Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1331-Training “Is this how you ask for help?” Emmanuel énjoyed provoking Ashton.
First impressions were hard to change, especially when Ashton first met him and tore up the clothes Mackenzie gave him. It was difficult for her to have a positive attitude toward him.
“Master, please! Teach me quickly! Time is running out!” Ashton, who had a bad temper, was eventually softened by Emmanuel and started begging. She was willing to do anything to seek a breakthrough!
Emmanuel was kind-hearted. Upon seeing her change in attitude and since he had agreed to teach her, he decided to do so!
“If you want to use internal strength, you must have some understanding of energy.” “Energy?”- “Yes. The sinking of energy, the circulation of energy in the havel. You should be familiar with these terms, right?” “I’ve heard of them, but are they real?” Ashton knew they were real, but she still asked because she had never experienced these mysterious things!
“Of course they are real. Let me show you!” Sage couldn’t provide this to Ashton, but Emmanuel could.
Now that Ashton was dressed like this, it was convenient for him to demonstrate. He directly pressed two acupoints on her lower abdomen.
Although it was fleeting, she actually felt two streams of heat churning in her lower abdomen!
“This… This is the energy inside my body?” “That’s right!” Emmanuel saw her expression and knew that she had felt it!
He continued to guide her. “If you can release this energy, it’s called internal strength in the martial arts world. Most people can’t do it because their bodies lack this energy, and their bodies haven’t undergone special training, so they might not be able to handle it. But your physical condition should be completely capable!” “Really? Let me try!” Ashton was extremely excited and immediately began to attempt it, but still couldn’t figure it out. / “No. I have to teach you the method!” Emmanuel had no choice but to explain while gesturing to the acupoints on his own body with his fingers.
But no matter how they discussed it, Ashton still couldn’t grasp the concept. In her desperation, she grabbed his hand and started poking herself!
Now she was any mappropriate veya uy the exchange vi cuye between lic and women, so he hesitated to touch her body. But since Ashton was grabbing his hand and poking her own body, he didn’t feel awkward anymore!
After all, he used to be a gynecologist!
What kind of woman’s body hadn’t he seen?
What kind of woman’s body hadn’t he touched?
It was just that Ashton had a great figure, and most of the acupoints were located on her torso. Her prominent breasts were getting in the way! He sometimes didn’t know how to poke her acupoints, especially with a layer of clothing in between.
“How about I take off this shirt?” Ashton was on the verge of comprehension, just a little bit away from the feeling she needed. It was truly frustrating!
Emmanuel wanted to decline, but this martial arts enthusiast actually took off her shirt, and then a pair of impressive assets popped out!
It’s much bigger than Mackenzie’s!
However, he swore on his conscience that they were not as attractive as Mackenzie’s. She looked just like any other female patient he had seen before, and he felt no particular attraction toward her.
Emmanuel shook his head in disbelief. This physique was definitely not suitable for martial arts! Why didn’t she consider becoming a model instead?
However, she insisted on training, and now that she had come this far, he had no choice but to continue teaching her reluctantly.
An hour later.
Althea was growing extremely impatient as she waited at the entrance of the neighborhood!
She had considered leaving on multiple occasions, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.
She attempted to call Ashton, but her phone was in silent mode, and she didn’t have the time to answer!
“What in the world are they doing upstairs?” Althea couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild.
Did Ashton know that the man was married? Was she really going to be a third party by taking advantage of someone else’s absence and engaging in an affair with their husband?
“No! Ashton would never do something like that!” Althea firmly believed that she knew her daughter best as a mother. Despite Ashton’s rebellious and self-centered nature, she was certainly not a woman with distorted values.
However, in the next moment, Ashton descended from upstairs covered in sweat, and she had a satisfied expression on her face as she exited the door. Her demeanor resembled that of someone who had just ovnorianced intenca nhucical activity and felt fulfilled
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1332 -Love Tangles in Onza What was happening??
Even Althea’s driver was bewildered. What exciting thing did Ashton just do?
“Madam, should I stop Miss Summerton?” the bodyguard asked when he noticed that Ashton was too excited and not paying attention to their car. novelbin Althea’s face was gloomy, but she still shook her head!
She had to keep her family matters private. She knew that qutsiders would find out if she scolded Ashton here. It would only tarnish the reputation of the Summerton family. She would educate her disappointing daughter when they got back home!
“D*mn it! I won’t let the Lowe family off the hook! Just wait! Althea gritted her teeth and said before instructing the driver to drive home.
What kind of curse had the Summerton family brought upon themselves?
Julian being dumped by Roselynn and falling apart was bad enough, but now Ashton’s behavior was outrageous. She even went to Emmanuel’s place willingly!
If this got out, the ancestors of the Summerton family would be embarrassed!!
On the other hand, as the hub for the collaboration between Diamond Titan Military Technologies and Terence Group, M&L Group was under the watchful eye of Shane, the project manager. He definitely had to keep an eye on Terence Group’s progress.
Last night, he was called by Emmanuel to discuss matters and didn’t have time to message Beatrix.
So, early this morning, he couldn’t wait to call his beloved and make up for the lost feeling of love from yesterday!
As for Beatrix, she also arrived in Onza yesterday. As the project manager for the Titan Group project, she had to quickly follow up on the new factory’s affairs.
Frederick had conducted an investigation and discovered that there was a similar factory available for acquisition in the southern district of Onza. They were going to negotiate the purchase today.
