Ch. 1481..1490
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1481-Roselynn nodded as she was also curious about what Mackenzie wanted to talk to her.
In fact, she was in a state of inner conflict, uncertain about her next steps. She was glad Mackenzie was sensible and started the topic.
The two of them entered Mackenzie’s room while holding hands, leaving Emmanuel alone.
“Roselynn, I know it’s hard to make a decision, but I really want to know your real thoughts.” Mackenzie was straightforward. “Sometimes your biggest enemy is yourself, not someone else. With unwavering determination, we can overcome many challenges.
Yet, wavering convictions can easily impede progress.” Upon hearing Mackenzie’s words, Roselynn’s eyes brightened with understanding.
Her current indecision weighed heavily on her. If she was determined, perhaps she wouldn’t have a tough time now.
“You’ve fallen for Julian, haven’t you?” Mackenzie asked directly.
As a woman herself, she understood women well. If Roselynn wasn’t truly holding affection for Julian but simply considered him as a flatterer, she wouldn’t have attended Zaiden’s birthday banquet and even put efforts in preparing the gift.
“I’m not sure. Perhaps you’re right.” Roselynn wanted to gloss over, but Mackenzie was not easy to deal with. She quickly asked, “Let me ask you some questions. You must answer me immediately without hesitation.” Roselynn nodded obediently as she looked into her domineering eyes.
“Firstly, if he gives you a gift which is not very expensive, would you accept it?
Three, two…” As Mackenzie counted down, Roselynn instantly nodded.
If it were in the past, she wouldn’t have accepted Julian’s gifts. However, she had actually accepted his flowers today.
“Okay. Secondly, if you accidentally witness him talking to other women, would you leave immediately or wonder about their relationship? Three…” “I will wonder about their relationship.” Roselynn gave her response even faster this time.
Mackenzie’s lips curved slightly. Although she could guess Roselynn’s answer to the next question, she still asked, “If Julian entered the hospital, would you set your work aside and visit him?” “I… I think yes. After all, I don’t need to seek permission for taking leave now.” Roselynn tried to find an excuse.
“Then that’s it.” Mackenzie came to the conclusion despite Roselynn’s arguments. “You have fallen for him. I underwent the same thing before, so I’m clear about it.” Roselynn showed a complex smile. Despite her age and experience in love and marriage surpassing Mackenzie, Mackenzie seemed to be the one who was more experienced.
Nevertheless, she acquiesced to Mackenzie’s conclusion.
In fact, she also admitted that she had fallen for Julian. She just sought external validation of her emotions.
“Since you acknowledge your feelings, don’t delay further. The Roselynn I know is a resilient woman full of vitality. Embrace this opportunity before it slips away.” Mackenzie tried to encourage Roselynn.
Since both Roselynn and Julian had feelings for each other, Mackenzie hoped they could have a good outcome.
Besides, Alessandra’s concerns were also understandable. Roselynn is approaching 31 years old. If she didn’t get married soon, she would become an elderly pregnant woman in the future.
As women aged, society often perceived them as less valuable. Furthermore, certain opportunities tended to vanish permanently if not seized in time.
Hence, Mackenzie was determined to help Roselynn.
“Well…” Roselynn wasn’t particularly hesitant. However, she wouldn’t approach Julian hastily and declare her willingness to be his girlfriend.
Luckily, unlike Emmanuel, Mackenzie immediately understood her concerns.
She then said with a smile, “If you’re certain, leave the rest to me.” Before long, Emmanuel received Mackenzie’s message. He then headed toward Alessandra’s room.
Julian was having a great conversation with Alessandra.
It seemed he was different from the other rich man. He bore no biases based on social status and exuded refinement.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1482-“How long are you going to talk?” Emmanuel interjected their conversation.
“Julian and I were having a great conversation. Why are you disturbing us?” Alessandra intended to drive Emmanuel away, treating him with less familiarity compared to Julian.
Emmanuel could only offer a bitter smile.
Inviting Julian to visit Alessandra alongside Mackenzie was a wise choice. His presence seemed to have a soothing effect, momentarily alleviating Alessandra’s anguish over Ryder’s passing.
Alessandra’s mood indeed changed quickly.
Upon realizing the duo were on the verge of resuming their private conversation, Emmanuel interrupted, “What’s the point of chatting here all day? Julian, you haven’t confessed to Roselynn, and she hasn’t consented to be your girlfriend.
Why do you want to please my mom?” His words left Alessandra speechless.
Meanwhile, Julian quickly grasped the situation as she stood up and said excitedly, “Emmanuel, are you suggesting that…” A glimmer of hope lit up his face before he continued speaking.
Emmanuel nodded. “Why don’t you act fast? Otherwise, you’ll miss your chance.” “Alright, I’ll do it now. Thank you, Emmanuel.” Alessandra remained perplexed. Meanwhile, Julian comprehended perfectly and hastened out of the room.
