackenzie assumed he had never heard of such a special position, so she continued, The Terence Group finally kicked out Oscar Blue and his son. Now, I’m cleaning up the remnants and restructuring the company. I don’t know if there are any more moles.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1042-“So, I plan to arrange for trustworthy individuals to enter the company and monitor certain middle and high-level executives. However, if I assign people from my side, those executives might see through it.” “If you have your buddy go in and maintain a low profile, we can discreetly observe these individuals and see if they engage in any improper behavior.” So that’s her plan.

Emmanuel had originally planned to continue arranging for Frederick to join his company, but after hearing his wife’s words, it seemed that he could only reluctantly give up.

Upon returning home, Emmanuel received a call from his sister.

“Manny, Mom hasn’t been feeling well lately.” “What happened? Is she sick again?” Emmanuel’s heart immediately tightened.

“I asked her where she felt uncomfortable, and she said it was her heart.” Roselynn sighed and said, “Recently, Ryder and Tia’s relationship hasn’t been going well. Ruby always tries to seduce Ryder, and I don’t know what her intentions are. It makes Tia uncomfortable, and she rarely interacts with Ryder anymore!” “Is that so?” Emmanuel quickly said, “Then let’s have a meal with Mom tomorrow and comfort her together.” “Yeah, I’ve been busy with the store recently, and we have indeed neglected her. Manny, you arrange it. Mom will be very happy to see you and Mackenzie.” “Okay.” Emmanuel nodded. He also felt that they had neglected their mother during this period.

Roselynn rarely went home, and he had been in Anchortown for a while. His mother was always alone at home. Even if she wasn’t sick, she must have been feeling unwell.

Emmanuel quickly called Ryder to find out the situation.

Unexpectedly, a woman answered the phone.

“Manny, is that you?” “Ruby?!” Upon hearing this excited voice, Emmanuel felt something was wrong. After confirming that he had dialed the correct number, he was surprised and said, “Why are you answering Ryder’s phone for him?!” It’s already evening!

Ruby is still with Ryder? What’s going on?

“I’m at Ryder’s house, helping Tommy with his homework!” “Well, um-” Emmanuel didn’t know what to say for a moment, and after a long time, he said, “Then where’s Ryder?” “He’s taking a shower. Do you have something to tell him? I can pass on the message for you.” Ruby seemed to be Ryder’s partner.

Emmanuel was speechless. What has Ryder been up to recently? Has all the effort everyone put into helping him pursue Tia been in vain?

“Then tell Ryder that we’ll be having a meal at the private room in Luxoria Hotel tomorrow.” “Okay, I will pass on the message for you.” Ruby was in a good mood. She knew very well that Luxoria Hotel was owned by the Quillen family. Going there tomorrow for dinner would definitely give her a great opportunity to build a good relationship with Emmanuel and Mackenzie.

Emmanuel couldn’t care less about Ruby’s plans at the moment. He was only thinking about meeting Ryder tomorrow and finding out what had happened during this time.

Ryder couldn’t possibly be foolish enough to leave Tia and be with Ruby, right?

On the other hand, just as Ruby hung up the phone, Tommy appeared in front of her.

“Ms. Ruby, please don’t simply answer my dad’s calls.” Tommy was actually strongly averse to this woman. She always used the excuse of helping him with his schoolwork to stick around his father.

As for this woman’s intentions, Tommy knew very well that she wanted to buy a house in Cloud Bay.

Lately, she had been pestering his father, saying that if he wanted to marry her in the future, he must have a house there!

Tommy understood only some parts of it. He thought this woman was crazy. Where would Dad get the money to buy a house there? Dad definitely wouldn’t agree!

“Tommy, your dad is dating me. What’s the problem with me answering his calls?” Ruby actually disliked Tommy, thinking he was a burden, but she couldn’t sever ties with this little guy for now. After all, she still needed him to get close to Ryder.

As for Ryder, as honest of a guy he was, he was much easier to deal with. If she took the initiative to show him kindness, he wouldn’t refuse a woman. He simply couldn’t resist her!

The time before last, she used the excuse of helping Tommy with his schoolwork to come to Ryder’s house.

Ryder, who only had a high school education, agreed. Little did he know that after helping Tommy with his studies, Ruby secretly left behind an undergarment of hers, which Tia discovered and became resentful about.