At this moment, Frederick went ahead to the factory to discuss matters with the other party, while Beatrix coincidentally received a call from Shane.
Upon seeing the caller ID, she actually didn’t want to answer, but since she was in charge of the project, she had no choice but to pick up the call reluctantly.
Sure enough, Shane, who was on the other end, said, “Dear, do you miss me?” What the heck!
Beatrix got goosebumps instantly, but in order to cooperate, she suppressed her temper and asked, “Mr. Murphy, what can I do for you?” Huh? Mr. Murphy?
Why did she address him so formally? Clearly, when they exchanged messages, she would address him sweetly!
After a moment of confusion, Shane immediately understood that there must be someone with Beatrix, and she felt embarrassed to be affectionate with him.
Beatrix got goosebumps instantly, but in order to cooperate, she suppressed her temper and asked, “Mr. Murphy, what can I do for you?”.
Huh? Mr. Murphy?
Why did she address him so formally? Clearly, when they exchanged messages, she would address him sweetly!
After a moment of confusion, Shane immediately understood that there must be someone with Beatrix, and she felt embarrassed to be affectionate with him.
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to see you. Where are you?” Shane said with a smile.
Beatrix rolled her eyes and replied with patience, “Mr. Murphy, I am currently finalizing the engine power plant, and I am now at the Hadley factory in Onza!” After speaking, she hung up the phone quickly.
She was afraid that if she said too much, she would get even more goosebumps!
Shane was stunned. How could Beatrix be so different when she called compared to when they messaged each other?
Did she have a dual personality?
To test it out, he hurriedly made his way to the Hadley factory while sending a message to ‘Love of Mortals.
“Dear, can you send me a photo? I want to see where you are!” Shane began to doubt whether he had added the wrong person. Otherwise, Beatrix’s attitude on the phone shouldn’t be so cold!
To his surprise, he immediately received a reply from “Love of Mortals,” and the location displayed in the photo indeed showed that “she” was at the Hadley factory!
“There’s no mistake then!” Shane finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Beatrix was indeed the type whose spoken and written expressions were completely different!
Wait!
Shane suddenly noticed some details in the photo. Although the selfie didn’t capture her face, it did capture her wrist, and he couldn’t help but wonder why the hair on her arm was so long.
“Never mind! Never mind!” Fortunately, Shane was someone who knew how to manage his expectations. He muttered to himself, “Even if Beatrix is such a perfect girl, it’s acceptable for her to have slightly longer arm hairs. No one is flawless! It makes her more relatable!” Little did he know, on the other side, Frederick also believed that the “Perfect Couple” was Beatrix, and he even thought that she couldn’t find him in the factory because she had no sense of direction!
He quickly sent another text message, “Dear, where are you now?” Ding dong!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1333-Business Negotiation Shane felt even more relieved upon seeing this message. Beatrix still cared about him!
So, he quickly sent a photo back and replied with a message.
” be in Hadley factory soon!” When Frederick saw this message, he couldn’t help but frown!
Of course, he knew that Beatrix was just outside the Hadley factory gate. He just wanted to know her exact location. Hadn’t she entered yet?
Wait!
Frederick suddenly noticed a problem. Upon taking a closer look at the photos, he exclaimed, “D*mn!
Why does Ms. Beatrix’s arm look a bit big?” No! It’s not just a bit. They are D*mn muscular!
They were bigger than his own arms!!
After thinking for a moment, Frederick suddenly realized! No wonder Beatrix always liked to wear long sleeves. It turned out she wanted to hide the flaw of her big arms.
“Women are never perfect, right? It’s good to have slightly bigger arms. It proves that she’s not spoiled.
That’s great!” Frederick didn’t mind at all. After all, he also came from a rural background and would never look down on a woman with big arms.
“Frederick, what are you talking about?” While Frederick was exchanging flirtatious messages with “Perfect Couple,” Beatrix had already arrived in front of Frederick.
“Haha. I didn’t say anything. Actually, you don’t need to wear long sleeves all the time. You’ll be more beautiful if you have more confidence!” Frederick stared at Beatrix’s shoulders, but no matter how he looked, she didn’t seem like a woman with big arms, right?
Was it a visual distortion in the photo? Or did Beatrix just take a wide-angle shot?
Beatrix noticed that there was something off in his gaze, but Frederick didn’t speak as bluntly as Shane, so she didn’t pay much attention to it and said directly, “Come with me to the director’s office!” “Okay!” Frederick quickly led Beatrix to the office.
They soon arrived at the director’s office, but to their surprise, there were other people inside besides the manager, Izaiah Buckley.
A man was sitting on the sofa with a crew cut. He appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was wearing a high-end suit and had his legs crossed, exuding an air of extreme arrogance!
They soon arrived at the director’s office, but to their surprise, there were other people inside besides the manager, Izaiah Buckley.
A man was sitting on the sofa with a crew cut. He appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was wearing a high-end suit and had his legs crossed, exuding an air of extreme arrogance!
Behind him stood two black-clad bodyguards.
When Beatrix and Frederick walked in, the man’s gaze immediately scrutinized Beatrix from head to toe, displaying a great deal of impoliteness!
Beatrix didn’t know him and naturally didn’t want to pay him any mind. Instead, she greeted Izaiah directly, “Mr. Buckley, I’m Beatrix from Terence Group. I’m here to discuss business with you!” She had made an appointment with the Hadley factory’s side in advance, and this was the agreed- upon time.
