Ch. 1311..1320
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1311-Reborn Like a Phoenix The moonlight was captivating.
“Ms. Zelinsky.” Dominique and Blake had been waiting outside the door. When they saw Hattie coming out, Dominique finally let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran over.
No one would have thought that the esteemed daughter of the Zelinsky family, the chairman of Aerelle Group, would almost end up in jail in Yeringham. If this matter were to be fully exposed, it would undoubtedly cause a major scandal.
“Get in the car. I want to see Magnus,” Hattie ordered directly.
Blake and Dominique were both slightly startled before quickly agreeing.
Soon, Hattie arrived at a secluded building.
In the dim room, there was a scholarly man, still wearing glasses and reading a book in the middle of the night.
The room had a door made of rusty iron, resembling a special prison.
Upon hearing movement outside the door, the scholarly man did not look out. He calmly said, “Hattie, you finally came to see me.” That night, he was supposed to go with Blake and a group of skilled individuals to deal with Saintess and Emmanuel, as well as take away the Heart of the Sun. Nevertheless, he never expected that when he turned around, his beloved sister would personally knock him unconscious.
Although Hattie was physically weak, her body, which had been exposed to a strange stone, possessed an extraordinary strength beyond that of ordinary people.
In any case, Magnus was no match for her.
“Magnus, I’m sorry.” As soon as Blake opened the iron door, Hattie walked in with a sad and apologetic face.
Magnus finally put down the book in his hand before standing up and walking over to Hattie. He gently stroked her cheek, wiping away her tears, and smiled faintly.
His smile was so pure that no one could imagine how cruel he could be.
At this moment, he was just a doting older brother to his sister.
“Silly girl, I will never blame you for anything. If it wasn’t for you knocking me out that night, I might never have seen you again.” After their mother left the Zelinsky family, the two siblings relied on each other in the treacherous family.
Magnus became strong in order to protect his sister.
He lived for his sister. No matter what happened, he didn’t need her to apologize.
“Magnus, you may not be able to return to Zovince anymore. When you were unconscious, the Zelinsky family declared you dead and made Maxwell the new heir. I wanted to make a final attempt to retrieve the Heart of the Sun for you, but unfortunately, I failed. So… Hattie said sadly.

The Zelinsky family was a vast and complex clan with various internal factions. The heir, who had fallen out of favor in previous generations, was in an awful position. Magnus Zelinsky and Maxwell had been at odds since childhood, and now Maxwell had become the successor. If Magnus returned to Zovince in the guise of a failure, his future days were bound to be miserable.
In that case, it would be better to continue to pretend that he was dead.
“It’s okay.” Even after hearing such discouraging news, Magnus’ smile remained confident. He pushed his glasses and said, “As long as I still have you and my brain, I still possess the whole world.” He believed that even if he pretended to have died, he could still be reborn like a phoenix, turning the tables against the wind. It was just a matter of how long he would lie dormant.
While the Yeringham farce was unfolding, Lexi was not idle. She had already helped Terence Group’s subsidiary in Onza find a location.
The next day, Mackenzie and Emmanuel went to Onza.
As the head of the Diamond Titan Military Technologies project, Beatrix naturally had to go to Onza as well. However, she did not depart with Mackenzie and Emmanuel. She had to stay in Yeringham to finalize the contract for M&L Group.
Thinking about this contract made her furious.
The representative from M&L Group was quite a character. Last time, he not only helped himself to her food but also addressed her as “darling,” going as far as to touch her face. She had to engage in communication and negotiation with this eccentric individual for cooperation, which was truly exasperating.
However, she received good news that morning-Lara resigned and left.
Terence Group was currently in the process of acquiring Verkade Group. Although the process was not yet finalized, it was already a foregone conclusion. The Verkade family had made significant efforts to avoid being taken over by the Zelinsky family, but ultimately, they had to succumb to being acquired by the Quillen family. It could only be said that in the business world, one misstep would lead to a chain of missteps. There were many irreversible consequences.
Some individuals amassed wealth overnight, while others vanished overnight. It was not uncommon to witness peculiar occurrences in the business realm.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1312-Love Letter Retribution for Gautier’s betrayal of Hattie came in the form of a billion-dollar retirement fund, sparing the Verkade family from complete ruin. 1 Lara felt a deep sense of sympathy for Gautier, believing that Mackenzie was simply stubborn. This was why she no longer wished to work tirelessly for the Terence Group, especially under the oppressive shadow of Beatrix.
Upon hearing Lara’s decision, Beatrix couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement as she exclaimed, “That’s great!” She was very happy to bid farewell to Lara.
At 9 a.m., a well-dressed young man arrived at Terence Group’s branch in Yeringham. It was Shane.
He muttered to himself while counting on his fingers, “Hehe! The lovely fairy slapped me three times last time, so it must mean that I should return to her in three days. She’s so mischievous. Fortunately, I’m clever enough to understand her hint. Here I am today, successfully arranging another meeting.” Shane rubbed his hands together, brimming with excitement.
Last night, he mustered the courage to make appointments with Beatrix. To his surprise, she agreed.