Last time, she deliberately fell down and hugged Ryder, letting Tia see them embracing at home, easily making Tia leave in anger.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1043-And Ryder, this honest man, still believed that she didn’t do it on purpose. He even thought Tia was being overly sensitive! After Ryder finished showering, Ruby informed him about the situation and was about to leave Ryder’s house. Ryder expressed his gratitude once again, saying, “Ruby, thank you for coming to tutor Tommy again. You have a bachelor’s degree, so you must be a better teacher than me!” “Hehe, it’s not a big deal. I can still tutor Tommy when he goes to middle school!” Ruby said proudly. In reality, Tommy was only in first grade, and what he learned in school was extremely simple. Anyone who had attended elementary school could teach him. Ryder was just not very intelligent and struggled to express himself. “Hehe, thank you anyway. Shall I walk you to your car?” “It’s okay, I can go back by myself.” Ruby didn’t require Ryder’s company. Besides, she didn’t like this old man at all. She just wanted to use him to convince Emmanuel and Mackenzie to buy her a luxury house. As long as she captured the heart of this old man, she wouldn’t have to worry about not achieving her goal! Unexpectedly, on her way home, Milani called her. It turned out that she had posted on social media, boasting about having dinner at the Luxoria Hotel tomorrow, and Milani happened to see it. “Ruby, who are you going to dinner with at Luxoria Hotel tomorrow? It’s not that old man, is it? Does he have the money? That’s the highest-rated hotel in Yeringham!” “Hehe, I am going with him! It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t. As long as his cousin and Mackenzie does!” “Ruby, are you crazy? Are you really willing to be with that old man just to buy a house in Cloud Bay?” “Who said I’m going to be with him? I’ll just take advantage of him. It’s not too late to divorce later! You know, I have dated so many men before, but what did I get? Now, as long as I spend some time with this old man, I’ll have al chance to get half a luxury house. Opportunities like this are rare!” Milani was speechless. She was truly impressed by Ruby. She simply couldn’t do it herself. But Ruby didn’t have as good of circumstances as her, so she could only resort to such a low-level scam! “Ruby, I’m telling you in advance, I must break up Emmanuel and Mackenzie and make that dependent man fall from grace. So, if you fail to benefit from it, then, don’t blame me!” “Milani, have you gone crazy? If you want to break them up, at least wait until I get my house!” “I don’t care!” The moment Emmanuel was mentioned, Milani’s emotions started to get a bit out of control. That man has humiliated me so many times and ruined my chance of marrying Into a wealthy family. I hate him to the corel The nuated me so many unes and ruled my chance of marrying into a weany amy. I ate mim to the core! The more good days he has, the more I suffer!” “Huh? That’s-” Ruby didn’t expect that Milani would not listen to her this time. It seems I need to expedite the process and reap the benefits through Ryder first. With this in mind, she decided not to go home and deliberately rushed to knock on Ryder’s door. “Ruby, what’s wrong? Did you forget something?” Ryder opened the door and saw her flustered expression, unable to resist his curiosity. “Ryder, that driver was so inappropriate! He touched my thigh! I… I’m afraid to go home alone at night!” Ruby fabricated a story, pretending to be pitiful. Unfortunately, Ryder, as gullible as he was, fell for it! “What… What should we do? Tommy is still at home, and I can’t send you back!” “Can you let me spend the night at your place then?” “Huh? But…” Ryder hesitated for a moment, but Ruby walked straight into the house. After all, he couldn’t just kick her out, right? “Well, alright. There’s an empty room at home anyway.” After Ruby entered Ryder’s house once again, she immediately went to take a shower. Just as Ryder had put Tommy to sleep and walked out of the living room, Ruby came out wearing only a small towel. “Huh? Why- Ryder’s eyes widened, then he turned his face away, his face turning red. “Ruby, why aren’t you wearing any clothes and walking out like this?” Ruby secretly despised this old man in her heart. He clearly enjoys looking but still pretends to be a gentleman! But she said, “I don’t have any pajamas here, so what else can I wear?” “Oh, right!” Ryder felt a bit regretful. “I don’t have any women’s clothes at home. Just go back to the room and sleep. Okay then Ruby’s gaze was evasive, but she obediently went into an empty room.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1044-Ryder was about to enter the room to sleep when he suddenly heard Ruby scream, “Ah, there’s a mouse!” “Where is the mouse?” Ryder quickly rushed in, only to find that there was no mouse, but he noticed Ruby’s towel falling to the ground, revealing her ample bosom.

“Ah! I’m sorry!” Ryder’s heart started pounding, and he turned to leave, but Ruby pulled him back.

“Ryder, I’m really scared of mice! Can you sleep with me tonight?” novelbin “What? I-I can’t do that!” Ryder’s whole body tensed up.

He hadn’t been intimate with his wife, Abellyn, for a long time before their divorce, and since then, he hadn’t been with any woman. Now, knowing that there was a naked woman behind him, it was impossible for him not to have impure thoughts!