But how can I confess without preparing any gifts? Would it be too late to buy one now?
Just then, the front door opened again.
Beatrix entered while munching on a snack and clutching a sizable doll. She seemed to have just returned from the amusement park as she looked spirited.
Emmanuel was also curious about Beatrix’s whereabouts. However, those details were inconsequential. What mattered was that she had provided Julian with a gift for his confession.
“Emmanuel, why is our house so bustling today?” Beatrix was taken aback.
Aside from Julian in the living room, it appeared there were others in various ro “Is today some special occasion? Or are there any significant events?” Beatrix que like an inquisitive child.
Emmanuel walked over and relieved her from the doll as he said, “I’ll borrow this momentarily.” He assumed the doll was given by Shane, and Beatrix probably wouldn’t object.
Hence, he decided to utilize it for Julian.
“Hey! Emmanuel-” Beatrix was utterly bewildered as Emmanuel simply took away her thing. He probably wouldn’t care if she reported him to Mackenzie.
At that moment, Mackenzie and Roselynn emerged from the room.
Emmanuel had already given the doll to Julian.
Julian didn’t delay further. This might be a historical moment in his life, so he decided to act bravely.
“Hey!” Beatrix was even more perplexed.
If Emmanuel took the doll from me to give it to Mackenzie, it’s still forgivable.
However, why did he give it to a man?
Perhaps true love is between men.
Before she could protest, Emmanuel promptly covered her mouth.
At that crucial juncture, he couldn’t let her disrupt the moment between Julian and Roselynn.
“Beatrix, I’m sorry to put you out.” “Hmm…” Beatrix was still struggling. She felt as if she had stumbled into a den of thieves instead of returning home.
Who pretends to be Emmanuel and robs my thing?
What’s worse was that Mackenzie witnessed everything but gestured for her to remain silent so that she didn’t cause commotion.
What’s happening?
In the next moment, Beatrix finally comprehended.
Julian knelt before Roselynn while holding the doll as he said, “Roselynn, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?” Roselynn was taken aback. Her glance fell on Emmanuel and then at Mackenzie, finally grasping the situation.
Even Mackenzie, who had always been aloof, was trying to help her. It seemed she couldn’t turn down the person before her.
She stayed still in a stunned expression as she didn’t know how to respond to Julian.
Mackenzie and Emmanuel remained composed. However, Alessandra could no longer hold back as she struggled to stand up and exited the room.
“I can’t wait any longer. Roselynn, quickly accept Julian. If you don’t, I will make the decision for you.”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1483-With that, she took the doll and put it in Roselynn’s arms.
Julian was slightly awkward as he was still kneeling. The hurdle wasn’t just convincing Alessandra, it was securing Roselynn’s agreement.
After all, he wasn’t confessing to Allessandra.
Luckily, Roselynn didn’t avoid her feelings anymore. Cradling the pink doll, she grinned.
“I’ll concede to your request since this bunny is adorable “Really?”
Julian couldn’t believe such a spontaneous, simple confeccion, even with a hastily procured gift, would yield success.
Ironically, the meticulously planned confession with diamond necklaces, extravagant dinners, and romantic melodies had previously met rejection.
It signified that love was merely a transient impulse.
“Well, since you guys are dating now, we won’t intrude on your dinner plans tonight. You can head off; just spare us the lovey-dovey display.” Mackenzie’s intervention was precise, swiftly ushering the couple out.
Julian didn’t refuse. With a girlfriend secured, there’s no reason for him to stay.
After expressing gratitude to Alessandra, he quickly whisked Roselynn away.
On the other hand, Beatrix remained in Emmanuel’s arms, helplessly watching her hard-won doll being snatched away.
“I’m sorry, Beatrix.” Emmanuel finally released Beatrix and offered with a smile. “Beatrix, I can compensate you for that doll. Do you want me to give you cash or buy you the exact same one? I won’t refuse if you want ten of them.” Unexpectedly, Beatrix, who used to be obedient, displayed defiance today.
“Useless Emmanuel, that doll was a hard-earned prize which I won with considerable effort and money. Also, that’s not a bunny. It’s a guinea pig,” Beatrix explained agitatedly.
Emmanuel was not able to give any response After Beatrix stormed off to her room, Mackenzie discreetly pinched Emmanuel’s s and reminded him, “Look at what you’ve done. You still remember the mask you wore while rescuing Beatrix? It’s a guinea pig. Now you’re causing trouble. I wonder what you would do next.” Emmanuel finally grasped the situation. He couldn’t recall the mask he wore that night, yet Beatrix had evidently remembered it all along.
This was indeed troublesome.
Could Beatrix be falling for the man who saved her that night?
No wonder she no longer favors me.
Tonight was the twelfth day of the Grand Martial Showdown. 20 contenders were selected and entered the final round.
