Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1421-What happened?

In the blink of an eye, Mackenzie had disappeared!

"Mackenzie!"

"Mackenzie, where are you?"

Emmanuel called out for her over and over again, but he did not receive a response. He kept calling until a member of the Wolf Warrior Society hurried over to him.

"Emmanuel, Mackenzie just left in a car by herself!" the person cried out.

"What? Why did she leave by herself?"

Emmanuel was confused and looked unusually agitated.

"I have no idea!"

The Wolf Warrior Society member shook his head.

Emmanuel promptly called Mackenzie. He could not understand why Mackenzie had been acting unusually lately. She no longer seemed as cold and aloof as before, and her emotions were very unpredictable. It would swing wildly between good and bad. Just what went on in her mind?

Meanwhile, Mackenzie had gotten into a taxi when her phone rang with a call from Emmanuel. Her conflicted feelings intensified. It had been very easy for her to catch a taxi from Dark Night Elf, so why did Emmanuel claim he had only let Elena hitch a ride that night because it was difficult for anyone to flag down a taxi from here?

She wanted to confront Emmanuel, but she knew it would only lead to a big fight between them. That was not what she wanted.

Her mind was in shambles. What am I to do now?

At work, she was direct and decisive, but in her marriage, she found it hard to decide anything. Naturally, she fell into this strange cycle.

She wanted to be a generous and open-minded woman who gave her husband the freedom and trust he needed, but small, trivial issues kept cropping up and triggering her. She just could not find it in her to be open-minded.novelbin She did not think Emmanuel and Ashton were having an affair, but what she saw made her very uneasy and distressed.

Lost in her thoughts, she ignored Emmanuel's call.

Emmanuel tried calling her several times, but he couldn't get through to her. Hence, he quickly drove home.

As soon as he opened the door, he found Beatrix lounging around in her pajamas. He hurriedly asked, "Beatrix, has Mackenzie come back?"

Beatrix nodded and asked in confusion, "Emmanuel, did you upset Mackenzie again? Haha! Men really have it hard!"

Emmanuel did not have time to debate with her. It's great that Mackenzie arrived home safe and sound.

He soon burst into Mackenzie's room to find Mackenzie in the shower.

After waiting for almost an hour, Mackenzie finally came out of the bathroom. When she saw Emmanuel anxiously waiting for her, she apologized before he could even speak. "Sorry. I had something to do, so I just came home by myself."

Emmanuel did not get upset. She looked so haggard that he could not help but worriedly ask, "Mackenzie, what's wrong with you? Is there something bothering you?"

Emmanuel did not get upset. She looked so haggard that he could not help but worriedly ask, "Mackenzie, what's wrong with you? Is there something bothering you?"

He had felt that Mackenzie was hiding something from him, and it was something major.

"It's nothing. I'm just a little tired and want to turn in early. Well, goodnight!"

Mackenzie chose not to say anything and headed straight to her room before locking the door behind her.

Emmanuel heaved a heavy sigh as uneasiness filled his heart. Still, as long as she was safe, all problems could be resolved one step at a time.

Early the next morning, Emmanuel and Mackenzie went to work.

They did not speak much during the drive.

As they got out of the car, Emmanuel suddenly received a call from Roselynn.

"Emmanuel, I have to accompany Julian to his grandpa's 80th birthday celebration today. I don't know what gift to bring with me."

The question made Emmanuel and Mackenzie subconsciously glance at each other.

It seemed that Roselynn's relationship with Julian had .com unexpectedly gone very well. In less than a week, Roselynn actually agreed to attend Julian's grandfather's birthday banquet with him No matter who she was going as, this was a significant breakthrough in their relationship!

"Valuable supplements and antiques are the best gifts to bring to an elderly man's birthday party."

Emmanuel was on the speakerphone, so Mackenzie immediately spoke up with a suggestion.

"Mackenzie, you make a good point, but I don't have much knowledge in these two areas i'm afraid of being ripped off if I just go by myself. I don't want to be laughed at if I accidentally give him an imitation product!"

Roselynn voiced her concerns since she often read about such incidents in her novels. Still, the reality was far thereality was far from fiction. Bringing counterfeit goods as a gift would only lead to scorn and ridicule. There was no way to turn the tables around.

"If only we were in Yeringham, I could easily procure these items for you. However, in Onza, I'm afraid I will need to enlist someone else to help you."

"Mackenzie, why don't I go with Roselynn?"

Before Mackenzie could respond, Emmanuel quickly interjected, saying, "While I may not be well-versed in antiques, I am an expert when it comes to medicinal supplements."

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1422-It just so happened that Emmanuel had to attend the birthday banquet with Ashton. He had found himself at a loss on how to tell Mackenzie about it. Roselynn had unknowingly provided him with the perfect excuse.

In the past, he would have just told her about attending the banquet with Ashton. However, their relationship was currently very rocky. He truly did not want to risk another strain on his relationship with Mackenzie over another woman. During the night before, he had wondered if he should skip attending the birthday banquet just to avoid any potential conflict with Mackenzie.

"Alright. I'll leave it in your hands."