“Ryder, I’m really scared!” Ruby continued to plead, “I have important things to do tomorrow, and if I don’t get a good night’s sleep, I won’t have the energy for them, and I won’t have the energy to teach Tommy tomorrow night.” “Well… alright then!” His heart softened, and he immediately agreed to her request. “You get in the bed and cover yourself with the blanket, then I’ll turn around!” “Okay.” Ruby didn’t intentionally seduce him.

She knew very well the psychology of older men like Ryder. The more intentional she was, the more resistant he would be!

So, whether it was the last time at Emmanuel’s house or the multiple times she came to Ryder’s house, she never showed any intention. Every time, she pretended to expose herself accidentally. At least Ryder, with his intelligence, couldn’t see through it.

Now, she was lying in bed, deliberately wrapping herself tightly with the blanket, and only then did she ask Ryder to turn around.

Ryder saw her bundled up like a dumpling, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn’t get the image of her just now out of his mind.

“Ryder, can you sit by the side of the bed? Can you leave after I fall asleep?” Ruby extended her slightly plump arm and patted the bedside.

“Uh, well… alright then!” Ryder reluctantly agreed.

Ryder reluctantly agreed.

He was completely different from Emmanuel; his willpower was much weaker. He was just an ordinary man with desires and emotions but still had moral constraints.

As he sat by the bedside, she pretended to fall asleep.

Ryder saw her seemingly asleep and was about to stand up and leave, but unexpectedly, Ruby instinctively grabbed him.

Then, she used his thigh as a pillow and held onto him tightly.

Ryder suddenly felt like he was being scratched by a cat-it was unbearably itchy!

To his surprise, Ruby rested her head on his thigh, her warm breath gently brushing against his sensitive spot.

Ryder could hardly control himself!

As if possessed, the blanket that Ruby had covered herself with slipped down, almost causing his downfall as a man of age.

He wanted to help cover Ruby up with the blanket, but she pulled him down onto the bed.

Ryder thought she was doing it on purpose, but then he noticed that her eyes were closed.

Could she be sleepwalking?

The next morning, Ruby let out a scream, “Ry… Ryder, why are you sleeping with me? What did you do to me?” Ryder quickly got up, frantically waving his hands. “I… I didn’t do anything. You were the one who… Sigh…” Ryder couldn’t bring himself to say it. What if Ruby didn’t believe him and accused him of lying?

Sure enough, Ruby hugged the blanket and pretended to cry on the bed.

“What are you crying for?” Ryder panicked. What if Tommy wakes up and sees this scene?

He’d think that I’m intentionally being inappropriate!

“Of course, I’m crying. Ryder, are you trying to deny it now?” “I… I’m not that kind of person! I…” “Then, you will marry me, right?” “Huh? Uh…” Just as Roselynn and Emmanuel had suspected, Ryder was no match for Ruby. Just a few words from Ruby, and he was caught in a dilemma.

Truth be told, the one he loved was Tia.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1045-These few words struck a chord with Ryder.

What is my purpose in life now? Isn’t it just to raise Tommy and hope that he becomes successful?

Ruby is articulate, and she even has a bachelor’s degree, which is indeed much better than Abellyn.

Although she is average-looking and has been married before, she is more than sufficient for a divorced, plain-looking man like him.

Now that things had reached this point, he had no right to be picky about others.

“Well… if you don’t mind, I’ll marry you.” “Really? You promise?” “I… I promise!” After Ryder agreed, he sighed deeply in his heart.

In the past few days, he really thought he had a chance with Tia, but after Emmanuel went to Anchortown, there was no one to mediate, and his relationship with Tia drifted further and further apart.

His feelings of inferiority made him believe that he could never catch up with Tia, so now he was settling for second best, but he was also at peace.

“Ryder, you’re the best!” Ruby took the opportunity to pull Ryder down on the bed with her.

Coincidentally, Tommy just woke up and heard voices in the room, so he barged in.

“Dad-” After shouting, Tommy was stunned when he saw the scene on the bed.

“Ah! Tommy, don’t look around! I’ll go out with you!” Ryder was scared and quickly jumped off the bed, carrying Tommy and leaving the room.

Ruby still heard Tommy crying outside, but she didn’t care about what the little brat was crying about. As long as Ryder agreed to marry her, that was all that mattered. novelbin “Next, let’s see how I can extract money from the Lowe family! Hehe…” Ruby looked confident and smirked.

On the other side, Emmanuel went to the police station today to cooperate with Sage and Ashton in handling the case.

After leaving the police station, he went to pick up his wife.

Mackenzie also knew that she had to have dinner with Alessandra this afternoon, so she didn’t schedule any social engagements in the evening and left work on time.

Soon, the two of them arrived at Luxoria Hotel.