Izaiah’s secretary led them in, but she was unaware that there were other guests in Izaiah’s office.
“Ms. Beatrix, you’re here? I have an unexpected important guest here, so please wait outside for a moment!” Izaiah’s tone was cold and devoid of any apology.
Frederick immediately became displeased and exclaimed loudly, “Mr. Buckley, we had an appointment.
Shouldn’t you have entertained us first before receiving unexpected guests?” Beatrix was also a fiery character and felt that Izaiah’s behavior was a bit excessive!
However, she was still the project leader, and her sister had repeatedly warned her that this project must not go wrong, so she restrained her temper.
“This is still my factory. I will receive whoever I want to receive. If you want to wait, wait then. If not, get out!” Izaiah exploded with profanity.
Beatrix and Frederick were stunned and felt a bit puzzled.
When they communicated with Izaiah before, he didn’t have this attitude!
Their factory was not performing well, and they were eager to sell it. Izaiah had a very positive attitude when inviting them for negotiations. However, to their surprise, he seemed like a completely different person after the first meeting!
Little did they know that the shareholder behind this factory was the Summerton family.
The Summerton family had previously collaborated with the Quillen family in Yeringham, so Izaiah naturally had a favorable attitude toward the Quillen family’s business.
However, just two days ago, Althea discovered that her son was infatuated with Roselynn, and Ashton willingly offered herself to Emmanuel. Althea was furious and declared that she would terminate all cooperation with the Quillen family.
Therefore, an hour ago, Izaiah received the news. It was impossible for him to show a friendly face to the representatives of the Quillen family.
“Forget it, Frederick. Let’s wait outside for a while!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1334-Aidan Tanner Beatrix recalled Mackenzie’s advice once again. Now, Terence Group urgently needed to establish a factory in Onza, and acquiring the Hadley factory was the best choice. She couldn’t let her anger get the better of her and ruin the situation!
Doing business truly tests a person’s patience. The once sharp-tongued girl from her school days was gradually learning to adapt.
However, when they turned around, the man with a crew cut sitting on the sofa suddenly smirked. “Ms.
Beatrix, right? I think you don’t need to wait anymore. The Hadley factory has been acquired by the Tanner Family!” “What?” Beatrix was shocked and turned her head to stare at the man with a crew cut.
Tanner Family?
Which Tanner Family is he talking about?
If they couldn’t acquire this factory, it would likely affect the progress of Terence Group and Diamond Titan Military Technologies’ project!
“Mr. Buckley, what you’re doing is rather unscrupulous, don’t you think?” Frederick quickly spoke up for Beatrix in anger. “We clearly made an appointment to discuss the acquisition of the Hadley factory first. And now you’re selling it to someone else at the last minute? Is this how you do business?” “Hmph, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?” Izaiah immediately retorted, looking down on this man who looked like a mere worker.
“He is the project assistant of Terence Group. Mr. Buckley, it would be best if you spoke more politely!” Beatrix couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke up to support Frederick. Frederick was now her subordinate, and as the boss, she had to protect her employees!
Frederick was deeply moved. It seems that Ms. Beatrix truly cares for me. I vow to serve you faithfully!
“Hmph, Terence Group? We’re not in Yeringham! To my young master, the Quillen family is nothing!” Izaiah even looked down upon Beatrix.
Upon hearing this, Beatrix was shocked. She knew that this factory was one of the industries under the Summerton family. She had even paid a deposit in advance for the acquisition, so she thought it was only natural to come and finalize the deal today. But she never expected to be treated with such coldness and hear such harsh words.
Has the Quillen family’s influence in Onza declined?
“I’ll have you know, this man right here is the young master of the Tanner family of Onza, Aidan Tanner!
The Tanner family of Onza is one of the top twenty official members of the Chamber of Commerce, with a much higher status than your Quillen family!” Izaiah confidently continued, “The Chanaea Chamber of Commerce has regulations that prioritize transactions between its members. What right does the Quillen family have to make a fuss here?” novelbin This barrage of words left Beatrix, who lacked experience in business negotiations, dumbfounded on the spot.
Has the Quillen fámily’s influence in Onza declined?
“I’ll have you know, this man right here is the young master of the Tanner family of Onza, Aidan Tanner!
The Tanner family of Onza is one of the top twenty official members of the Chamber of Commerce, with a much higher status than your Quillen family!” Izaiah confidently continued, “The Chanaea Chamber of Commerce has regulations that prioritize transactions between its members. What right does the Quillen family have to make a fuss here?” This barrage of words left Beatrix, who lacked experience in business negotiations, dumbfounded on the spot.
“Ms. Beatrix, let’s go!” Frederick wasn’t without his pride. Instead of staying in such a place and continuing to be humiliated, it would be better to leave decisively.
In the past, Beatrix would have definitely cursed Izaiah and splashed water on him with an arrogant demeanor before leaving.
But those were merely stereotypical plotlines of web novels and dramas. She couldn’t possibly do it in real life!
She was no longer the willful little princess of the Quillen family, and she had outgrown the age of causing trouble and rebellion.
Mackenzie had entrusted her with an important task, and now, implementing the factory and production line was the first step. She couldn’t afford to make any mistakes at this crucial stage, as it would then affect the entire project timeline!