She asked him to come to her office early in the morning to continue their unfinished discussion.
Having successfully secured the appointment, Shane couldn’t have been prouder. He and Frederick were already sharing a rented house and working together. They even made a bet to see who could bring a woman back first.
Now, it seemed that Shane was in the lead.
During their last encounter, Beatrix even took the initiative to ask him for a kiss. He wondered what hint she would give this time.
He pondered over this all night and could hardly sleep. In fact, he was already sleepless. He even took the time to write a love letter, determined to win over Beatrix today.
Shortly after, he knocked on the door of Beatrix’s office.
“Come in,” Beatrix replied, still engrossed in her work.
Shane entered without saying a word, wearing a sly smile.
Wow, Ms. Beatrix seems even more enchanting than before! If I can marry her and bring her to Hero’s Village, Master Drunkard would surely be overjoyed. He may even shed tears of joy. Anyway, I will become the second most respected person in Hero’s Village after Emmanuel. The woman I marry will be enough to make half of the village’s men envy me.
Beatrix didn’t hear any movement for a while. Suddenly, she looked up and was startled. Why is this annoying man staring at me with a smirk? He’s truly a psycho!
However, she also feared that if she didn’t finalize the contract today, it would delay the project’s progress. Hence, she politely smiled at Shane and said, “Mr. Shane, you’re here. Please have a seat.” Observing her enthusiasm, Shane knew that she wasn’t truly angry when she slapped him last time. He immediately adjusted his posture and replied with a smile, “Of course I came. You made an appointment with me three days ago.” “Haha…” Beatrix smiled on the surface, but in her mind, it was actually Oh God! Please send someone to remove this monster!
Suddenly, a brilliant idea crossed her mind.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea crossed her mind.
Frederick is also from Hero’s Village, right? It would be better to send him to negotiate with this annoying jrk. Then, I wouldn’t have to feel goosebumps every time I see him “Mr. Murphy, please have a seat first. I need to step out for a moment,” Beatrix said as she stood up and casually closed her laptop before leaving Observing her demeanor, Shane couldn’t help but wonder if she felt shy due to his presence. Or, perhaps, she wanted to fix her makeup and present her most beautiful self Although he already found her stunning as she was, he would allow her to do her makeup if she desired. It presented the perfect opportunity for him to leave the love letter he had written the previous night on her desk.
Waif, what if she doesn’t notice it? Fine, Fil just slip inside her laptop. She will surely come across it when she returns.
“Oh, how embarrassing!” After placing the love letter, Shane realized that Beatrix would have to read it in front of him later. That would be very awkward for him.
Forget it. I should leave for a while and return after she finishes reading it With that thought in mind, he hastily made his exit.
Meanwhile, Beatrix had already arrived at the main office and found Frederick, who was engrossed in his work.
During their last encounter, Beatrix even took the initiative to ask him for a kiss. He wondered what hint she would give this time.

“Oh, how embarrassing!” After placing the love letter, Shane realized that Beatrix would have to read it in front of him later. That would be very awkward for him.
Forget it. I should leave for a while and return after she finishes reading it.
With that thought in mind, he hastily made his exit.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1313-Misunderstanding He was not the type to overthink like Shane, but Beatrix was so enthusiastic as she anxiously tried to get rid of Shane that she grabbed his arm tightly.
This scéne shocked their colleagues who were watching.
They had known that Frederick, the newcomer, was highly regarded by Beatrix and entrusted with important tasks. However, they didn’t expect that Beatrix had such a close relationship with him.
Frederick blushed a little as he felt the gazes around him. He wondered if Beatrix had feelings for him.
However, Beatrix was unaware of all this: She gasped for breath and said, “Frederick, I need your help.” “Ms. Quillen, what do you want me to do? Just give me the order,” Frederick said with a hint of nervousness.
As the person in charge of the project, Beatrix didn’t think it would be appropriate to openly ask Frederick to go and negotiate cooperation with Shane in front of so many subordinates. If Mackenzie heard about it, she would definitely lecture her.
Therefore, she leaned close to Frederick’s ear and whispered, “Go to my office quickly and assist me with an important matter.” “What matter?” Frederick instinctively asked.
“Don’t ask so many questions. You’ll know when you get to my office. If you’re still unsure, just open my computer. I’ve stored all the important things there,” Beatrix said before leaving.
The person in charge of M&L Group was still in her office, and she had all the relevant documents on her computer. Frederick, being such an astute man, would surely know how to handle the situation.
Frederick was a bit puzzled, but he dared not disobey his superior’s orders.
When he arrived at the office, Shane was nowhere to be found.
Frederick was still confused, not knowing what Beatrix wanted him to handle.
He cautiously approached her desk and opened her laptop.
To his surprise, a pink letter fell out and gently landed on his foot.
What the hell?
He quickly picked it up and read it, instantly dumbfounded.
“A letter for my dear?” Frederick still couldn’t believe it. Could this be a love letter from Ms. Quillen to me?
Recalling Beatrix’s hurried appearance, her enthusiastic gestures, and suggestive words, he was certain that the letter was for him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked him to open her laptop.