Little did they know that Milani had been waiting outside the hotel gate and saw Emmanuel driving a Maserati and entering the hotel with his beautiful and wealthy wife. The flames of hatred and jealousy burned fiercely in her heart.

“Hmph! Emmanuel, you little pretty boy, let’s see how I get revenge on you today!” Milani gritted her teeth.

When Emmanuel and Mackenzie entered the private room, Roselynn and Alessandra had already arrived and ordered the dishes, waiting for the couple.

“Mom, Roselynn, you’re here already?” “Oh, Mackenzie, you’re finally here! Hurry and take a seat. Let me have a good look at you!” Alessandra felt much better as soon as she saw her daughter-in-law.

Roselynn was speechless at this scene. Who needs a daughter when you have a daughter-in-law, right?

Mackenzie also enjoyed this feeling. Compared to Felicity, Alessandra gave her a greater sense of motherly love.

“Mom, is Mackenzie the only one on your mind? What about your son?” Emmanuel couldn’t help but feel jealous seeing his mother doting on his wife like that, just like Roselynn.

“Tsk, what’s so special about you? It’s been so long, and you still haven’t given me a grandchild!” Alessandra deliberately scolded her son, putting pressure on him.

Sure enough, Emmanuel immediately fell silent.

Mackenzie also had a strange look on her face. She thought Alessandra’s prickly response was not surprising. This guy is too passive. Who else can she blame? Am I supposed to be assertive and pounce on him instead? Hmph!

The family of four was initially having a great time together, but the next moment, the joyful atmosphere vanished when they saw the newcomers at the door.

“Mom!” Ruby came in with Ryder and sweetly called Alessandra “Mom” as well.

“Huh? Oh, hello there.” Alessandra was a little stunned but still politely responded to Ruby.

Roselynn stood up directly and stared coldly at Ruby. “Why are you here with Ryder?” Emmanuel couldn’t help but ask Ryder, “Ryder, where’s Ms. Franks? Didn’t you invite her to come too?” Ruby immediately put on a look of grievance.

Ryder sighed slightly. “I’m not worthy of Ms. Franks. I’ve thought about it and decided to be with Ruby instead. After all, she doesn’t mind me!” “What?!”

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1046-Mackenzie was assessing Ruby with her icy gaze; she suspected that Ruby was responsible for this situation.

However, finding a suitable woman for Ryder, given his intelligence and capability, was truly challenging. You can’t put a crown on a clown and expect a king, after all.

On the other hand, Alessandra was more open-minded. Although she had her sights set on Tia, now that Ryder was with Ruby, she was willing to lower her standards as long as she could find a woman for him and create a complete family.

With a polite smile, she said, “Come on, Ryder, Ruby, take a seat with Tommy, and let’s enjoy the meal together.” Ruby was in high spirits.

As long as Ryder confirmed his desire to marry her and Alessandra approved of her, she would hold nothing back.

After taking a seat, she immediately linked her arm with Ryder’s and said, “Ryder, since you promised to marry me, let’s discuss the wedding matters today!” “Ah? Oh… alright!” Ryder couldn’t refuse, considering he had agreed to it himself.

Alessandra, upon hearing this, also became interested. “Since you two are planning to get married, today is indeed a good opportunity for a serious discussion.” Roselynn suppressed her anger and remained silent, waiting to see what Ruby was up to!

Emmanuel and Mackenzie also stayed silent.

Since it was Ryder’s own choice, they, as outsiders, couldn’t intervene.

Upon hearing Alessandra’s words, Ruby got straight to the point. “Well… for the dowry, let’s stick to the previous agreement of 70 thousand!” “What? 70 thousand? Are you worth that much, woman?” Roselynn was the first to get agitated and slammed the table.

Ruby looked hurt, tightly holding onto Ryder’s arm, and said, “My parents agreed on at least 150 thousand. I genuinely want to marry you, and I’ve already reduced the dowry by half. You won’t go back on your word, will you?” Ryder looked helpless. Why? Why couldn’t I control myself last night? Why did I take advantage of her? He truly didn’t know what to do now!

“Hehe, 70 thousand is not a problem. Ryder is my son, so as his mother, I will naturally find a way for him!” Alessandra, surprisingly, accepted the condition. Now that the Lowe family’s financial situation had improved, she wouldn’t mind forking out 70 thousand as dowry.

Seeing Alessandra agree, Emmanuel had no choice. After all, he was her son.

Ruby, at this point, was elated and took the opportunity to say, “After we get married, we should have a house, right? I came across a house in Cloud Bay that I really like. Why don’t we buy it? It’s not too expensive, just over 300 thousand, and we only need to pay 120 thousand as a down payment!” “Hehe, 70 thousand is not a problem. Ryder is my son, so as his mother, I will naturally find a way for him!” Alessandra, surprisingly, accepted the condition. Now that the Lowe family’s financial situation had improved, she wouldn’t mind forking out 70 thousand as dowry.