Mackenzie saw Roselynn as family. Hence, she was invested in the success of Roselynn's relationship with Julian. This was a crucial point in their relationship!

After securing Mackenzie's approval for a "leave of absence," Emmanuel could finally breathe easy as rendezvoused with Roselynn.

The two of them arrived at a renowned medical clinic in Onza known as the Skyrin Medical Clinic.

While they were aware of the clinic's reputation, they were unsure of the reason behind its grand reputation.

"Roselynn, what's with you?"

As they walked into the clinic, Emmanuel admired its ancient and elegant architecture. However, he soon noticed Roselynn's odd behavior as she had stopped to stare in a certain direction.

"It's that despicable man!"

Roselynn clenched her fists and ground her teeth as she spoke.

Despicable man?

Emmanuel was wondering why Jaxton would be in a place like this. However, when he turned to follow her gaze, he spotted the familiar face she called despicable.

It was Chase, Roselynn's sweetheart during university. He was currently arm in arm with a woman in a pink dress. When Chase noticed them, he swiftly turned to look at them.

A moment later, he tilted his lips up in a faint smirk.

Around six months ago, he had crossed paths with Roselynn at a Quillen family gathering. At that time, he assumed the Lowe siblings were putting on airs just because they were seemingly acquainted with a daughter of an esteemed family in Yeringham.

However, after that gathering, Chase soon married into a prestigious Onza family. Thus, he did not know what transpired in the Lowe family after the event.

He was initially taken aback to see them here. Still, upon closer inspection, he noticed they appeared unchanged. It seemed they had failed to succeed in their attempts to suck up to the privileged.

While the woman in pink was looking away, Chase even flirtatiously winked at Roselynn.

Roselynn recoiled in disgust. With a disdainful scoff, she looked away from him. I don't even want to bother looking at trash like him.

Emmanuel paid Chase no mind and proceeded to talk to the pharmacist with Roselynn. He intended to craft a longevity pill personally for her to bring as a birthday present.

He had come across the recipe in the "Divine Valley Medical Records" early on, and he had longed to experiment with it ever since. However, Yeringham was just a second-tier city. It made it hard for him to source many of the ingredients needed.

Coincidentally, during a previous consultation with Rhea for help with his relationship, she had mentioned this clinic in up 15 Around six months ago, he had crossed paths with Roselynn at a Quillen family gathering.

He had come across the recipe in the "Divine Valley Medical Records" early on, and he had longed to experiment with it ever since. However, Yeringham was just a second-tier city. It made it hard for him to source many of the ingredients needed.

Coincidentally, during a previous consultation with Rhea for help with his relationship, she had mentioned this clinic in passing. She had said that the clinic had a vast collection of rare and precious herbs. Hence, Emmanuel decided to check it out.

When he spotted the elusive Royal Blood Grass, his eyes shone with excitement.

Given its unique medicinal properties and niche uses, few pharmacies stocked it. To his surprise, the herb was also reasonably priced. His glee grew.

Just as he was about to purchase all the Royal Blood Grass the clinic had, the receptionist politely rejected him and stated: "Sir, the Royal Blood Grass is a rare medicinal herb reserved only for our VIP members. It is not for sale to the public. Pardon me for asking, but are you a VIP member of our clinic?"

Surprised by the unusual restriction, Emmanuel responded, "Well, I am not a member yet!"

Usually, such an answer would prompt the salesperson to persuade him to join as a member before proceeding with the sale. He was not short on cash anyway.

Unexpectedly, the receptionist simply gave him an awkward smile before saying, "I'm sorry. I can't sell this herb to you then."

She remained polite and sweet the entire time.

Emmanuel was bewildered. This isn't what usually happens!

Just as he was about to reply to her, he heard mocking laughter coming from beside him.

"Look at that man, darling. He even looks shocked! Does he think Skyrin Medical Clinic is just like the greedy clinics he sees elsewhere? These herbs are specifically collected for the rich and powerful!"

Emmanuel turned to look at the speaker. As he thought, it was the woman hanging off Chase's arm.

The woman exuded an air of refinement with her jewelry. Combined with her sensually slender walistand curvaceous figure, it was clear that she was a woman born into a privileged household who was also the kind to look down on the people around her.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1423-"Darling, please pardon them. They are my friends, and not everyone is as knowledgeable as a daughter of the famed Tanner family," Chase said while projecting an air of chivalrous charm.

Roselynn's stomach churned in disgust upon hearing that. No one knew him better than she did. In her mind, he was even more repulsive than Jaxton in certain respects.

For one, there was his hypocrisy.

During her time in university, she had agreed to date him because the pretentious and hypocritical act he put on had fooled her.

He had sworn not to initiate or push her into having sex before marriage. He even acted all self-righteous about that oath.

However, within two days of that promise, she would catch him red-handed cheating on her by walking into the room to find him naked in bed with another woman.

That was the start of her nightmares.

She only found the idea of marriage repulsive because of all the nightmares that spawned from that relationship. It was only through Emmanuel and Mackenzie's encouragement as well as efforts at matchmaking that she allowed herself to respond to the emotions incited by Julian's sincerity. While she did decide to befriend him, she was still very cautious and wary about the relationship.