The Summerton family, representing the esteemed families in Onza, and even Nuthana, would finally take the stage.
At 8 p.m., Zaiden, accompanied by his wife, escorted the Summerton family’s contender to the arena.
As a prominent figure of Onza and a long-standing family of Chanaea, the Summerton family was resolute in claiming victory tonight.
Julian was conspicuously absent, as he didn’t even answer their calls.
Nevertheless, Ashton went to the arena with them.
She even expressed her willingness to compete on behalf of the Summerton family.
“Zaiden, do you think there’s interference from other families and factions in tonight’s battle?” Althea couldn’t suppress her apprehension, especially after learning about the confl involving the Chapman family and the Onza Silverbane family.
Both families were as capable as the Summerton family, but none of them secured a place in the finals due to clandestine machinations from the other families.
“Mom, martial arts competitions focus on one’s capability. We don’t have to concern ourselves with their schemes. Strength speaks for itself. Without strength, what’s the point of vying for prestige?” Ashton, with a distinct age and societal standing, offered a different perspective.
Fueled by newfound internal strength and rapidly improving skills, she showcased great confidence. She couldn’t wait to exhibit her abilities in the Grand Martial Showdown.
Should she confront any incapable contenders, she would be sorely disappointed.
“Aren’t you embarrassed to say that?” Althea’s temper flared at Ashton. “Had it not for your insult to the Tanner Family, would we be so worried now? If the Summerto family fails to secure a place in the finals, no one will respect us afterward.”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1484-“Okay. Please stop bickering and just relax!” Zaiden was becoming irritated!
Thankfully, Malakai and Lexi were present tonight and they brought some positive news!
“Zaiden, from what I understand, the Tanner residence has just been attacked, so they won’t be able to focus on the Summerton family temporarily. Moreover, the elite of the Tanner family has already been mobilized, and those who participated in the Grand Martial Showdown before cannot participate again, so there’s no need to worry al them causing trouble for us!”
Zaiden was indeed relieved by this news.
At that instant, he looked over to the VIP section, where Yasmine had also brought a group of people.
The individuals behind her, all exhibiting determination and energy in their eyes, outperformed even some of the fighters who had made it to the finals.!
Zaiden and Yasmine made eye contact, and when he noticed Yasmine nodding and smiling at him, he felt even more relaxed.
He was concerned that Airspace Group would send people to cause trouble tonight because of Old Mr. Summerton refusal to cooperate last time. So, he had some business dealings with Yasmine tonight. Even though the two families had not yet agreed to cooperate, it appeared that Yasmine would ensure that Airspace Cup’s fighters would not be present tonight.
With this in mind, would anyone dare to provoke the Summerton family tonight?
“Uncle Zaiden, Blake has signed up for tonight’s competition. It appears that the Summerton family can only secure one spot for advancement at most!” Just when Zaiden felt relieved, Lexi suddenly brought him some bad news.
“Blake?” When Zaiden heard this name, he didn’t react for a moment. When he quickly checked the list of participants for tonight, his facial expression suddenly changed.
Blake unexpectedly represented a company, and it was the Aerelle Group!
At this moment, the arena suddenly became lively, and many men were screaming excitedly!
“The Four Beauties of Zovince have arrived in Nuthana!” “Is that Hattie, who is hailed as the most beautiful rose? Even from this far, she looks incredibly beautiful!” “The most important thing is her temperament. It’s so refined! I’m in love! I’m so in love!” The Summertons also looked over.
Zaiden was so surprised that he even tightened his fists. Despite all his calculations, he couldn’t have anticipated that the woman from the Zelinsky family of Zovince would be present at the Summerton family’s arena tonight!
“Haha! Ms. Hattie, take a look! It seems like the Summerton family of Onza has some opinions about us!” Blake also felt the gaze of Zaiden and others and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Even Ashton frowned slightly. Although she didn’t think it was despicable for Blake to sign up for the competition tonight, she couldn’t understand why Blake targeted the Summerton family. Didn’t she hear that Blake had made peace with Emmanuel?
Moreover, even if she were bursting with confidence now, she would have no chance of winning against Blake alone!
At this time, Emmanuel and Mackenzie also arrived at the arena, followed by Sage.
Upon seeing that Blake had signed up for tonight’s boxing match, the couple didn’t express any surprise as the Summerton family did.
Emmanuel made it clear that Blake, who had always been savvy about the ways of the street, had a complete falling out with Yosef due to the situation involving Tommy.
Furthermore, Abellyn admitted that if Blake had not saved her during that incident, she would have likely been killed by Yosef.
The winner tonight would face the winner from the Tanner family’s side in the first match of the finals. That was why Blake decided to join the competition tonight-to have another face-off with Yosef!
Following a brief break, the competition for tonight started promptly.
“Ms. Quillen, nice to see you again!” Hattie wasn’t focused on the match, but she instead took the initiative to approach Emmanuel and Mackenzie with a smile on her face.