“Mr. Buckley, the Quillen family is sincerely interested in acquiring the Hadley factory. Perhaps, in terms of price, we can increase it by another three percent?” Seeing that Beatrix not only didn’t leave in anger but also wanted to offer Izaiah some concessions, Frederick was naturally enraged!
However, he could sense the immense pressure weighing on Beatrix’s shoulders. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and maintained his silence so as not to jeopardize Beatrix’s grand plan.
“Ms. Beatrix, do you still not comprehend the situation? This is not about money but about social standing. Stop embarrassing yourself!” Although Izaiah’s demeanor was not as dreadful, his words still stung.
For the first time, Beatrix realized how big of an impact the decision not to join the Chamber of Commerce had on the Quillen family’s business!
Without the backing of the Chamber of Commerce, making any progress after departing from Yeringham seemed incredibly arduous!
It was no wonder that, despite decades of development, the Quillen family still clung to their modest piece of land in Yeringham.
Chanaea was a vast place, and the Quillen family, in comparison, was nothing but a tiny family amongst many other families!
Just as she was on the verge of giving up and departing, she heard a burst of triumphant laughter coming from behind.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1335-Shane to the Rescue “Hehe, Ms. Beatrix, do you urgently need to establish a factory production line in Onza? I might be able to assist you with that!” Beatrix, her eyes shining with hope, quickly turned around.
Aidan stared at her youthful face and ample bosom, a malicious smile on his face. “I want you to serve me tonight and do as I say. Once I’m satisfied, I’ll give you this factory tomorrow. How does that sound?” What?!
Frederick was filled with anger, and he erupted like a volcano! How dare this b*stard speak to Ms.
Beatrix in such a manner! Unforgivable!
But before Frederick could rush over and fight with Aidan, Beatrix quickly walked toward him.
The smile on Aidan’s face became increasingly smug.
For a second, he thought Beatrix of the prestigious Quillen family would submit to his tyranny and become his b*tch.
However, in the next moment… Splash!
Beatrix directly picked up the boiling water on the table and splashed it in his face!
“Ah! Aaaah!” Aidan jumped up in pain, letting out a strange cry.
“Hmph, how dare you speak to me like that? You’ve picked the wrong person! We Yeringham people are not to be trifled with!” novelbin Beatrix, full of anger, smashed the cup and turned to leave, once again revealing her fiery nature.
“D*mn it! Catch her! I will torture her to death!” Aidan, furious and feeling humiliated, shouted.
Two black-clad bodyguards immediately took action.
Frederick quickly spread his arms, ready to fight for Beatrix!
But he was not Emmanuel after all. Instead of easily defeating the enemy within several moves, he was quickly overpowered by the two opponents!
“Hehe, nothing but trash!” Aldan looked down on Beatrix even more now. All members of the Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t go out without having highly skilled bodyguards protecting them.
The Quillens are nothing but a bunch of trash. How dare Beatrix step out of her house bringing such a weakling? Who could he ever hope to protect?
Little did they know that although Frederick was weak, he was not afraid of death. Even after falling to the ground, he lunged forward and tightly clung to the legs of the two bodyguards, shouting, “Ms.
Beatrix, you go first; don’t worry about me!” But she wasn’t heartless. Seeing Frederick fighting tirelessly to protect her, she couldn’t just leave him behind and “Hold it right there. You wanna leave? What a joke!” Aidan had already blocked Beatrix’s path.
Slap!
Before Beatrix could react, she was harshly slapped by this tall man and fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
The female secretary looked at Aidan, her expression filled with panic! Ms. Beatrix is a member of the Quillen family of Yeringham. If something happens to her here, the Quillens will definitely go mad!
However, Izaiah still ordered, “Let’s go. This is none of our business!” Putting aside the fact he had received instructions from Althea to terminate the cooperation with the Quillen family, just comparing the business standing of the Quillen family and the Tanner family, it was clear which side the Summerton family should stand with.
One was one of the top twenty official members of the Chamber of Commerce and also a close relative of the Tanner family of Zovince.
The other was just a family of Yeringham, who was not even a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
What could they do to compete with the Tanner family?
“You wench, I’ve given you enough chances. I’ll leash you up and take you back, and then I’ll teach you some proper lessons!” After Aidan finished speaking, he specifically instructed his subordinates to bring a dog collar, ready to fasten it around Beatrix’s neck.
Beatrix tried to resist, but Aidan stepped on her back and prevented her from turning over!
“Stop it, you savage!” Frederick wanted to rush over to protect Beatrix, but he was firmly held down by the two bodyguards and couldn’t do anything to assist.
Meanwhile, outside the factory.
Shane had already dismounted his second-hand mountain bike and registered himself at the security gate. He couldn’t wait to enter and find his dear Beatrix.
But to his surprise, as soon as he arrived outside Izaiah’s office, he saw a group of people guarding the entrance. He couldn’t help but be astonished. What’s going on?
In the next moment, he heard a familiar scream coming from inside the office.
“No! Let go of me! You despicable person!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1336-Who's bullying my woman?.
They must be asking for trouble!
Shane rushed in without hesitation. The people outside couldn’t stop him, a martial arts expert, and he easily shoved them aside. “My dear!” Shane kicked open the office door, and when he saw what was happening inside, he couldn't contain his anger. His eyes were blazing with rage!