Seeing Alessandra agree, Emmanuel had no choice. After all, he was her son.

Ruby, at this point, was elated and took the opportunity to say, “After we get married, we should have a house, right? I came across a house in Cloud Bay that I really like. Why don’t we buy it? It’s not too expensive, just over 300 thousand, and we only need to pay 120 thousand as a down payment!” “What?!” Roselynn immediately stood up and pointed at Ruby, saying, “Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You want a house that is worth over 300 thousand? Are you even deserving?” Ruby’s eyes turned red instantly, and she complained to Ryder, “Which woman getting married doesn’t want a house? Am I supposed to marry you and help raise Tommy, only to be treated as inferior?” Ryder sighed helplessly. “Ruby, it’s not that I don’t want to marry you, but I simply can’t meet these conditions!” Ruby quickly said, “Can’t you borrow some money from your family? We can work together to pay off the rest after the down payment!” “Hmph, finally revealing your true colors, huh?” Roselynn sneered. “You deliberately seduced Ryder to make him borrow money from Emmanuel and Mackenzie to marry you. You’re only after Mackenzie’s money, aren’t you?” As expected of Emmanuel’s sister.

Mackenzie admired Roselynn’s straightforward personality.

In fact, she had seen through Ruby a long time ago and understood her tactics: instead of making outrageous demands right away, she took a step-by-step approach.

This slow and gradual approach, known as “salami slicing” in politics, was the most difficult to deal with.

However, Mackenzie’s personality and status meant that she couldn’t directly expose the other party like Roselynn could.

“Roselynn, you… How could you view me like this? If I marry Ryder, am I supposed to accept being mistreated?” Ruby resorted to tears.

And it was incredibly effective, as she gained Alessandra’s sympathy!

“Roselynn, stop being so mean!”

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1047-Alessandra stopped Roselynn as expected. However, to buy a house worth over 300 thousand, she hesitated to agree immediately. Instead, she smiled and said, “Let’s enjoy the meal for tonight. We can talk about the house later.” Ruby was not in a rush either. After all, the 70 thousand dowry had been settled so she could take her time with the house.

In her opinion, this amount of money meant nothing to Mackenzie. With a little patience, she would surely succeed!

Ryder and Emmanuel were as close as real brothers. As long as Mackenzie remained Emmanuel’s wife, they would definitely find a way to help him.

When the time came, if he borrowed money and failed to repay it, they couldn’t possibly urge Ryder to settle his debt, could they?

Haha!

Little did she know that while she was making plans, Milani was already scheming outside, preparing to break up Emmanuel and Mackenzie!

She paid a pregnant woman 500 bucks and quietly instructed her, “When you go in, hold onto Emmanuel and show him this prenatal examination report. Say that he got you pregnant and demand that he take responsibility. You must break them up! Do you understand?” “Isn’t this going too far?” The pregnant woman shook her head resolutely. “He didn’t get me pregnant. It’s unfair to frame an innocent person like this and destroy someone’s family. It will invite divine retribution!” Milani interrupted her, “Stop babbling! After it’s done, I’ll give you another thousand bucks!” “Deal!” The pregnant woman immediately made an OK gesture. “Just like you, Ms. Zimmerman, I also despise men who rely on women. It is my duty to bring down this kind of man!” Milani gave her a disdainful look, letting her experience it for herself.

A thousand bucks, and she went from “invite divine retribution” to “my duty.” Money truly makes the world go round!

“By the way, Ms. Zimmerman, I don’t know the Emmanuel you mentioned!” The pregnant woman was about to head to the private room but suddenly turned back.

“Well, there are only two men in the private room. Just choose the good-looking one!” Milani obtained the information from Ruby, so she knew that the only men present in the private room were Ryder and Emmanuel.

“Alright, leave it to me!” The pregnant woman made an OK gesture and headed to the private room.

Soon, someone knocked on the door of the private room where Emmanuel was.

Milani obtained the information from Ruby, so she knew that the only men present in the private room were Ryder and Emmanuel.

“Alright, leave it to me!” The pregnant woman made an OK gesture and headed to the private room. novelbin Soon, someone knocked on the door of the private room where Emmanuel was.

“Come in!” Emmanuel called out, and someone pushed open the door.

“Oh! Frederick, you’re joining us, too? Come sit down, and let’s have a meal together.” Alessandra was also delighted to see Frederick. After all, he was a fellow townsman and her son’s best friend.