"Roselynn, how nice to meet you again. How have you been?" Chase asked Roselynn with a smile on his lips.

The smile would have fooled Emmanuel into thinking Chase was actually an attractive and refined gentleman if Emmanuel had not seen through Chase's act early "My life is good without youselynn sneered at him, unwilling to bother with fake pleasantries.

However, the awkward tension in the air did not affect Chase. Instead, he put on the look he usually like to put on, the kind that implicitly criticized the other person by showing that he was a mature man who would magnanimously tolerate and pardon their immature behavior.

"Darling, who is she?" the woman in pink asked in an agitated voice.

"My ex-girlfriend, Roselynn Lowe. We broke up many years ago," Chase honestly replied.

"Oh, so she's just a woman who helped you on your path to being an experienced man."

The woman in the pink dress did not look jealous at all. With a forgiving expression on her face, she generously held a hand out for Roselynn to shake. "I am Hazel Tanner of Onza's Tanner family and Chase's wife. Thank you for letting him practice on you. You have turned him into a sweet and caring husband for me."

Emmanuel immediately scowled when he heard that. That is incredibly insulting. In fact, it is even more insulting than if she had just cursed and shouted at Roselynn.

"Don't thank me. I should be thanking you for taking in my unwanted trash. You have greatly contributed to keeping Yeringham's environment clean."

Roselyon did not even falter as she responded with a smile of her own.

You're not the only one who knows how to use backhanded compliments. Fear is a word that does not exist in my dictionary anyway.

"You…"

Hazel's face immediately turned bright red. Evidently, she had not expected a mere commoner to argue back. Does she have a death wish?

"Hazel, there's no need for you to debase yourself by talking to Roselynn. Perhaps you two are not meant to be friends."

Emmanuel immediately scowled when he heard that. That is incredibly insulting. In fact, it is even more insulting than if she had just cursed and shouted at Roselynn.

"Don't thank me. I should be thanking you for taking in my unwanted trash. You have greatly contributed to keeping Yeringham's environment clean."

Roselynn did not even falter as she responded with a smile of her own.novelbin You're not the only one who knows how to use backhanded compliments. Fear is a word that does not exist in my dictionary anyway.

Hazel's face immediately turned bright red. Evidently, she had not expected a mere commoner to argue back. Does she have a death wish?

"Hazel, there's no need for you to debase yourself by talking to Roselynn. Perhaps you two are not meant to be friends."

Chase had spoken as if he was a wise and cultured scholar.

While Roselynn was used to his habit of doing so, she still could not resist the urge to gag. The revulsion she felt had never gone away ever since she found out that Chase was a hypocritical man who only pretended to be a gentleman.

No! The disgust is worse now!

In the past, Chase only used his looks and silver tongue for picking up girls instead of climbing the social ladder. However, he was now clearly using those tricks he learned become a freeloading husband. It felt like she was looking at a servant man talking to his wife. groveling and sucking up to his mistress instead of "Hazel, why don't you head into the VIP lounge and enjoy some quality tea to cool down? I'll joining you shortly after this."

Chase successfully persuaded her to leave.

"Hmph! Chase is right. You aren't even worthy of talking to me."

Hazel then haughtily strutted away.

"What a joke! You act as if I'm here to chat you up. You really are great at and thinking highly of yourselves and psyching yourselves up. It's no wonder that you think you're actually that great."

Roselynn always had to have the last word in an argument.

That infuriated Hazel so much that she was fuming while stomping away. However, she had just said Roselynn was unworthy of talking to her. If she argued back, she would be slapping herself in the face.

Emmanuel had no interest in dealing with people like Chase. He was confident that Roselynn would m always come bubon top in any argurnent. Thus, when he discovered that obtaining a VIP membership at the clinic would not be an easy task, he decided to walk out so that he could call Rhea.

After all, it was Rhea who had recommended the clinic to him.

"You should have told me earlier if you wanted to buy herbs from Skyrin Medical Clinic. There was no need to go through the trouble of going there yourself."

Rhea had spoken with a voice that rang with pride, "Oh? That sounds like you can help me obtain a VIP card," Emmanuel curiously remarked with an implicit question in his words.

According to what he found out from the receptionist, Skyrin Medical Clinic mainly catered to the elite members to the of society Thus, while the average customer could purchase the common herbs from the clinic, most of the rare herbs were only sold to their VIP members.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1424-VIP status could not be gained based on one's top-up or consumption; it was entirely determined by one's family background and obtained on a familial basis.

The Tanner family from Onza naturally placed among the VIPS, allowing Chase to brag in front of Roselynn in the name of Hazel.

"Of course! My father is one of the shareholders of Skyrin Medical Clinic! The major shareholder of Skyrin Medical Clinic is my father's senior from many years ago, and he is a foreigner!"

Rhea appeared even more proud; every time she helped Emmanuel, she was overjoyed.

She wasn't sure why!

Perhaps it's just admiration for Emmanuel's medical talent?

"I see. I'll leave it to you then!"