Aman with a crew cut was stepping on his woman, and he had a collar around her neck! Shane wanted to deal with him in the most brutal way possible to vent his anger. When Frederick saw Shane arrive, he didn’t care how he got there and quickly shouted, “Quick! Save Ms. Beatrix!” Aidan was very unhappy that someone interrupted him. He turned around and stared at Shane, asking fiercely, “Who the hell are you?” “You son of a b*tch!” Shane roared, using his body as a weapon and rolling toward Aidan to knock him away! Aidan was shocked. Who is this weird fatso? What kind of attack is that? His two bodyguards quickly let go of Frederick and came over to protect Aidan.
But they had never seen such a strange martial artist before. Shane actually curled up his limbs and rolled toward them like a ball!
In such a critical moment, the two bodyguards didn’t have time to think. They each lifted a leg, trying to kick Shane away like a football.
Unexpectedly, when their shins kicked against Shane, it felt as if they had kicked a boulder, and there was an immediate cracking sound as their bones broke!
“Aaaah!” The two bodyguards screamed in succession, clutching their legs and jumping around!
We were careless! We should’ve dodged!
Aidan was frightened by the sight and quickly let go of Beatrix, hastily dodging to the other side. “My dear, are you okay?”novelbin Shane quickly helped Beatrix up.
Beatrix’s injuries were actually not severe, but the humiliation she suffered had deeply traumatized her, making it something she would never be able to let go of in her lifetime!
Throughout the years she stayed in Yeringham, nobody dared to treat her like this.
Because of her overwhelming anger, she didn’t even hear how Shane addressed her, and she didn’t respond at all! “My dear, are you okay?” Shane quickly helped Beatrix up.
Beatrix’s injuries were actually not severe, but the humiliation she suffered had deeply traumatized her, making it something she would never be able to let go of in her lifetime!
Throughout the years she stayed in Yeringham, nobody dared to treat her like this.
Because of her overwhelming anger, she didn’t even hear how Shane addressed her, and she didn’t respond at all!
“Ah! Mr. Tanner, are you okay?” Izaiah, who was guarding outside, heard the commotion inside and quickly led his men in to protect Aidan.
When Beatrix was being abused just now, he didn’t care, but now that he saw someone coming to protect Beatrix and potentially harm Aidan, he immediately shouted, “How dare you cause trouble on my territory? Hurry up and protect Mr. Tanner!” The Tanner family of Onza was not only a member of the Chamber of Commerce but also a relative of the Tanner family of Zovince. They had great influence and deep background, and they absolutely couldn’t let Aidan be bullied at the Hadley factory.
Beatrix was infuriated! She pointed a finger at Aidan, then at Izaiah, her delicate body trembling. She was so angry that she couldn’t speak!
Back when she was in Yeringham, she had never been treated like this before, and even if she had, she was never on the receiving end. Now, after only two days in Onza, she was subjected to such deep humiliation and mistreatment, something she had never even dreamed of before!
Once she left Yeringham, the Quillen family would lose all its power, like nobles demoted to commoners and angels falling from grace. The true aristocrats in Chanaéa were the members of the Chamber of Commerce, who received special treatment as if they were royal family members!
“Don't be afraid! Whoever dares to lay a hand on you, I'll make them regret ever being born!” Shane stood by Beatrix’s side, angrily pointing at the group of people across from them.
Although Frederick had no martial arts skills, he also stood in front of Beatrix with an unwavering gaze, ready to face death! Both of them vowed to protect their “girlfriend” at any cost!
Simultaneously, they both believed that the other had a strong sense of righteousness. Despite their frequent arguments, they were willing to put their lives on the line for their significant other. They were truly like brothers!
“Hey, is that fatso a fighter from the Quillen family? Not bad at all!” Aidan, hiding behind Izaiah and others, continued to provoke, “Consider yourselves fortunate today, as | didn’t bring the fighter from the Tanner family with me, only two useless individuals! But the next time we cross paths, | will ensure you experience true suffering! | will have you on a leash, crawling on the ground! Hehe…” Those familiar with Aidan knew that this flamboyant young man was highly competitive, always acting like a tyrant in Onza.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1337-They were in the middle of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown. If he were to suffer a humiliating defeat today, he couldn't possibly just leave in disgrace.
Though his words infuriated Shane! “You son of a b*tch! Watch that filthy mouth of yours! | won't let you off, you brute!” Shane roared and charged straight at him, disregarding anyone in his path. Today, he was determined to defeat Aidan, even if it meant taking on Jesus himself.
Realizing the unfavorable situation, Aidan took advantage of Izaiah’s men to block Shane and swiftly attempted to retreat. “What the f*ck? You think you can escape? Not so fast!” To his surprise, Frederick, the usually mild-mannered boy next door, threw caution to the wind and pounced on Aidan as he tried to flee. He tackled Aidan to the ground and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks.
“How dare you bully Ms. Beatrix? I'll teach you a lesson!
“I'll beat you so hard you’d wish you had never been born!
“Go to hell!” Frederick went berserk, treating Aidan like a punching bag and even stomping on his groin.
He wouldn’t let anyone who dared to bully his woman get away with it!
“Ow.” Aidan let out a strange cry, his face turning purple and blue from the pain!
Beatrix watched as these two men from Hero’s Village fought fiercely to defend her honor, and she finally felt relieved! What's so impressive about you, Aidan?