“Ms. Zelinsky, I’m surprised to see you showing interest in this event as well.” Mackenzie no longer held any animosity toward Hattie and engaged in conversation with her.
Despite having been enemies in the past, they simply had different goals and there w no intense hatred between them. As for Emmanuel’s enmity with Magnus, it couldn’t be attributed to Hattie.
“I came to see what was happening because Blake is involved.” Hattie even took Mackenzie’s hand gently before asking like a close friend, “I heard you’re pregnant.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1485-Emmanuel smiled casually. Since Mackenzie didn’t take Hattie as an enemy, he wouldn’t either.
Hattie suddenly changed the subject. “Have people from Airspace Group and Holy Fire Organization approached you recently?” Mackenzie nodded, then continued, “A woman with the last name Morgan from Airspace Group approached me not long ago and said some strange things.
They wanted the child in my belly!” “What?”
Emmanuel was suddenly astonished as he held her other hand tightly, “Mackenzie, why didn’t you tell me about this kind of thing?” Mackenzie apologized. “I’m sorry. I was upset before, and then I forgot! Now that Ms. Zelinsky is here, it’s a good opportunity to mention this.” Emmanuel nodded and sighed. He thought to himself, This is why spouses shouldn’t quarrel or have cold wars. Otherwise, troubles might easily arise!
Sage listened silently behind them. Although he didn’t dare to interject easily, he was also quite anxious!
He had also heard of Airspace Group. Their strength and background were unfathomable. If they set their sights on Mackenzie’s child, there would probably be a lot of trouble in the future!
However, Hattie was not surprised by Mackenzie’s words at all. She even directly told Mackenzie, “The woman you mentioned should be Yasmine, right?
She is a senior consultant of Airspace Group with great power, and she is also Blake’s sister!” “What?!” The couple was shocked again. They did not expect Yasmine to have this relationship with Blake.
“So, Blake was originally from Airspace Group?” Emmanuel asked.
Hattie didn’t hide it either and nodded directly. “Since Blake is not here, let me say something blunt. He is actually a cast-off from Airspace Group.” “Cast-off?” Emmanuel was shocked. Even he highly appreciated Blake’s strength. Such a person was a cast-off from Airspace Group?
Mackenzie quipped jokingly. “Was he cast off because he was too ugly?” Hattie covered her mouth and chuckled. “No. Blake used to be a handsome guy, too. His looks were no less than your husband’s!” “So, he wasn’t lying?” Emmanuel also laughed along.
The three of them chatted in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. If an outsider were to see them, they wouldn’t know that the three of them had once been mortal enemies.
It would seem as if it was just a husband accompanying his wife’s friend for a chat.
“Yes. Airspace Group’s goal is to create super warriors and dominate the world!
So, they are eager for martial talent, and the child in your belly has a unique bloodline, which is definitely their target!” With this statement, Hattie successfully piqued Mackenzie’s interest, and Mackenzie immediately asked, “Ms. Zelinsky, so you know the details of Emmanuel and I?” There were only a few people around, so Mackenzie didn’t hesitate.
She really wanted to know what her identity was. Her father was not a martial artist, so the only rare bloodline could only be her mother!
“Ms. Quillen, I can only tell you that your mother’s identity is very special. As for how special it is, it’s difficult for me to explain right now, and I’ve only heard about it, so I can’t confirm it for you!” Hattie’s words made Mackenzie feel a little uncomfortable.
In fact, as clever as she was, combined with the words of Felicity and Hattie, she had already guessed her true identity! It was highly likely that she was the Saintess of the Holy Fire Organization, not Sarah!
Of course, this was just her speculation, and she needed solid evidence.
Moreover, she knew nothing about what made the Saintess special!
At this moment, the highly anticipated match on the stage began.
The audience was in an uproar!
“Look! It’s the ace of the Summerton family entering the stage!” “This is one of the favorites to win this tournament. His name is Cooper Byers.
He’s a master-level expert! The guardian of the Summerton family!” “Yes. His record in Onza is too well-known. He has almost won every battle, and it can be said that the Summerton family’s current reputation and status are all thanks to bim!” The voices from the audience seats could be heard clearly by Emmanuel, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.
He had seen Cooper before. Cooper always guarded behind Zaiden and his wife.
Although Cooper was silent, Emmanuel could still feel his expert aura. However, it was quite unfortunate that his opponent tonight was Blake
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1486-No wonder the audience was so passionate because Blake was a renowned fighter from the Zelinsky family of Zovince, and many people in the audience had heard of his name.
This was destined to be an exciting match tonight, and it unexpectedly unfolded so quickly!
Emmanuel couldn’t help but glance in the direction of the Summerton family.
Zaiden. and Althea were both focused on the stage. Their eyes were fixed without blinking, showing signs of nervousness!