Emmanuel was also astonished. He had long known that Dr. Gomez had made investments in a variety of medical enterprises, as well as being a shareholder in Cloudia Hospital in Yeringham. But he never imagined that such a low-key individual in his personal life would invest in so many sectors.

The Skyrin Medical Clinic was clearly powerful as well. Dr. Gomez turned out to be a low-key tycoon.

"Roselynn, why do you need this Royal Blood Grass?"

Chase purposely withdrew from his wife after Emmanuel left to have a private talk with Roselynn.

"It's none of your business!"

Roselynn was not someone who pretended to be a lady. She was known as a vulgar Woman in Yeringham, and she was not afraid to express herself!

Chase was not embarrassed either and murmured, "This Royal Blood Grass is a unique medicinal herb with life-saving properties. Is it because someone in your family is critically ill and requires it to save their life?"

Roselynn was slightly taken aback!

Heh. She had no idea why Emmanuel purchased these medicinal herbs, but Chase really had a vivid imagination. His words took her by surprise.

"How about this? If you spend the night with me, I'll help you buy it and give it to you.

That way, you can save a life. How about that?"

He raised an eyebrow and whispered in her ear.

His mischievous expression made her feel nauseous!

"Ah! Ahh!"

The next moment, a horrifying scream echoed through the clinic.

Chase jumped around with a red face and then fell to the ground in pain. His facial expression looked incredibly ugly!

Emmanuel hurried back when he heard the sound and upon seeing Chase's expression and actions, he knew what his sister had done to Chase!

His sister was really ruthless, using a move to attack a man's weak spot.

But he also guessed that if Chase hadn't gone too far, his sister would never have dealt with Chase like this.

"Dear! What's wrong? Why are you squatting there?"

Hazel heard Chase's scream and ran out of the VIP room again.

Since Hazel and Chase were the clinic's esteemed clientele, a large number of staff members also congregated around. The staff couldn't just watch while they were harassed in the clinic!

A group of people surrounded Roselynn in an instant!

"Roselynn… She suddenly hit me!" Chase eventually got to his feet, still acting like he was in pain. “But don't place too much responsibility on her! She simply said she would spend one night with me and requested me to purchase the Royal Blood Grass for her!

"But how could I do that? Since I'm a married man, I rejected her coldlym which made He upset and ashamed. Alas! It's all my fault for being too direct and hurting her pride!"

Upon hearing this, Roselynn was truly angry!!

This hypocrite was still as despicable as ever she really regretted not kicking him to death, but she left him a glimmer of hope!

"Is that so, Miss?"

A security guard who looked like a captain came out and asked. He needed to take this seriously and appropriately. If not, it would undoubtedly harm the clinic's standing..

Roselynn experienced some anxiety since she knew that these individuals would not trust her even if she spoke the truth. After all, she couldn't actually afford the Royal Blood Grass. If she acted indifferent and claimed not to care, others would seenovelbin through her lie!

Luckily, she didn't have to say anything. Emmanuel stepped in and declared, "No way! I've already purcha purchased the Royal Blood Grass.

Why would my sister need to resort to such measures to obtain it?"

It's a case of actions speak louder than words.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1425-Logic was the most powerful weapon against lies!

"Did I you hear that? It was me who ended things with this man first. Why would I need to be associated with him now when I have the means to buy everything I want? It's obvious who is lying!"

Roselynn snorted angrily and did not even bother to look at Chase as she trusted that her brother would not betray her.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Chase.

"Absurd! They are not VIP customers. How were the Royal Blood Grass acquired? It's clear who is lying, isn't it?"

Chase was brimming with confidence and thought Emmanuel was foolish. Making such statements to support his sister would only make their situation worse.

However, in the next moment, a middle-aged woman who appeared to be a sales supervisor hurried out and inquired, "Excuse me, who is Mr. Emmanuel Lowe?"

"I am!"

Emmanuel raised his hand.

Upon witnessing this scene, Chase suddenly had a sinking feeling!

As expected, the manager approached Emmanuel swiftly before saying respectfully, "Mr. Lowe, you are a friend of Dr. Gomez. Dr. Gomez has mentioned several times that you are a promising young doctor in front of our boss. Our boss has been looking forward to seeing you for quite some time. Why didn't you schedule an appointment in advance so we could inform him?"

"You don't have to bother yourself. I'm just here to purchase some herbs!"

Emmanuel waved his hand casually.

Had he realized it would be this difficult, he would never have came!

"Very well, Mr. Lowe. I will arrange the herbs you require immediately!"

The manager said respectfully before taking out a VIP card and handing it to Emmanuel. "Dr. Gomez mentioned that the Quillen family also meets our VIP criteria, so this card is for you and the Quillen family!"

"Thank you!" Emmanuel expressed his gratitude casually.

Shortly after, the medicinal materials were handed over to him.

Chase's eyes widened in disbelief when he observed this unfold. He realized that Emmanuel, much like himself, had married into a wealthy family and was being supported by them?!

And was his wife the renowned beauty of Yeringham, Mackenzie Quillen?

What exactly did he rely on?!

The combination of wealth and beauty was truly something to envy!

"Oh! One more thing!"