So what if your family is a member of the Chamber of Commerce? Do you think you’re superior? You're getting beaten to a pulp anyway!
“Police! Call the police!” Izaiah was terrified. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to protect Aidan, but he simply couldn’t!
In the evening, Emmanuel drove to the branch office to pick up Mackenzie.
Mackenzie seemed to have just received a phone call. As soon as she got in the car, she said to Emmanuel, “Head to the police station in Onza’s south district first!” Emmanuel was slightly taken aback and had a bad feeling about this. “Why are we going there?” “Beatrix, Frederick, and Shane got arrested for assaulting the young master of the Tanner family,” Mackenzie said. “Beatrix, Frederick, and Shane got arrested for assaulting the young master of the Tanner family,” Mackenzie said.
As soon as Mackenzie said this, Emmanuel had a gut feeling that Shane must have picked the fight! Otherwise, with Beatrix and Frederick's fighting capacity, they wouldn’t have been capable of attacking someone. They would probably get beaten up instead.
Soon, Emmanuel and Mackenzie arrived at the police station. Since they weren't in Yeringham, they had to go through the procedures step by step.
It wasn’t until late at night that the couple completed the bail process for Beatrix and the others. However, they had been waiting in the lobby for a long time and still hadn’t seen them being released.
Mackenzie checked the time again and couldn't sit still. She wondered if the Tanner family had done something behind the scenes. Otherwise, there was no reason for them to delay the release!
Emmanuel immediately stood up and said, “Don’t worry, Mackenzie. I'll go in and find out what’s going on.” Mackenzie nodded. She was concerned that Beatrix would face unnecessary hardships inside, especially since she had more experience in society and knew more things.
Emmanuel approached the door but was stopped by two men.
“I'm sorry, but you cannot go in!” “We've already completed the procedures. How much longer do you expect us to wait? What's the situation inside?” Emmanuel had already decided that if these two men were to act unreasonably, he wouldn't hold back either. He was prepared to settle things with his fists!
“You just have to keep waiting. What's all this nonsense coming from? If you can’t wait, then get lost!” The two men sneered. Did they really think they could offend the Tanner family of Onza without facing any consequences? What a joke!novelbin Emmanuel was prepared to force his way in. As the Northern Region Wolf Warrior, nobody could stop him from going where he wanted!
“Emmanuel, don’t act recklessly!” At that moment, Ashton’s voice came from behind.
The two men who had just dissed Emmanuel immediately saluted respectfully and exclaimed loudly, “O-Officer Summerton?!” The two men were quite surprised. Isn’t Officer Summerton supposed to report for duty tomorrow? Why is she here tonight?
Mackenzie regarded Ashton in a new light. Did this woman get promoted again? Despite her young age, she has managed to achieve such a position. Truly impressive!
Ashton couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. What she desired most was to impress Emmanuel and Mackenzie, and now she had the opportunity, Ashton sternly commanded, “They are my friends. Don’t give them a hard time!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1338-“Reporting to Officer Summerton, we are just following protocol.” The two men spoke without displaying any emotions. Ashton turned around and said to Emmanuel, “I'll go inside and take a look. You guys wait here.” Emmanuel nodded. He used to dislike Ashton when they were enemies, but now that they were on the same side, she might turn out to be quite reliable!
Ashton quickly walked inside with long strides.
Although she still didn’t like Mackenzie, her feelings toward Emmanuel had changed from disgust to admiration, especially after he helped her break through her internal strength. She was grateful to him, and she would definitely help him with his matters!
Tonight, she had originally planned to go home, but Emmanuel told her that his sister-in-law and her friends were suddenly brought here, so she changed her route and rushed over.
Upon entering, she realized that Beatrix and the other two were still locked in the interrogation room, and no one had informed them that they could leave.
“What's happening here?” Ashton immediately questioned one of the officers outside the door.
The person in charge here was named Toby Woods. When he saw Ashton, he was surprised. Looking agitated, he walked over. “Miss Summerton, why are you here?” “It's Officer Summerton for you!” Ashton was very dissatisfied with him addressing her that way, and she put on a proud face, even though this man was a distant relative of the Summerton family.
“Reporting to Miss- | mean, Officer Summerton, this is Madam Althea’s decision!” Toby said softly. “My mother?” Ashton was surprised. “Why would she do this?” As far as Ashton could recall, the Summerton family should have no grudges against the Quillen family. Her brother, Julian, even went to Yeringham to pursue Roselynn Because of that, the Summerton family and the Quillen family had even collaborated on some small projects.
But now, Mom actually wants to deal with people from the Quillen family? What's going on?!
“Officer Summerton, | don’t have the answer to that,” Toby said, sounding unsure. But then he whispered, “Maybe it's related to the Tanner family of Onza?” Ashton thought his speculation made sense. Although the Quillen family is the richest in Yeringham and holds great power there, they are no match for the Tanner family of Onza, which has the support of the Tanner family of Zovince.
“Alright, | get it. Now let them go!” Ashton didn’t want to waste any more time and immediately gave the order.
“R-Right!” Toby nodded.
“Alright, | get it. Now let them go!” Ashton didn’t want to waste any more time and immediately gave the order.
“R-Right!” Toby nodded.
Soon, Beatrix and the other two came out.
The two who had just mocked Emmanuel had a sudden change of expression. It was a slap in the face!