“Thank you, Ms. Cadigan.” Frederick didn’t hesitate and took a seat next to Emmanuel.

Emmanuel had invited him to join the meal and discuss his appointment as a supervisor in the Terence Group with Mackenzie.

Of course, it wasn’t convenient to talk about it now.

Just as he had settled down, the private room door was pushed open again!

“Who are you, miss?” Roselynn faced the woman, who was dressed provocatively and had a slightly protruding belly, and asked.

Emmanuel also thought that she had come to the wrong place, as he had never seen this woman before.

But in the next moment, the woman rushed toward him, crying and causing a scene. “You heartless man! You got me pregnant and abandoned me, and now you’ve found another woman, right? Sob… If you don’t marry me, I’ll die in front of you! I’ll take the baby down with me! Do what you will!” Oh my god!

What on earth is happening?

Everyone present was stunned.

Especially Alessandra. She couldn’t believe her son would do such a thing!

But the fact was presented before her, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Frederick also didn’t know what to feel. He had always thought that his best friend wouldn’t get involved in such matters between men and women. Who would have thought that Emmanuel was so far ahead of him, about to become a father even?

Mackenzie was sitting next to Emmanuel, watching the woman clinging to him, her beautiful eyes chilly. No one knew what she was thinking.

“Hey, are you out of your mind? How could Emmanuel get you pregnant?”

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1048-Ruby was well aware that this pregnant woman must be part of the scheme orchestrated by Milani, but she remained silent.

“Hmph, I’m not out of my mind! It was Emmanuel who got me pregnant. If he doesn’t marry me, I’ll expose his secret! His reputation will be ruined!” The woman went all out in order to earn another thousand bucks. “Emmanuel, are you even a man? Are you too afraid to admit it?” “What…” Alessandra didn’t dare to speak for a moment. The fact that the other party even called out her son’s name, they couldn’t have mistaken the person, could they?

She looked at Mackenzie, truly afraid that her son’s marriage would be ruined because of this!

Meanwhile, Milani hid outside, watching this scene from a distance, feeling extremely pleased with herself.

“Emmanuel, you little pretty boy, your marriage is doomed to fall apart this time! Don’t think you can show off in the future! We’ll be even now. If I can’t get married, you don’t get to have a wife either!” Little did she know, Emmanuel had sharp eyes and ears. With the door to the private room wide open, he immediately noticed Milani’s presence from the corner of his eyes.

At first, Emmanuel thought that this pregnant woman had entered the wrong room and mistaken him for someone else. But now, she was calling out his name, plus he discovered Milani’s presence. He immediately understood the situation!

He, the Wolf Warrior, usually appeared slow-witted, but when he was faced with a situation, his reaction was faster than anyone else’s. Before Mackenzie could get angry, he quickly said to the pregnant woman, “Oh, so you’re here to find Emmanuel? But I’m not Emmanuel!” “What? You’re not?!” The woman was startled. After all the fuss, it turned out that she had mistaken the person?

The others were still trying to comprehend the situation.

Only Mackenzie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on her lips. I knew this fool isn’t actually foolish!

Sure enough, Emmanuel immediately pointed to the guy next to him and said, “He is Emmanuel. You’ve mistaken me for someone else!” Frederick was dumbfounded. What’s going on? How did I become the scapegoat?

What surprised Frederick even more was that the pregnant woman immediately rushed over and started beating him desperately. “Emmanuel, you heartless man! You got me pregnant, and now you don’t want to take responsibility? Tell me, do you want to marry me or not?” Everyone, even the most clueless ones, finally figured out what was happening!

It turned out that this woman didn’t even know who Emmanuel was, yet she claimed that Emmanuel got her pregnant. Clearly, someone deliberately had this pregnant woman come and frame Emmanuel!

Frederick quickly looked at Emmanuel bie quee neemai suing “What dege thie bave to do with mo? What Frederick quickly looked at Emmanuel, his eyes seemingly saying, “What does this have to do with me? What should I do now?” Emmanuel also glanced at him, then glanced at Ryder.

Frederick immediately caught his drift and pointed at Ryder, saying, “Um, I’m not Emmanuel either! He is!” The woman was instantly stunned. She looked at Ryder, then at Frederick and Emmanuel, and exclaimed agitatedly, “You’re lying! Ms. Zimmerman clearly said that Emmanuel is good-looking. How can that man, who is so ugly, be Emmanuel?” The truth was finally revealed!

“Pfft!” Roselynn couldn’t help but laugh in an unkind manner.