Before departing, Emmanuel exchanged a few words with his elder sister. Then, he reminded the manager, "Please review the surveillance footage in advance. Someone recently harassed my sister, and we have already reported it to the authorities! Thank you!"

"Of course, Mr. Lowe!"

The manager readily agreed.

Chase's complexion immediately paled. He had just argued that Roselynn was not a VIP and did not have the authority to request the clinic to retrieve surveillance footage for her. He never anticipated that Emmanuel possessed this capability!

"Chase Parker, explain yourself!"

Although Hazel was proud, she was not naive. She witnessed how Roselynn dared to report the incident to the authorities and then saw the expression on her own husband's face. How could she not deduce who was lying?

Was her husband considering reuniting with his former lover? What did she lack compared to this ordinary woman?

"Chloe, let me explain… Ouch!"

Chase's ear was twisted, causing him too much pain to articulate a complete Around the clinic, many people chuckled and pointed!novelbin This womanizer deserved it!

Roselynn felt a sense of satisfaction. How dare he try to deceive her? Today, she would reveal his true nature!

Meanwhile, Emmanuel had no interest in witnessing his embarrassment and departed as soon as the issue was resolved.

The news of the clinic quickly reached the ears of an elderly foreign man with white hair.

"Oh, is it the skilled doctor that Juan mentioned here in Onza? Why is he purchasing Royal Blood Grass?"

The old man's name was Robert Tiffany. He had resided in Changean for numerous years and had adopted a Chanaea homophonic name for convenience, known as Rob!

Decades ago, Dr. Gomez's senior and together they founded the Skyrin Medical Clinic.

He had always admired Dr. Gomez's medical expertise and had been studying traditional medicine under his guidance for many years.

Recently, he heard Dr. Gomez mention a young man in Yeringham with exceptional medical skitts, m particularly in the ancient Chanaea medical arts, surpassing Dr. Gomez by a hundredfold. This piqued his curiosity, and he was eager to meet this talented young man.

However, due to living in different Chad cities and his busy schedule, he had not been able to travel to Yeringham.

Now that the young man had come to Onza, he was determined to meet the young man at all costs!

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1426-"Quickly track that young man. I'll prepare myself and personally meet him!" Rob ordered his subordinates excitedly.

On the other side, Emmanuel was unaware of the behind-the-scenes events.

After purchasing the rare medicine Royal Blood Grass, he visited several pharmacies with Roselynn. He was busy for a whole morning and finally obtained the necessary herbs.

"Manny, what are you up to?" Roselynn was curious. Although she had long known that Emmanuel inherited the medical skills of the Lowe family, she had never seen him conduct medical experiments before. It seemed as though he was going to make some sort of miracle concoction today. Was this anything for Old Mr. Summerton, perhaps?

"You'll find out soon enough!" Emmanuel replied with a smile and did not reveal the answer directly.

"Hmph! Playing mysterious, huh? Don't make me teach you a lesson!"

Upon seeing him keep secrets from her, she couldn't help but feel annoyed and threatened him with a "stern" expression.

After all, her record against the Northern Region Wolf Warrior was 17 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the world!

"All right. Let's go with this basic equipment!" After an hour of mixing and refining, Emmanuel produced three pills.

"What on earth is this?" Roselynn picked one up and wrinkled her nose at the unpleasant smell.

"Not only does it look like a dung beetle's masterpiece, but it also smells bad! You really think I'm going to give this to Julian's Grandpa?" She couldn't help but comment.

Emmanuel smiled and said, "Roselynn, don't underestimate these three pills. This is the longevity pill I formulated. Those who know its worth are willing to pay 15 million to buy it!"

This formula belonged to an ancient prescription, only recorded in the Divine Valley lineage, and the Royal Blood Grass was a rare herb that was not easily obtained. No one else knew how the Royal Blood Grass was combined with other herbs to produce a medicinal power that defied modern logic.

In short, these three pills were unique in the world.

"Longevity pill? Can it really make you live to a hundred years old after taking it?" Roselynn joked as she looked at Emmanuel.

To her surprise, Emmanuel nodded seriously. "It's not entirely wrong to say that!"

Roselynn was stunned. She knew her brother very well, and he didn't like to boast. What was happening today?

Could this pill really be a miraculous elixir?

"All right, Roselynn. Trust me, and let's go! I won't deceive you!" Emmanuel quickly took out a box and wrapped one of the pills in it, so it didn't look like a dung beetle's creation.

He also teased her. "What's wrong? Why are you so concerned about giving gifts? Aren't you just accompanying Julian for the show? You're not his girlfriend, so why are you so nervous? It's not like you!"

Roselynn's expression changed slightly, and she quickly retorted, "I'm not nervous! I just don't want to embarrass myself. But you've reminded me, though. Who knows what's inside the fancy gift boxes? Many medicines are just based on hype anyway. Bring it on!"

Emmanuel chuckled. Now that the gift was sorted, it was time to set off.

Old Mr. Summerton's birthday banquet would be held at a large villa on the outskirts of the Summerton family estate today.

When the two siblings arrived at the location, they realized that this villa was not just large, it almost rivaled the Quillen residence!

Moreover, this was Old Mr. Summerton's residence. Julian and his family lived in a villa in the city.