They couldn't understand why. Why is Officer Summerton helping the Quillen family? Clearly, Madam Althea wants to make things difficult for them!
Besides, Mr. Aidan got beaten up badly. Officer Summerton’s actions are undoubtedly disrespectful to the Tanner family. It would surely lead to a feud.
“Mackenzie!” As soon as Beatrix saw Mackenzie, she immediately rushed over with a look of grievance, her big eyes seemingly on the verge of tears.
Although Mackenzie wanted to ask why they had fought with Aidan from the Tanner family, she knew this wasn’t the place to talk, so she immediately said, “Stop crying. We'll talk about it later!” Emmanuel, too, wasn’t in a hurry to ask Shane and Frederick about it. Instead, he followed them out.
When they reached the door, he turned back and said to Ashton, who had just come out, “Thanks for your help.” Ashton thought that this guy had forgotten about her again and was feeling miffed. But when she heard him say thank you, her anger instantly dissipated, and she deliberately turned her head the other way. “Hmph, who cares about your thanks? I’m just doing my job!” Emmanuel casually smiled and followed Mackenzie and the others as they left.
Only then did Ashton slowly lower her proud head, experiencing a strange sense of joy in her heart. This is the first time Emmanuel said thanks to me.
“Weird, why am | feeling happy because of that guy’s words? That's so odd,” Ashton muttered to herself before leaving the police station.
Come to think of it, she hadn’t been home for several months. The last time she had visited was during New Year’s, and she hurriedly returned to Yeringham the day after that.
“Ash!” Ashton had just stepped into the villa when she heard an excited voice.
“Julian?!” Ashton saw the man in front of her and froze in place.
| can’t believe it. Julian actually cut the long hair that he had kept for 20 years?!
She still remembered when they were young, Althea had cut his hair short and he had cried for a long time!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1339-Unexpectedly, Julian even adjusted his hairstyle and proudly asked, “What do you think? Don’t | look way more energetic now? “Julian, did you hit your head somewhere?” Ashton stretched out her hand in astonishment and pulled at the man’s face in front of her, wanting to see if he was an imposter.
When they met in Yeringham a while ago, he was drunk every day, as if he had lost his soul. She heard it was the same when he returned to Onza. How did he suddenly become so spirited now?
This is unbelievable! Could it be that he is being impersonated, just like Mackenzie before? “Ouch, what are you doing? It hurts!” Julian quickly pushed her hand away and said, “I’m going to continue pursuing my Hestia. She said she doesn’t like men with long hair, so | cut my hair!” Tsk tsk. Ashton couldn’t help but exclaim, “The power of love is truly amazing!” “Indeed! Ash, will you cheer for me?” After talking with Emmanuel, Julian was now full of determination. Since Emmanuel had agreed to help him pursue Roselynn in the future, he had to give it his all!
“Of course!” Ashton even high-fived Julian.
She used to dislike Emmanuel and naturally didn’t support Julian pursuing his sister. But things were different now! Emmanuel not only saved her life but also helped her solve multiple cases. He even helped her break through her internal strength. Her fondness for Emmanuel simply skyrocketed.
If Julian marries Roselynn, wouldn’t | become Emmanue''s sister-in-law?
Just the thought of it makes me happy.
“Alright, with your support, | will do my best!” Julian was brimming with determination, But as soon as he turned around, he saw Althea’s cold face “Uh, Mom? Are you here to welcome Ash home, too?” Julian looked at his mother’s face and felt a bit scared subconsciously, but he still took the initiative to ask.
“Hmph!” Althea let out a snort and walked into the house. Julian couldn’t help but sigh. Mom definitely doesn’t like me pursuing Roselynn, so she deliberately gave me a cold look!
“Julian, don’t mind Mom. If you like Roselynn, go ahead and pursue her!” Ashton encouraged Julian, “Life is short, so don’t give up on finding your own happiness because of other people’s opinions!” These words struck a chord with Julian, giving him newfound courage.
“Julian, don’t mind Mom. If you like Roselynn, go ahead and pursue her!” Ashton encouraged Julian, “Life is short, so don’t give up on finding your own happiness because of other people’s opinions!” These words struck a chord with Julian, giving him newfound courage.
Little did they know that even though Althea had entered the villa, she could still hear Ashton’s words. Her face turned red with anger. From the sound of it, Ashton really is shamelessly pursuing Emmanuel, a married man.
What a disaster! How did the Summerton family raise such disobedient children? Each one is more embarrassing than the other!
But she always knew that Ashton had a fiery temper. She didn’t know how to tell her off, and she was afraid of scolding her too harshly in case this rebellious daughter of hers decided not to come home for another year in a fit of anger!
Why is it so difficult to raise children?
However, she didn’t expect that Ashton would come to her room not long after she decided not to go look for her. She knocked on her door.novelbin Althea thought it was Zaiden who had returned, but when she opened the door, she realized it was Ashton standing outside.
“Hmph, | thought you'd forgotten about me, your mother?” Althea pouted, waiting for Ashton to come and soothe her, hoping to calm her anger.
Little did she expect that Ashton would directly question in a cold voice, “Mom, why did you mess with the Quillen family?” Althea immediately turned furious and exclaimed, “What… What did you say?” “You know what I’m talking about.” Ashton had a quick temper. When she saw Althea feigning ignorance like this, it only agitated her emotions further. “Wasn't it you who intentionally caused trouble for the Quillen family?” “Well, well! So you didn’t come home just because of that son-in-law of the Quillen family?” Althea decided to stop beating around the bushes.