Unfortunately, luck was not on their side. After a fierce battle, Cooper still couldn’t break through Blake’s defenses and was defeated by Blake!
Hearing the boos directed at the Summerton family from the audience, Zaiden and Althea turned pale.
This defeat not only meant losing the match but also tarnished the reputation of the Summerton family!
The Summerton family was still the vice president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce. If they couldn’t even secure a spot in the finals tonight, their reputation would inevitably plummet in the eyes of major families and forces. It was uncertain whether they could retain the position of vice president in the upcoming election next. month!
“Hehe. The Summerton family’s fighters are indeed impressive! Not bad!” Blake still said a few polite words to the Summerton family on the stage for the sake of Emmanuel.
But it was all in vain!
The disdainful voices toward the Summerton family continued wave after wave.
Steven even approached Zaiden and Althea deliberately before saying coldly, “Mr.
Summerton, Madam Althea, is the Summerton family still going to protect the Quillen. family and oppose the Tanner family? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Once you lose the position of vice president, the Tanner family will never let you off!” After the threat, he left with a sneer.
He deliberately came to pressure Zaiden and Althea. If Ashton continued to use her official power to protect Emmanuel and prevent them from seeking revenge for Aidan, sooner or later, the Tanner family would make the Summerton family suffer!
Althea was about to speak to her husband when Bobby arrived. He controlled his volume to speak to them, “Zaiden, for my sister’s sake, I’ll give you another chance.
Promise to help me win the position of president now, and I’ll find a way to help the Summerton family retain the position of vice president. Otherwise, the Summerton family will soon decline irreversibly!” Bobby was Althea’s older brother, so he was well aware of the situation of the Summerton family.
They were just maintaining the facade of the Summerton family. If they were of no use or failed to meet the requirements of hiding the Summerton family, they would be wiped out and replaced at any time!
Zaiden’s facial expression turned dark, but he still didn’t respond to Bobby.
At this moment, Ashton had also left her seat and appeared in the preparation area.
Although she couldn’t hear what Steven and Bobby were saying to her parents, she could guess that they were putting pressure on her father, so she couldn’t help but send a message to her father.
‘Dad, I’m still around! I will definitely help the Summerton family secure a spot in the finals!’ Seeing this message, Zaiden felt somewhat comforted.
Cooper was a fighter sent by the Summerton family, but he was still not their own.
However, Ashton was his daughter. If Ashton could secure a spot in the finals, Zaiden would truly have some honor and prestige for the Summerton family.
So, with this hope in mind, he still chose not to respond to Bobby and Steven even after Althea whispered something in his ear.
He was a man and not a coward who would be intimidated by a few words!
Unfortunately, today’s matchups were not friendly to the Summerton family.
Anothe fighter from the Summerton family soon faced off against Blake..
The result was self-evident-a complete defeat!
Fortunately, Ashton was impressive. After mastering internal strength, her capability Gap was no longer the same as before. She defeated strong opponents consecutively and advanced to the top four!
Sage, watching from the audience, felt relieved. Ashton was a very talented martial artist, and she was still young. As long as she continued to work hard, her martial arts capabilities would eventually catch up to a person with poor health like him.
At the same time, he admired Emmanuel. No matter how he taught Ashton, he couldn’t help her master internal strength. But as soon as Emmanuel took over, Ashton immediately made rapid progress. This was the huge gap between him and Emmanuel!
Emmanuel also looked at Ashton differently, but her prospects for advancement di look good to him because he had noticed another fighter today.
It was Everett, who had challenged the Wolf Warrior Society twice in the past!
Everett’s strength posed no threat to Emmanuel for sure. Even Sage could easily deal with him. But it was difficult for Ashton to face him now!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1487-On the other side, Blake easily secured victory in the semi-finals, earning a spot in tonight’s finals.
The final match tonight was between Everett and Ashton!
“Miss Ashton, you can do it!” “Miss Ashton, you must win!” The audience below supported Ashton unanimously.
After all, besides her status, she was also a physically attractive female martial artist. was easy for beautiful women to attract male fans!
“Hehe. Officer Summerton, you have quite a few fans!”
As Everett took the stage, he smirked coldly at Ashton. “I wonder what expression you’ll have when everyone sees you being trampled under my feet later? Hehe…” “It’s you?!” Seeing Everett, Ashton frowned slightly.
Due to Emmanuel, she had long been acquainted with Everett. This guy had challenged the Wolf Warrior Society twice and failed both times, with his arm even being broken. In the eyes of the Wolf Warrior Society, he was just a stray dog!
And Ashton was not a woman with a good temper. Hearing the provocation, she g her teeth and retorted, “I hope you won’t look too ugly when you kneel and beg for mercy later!” “You arrogant wench, let’s see who begs whom for mercy!” Provoked, Everett launched a ferocious attack on Ashton as soon as the match began.