He never expected that the important matter Beatrix mentioned was actually this.
He was pleasantly surprised. He had been worried that Beatrix’s kindness toward him was just his imagination as a man. Now, it seemed that it was definitely not fake.

He was pleasantly surprised. He had been worried that Beatrix’s kindness toward him was just his imagination as a man. Now, it seemed that it was definitely not fake.
She even wrote a love letter, so she must have a secret crush on him.
He quickly read what Beatrix had written.
“My dear, I am a rather shy and introverted person, so I can only express my feelings through writing.
Do you feel a little bit attracted to me? To be honest, I also have a slight affection for you. If you truly novelbin like me, please contact me at this WhatsApp account, which is specially created for you. If you don’t reach out to me, then let our love fade away.” After reading the contents of the letter, Frederick felt like a blooming flower, his whole being illuminated.
He never expected that Beatrix would actually write a love letter to him.
Happiness just came too suddenly.
Could it be that I am going to become the male protagonist in a novel who marries a beautiful and wealthy woman, becomes a CEO, and reaches the pinnacle of life?
Originally, Frederick didn’t believe in these things. However, Emmanuel’s experience told him that this kind of thing really existed. Emmanuel had actually married a beautiful and wealthy woman and reached the pinnacle of life ahead of him.
Now, luck had finally come to him.
He thought that Beatrix had called him in for this matter, so he excitedly ran out after receiving the love letter.
Ms. Quillen is great in every way, except her handwriting, which is a bit ugly, but it’s not surprising. In this age of advanced technology, no wealthy young lady will still engage in handwriting. No worries!
Not long after Frederick left, Shane also cautiously glanced inside, hoping to see if Beatrix had read his letter.
However, there was no one there.
“How strange, hasn’t she returned for such a long time?” He entered quickly. Upon seeing that Beatrix’s laptop was open and his love letter was nowhere to be seen, his furrowed brow instantly smoothed out.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1314-Tele-conversation Beatrix read her love letter? And she took the letter with her?
What should I do?
Did she accept it and keep it hidden?
It’s normal for a girl to be a little shy!
Shane took out his phone quickly, opened a secondary WhatsApp account nervously, and coincidentally received a friend request.
“Yes!!” Shane was so excited that he jumped up. He was no longer single!
He finally found love!
He had risen!
“Love of mortals?” Shane saw the WhatsApp name of the other person and couldn’t help but smile. Beatrix, who was known as a wealthy young lady, actually only desired the love of mortals.
Well, it was understandable. It was said that the marriages of wealthy heiresses were all political alliances. It was normal for her to desire something like this!
Shane looked at his own name, and fortunately, it was not bad either. He was called the “Perfect Couple”!
After accepting the friend request from the other side, Frederick looked at it and thought that the name Beatrix gave herself was too obvious. So, she wanted to be a perfect couple with him?
From now on, he would use this secondary account for Beatrix. He wanted to have a low-key relationship with Beatrix and be a perfect couple!
“Hehe. Shane lost! I’m no longer single!” After muttering to himself, Frederick quickly sent a message to his beloved Beatrix. ‘I would rather choose love than a long and lonely life. For the rest of our lives, I will always be there for you, no matter the obstacles we face. I will brave all obstacles and weather storms for you!’ Oh my goodness! novelbin In the office, Shane received this message and instantly felt both cheesy and relieved. He didn’t expect Beatrix to have such an artistic side!
Fortunately, even though he didn’t go to school, he had been writing poetry with Santiago since he was young, so he wouldn’t be lacking in artistic flair!
Since Beatrix liked art, he would give it a try!
He wasn’t afraid of her.
“The world won’t treat you kindly, and God won’t give you special treatment, but I will!” “Wherever you are, the weather is clear, and everything is lovely!” “I have witnessed the spring breeze for ten miles, experienced the peak and end of summer, tasted the ripples of autumn light, and loved the warmth of the winter sun. Yet, none of it compares to your words-‘ I want to see you!” They continued chatting.
In this way, the two of them exchanged words for a long time, and both of them felt like they were floating on cloud nine.
“The feeling of being in love is amazing!” Both of them, who were in different locations, looked up at the sky and sighed at the same time.
It was almost time for lunch when Beatrix finally returned to the office. She wanted to see if Frederick and Shane had finalized the contract details.
But when she entered and took a look, she was surprised to find that Shane was sitting in her office while smiling radiantly like a rippling spring that was full of joy.
“Um… can we sign the contract now?” Beatrix couldn’t help but interrupt his blissful state.
Shane couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement when he saw her. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Of course! No matter what conditions you propose, I will agree to them!” Beatrix was puzzled. “Huh…?!” Why does Shane’s gaze seem off?
Why is he looking at me as if I were his wife?
Forget it! Regardless, let’s finalize the contract, and I’ll follow my sister to expand the business in Onza tomorrow!
Soon, the contract was successfully signed.
Shane really agreed to whatever Beatrix said!
“Dear, from now on, we will join forces and create something extraordinary! No matter the storms we face, we wil face them together! Mwah!” Shane departed with the contract and made sure to blow a kiss to Beatrix.