It seemed that the Summerton family's background was indeed extraordinary. The purported tens of billions in wealth on the surface might be just a facade. Emmanuel felt that a reassessment based on actual circumstances was necessary to determine the true extent of their assets.

Roselynn also thought so, especially since she knew more about the Summerton family's background m than Emmanuel. She knew that the Summerton family was backingnovelbin them, but she dared not imagine how large this family really was. Visit NovelDrama.nt!

Otherwise, it would definitely be a deep abyss!

"Roselynn, you guys are here."

As soon as the two got out of the car, Julian, who was who was dressed in. a tailcoat, eagerly walked toward Roselynn.

Even Emmanuel could see that Julian's eyes were brimming with indulgence!

He never expected his older sister, who was valiant, to attract such a man… Wid Julian see in her? Didn't men usually prefer kind women?

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1427-Wait!

Emmanuel suddenly realized that Mackenzie was not gentle either. Well, it's okay then…

"Emmanuel, I've been waiting for you for a long time! You finally came!"

At this moment, Ashton also walked out from the other side and pulled Emmanuel away forcibly.

Of course, he didn't want to be a third wheel between Roselynn and Julian, so he followed Ashton.

At the entrance, Albert and several servants of Julian couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The siblings of the Summerton family were really attracted to the siblings of the Lowe family. No wonder Althea was so angry.

If she had seen the scene just now, it would have been a big deal!

"Ashton, why do you insist on me attending your grandfather's birthday banquet? Do you want me to teach you martial arts on this kind of occasion?"

Emmanuel couldn't help but ask as he walked into the front yard of the villa with Ashton.

"Emmanuel, I see you are a straightforward man, so I won't beat around the bush. I called you here today because I want you to be my shield!" Ashton directly stated her intention.

"Your shield?"

Emmanuel couldn't help but frown. Why was it this again? Last time, it was Tia, and t time, it was Ashton. He was not a professional in this field, let alone in this occupation!

"What's with that expression? I've helped you so many times. Can't you help me once? Are you still a man of integrity?"

Ashton's temper flared up immediately.

"But your parents all know me. Why do you need a shield when you see them?"

Emmanuel questioned.

"You're in for a surprise. The Summerton family's connections are vast. You'll get to witness it firsthand! With so many people here, you might not even get a chance to meet my parents!" Ashton suddenly sounded a bit spoiled. "I'm just annoyed by all these relatives and friends trying to set me up with someone. That's why I didn't want to come back to work at Onza!"

She was originally trying to act cool, but she didn't expect Emmanuel to ask directly, "So why are you willing to come back now?"

"Well…" Her facial expression suddenly changed, and she became angry and embarrassed. "Why do you care? You're just a fake. Why are you trying to take on the role of my boyfriend so quickly?"

Emmanuel was taken aback. "Who wants to be your boyfriend? I haven't agreed-"

Before he could refuse, Ashton suddenly grabbed his arm tightly, like an octopus that wouldn't let go.

Upon looking up, he saw a few people who seemed to know Ashton approaching.

"Ash? Is that really you? I heard you're back working at Onza?" A woman in a black fishtail skirt, who was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a black suit, appro Ashton with a smile.

It seemed they were a couple, and they were accompanied by two other figures who appeared to be elders.

"Aunt Kayla, Uncle Rodney, Cindy, Harry…"

What struck Emmanuel was that Ashton, who was usually quite hot-tempered, was now displaying a cultured side by taking the initiative to greet a group of elders.

As she greeted them, more and more people approached. They all seemed to know Ashton.

Emmanuel finally understood the meaning of Ashton's words just now. If he had so many relatives and friends, he would probably be tired of dealing with them!novelbin "Hello, Ash. Is this your boyfriend?"

"He's quite a talent!"

"Aren't you going to introduce him?"

The elders sized Emmanuel up as if they were buying seafood at the m market. They almost patted his buttocks to check if he was sturdy enough.

Meanwhile, two young men were glaring at Emmanuel. They clearly regarded him as a rival in love!

"Yes. His name is Golden Sanchez, and he's a doctor!"

Ashton had obviously already figured out what identity to give Emmanuel and directly to everyone.

Emmanuel couldn't be bothered to speak. He was silently playing them role of a qualified shield to avoid Ashton accusing him of betraying her.

But the next moment, a harsh voice rang out.

A woman in her thirties abruptly remarked, "Ash, you excel in every aspect, but why is your choice in men so lacking?"

The atmosphere quickly grew tense.

Ashton felt a twinge of irritation. "Cindy, what are you trying to imply?"

The woman called Cindy immediately smirked, and her eyes showed contempt.

"Judging by his demeanor, he doesn't seem like a doctor practicing modern medigine. He must be a traditional medicine practitioner, right?"f

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1428-"What's wrong with traditional medicine?" Emmanuel finally couldn't help but speak up when he saw the disdainful look on Cindy's face and his eyes darkened.

"Heh. What's wrong with traditional medicine? Do you even need to ask? It's out of fashion, and it's declined!" Cindy sneered. "Who goes to see traditional medicine for treatment nowadays? Traditional medicine can only survive in the crevices of modern medicine, and most of those who claim to practice traditional medicine are frauds!"