His internal energy was stronger than hers. His physique was more robust, and he had combat experience as he had been trained by the Hellfire Club’s top fighters. Even with one arm, he made it difficult for her to defend!
But Ashton had an indomitable spirit. Despite being knocked down several times, she kept getting back up.
“Miss Ashton, come on!” Seeing Ashton at a clear disadvantage, the audience below became increasingly anxious.
Zaiden and Althea were also on edge, regretting that they couldn’t help!
“Ashton, attack his right side! Use guerrilla tactics to outmaneuver him. Don’t engage him head-on!” Emmanuel couldn’t help but shout from the sidelines at a critical moment.
This was allowed by the rules. As long as he didn’t step onto the stage, it didn’t matter what he shouted from below.
Moreover, only high-level fighters like Emmanuel could speak with such vigor, drowning out the voices of others and ensuring that Ashton could hear him!
“Got it!” Guided by Emmanuel’s advice, Ashton used her advantage of having both arms to patiently maneuver around Everett.
Thus, the battle turned into a protracted struggle!
In terms of willpower, Ashton, who came from a military background, was no less than anyone else. Finally, she found an opening in Everett’s defense and attempted to use her favorite grappling technique to pin him down.
However, to her surprise, although Everett’s right arm was weak, it could still move. He lifted it directly to grab her chest.
“You pervert!” Ashton didn’t expect her opponent to use such a despicable move in front of everyone.
Even though she knew his right arm lacked strength, she couldn’t let him grab her!
Having a large chest once again became a burden in her fight..
“What the heck is Ashton doing?!” Sage was watching anxiously. Ashton had finally turned the tables, but she gave up because she didn’t want to be taken advantage of.
As a result, there was no hope of winning!
Ashton was also annoyed. She didn’t know why she gave up. In the past, she might not have cared! After all, physical combat was normal in martial arts. In previous battles with female opponents, she had even allowed them to take advantage.
But tonight, for some reason, when she thought of Emmanuel and her parents watching from below, she just didn’t want this lecher to take advantage of her!
Sure enough, when Everett saw her retreat, he suddenly grinned madly and launched a fierce attack.
Losing the initiative, Ashton found her limbs numbing under the pressure, and sh unable to get up even though she tried desperately.
“Dirty tactics!” “Shameless!” “Sleazy!” “Referee, isn’t what he just did considered a foul?” A group of men in the audience cursed at Everett.
However, it was all in vain!
Since the competition didn’t distinguish between genders, there was no rule against attacking the chest area.
“Hehe, Miss Ashton. Are you convinced now?” Everett’s dirty foot pressed down on Ashton’s face.
Ashton was still trying to get up, but she couldn’t. Her neck bones were cracking and seemingly on the verge of breaking!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1488-“It seems you still don’t want to give up. I’ll have to make you suffer a bit more, Haha…” Suddenly, Everett threw a punch.Ashton’s right arm snapped! then.Yet, this resilient woman refused to utter a sound. Her eyes turned red, but she refused to admit defeat!“Ash… Ash!” Tears welled up in Althea’s eyes.Although she had been in a fierce dispute with Ashton recently, Ashton was still her biological daughter!Seeing her daughter suffering like this, she felt heartbroken.Zaiden couldn’t help but shout, “Quickly admit defeat, Ash!” He cared more for his daughter than Althea did, so he felt even more distressed.Moreover, he knew very well that Ashton didn’t admit defeat because she was the last hope for the Summerton family.If she lost, the Summerton family would be done for!“Hehe… Still not admitting defeat? Don’t blame me for being ruthless and destroyi beauty then!” Everett threw another punch at Ashton’s left leg this time.“Ah…” She finally couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.Emmanuel couldn’t bear to watch anymore. Ashton had completely lost hope of winning, so why didn’t she admit defeat?Mackenzie watched Ashton at this moment with both sympathy and admiration.Ashton was truly a tough woman!“Ash, admit defeat!” Sage finally couldn’t help but speak up. “Where there’s life, there’s hope. Don’t dv much on temporary gains and losses!” Hearing Sage’s words, Ashton finally tapped the platform three times with her left han signaling her surrender!Unexpectedly, Everett slapped her thigh again. Although this blow didn’t cause much damage, it made Ashton feel extremely humiliated!This b*stard was deliberately taking advantage of her!“Hahaha, sorry! I didn’t know you had surrendered! Luckily, I didn’t hurt you, so it doesn’t count as a foul, right?” Everett let go of Ashton while laughing triumphantly on the stage. He looked quite lecherous.“Damn it!” Sage couldn’t bear it anymore. He wanted to jump onto the stage and teach Everet lesson to avenge Ashton.Unexpectedly, Emmanuel, who was usually calm and composed, didn’t say a word but had already left the audience seats and jumped onto the stage!The people below were still lamenting Ashton’s failure, but the next moment, they saw Emmanuel appear in front of Everett.