“What son-in-law of the Quillen family?” Ashton looked confused. “Stop pretending already.” Ashton thought Althea was feigning ignorance, and Althea thought the same of her. She directly opened the photo gallery on her phone and played a video for her.
Ashton watched it, and her face fell Instantly. “Mom, you've been secretly monitoring me?” “Monitoring? Can’t believe you would use such a word on me!” Althea retorted coldly, “You said you were coming home today, and | was so excited and happy. But no matter how long | waited, you didn’t come back. Only then did | find out that as soon as you came back to Onza, you went looking for Emmanuel in his room! And then you even went to the police station specifically to help the Quillen family. Are you not ashamed? How did we, the Summerton family, raise a shameless daughter like you?”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1340-“What… What are you talking about?” Ashton’s chest heaved with anger. | thought she’s my mother? How could she say things like that? When did I sleep with Emmanuel?
“| wish | was just making this up! But | saw it with my own eyes!” Althea was filled with emotion, her face flushing red as she scolded Ashton harshly, “I didn’t say anything when you slept with Maxwell before. After all, he is from the Zelinsky family, and your relationship with him benefited the Summerton family! But now, look at what you’ve become! When did your father and | ever teach you to be like this? You’re becoming more and more outrageous-”novelbin “Shut up! Just shut up!” Ashton couldn’t bear it any longer and turned around, storming out of the house. Why do | have a mother who would slander her daughter like that?
I've never slept with Maxwell, let alone Emmanuel!
I'm still a virgin!
And Mom's blatant double standards are making me sick!
“Ash?” Zaiden had just returned from a meeting at the company when he heard that Ashton had come back. He was in high spirits and wanted to talk to her, but he didn’t expect to see Ashton about to leave the house in anger.
“What's going on? Ash, you just got home. Are you leaving again?” No matter how Zaiden asked, Ashton remained silent, determined to storm out of the house. “Stop right there!” Finally, Zaiden couldn’t hold back his anger and shouted, stopping the stubborn Ashton.
Ashton finally stopped in her tracks, but she still didn’t want to stay at home. She turned her back to Zaiden and said loudly, “Dad, | hope you can persuade Mom! Children grow up, and their lives should be their own. Tell her not to interfere too much, let alone do anything despicable like breaking up a couple!” After saying that, regardless of how Zaiden called out to her, she just left home. “Sigh…” Zaiden was both angry and helpless. It was all his fault for being too busy managing the Summerton family business since childhood, not having time to discipline the children, and letting them be free-spirited. Now that the children had grown up, they were becoming more and more disobedient, and he was merely reaping what he sowed!
Out of wits, he went back to his room and asked Althea what had happened.
Althea repeated what she had seen, unable to contain her emotions. “Zaiden, do you think I’m wrong as a mother? Am | not doing this for their own good? For the good of the Summerton family?” Zaiden thought that when Ashton said, “breaking up a couple,” she meant breaking up her and Emmanuel, so he Was on the “Sigh…” Zaiden was both angry and helpless. It was all his fault for being too busy managing the Summerton family business since childhood, not having time to discipline the children, and letting them be free-spirited. Now that the children had grown up, they were becoming more and more disobedient, and he was merely reaping what he sowed!
Out of wits, he went back to his room and asked Althea what had happened.
Althea repeated what she had seen, unable to contain her emotions. “Zaiden, do you think I’m wrong as a mother? Am | not doing this for their own good? For the good of the Summerton family?” Zaiden thought that when Ashton said, “breaking up a couple,” she meant breaking up her and Emmanuel, so he was on the same side as Althea.
| will never allow my daughter to become someone’s mistress! Therefore, he gently patted Althea’s shoulder to comfort her. “Alright now, teaching our children will take time. We didn’t doa good job before, so now we have to put in more effort!” Althea was still very dissatisfied and gritted her teeth. “Our children have become like this because of the Lowe siblings. The Quillen family is backing them, right? Since that’s the case, as long as the Quillen family is in Onza, | won't let them live a single day in peace. Only then can | find some peace of mind!” Zaiden was feeling helpless. Although he disagreed with Althea’s actions, he couldn’t stop her. Moreover, the Quillen family had already offended the Tanner family, and the Summerton family had taken a side tonight, so they could only stand firm.
On the other hand, Emmanuel and Mackenzie needed to figure out what had happened today.
Since it was inconvenient to bring everyone home, the couple decided to split up. Emmanuel took Frederick and Shane to the food stalls near Yociam Residence, while Mackenzie took Beatrix home.
“Mackenzie, have we caused a big problem?” Beatrix explained the situation to Mackenzie in detail, and upon seeing Mackenzie’s cold expression, she couldn't help but feel scared.
After all, she had some knowledge about the Tanner family of Onza. They were official members of the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce and were even relatives of Teddy Tanner, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, from the Tanner family of Zovince!
“Don't worry, it’s not your fault.” Mackenzie sighed softly and comforted Beatrix, “You must be tired. Go get some rest. There are vacant rooms in this house” “Okay” Beatrix nodded and stood up, feeling extremely guilty. Mackenzie had entrusted her with an important task, but now she not only failed to acquire the factory but also offended the Tanner family of Onza. It was truly a case of doing more harm than good!