Upon hearing her words, Emmanuel was naturally upset. After all, traditional medicine was the traditional medical skill of Chanaea. As a Chanaea citizen, how could he not feel disheartened when someone looked down on the medical skill of his It felt as if he was witnessing an unfilial child disrespecting the wisdom of their ancestors in front of their graves!

Ashton, however, understood Cindy's intentions. She might not actually look down on traditional medicine but rather wanted to belittle her boyfriend.

Cindy's good friend once pursued Ashton, and Cindy even acted as a matchmaker for them. However, Ashton looked down on him, causing Cindy a lot of embarrassment.

Now, she just wanted to get back at Ashton.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few people present who didn't like the fact that Ashton had a boyfriend. So, with Cindy leading the way, quite a few people were joining in the mockery!

"Enough!" Emmanuel couldn't help but speak up with a stern face, "You can look down on me, but you must never look down on traditional medicine!"

As a warrior from the Northern Region, national and ethnic pride was essential.

Traditional medicine represented the medical skill of Chanaea and was a legacy of national wisdom. How could he tolerate others looking down on it?

It shouldn't be looked down upon just because of him, especially by a group of people from Chanaea.

It was really sad!

Ashton looked at his appearance in astonishment and terror. Others were also extremely surprised. They never expected that there would still be someone today who would defend traditional medicine in this way "Hehe… He really has a dignified look! Are all those who study traditional medicine this amusing?"

Cindy did not stop because of this. She still mocked, "The society is cruel outdated things will slowly be thrown into the river of history and eliminated. point of always sticking to them? This is called being conservative! I have never any traditional medicine practitioner rise to fame. At most, they just use it as a cover t deceive people. Let's not even mention big hospitals; modern medicine is the mainstream! It can only be said that those who still hold traditional medicine in high. regard and treat it like a darling are either foolish or malicious!"

Emmanuel really wanted to slap her, but he held back because violence wouldn't solve the problem in this situation.

If it were foreigners looking down on traditional medicine, it might be because they didn't understand it. But now, if people from Chanaea despised their own heritage, it was a sign that traditional medicine had truly fallen to the fringes. One could even argue that it would face an existential threat!

Emmanuel could educate those who slander traditional medicine, but that Idn't save traditional medicine from its decline. If he wanted to restore the reput traditional medicine, he needed to do something influential to change the min those who look down on it.

Only then could the spark ignite and restore the confidence of the people in their country's medical skills!

By chance, someone suddenly pointed in the direction of the front yard and exclaimed excitedly, "Look, isn't that Dr. Schmidt?"

"Yes. It's him!"

A group of people flocked toward this Schmidt.

Emmanuel also took a glance and realized that he was from Westeria!

He looked quite handsome and energetic, with a hint of stubble. He was the type that oforeign-loving women adored.

HiHis attire was quite upscale, with all foreign brands from head to toe, ead to toen topped off brand-new white coat. In short, his outfit looks worlds apart from the shabby long rob vero byby portraditional medicine practitioners! - Ashton couldn't help but sigh. Based on their clothing alone, there was indeed a noticeable difference om between Emmanuel and Schmidt. It was no surprise that they were both doctors, but those superficial individuals revered modern medicine and looked down on traditional medicine. This perception was also an issue.

Fortunately, she was not superficial. She found Emmanuel's traditional medicine very appealing!

"What are you discussing?"

To Emmanuel's surprise, Schmidt inexplicably approached them.

"Dr. Schmidt, you've arrived at the perfect moment!"

Cindy quickly stepped forward and said, "We are debating the merits of re debating the traditional medicine versus modern medicine. What are your thoughts?"

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1429-This woman was quite cunning. She was deliberately provoking Emmanuel and Schmidt!

Sure enough, Schmidt immediately shrugged and smiled. "Come on! Of course, it's modern medicine. Modern medicine is the mainstream modern medical practice!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Emmanuel casually.

Emmanuel didn't know what that look meant and couldn't be bothered to figure it out.

Since the other party said so, he just happened to ask back, "Does mainstream necessarily mean better? I don't agree with that viewpoint!"

Schmidt didn't arrogantly say, "It doesn't matter if you disagree; facts speak loud words, but took a more assertive approach. "just heard that you practice traditiona medicine. If I defeat you with modern medicine, will you admit that traditional medicine is indeed inferior to modern medicine?"

Emmanuel was also very surprised. How did this guy seem to know him?

le dididn't know that Schmidt was actually a proud disciple of Rob. Rob deliberately sent Schrhididivover to test his medical skills and see if he was as miraculous and excellent as DGomezesasdid!

Many people started to cheer for him, thinking that he was raising their country's reputation.

But people like Cindy still sneered at him and thought he was just pretending and being arrogant!

nmanuel agreed readily anahith ohiought that Schmidt would fail in this aspect.

Comparing Diagnostics Skills After all, diagnosing without any tools had always been a strong point of traditional medicine!

But he didn't expect that Schmidt would play dirty next…

"Hello, I'm Schmidt, a Ph.D. from NY Medical School and currently a consultant at Onzal International Hospital!"