“What… what do you want to do?” Everett saw Emmanuel and was afraid. The look in Emmanuel’s eyes was terrifying, like the gaze of the Grim Reaper!“I want to beat you up!!” Emmanuel said as his face darkened. He used the Dragon Hold Technique to pull Everett over.He rarely lost control due to anger.But seeing Ashton being tortured like this, he couldn’t remain indifferent!Tonight, Nathan, who had been quietly observing from below, became extremely excited when he saw this scene!Emmanuel had taught him this move, but he had never been able to use it. Now, seeing Emmanuel use it, he felt excited and applauded!Crack!Emmanuel directly broke Everett’s left arm, and the extent of the injury was definitely not like his right arm, which would still be able to move in the future.“Ah! Ah!” Everett, unlike Ashton, lacked such strong willpower and screamed on the spot.But it wasn’t over yet. Emmanuel moved his right leg and directly broke Everett’s right leg bone!“Ah! Ah!” Everett’s screams!The more he screamed, the louder the cheers from the audience below, forming a perfect correlation!“Referee! Organizer! Save me! I’m a qualifying contestant. You have to protect the contestant!!” Everett wasn’t stupid. He quickly shouted for help.The next moment, security from the organizers rushed onto the stage.“You again?” Joe, as the manager of the entire venue, also quickly stepped onto the stage.He recognized Emmanuel and asked coldly, “Why did you assault the winning contestant tonight?” “I don’t like him!” Emmanuel didn’t bother to come up with any pretentious excuses. He just said those words coldly.Joe was dumbfounded. Did this guy not even bother to conceal his motives?Could he just beat people up because he didn’t like them?Nathan was also stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter while secretly admiring Emmanuel’s prowess! Emmanuel was awesome, indeed!“Damn it! This is outrageous!” Everett lay on the stage and shouted, “What kind of reason is this? Mr. Wallace, this guy assaulted me for no reason. You must give me justice!” Before Joe could respond, the audience below erupted completely!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1489-“What justice do you want? You’re the one who continued to attack after the match was over. Now you deserve to be beaten!” “That’s right! This despicable guy doesn’t deserve to win!” “Sir, I support you! Kill this guy and let the Summerton family advance to the next stage!” Although these words were very provocative, and Emmanuel also wanted to do the same, he wasn’t such a foolish person. He knew that killing Everett in front of every wouldn’t allow the Summerton family to qualify, and there was a great possibility that he would lose his qualification as well. Perhaps he would even end up in jail!
At the moment, emotions were running high, and the arena represented by Joe had always only recognized strength and rules. He didn’t want to argue with Emmanuel and simply warned him. “I will arrange a meeting to discuss this matter later. You wait for me!” After saying that, he had people disperse both sides.
Emmanuel briefly checked Ashton’s injuries, reset her bones with a snap, and then carried her off the stage!
“Emmanuel, do you look down on me?” Ashton didn’t care about her injuries, nor did she care whether her limbs would recover normally. Her first concern was to know Emmanuel’s opinion.
“Do you care so much about my opinion?” Emmanuel calmly countered with a question.
This time, Ashton gritted her teeth and admitted directly. “Yes!” Looking at her, Emmanuel smiled faintly. “No. You are very brave and responsible. I believe you will get better, and you can seek revenge after you become stronger!” She was a bit astonished to hear this evaluation from him. She hadn’t expected him to speak of her in such a way and to look up to her!
“Ash!” “Ash!” As Emmanuel stepped off the stage, Zaiden and Althea rushed over with Summertons.
“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry! I failed!” Ashton blamed herself.
She had expected her parents to blame her, but unexpectedly, Zaiden just patted her shoulder lightly without saying a word.
Althea reproached her by saying, “Why didn’t you surrender earlier? Let me see how your injuries are.” Emmanuel knew that Althea didn’t like him, so he returned Ashton to them and went back to Mackenzie’s side.
“Mackenzie, I’m sorry! I messed up again!” Emmanuel apologized instinctively.
However, Mackenzie smiled and said, “You didn’t do anything wrong. Why apologize?” “You’re not blaming me?” He asked in response.
“If you were indifferent, I would think you’re not a man!” She gently held his hand and said, “Since I approve of your actions, I won’t blame you no matter what happens next, and I’ll support you!” Sage was caught off guard by the affection shown by Mackenzie and felt that Emmanuel was really going too far. How could Emmanuel arrange such a job for himself?
A single man like him would eventually be tortured to death by Emmanuel and Mackenzie!
Early the next morning, Emmanuel and Roselynn came to visit the Summerton Residence.
As they got out of the car, Roselynn took a rare deep breath, showing her nervousness.
This was her first visit to the Summerton Residence, and she came uninvited.
She afraid that Althea would embarrass her!