Beatrix was taken aback! Was Shane out of his mind? Just because they were collaborating on a project, he believed he could harass her?
“Forget it. I’ll have Frederick deal with him from now on. I never want to see him again! Out of sight, out of mind!” Beatrix brushed off the goosebumps on her arms.
Meanwhile, Shane exited the Terence Group branch office and coincidentally encountered Frederick.
Both of them set aside their phones and exchanged smug glances.
“Haha… Frederick, I have some exciting news for you, but for you, it might be unwelcome! Prepare yourself!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1315-Studying the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown Shane was the first to speak.
“Coincidentally, I also have some news to share, and it’s similar to what you just said! Brace yourself!” Frederick wasn’t about to back down.
“Let me go first. I’m officially in a relationship now. I have a girlfriend. Haha…” Shane laughed triumphantly.
“Well, isn’t that a coincidence! I’m in a relationship, too. My girlfriend is so amazing that you’ll be so envious!” Frederick countered confidently.
Shane immediately became annoyed. “I don’t believe it. Your girlfriend can’t compare to mine!” Frederick stood with his hands on his hips. “That’s what I should be saying!” “All right then. Let’s bring our girlfriends out next time and see who’s girlfriend is more impressive!” Shane grew angrier and angrier. He had to completely outdo Frederick. His girlfriend was none other than Beatrix, ely outdo Frederick. His girlfriend was none other than Beatrix, Frederick’s superior. What did Frederick have that could compare?
Apart from Emmanuel’s wife, he didn’t respect anyone else!
“That suits me just fine!” Frederick had a confident look on his face. His girlfriend was none other than Beatrix. Shane couldn’t even imagine someone on his level.
Who could compare to him, except for Emmanuel’s wife?
“Hmph! We’ll see about that!” The two friends from Hero’s Village snorted coldly at each other and walked away.
On the other side, Emmanuel and his wife had already arrived in Onza.
Lexi was indeed reliable in handling things. The Terence Group branch in Onza had been set up and could officially start operating. In addition to transferring some employees from Yeringham, they had also begun recruiting in Onza.
Now, Mackenzie and Emmanuel were faced with only two major tasks.
Firstly, they had to join the Chamber of Commerce.
Secondly, they needed to fulfill the 75 million order from Diamond Titan Military Technologies.
To some extent, these two tasks were interdependent, but currently, joining the Chamber of Commerce had almost become a prerequisite for Terence Group to complete the 75 million order. Without joining the Chamber of Commerce, Terence Group might face significant difficulties in Onza!
“Ms. Quillen, this office building was borrowed under the name of the Summerton family. Onza is a very large city and a battleground for various families and forces in Nuthaha. The rules and conflicts here are much more complex and numerous than in Yeringham. We need to be mentally prepared for a tough battle ahead.” On the other side, Emmanuel and his wife had already arrived in Onza.

The rules and conflicts here are much more complex and numerous than in Yeringham. We need to be mentally prepared for a tough battle ahead.” Lexi reported to Mackenzie in the president’s office.
“Lexi, understand. Thank you!” Mackenzie thanked Lexi sincerely. If she hadn’t had Lexi by her side, she and the Quillen family might not have achieved the success they have today. Lexi had been a great help.
Lexi immediately joked. “Ms. Quillen, you suddenly being so polite to me makes me a little scared!
You’re not thinking of firing me, are you?” She followed Mackenzie not only because of family reasons but also because she greatly admired Mackenzie’s personal charm. In her heart, Mackenzie was a person who was cold and ruthless but full of wisdom and courage. Why did this iceberg show signs of melting after getting married?
Mackenzie smiled casually while gesturing for Lexi to attend to other matters, then turned to Emmanuel and asked, “So, what’s your plan next?” Emmanuel replied, “I’m not good with mall and chamber of commerce affairs, so I’m thinking of focusing on studying the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown.” Mackenzie immediately chuckled. “As expected. You still love getting into fights everywhere!” Upon hearing this, Emmanuel was reminded of past events and laughed while saying, “I remember during our first month of marriage, you made me train for a month to get into fights outside. If I hadn’t known how to fight, I probably wouldn’t have been able to marry you!” Mackenzie glared at him and said, “So, you think fighting is honorable, huh?”, “I never said that!” He raised his hands innocently and continued, “But I wouldn’t hesitate to defend my wife!” Mackenzie’s heart softened a bit, but she still gave him a stern look and started bustling around while saying, “If you want to focus on the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, go ahead. I don’t need to explain the rules to you. You’ve always been better at this fighting stuff than me!” As a woman, Mackenzie wasn’t particularly interested in the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, but she understood the importance of this competition in establishing the Quillen family’s reputation and making a name for themselves in Onza. It was also a way to expand their influence and join the chamber of commerce.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1316-Grand Martial Showdown “Well… I’m going then!”.
Emmanuel wasted no time and quickly got into a car after leaving the office building.
By evening, he was wearing a half-wolf mask and appeared in a large boxing arena with Nathan.
Onza’s area was approximately 2.5 times larger than Yeringham and was divided into several major districts.