Schmidt still started with courtesy by introducing himself to Emmanuel and extending his hand.

Emmanuel almost instinctively said his name, but fortunately, halfway through t pronunciation, he remembered the name Ashton had arranged for him today and casually reached out to shake hands with Schmidt while saying, "I am Golden Sanc a common traditional medicine practitioner!"

This scene sparked a lot of interest once again.

*

However, Cindy and others were waiting to see Emmanuel make a fool of himself. How dare a young traditional medicine practitioner challenge a seasoned international doctor of modern medicine? Wasn't he asking for trouble?

Regardless of which side they supported, everyone was full of expectations for the upcoming developments!

"Mr. Sanchez, hello!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Schmidt smiled and wenk straight to the point. "Our modern medical diagnosis is straightforward and precise. We utilize advanced instruments for testing. For instance, I underwent a comprehensive check-up hospital yesterday, which included an ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and vari scans. My heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all examined. Any issues C easily detected. Can traditional medicine achieve the same level of diagnostic efficiency and accuracy as us modern medical practitioners?"

The crowd engagem are being unquat is Chanana, we have saying that very with actors, who practice a modem medicine tioners to dagrosa Comparing Diagnostics Skills The crowd erupted in response when he finished his statement.

Im Ashton couldn't help but feel angry. "Schmidt you are being unjust. Chanaea, we modern medicine, rely on instruments, yet you expect us traditional medicine practitioners to diagnose without them? Is that equitable?"

12:54 Tue, Apr 9

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1430-Many people nodded in agreement with her words.

Schmidt, however, continued to smile and said, “Being able to invent so many advanced diagnostic devices is the advantage of our modern medicine. Why can't traditional medicine invent something as well?"

"I…" His words left Ashton at a loss for words. She was unable to come up with a retort.

The other party's words were rough but logical!

It was like a debate between the experts. They just wanted to determine w highest martial arts skills. While one side practiced swords, the other side pra boxing. Did the swordsmen have to throw away their weapons and fight with the to make it fair?

They didn't expect Emmanuel to remain calm and composed while saying, "We can Three Health Issues achieve the same results in traditional medicine, and it doesn't require any equipment.

By just feeling the pulse and diagnosing the energy, we can make precise diagnoses!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped in amazement.

They knew about feeling the pulse, but what on earth was "diagnosing the energy"?

To achieve the same effect as modern medical instruments through traditional methods seemed like a fantasy!

Even Ashton was surprised and couldn't help but stare at Emmanuel. Why was this.

man so competitive today? Could he really do it?

"Oh? Diagnosing the energy?"

Schmidt was indeed curious and asked, "Can you let me try it?"

Three Health Issues He had heard about the theories of the human body's energy in traditional medicine, and he knew that Chanaea had a complete set of theories on this medical knowledge.

Unfortunately, the traditional medicine practitioners he had met before were all talk and no action regarding their skills!

Gradually, he began to doubt and even look down upon traditional medicine like the others!

"Sure!"

Emmanuel could see the hint of doubt in Schmidt's eyes, and today was the perfect opportunity for him to experience and break down some of the skepticism and prejudice against traditional medicine.

So, he put on a confident look and said, "I will diagnose you using energy diagnosis. If I make a mistake or miss any of your physical ailments, I will admit defeat then!"

Three Health Issues Wow!

There was another stir in the crowd.

Ashton thought Emmanuel was being reckless. How could he let his opponent be the judge? Wasn't that setting himself up to lose?

Schmidt also didn't expect Emmanuel to trust his character so much, so he nodded.

and said, "I had three issues detected in my medical check-up yesterday. If you can correctly identify two of them, I will consider you the winner then."

Although this foreigner was a bit arrogant, his character was not bad.

"Deal!"

Emmanuel readily agreed and gestured for Schmidt to raise his hand.

As soon as Schmidt raised his right hand, Emmanuel placed two fingers on his pulse.

Dr. Gomez was also eagerly anticipating, but he was more confident than anyone else.

He believed that Emmanuel would not fail!

The next moment, Schmidt's expression became wonderful because he truly felt a surge of energy entering his veins and wandering through his body.

It was sometimes hot, sometimes cold, and sometimes it seemed to disappear like magic.

It was very fascinating!

"Okay."

Just as the energy had just disappeared, Emmanuel released Schmidt's pulse.

Many people on the scene were once again amazed. Could he have just checked someone's entire body condition like that?

Three Health Issues Even with modern medical equipment, individual tests were still were still necessary. The method used by Emmanuel was not that miraculous, was it?

"Indeed, you have three health issues!"

04 Emmanuel didn't try to be mysterious. He immediately raised three fingers and said, your rectum is not clear, clearly indicating internal hemorrhoids. M Thirdly, you also have acute pharyngitis and swollen gums, probably due to recent inflammation."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

Could he really be that amazing?

If he got everything right, it would be too miraculous because even modern medical testing equipment wasn't that quick!

T Three Health Issues Cindy and the others thought Emmanuel was just being arrogant, but his confident demeanor made them involuntarily nervous!