“Roselynn, this isn’t like you. Aren’t you always fearless? You’re not afraid of the demons and monsters in Yeringham. What can scare you now?” This sentence from Emmanuel indeed greatly encouraged Roselynn.
He was right. The entire Yeringham cursed her in the past, but wasn’t she still living well now?
Even if Althea spoke harshly, could one person’s mouth outweigh the mouths of so many people in Yeringham?
“Whom are you here to see?” At this moment, a butler-like person from the Summerton family came out and asked.
“I’m Emmanuel, and this is my sister Roselynn. We’re here to visit Ashton and pay to the Summerton family!” Emmanuel said directly.
“Please wait a moment!” The old butler used a communication device to make inquiries.
Roselynn was still worried that Althea wouldn’t let her step into the Summerton Resident, but the butler turned around and invited them in.
As soon as they entered the villa gate, Julian rushed out excitedly. When Roselynn saw his happy appearance, her previous nervousness vanished in an instant.
She didn’t care what Althea thought as long as someone welcomed her and hoped for her to be here!
After chatting with Julian for a while, the two siblings learned what had happened. It turned out that Althea had fallen ill and was currently lying in bed unconscious, so she hadn’t been taking care of the affairs today.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1490-“Can we go and visit her?” Emmanuel thought that since he was already here, seeing one patient was the same as seeing two.
“Of course!” Julian readily agreed.
Now that he had successfully courted Roselynn, he held her hand tightly as he was afraid that his girlfriend would fly away if he let go even a little.
Currently, the final hurdle for them to be together was to get his parents’ approval!
Julian knew very well that as long as his mother agreed, his father would definitely not make things difficult for them. So, taking Roselynn to see his mother now was a necessary step, regardless of the outcome!
Roselynn’s mood remained tense, and when they were about to enter Althea’s room, she couldn’t help but let go of Julian’s hand, fearing that Althea would see and cause trouble.
Julian didn’t force her. He led them into his mother’s room.
The two siblings quickly realized that Althea hadn’t woken up at all.
“Yesterday, the Summerton family didn’t secure a spot for advancement, and my was beaten so badly. It dealt a heavy blow to my mom. She fainted on the way ba night and still hasn’t woken up!” “We invited two doctors to check on her, and they both said she needs proper rest.
There’s currently no good way to help her recover quickly!” Julian explained briefly.
Roselynn couldn’t help but sympathize with Althea, and her expression was somewhat sorrowful.
Emmanuel walked directly to Althea’s bedside, took her pulse, and roughly understood her condition!
Since he had been to Skyrin Medical Clinic with Roselynn before, he directly said to her, “Roselynn, I’ll give you a prescription. Go to Skyrin Medical Clinic to pick up the herbs, come back, and make medicine for Julian’s mom. After she drinks it, she’ll definitely recover!” Roselynn nodded. “Okay.” Julian immediately volunteered. “Roselynn, I’ll go with you!” Before Roselynn could respond, the old butler came over to persuade, “Mr.
Summerton, today your uncle and the Becker family of Gratz will come to visit.
The Summerton family still needs you to stay and host them!” Since Julian had agreed to be the heir to the Summerton family, he couldn’t ignore the family’s affairs now.
Roselynn also spoke up immediately. “Julian, I’ll go alone. You stay at home!
Otherwise, when your mom wakes up and finds out, she’ll definitely be angry.” It was useless no matter how many times the butler tried to persuade Julian.
However, Julian nodded obediently and agreed to stay at the Summerton Residence to host the guests after hearing what Roselynn said.
As soon as Roselynn left the Summerton Residence, Emmanuel also planned to Ashton’s room to check on her injuries.
But as soon as he walked through the hallway of the Summerton family, he saw a grou of guests arriving.
“Ashton!” A woman in her twenties dressed beautifully with delicate makeup, rushed over enthusiastically when she saw Julian and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Why did you cut your hair? You look so spirited now and even more handsome!” The woman and Julian seemed very intimate However, Juliana her a bit and said, “Linda, we’re not children anymore. We can’t hug like we used to!” Linda Becker looked surprised and bit her little finger lightly. “But we’ve been hu like this since we were kids! We even hugged earlier this year!” Julian looked around and continued to explain seriously, “I have a girlfriend now.
I I can be so intimate with other women, even if you’re my cousin.” “What cousin? We’re not related by blood! And aren’t we destined to get married?” Linda looked like she was about to cry. She then turned to look at her parents.
Her parents hadn’t spoken yet, but another distinguished middle-aged man walked in and interrupted their conversation!
“Julian, I heard your mom fell ill. How is she doing now?” “Uncle Ronnie, you’ve come at just the right time! Let me take you to see my mother!” Julian finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led Ronnie to his mother’s room.
Althea and Linda’s mother had always had a very good relationship and they had said that their children would be married and become closer than relatives.
However, Julian was nine years older than Linda. When he was going through puberty, she was still a child who wet the bed and wore pigtails.