The Eastern Star Mountain that Emmanuel and Sarah had previously visited was located in the southwest district of Onza. Now, Emmanuel found himself in the central-southern district of Onza.
This area was home to many mysterious and massive buildings, such as the boxing arena they were in tonight. These places were privately controlled and had strong backgrounds. Even the police in Onza found it difficult to enter these places, let alone conduct extensive searches.
“Master, you’ve arrived at the perfect time. Do you understand the rules of the Grand Martial Showdown?” Nathan explained the rules of the Grand Martial Showdown to Emmanuel as they walked.
This was a large-scale martial arts tournament jointly organized by the major forces in Chanaea. It was like the World Cup of the martial arts world.
It would last for 35 days!
The first 32 days were considered the preliminary rounds, and only the last 3 days were the thrilling finals!
During the 32 days, 2 winners were determined each day, making a total of 64 people who will enter the final competition.
These 64 people could be representatives of a family or a force organization who had already registered for the tournament, or they could be some independent fighters that were commonly known as Wanderers.
Families or forces could register a maximum of 3 participants for the tournament. If they had less than 3 participants, they could recruit the winners of these 32 days to join your team if they had the ability and means.
In short, if a certain family or force did not have even one participant in the final match, they would definitely become objects of ridicule and contempt, and their reputation would plummet!
On the contrary, the more participants there were in the final match, the more powerful the force was considered to be, and naturally, it would earn the respect of other forces.
If a fighter from a certain force won the championship, they would be honored as the martial champion, and their reputation would resound throughout Nuthana and even Chanaea. Who would dare to disrespect them in the future?
Emmanuel was exposed to this circle for the first time, and at first, he might not have understood the significance of martial strength for a family or force. However, after coming to this arena and seeing many fanatical enthusiasts and prominent figures who were obsessed with martial arts, he began to feel the level of respect and awe that fighters received here!
It was just like when he was in the war realm before, where he was regarded as a deity because of his immense martial strength and countless achievements!
“Oh, isn’t this Mr. Nathan? This is not your territory. What are you doing here?” Nathan led Emmanuel and a group of people into the VIP area of the arena, and a voice filled with vigilance and hostility came from shoad It was just like when he was in the war realm before, where he was regarded as a deity because of his immense martial strength and countless achievements!
“Oh, isn’t this Mr. Nathan? This is not your territory. What are you doing here?” Nathan led Emmanuel and a group of people into the VIP area of the arena, and a voice filled with vigilance and hostility came from ahead.
Emmanuel recognized the person speaking. It was Blaze, whom he had seen in Yeringham before!
However, Emmanuel was wearing a mask, so Blaze didn’t recognize him, and Blaze’s attention was focused on Nathan.
Just a moment ago, Nathan had told Emmanuel that because 64 participants would be determined in 32 days, with 2 winners each day, the major families and forces would tactfully avoid each other to prevent premature conflicts.
As for this tacit rule, it was established long ago by the most prestigious Silverbane family in Nuthana, and the first day belonged to the Silverbane family from Eshal, so the fighters from other forces had to be sensible and step back.
As for the next day, it was the Silverbane family from Onza’s turn, and the Chapman Family’s turn would come on the third day. So when Nathan showed up with his entourage on the first day, Blaze couldn’t help but be on guard.
“Haha. It’s you, Blaze!” Nathan didn’t even want to address him as Mr. Silverbane and responded with a hearty laugh, “What?
Are you afraid I’ll ruin the party? Isn’t the Silverbane family renowned as the top family in Nuthana? It’s surprising to see you so apprehensive!” “What do you mean?” Blaze narrowed his eyes while revealing a menacing glint.
Emmanuel noticed that three fighters were standing behind him, and one of them, a man in a well- novelbin tailored vest, exuded a strong sense of hostility and a terrifying presence!
An expert, huh?
It appeared that the background of the Silverbane family from Eshal was truly remarkable to be recognized as the number one family in Nuthana!
Emmanuel wanted to advise Nathan against provoking them, but Nathan was naturally flamboyant an his powerful master for support. How could he possibly consider restraining himself?
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1317-The Man in Purple Nathan continued to taunt Blaze directly. “According to the rules, two winners are determined every day, and all major forces are free to participate in the competition. Even if someone from the Chapman Family competes today, it cannot be considered as encroaching on the Silverbane family’s territory. If you lose, you can only blame your own lack of skills!” “So, what you’re saying is that you have to invade the Silverbane family’s territory today?” Blaze clenched his teeth and threatened coldly.
Emmanuel wanted to intervene, but the few fighters behind Nathan had already joined him and shouted as their faces turned red, “Whether we invade or not depends on Mr Summerton’s decision. If the Silverbane family is afraid, you can give up today’s spot then! Haha…” “That’s right! Do you think Mr. Nathan needs you to dictate the rules?” Nathan also felt very proud, with his hands in his pockets and his head held high.
Blaze had clashed with him in Yeringham, and he was so arrogant. Coincidentally, Nathan liked dealing with arrogant people!
“D*mn it! Since that’s the case, I’ll send all of you to the hospital right now!” Blaze couldn’t bear it anymore and cursed coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in purple behind him suddenly made a move and slapped his palms toward Nathan!