Mackenzie was trying to suppress her laughter as well, her beautiful eyes even glaring at Emmanuel, as if saying, “You’re so mean! Look at what you’ve done to them!” Alessandra couldn’t help but stand up, laughing and crying, and said, “Miss, you better not accuse others of such matters. You don’t even know who my son is. How could he have impregnated you? Leave this place at once, or we’ll call the police!” Upon hearing the mention of the police, the pregnant woman stomped her feet in a fit and hurriedly fled.

It seemed that she wouldn’t be able to get the extra thousand bucks, all because Emmanuel was too cunning.

So, who the hell-is Emmanuel?

“Haha, turns out it was a case of mistaken identity!” “These little tricks are meant to break up Emmanuel and Mackenzie. What a joke!” “Ms. Zimmerman must be referring to Milani, right? Looks like her money went down the drain!” “Ruby, go back and tell Milani that she should stop being so obsessed!” After the woman left, Frederick and Roselynn continued to mock her together. novelbin Laughter filled the private room.

Roselynn even gave Emmanuel a thumbs-up for finally showing his intelligent side in front of Mackenzie!

Ryder was the only one sighing, feeling that if Ruby was willing to marry him, he shouldn’t be picky.

After all, everyone in the world thought he was ugly, so how could he have the qualifications to reject others?

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1049-During the meal, Alessandra suddenly excused herself and asked Emmanuel to follow her outside.

Originally, Emmanuel sat between Frederick and Mackenzie, but now that he had left, Frederick could finally see Mackenzie up close!

My goodness. Even though she was his best friend’s wife, she was also the number one Icy Female CEO of Yeringham!

To sit so close to her and share a meal was the dream of many men.

Frederick had always known that Mackenzie was beautiful and extremely charming, but now that they were sitting so close together, he realized that her charm was more than just great. It was irresistible!

Her bright eyes, sparkly white teeth, and flawless skin were all part of her natural beauty that couldn’t be compared to those women who relied on filters and skincare products like Katniss.

Not to mention her temperament, she completely embodied the role of an ice queen, something that other women couldn’t imitate!

Frederick stole a glance at Mackenzie, and unexpectedly, Mackenzie happened to catch him looking over.

Shoot!

Frederick immediately felt guilty and turned his head, almost straining his muscles from the sudden movement.

He felt pathetic and guilty toward his best friend. So, he turned his head back, feeling awkward, and said, “Um…” Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Mackenzie took the initiative to speak to him. “Has Emmanuel told you about coming to work at my company?” “Huh?” Frederick suddenly felt a bit light-headed, thinking that he could brag about this for the rest of his life! The number one Icy Female CEO of Yeringham actually initiated a conversation with a loser like me?

If he didn’t know that Mackenzie was married to Emmanuel, he would have thought that he had become the protagonist of a web novel!

“He didn’t tell you?” Seeing his reaction, Mackenzie furrowed her eyebrows.

“Uh, he did! He did!” Frederick nodded repeatedly.

“Then come to work tomorrow. I’ll have someone arrange a position for you.” Mackenzie felt that this best friend of Emmanuel’s seemed a bit unreliable. Why is he always acting so surprised for no reason?

Birds of a feather flock together, so a bunch of fools must stick together.

“Okay! I’ll definitely be there!” changing a few words with Mackenzie was sufficient to send him into a thrill. He really wondered how Emmanuel managed to handle himself at home.

“Oh, and Ryder!” Mackenzie suddenly mentioned Ryder.

“Huh? I’m here. Does Ms. Quillen have any orders?” Ryder was also slightly taken aback.

He used to not have such an exaggerated sense of awe for Mackenzie, but seeing Frederick’s humble attitude toward her, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“If you’re willing, you can also work at Terence Group. The benefits will be better than your current ones.” Mackenzie extended an olive branch to him as well. Of course, it was for Emmanuel’s sake.

“Wait, what?” Ryder had surprise written all over his face. “Ms. Quillen, can I really? I only have a middle school education.” “If you don’t mind, you can work as a security lieutenant. Once you gain enough experience and get promoted to captain, with additional allowances, you can earn over two thousand a month.” “Really?” Ryder was immensely grateful. “Okay, then I’ll come work for you!” Mackenzie nodded slightly.

Ruby couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. How lucky must Emmanuel be to marry such a powerful wife?

Not only did he start driving a Maserati, but Roselynn also became the owner of a branded clothing store. Now, even Emmanuel’s best friend and Ryder had obtained high-paying jobs because of this!

I can’t believe this. With just one person’s success, everyone around him had their lives improved!

“Ms. Quillen, won’t this have a negative impact on the company?” Ruby couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t this favoritism?” Mackenzie sneered. “The company belongs to my family. It’s better to have more reliable people working for us, isn’t it?” I trust the people that Emmanuel trusts.

Mackenzie would never allow the previous crisis to happen again, so the more people on her side, even if they were just at the grassroots level, the better!

Ruby quickly smiled novelbin and asked, “Then, Ms. Quillen, can you arrange a position for me, too? I don’t have high demands. Even with a middle school education, Ryder has the chance to earn over two thousand a month. With my bachelor’s degree, a monthly salary of five thousand would be great!” Upon hearing this, Roselynn couldn’t help but laugh. This woman really knows how to seize opportunities!

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1050-Mackenzie sneered immediately. “Didn’t you just say that favoritism is not good? I think what you said makes sense, so let’s forget about it!” “Huh? But…” Ruby’s face turned pale, but she still feared Mackenzie’s power, so she had to suppress all the insults she wanted to say.

You didn’t say anything when arranging jobs for others, but now you suddenly find it unacceptable when it’s my turn?

This is blatant bullying!

Roselynn found it amusing to see her acting like this and couldn’t help giving Mackenzie a thumbs-up furtively.

Mackenzie is so impressive!

And she has a pair of discerning eyes! She knows who can be trusted and who cannot.

At this moment, Alessandra had already taken Emmanuel to a leisurely fountain in the hotel.

“Mom, do you have something to say to me? Are you feeling okay?” Emmanuel initiated the conversation. novelbin Seeing that there was no one around, Alessandra sighed and said to her son, “I’m feeling fine, but there’s a lot of stuff troubling me recently. Apart from Ryder’s matters, I’m mainly worried about your sister!” Upon hearing this, Emmanuel quickly reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry too much about Roselynn. She is fully dedicated to her career now and doesn’t need to rely on a man for her life. What is there to worry about?” “Ah, what do you know?” Alessandra became even more worried when she heard him say that. “Your sister is still young now, and indeed, she can live on her own, but what about when she gets old? By that time, you and Mackenzie will have families, I will have passed away, and she will have no one to take care of her!” Parents’ love was universal and selfless.

Alessandra had been staying alone at home recently and felt extremely lonely, so she was very concerned that Roselynn would end up like her.

Moreover, it was only temporarily that she was without the company of her children, but if Roselynn couldn’t get married, how miserable would her old age be? She wouldn’t even have children to see her off!

Every time she thought about these things, she would have a hard time falling asleep at night.

Emmanuel’could understand Alessandra’s current state of mind, so he only gently patted her back. He didn’t know how to comfort her for a while.

“Manny, you haven’t been in Yeringham recently, so you probably don’t know what your sister has been facing.

“All the relatives and friends around us say that she is a wicked woman with malicious intentions. If this continues, who would dare to marry her?” After hearing Alessandra’s words, Emmanuel finally understood that his mother’s poor health was mainly due to Every time she thought about these things, she would have a hard time falling asleep at night.

“All the relatives and friends around us say that she is a wicked woman with malicious intentions. If this continues, who would dare to marry her?” After hearing Alessandra’s words, Emmanuel finally understood that his mother’s poor health was mainly due to her worries.

Emmanuel was skilled in medicine, but sometimes, the best remedy for a troubled heart was to solve the problems plaguing her. It was his duty as a son to alleviate her worries.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I will definitely help Roselynn find her other half, and I’ll also help Ryder find a good wife!” Emmanuel assured his mother immediately “What I’m most worried about now is your sister. Whenever I talk to her, she doesn’t listen to me, so I came to talk to you privately. As for Ryder’s matter, if he really wants to marry Ruby, then let him be.” Alessandra’s words made Emmanuel even more concerned.

Seems like Mom is considering agreeing to Ryder and Ruby’s marriage.

Ryder, my cousin, you really messed up. We’ve paved the way for you, yet you couldn’t seize the opportunity to win over Tia. This is so frustrating.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the dinner was over.

Emmanuel drove home with Mackenzie, and they continued discussing Roselynn’s situation along the way.

As a couple, they reached a consensus that Roselynn and Julian should go on another blind date. After all, the last blind date was as good as having not happened at all!

But for another blind date to happen, Emmanuel would have to persuade Roselynn. He wondered if Julian would be willing to give it another try.

“We’ll have to talk to Ashton again about this.” Mackenzie said, “At the end of the day, Lexi and Julian are only distant cousins. Ashton is his real sister.” After speaking, she looked at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel was slightly taken aback and smiled. “Why are you looking at me like that, Mackenzie? Don’t tell me you want me to go look for Ashton. We have a feud, and we don’t get along.” However, she shook her head. “I used to think the same way, but when we were in Anchortown, I noticed the way she looked at you was different from before. Did something happen between you two?” “Uh…” He didn’t know how to respond. He couldn’t possibly confess to his wife about what happened in Yeternia.