“Mr. Chapman, be careful!” The two fighters behind Nathan quickly reached out their palms to Nathan.
“No!” Emmanuel quickly spoke, but it was already too late. ercept the man in purple in order to save As soon as the man in purple made his move, he realized that the other party was just pretending.
Even if the man in purple was arrogant, he wouldn’t dare to harm the heir of the Chapman Family in Zovince. He just wanted to provoke Nathan’s fighter to save him!
The man in purple possessed a different level of internal strength compared to an ordinary person If Nathan directly clashed with him, he would definitely suffer!
Sure enough!
After two loud slaps, the two fighters on Nathan’s side immediately felt numbness in their arms. They had to take a few steps back before they could barely stand while looking embarrassed!
“What incredible internal strength!” Both of them exclaimed at the same time.
Nathan secretly took a deep breath too. The Silverbane family from Eshal was indeed formidable. They actually had a fighter with such unfathomable strength!
In fact, before the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown started, the major families and forces had conducted investigations on the participating forces. Nathan even had a very detailed dossier on their strength, so he thought be bad about 80.90% understanding of the Silverbane familly Who would have thought that he still underestimated.

It seemed that their fighters had always been concealing their true abilities just to make a stunning appearance in the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown and catch their opponents off guard.
How cunning they were!
“Ruben, make Mr. Nathan kneel and apologize to me!”.
Blaze took advantage of the situation and said coldly with a smirk, “Let him know that those who don’t abide by the rules are nothing but garbage!” Nathan didn’t like Blaze, and Blaze wanted nothing more than to beat Nathan to death!
Blaze hadn’t even settled the score from their last encounter in Yeringham yet!
Today, he took advantage of Nathan not bringing the protector from the Chapman Family. He had to seize the opportunity to undermine Nathan’s prestige and prevent Nathan from being so ostentatious in the future, especially in front of him!
The man in purple smirked evilly and reached out to choke Nathan. He intended to make Nathan submit and kneel before Blaze!
But before his hand could reach Nathan, a powerful fist collided with his wrist..
The man in purple was greatly shocked and immediately retaliated with a palm strike.
In that moment of confrontation, he finally caught a glimpse of the piercing eyes beneath his opponent’s wolf mask, resembling a ravenous wolf lurking in the darkness of night.
This young man was undoubtedly extraordinary!
With a resounding smack, the two combatants collided, causing Nathan and Blaze, who were standing nearby, to lose their balance and retreat hastily. If it weren’t for their bodyguards shielding them, they might have ended up flat on their backs.
As a result of the forceful clash, the man in purple staggered back four or five steps before regaining his composure. He felt a tingling sensation throughout his arm On the other hand, the wolf-faced individual merely took a half step back.
The other fighters from the Silverbane family exchanged incredulous glances, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
They were well aware of the formidable strength possessed by the man in purple, but they never anticipated that, in addition to him, the Chapman Family also harbored someone even more powerful!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1318-Encountering Mackenzie Nathan wore a smug smile on his face. This guy, known as Ruben, actually wanted to compare his internal strength with the Northern Region Wolf. Wasn’t he courting death?!
“Hehe…” In the next moment, the man in purple clothes concealed his trembling right arm and smirked at Emmanuel. “Kid, have you ever heard of the Five Poison Palms? You’re already poisoned, just like them. If you don’t want to die, kneel and beg for mercy. Maybe I’ll spare your lives if I’m in a good mood!” The two fighters from the Chapman Family who had just exchanged blows with the man in purple clothes looked at their palms and discovered that they had turned pitch black, causing both pain and itchiness!
Nathan, who was originally smug, felt his smile freeze again. Good gracious! Did Emmanuel also get poisoned?
On the other hand, Blaze, who had a slightly pale face, once again smiled smugly. The Silverband family had the upper hand. Their fighting technique was still superior!
Unexpectedly, Emmanuel’s arm suddenly trembled, and an invisible force immediately burst out, gently blowing away the dust on the ground!
Ruben’s smug expression instantly disappeared and was replaced by a face full of horror. This masked man’s internal strength was even stronger than he had imagined! Who on earth was he?!
“Hahaha…” Nathan was about to continue showing off, but Emmanuel covered his mouth.
“Stop babbling, and let’s go!” A loose tongue might cause a lot of 196 was usually low-key, and he didn’t come here tonight to cause trouble or fight!
As they watched Nathan being forcefully dragged away by the wolf-faced man, Blaze and his group dared not make any more noise.
Especially Ruben. His arrogant demeanor had disappeared!
“I never expected the Chapman Family to have such hidden talents. They truly deserve to be one of the Chanaea Big Four! Interesting! Very interesting!!” Ruben licked his lips and said coldly.
The next time he saw this wolf-faced man in the arena, he would definitely go all out and use any means necessary to defeat him! He wanted to avenge today’s humiliation!
“Master, why didn’t you let me show off?” Nathan complained discontentedly as they left the VIP area and entered a corridor.
Emmanuel couldn’t do anything about his flamboyant disciple. He was thinking about how to deal with Nathan when suddenly, he froze in place!
“Huh?!” Nathan thought he had been immobilized by someone, but when he followed his gaze, he realized that there were two gorgeous women walking toward them with a few bodyguards at the other end of the corridor.
The leading gorgeous woman was wearing a tight purple dress that was both sexy and elegant, making it hard for men to look away.

“Haha! Isn’t that Mistress?
Nathan saw Mackenzie and waved at her from a distance, “Hey, Mistress! What a coincidence! Are you here to watch the boxing match, too?” Mackenzie had actually seen Nathan and the wolf-faced man, and she was planning to pretend she hadn’t seen them and leave. But now, with Nathan shouting at her like this, she couldn’t pretend anymore.
Behind her, Lexi also stared at Nathan and the people behind him. She felt that the wolf-faced man’s gaze at Ms. Quillen was a bit strange. Did he know Mackenzie? How could his eyes carry a hint of fondness?
“Mr. Chapman, please watch your words!” Mackenzie, aware that her status was far inferior to Nathans, remained aloof and warned him directly.
“I am a married woman. If you continue to address me so casually, I will send you a lawyer’s letter!” “Haha! Sorry! My apologies!” Nathan scratched his head and laughed while looking up at her.
Upon seeing this scene, his followers behind him were a bit surprised. It was the first time they had seen the outspoken Nathan apologize to a woman!
Was he afraid of receiving a lawyer’s letter?
After all, the Chapman family had a large legal team!
So, what could be the reason behind this?
Mackenzie remained composed, but her natural reaction made her inadvertently take a closer look at the man with a wolf-like face.
The man with a wolf-like face deliberately changed his voice and chuckled. “Ms. Quillen, we meet again. How have you been?” “…” Mackenzie bit her red lips lightly and unexpectedly felt a tinge of nervousness.
Lexi was also taken aback. She had never seen this side of Mackenzie before! What was the story between her and the man with a wolf-like face in front of them?
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1319-Reminiscing the Past “I’m fine. Thank you!” Mackenzie spoke politely, but there was a distant coldness in her demeanor that kept others at bay.
Upon seeing this man, she couldn’t help but recall what had happened in Yeternia. The memories that she had finally managed to forget suddenly resurfaced!
This man had kissed her, touched her chest, and even professed his liking for her!
What would Emmanuel think if he found out? Would that foolish man fight with this man with a wolf-like face?
Could Emmanuel stand a chance against him?
“Ms. Quillen-” “Goodbye!” The man with the wolf-like face wanted to say something, but Mackenzie didn’t want to listen anymore.
She just wanted to leave in a hurry.
But after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and said, “Mr. Wolf, you saved me before. I will find a chance to repay you as I don’t like owing favors to others!” After speaking, she remained as cold as ice and then turned and left.
It wasn’t until Mackenzie and her group see you chase after girls! I’ve had a left that Nathan laughed and teased. “Haha, Master. It’s really interesting to of girlfriends, but none of them were as exciting as you and Mistress!” Emmanuel glared at him angrily and said, “How dare you say that?! Isn’t it because of your promiscuity novelbin that we ended up in this situation today?!” Nathan shrugged innocently while wearing a look of innocence on his face!
He had even helped Mackenzie before. He was a positive character, so how did he become the target of their criticism?
Emmanuel couldn’t be bothered with him and quickly went to change his clothes and remove his mask before entering the venue to find Mackenzie.
“Mackenzie!” Suddenly, a familiar shout came from behind Mackenzie.
She turned around and saw that it was her husband, Emmanuel.
Mackenzie breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, but when Emmanuel smiled and ran up to her, her heart tightened inexplicably again.
“Mackenzie, why are you here too?” “Hehe… Ms. Quillen is here because she’s worried that you’ll get into another fight in the ring, so she wants to keep an eye on you!” Lexi immediately teased the couple.
Emmanuel laughed and said, “There’s still a few days until the Quillen family’s turn. I won’t be going up on the stage Emmanuel laughed and said, “There’s still a few days until the Quillen family’s turn. I won’t be going up on the stage tonight. I’m just here to gather some information!” “Have you gathered enough?” Mackenzie suddenly spoke up.
“Huh? Uh… Yes!” Emmanuel hesitated for a moment, nodded, and wondered why his wife seemed so preoccupied.
“Let’s go then. You can drive me!” Mackenzie said and started walking.
Emmanuel quickly followed.
Once outside, Mackenzie asked Lexi and the bodyguards to go back first and had Emmanuel drive her to a residential area.
At the Yociam Residence in Onza.
Upon entering, Emmanuel was also surprised and said with a smile, “Mackenzie, why is this residential area so similar to the one in Yeringham?” Mackenzie glanced at him and said, “This is a residential area built by the same developer, you fool!” “Haha! Vam a fool!” He scratched his head and laughed. In fact, he did it on purpose because she hadn’t said much on the way back, so he used this method to open up the conversation.
“This is the new property I had Lexi help me buy. From now on, we’ll live here as we establish ourselves in Onza,” Mackenzie said as she walked toward the elevator with Emmanuel.
To their surprise, they ended up in Building B, Apartment 1701 again!
“Not many people in Onza know me, so let’s keep a low profile and continue liv a quiet life,” she said.
During the recent period, both she and the Quillen family had experienced a great deal of turmoil. She was feeling a bit worn out and hoped that coming to Onza would provide some relaxation.
“All right.” Emmanuel nodded in agreement.
Deep down, both of them knew that the Quillen family’s responsibilities would only increase in the future, and the weight on their shoulders would become heavier. Their days would certainly not be peaceful. However, they longed for the tranquility of an ordinary couple when it was just the two of them.
Upon arriving home, Mackenzie immediately went to take a shower.
Emmanuel carefully examined the house and realized that its structure was similar to their small home in Yeringham!
Seeing this environment reminded him of the first time he lived together with Mackenzie. He returned from shopping and went straight to the bathroom, only to unexpectedly catch a glimpse of his wife’s artistic body… That moment completely cured his years of erectile dysfunction!
In the blink of an eye, 200 days had passed. He never imagined that his relationship with this cold beauty would develop to this extent, and they even shared intimate moments together.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1320-Mackenzie’s Questions Emmanuel was lost in his thoughts and became somewhat obsessed until a fragrant scent reached his nose.
“What are you doing?” “Huh? I… I was reminiscing about the past!” Emmanuel confessed to Mackenzie, only to realize that she was wearing a tight white tank top with hot pants. There was no bra underneath, accentuating her perfect figure. Her straight and long legs glistened like water droplets, making her incredibly alluring.
Emmanuel couldn’t help but feel breathless.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie had something on her mind and didn’t notice his gaze. She was using a towel to dry her still-damp black hair.
In fact, her beauty was not just about her body. Her black hair was also incredibly smooth and shiny.
She possessed a beauty and allure that ordinary people lacked.
Many people might not be able to tell the difference between the previous fake Mackenzie, but Emmanuel could see it at a glance. After all, appearances could be altered, but certain details were difficult to replicate, such as her hair.
All these details combined to form a person’s temperament.
Temperament could not be imitated.
“Why have you been staring at me?” Mackenzie finally noticed Emmanuel’s gaze.
“Uh, nothing… You’re just too beautiful, so I couldn’t help but take another look! By the way, are you hungry? Shall I make something for you to eat?” Emmanuel quickly lowered his gaze and felt a bit embarrassed that his wife had caught him staring.
“No need!” Mackenzie said, and she walked over unexpectedly before instructing, “Hold me!” “I…” Emmanuel was a little taken aback and felt that his wife had become unusual again tonight, but he quickly embraced her gently.
“Emmanuel, you are not allowed to leave me easily without my permission in the future! Do you understand?” Although it was a very ambiguous statement, she said it with great authority.
His face showed a mixture of happiness and bitterness. “Okay, but why is that?” Mackenzie thought of the man with the wolf face again and sighed lightly on Emmanuel’s shoulder but did not tell him the reason.
She was afraid that he would find out that his wife had been kissed and touched by another man.
Perhaps all men would find it difficult to accept, especially within marriage.
She was afraid that he would find out that his wife had been kissed and touched by another man.
Perhaps all men would find it difficult to accept, especially within marriage.
But after a while, Mackenzie decided to say, “Emmanuel, I have two questions for you. You must answer me honestly. If you lie, I will ignore you for a month!” “I…” Emmanuel smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect his wife to have this side to her. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly asked, “What is it?” “If!” Mackenzie said before taking a deep breath and then asked in one breath, “If I have been kissed by another man, and it happened within our marriage, what would you do?” Emmanuel suddenly trembled, as if he had turned into a wooden statue for a moment.
After a while, he supported Mackenzie’s fragrant shoulder gently and asked with hidden resentment, “Who dares to disrespect you? I will never let him go!” Mackenzie didn’t know whether to be happy or worried about his reaction. However, she still tried to restrain her emotions and added expressionlessly, “I was in danger in Yeternia. A man saved me by pressing on my chest and giving me artificial respiration… I’m sorry. I didn’t want to tell you, but I couldn’t hold it in. It’s like there’s a thorn in my heart!” Emmanuel hesitated. “Um…” He was a bit speechless.
Didn’t he already know about this? Why did she bring it up again?
Mackenzie only needed to control her emotions, but he had to control his expression to conceal everything so that his clever wife wouldn’t notice any flaws and discover his true identity.
He felt really trapped right now!
If it weren’t for the collaboration with Diamond Titan Military Technologies and the directive from his superior, who explicitly instructed him never to reveal his identity, he would have desired to confess to his wife!
A soldier’s duty was to follow orders!
Wolf Warriors were even willing to sacrifice his life for the mission in the Northern Region!
As he contemplated avenging his fallen comrades and recalled his superior’s instructions, he knew he couldn’t disclose his identity and had to suppress all his emotions… “Don’t you mind? Aren’t you angry?” novelbin Mackenzie looked at his indifferent response with dissatisfaction and interrogated him coldly!
“Of course, I mind. Of course… I’m a little angry!” Emmanuel’s emotions flared up quickly and intensely!
