Ch. 1951..1960
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1951-“Should you ever turn against the Quillen family, I’ll take down the Fletcher family without hesitation. Don’t try my patience!” As Emmanuel’s threat echoed in the room, Jake quickly concealed his unease with a strained smile. “Mr. Lowe, you have nothing to worry about.
We’re on the same side, and I wouldn’t dream of going against you. I’ll begin the search for Roselynn immediately.” “That’s exactly what I wanted to hear!” His tone grew warmer with approval.
“I’ll head to Silver Fox Military now. If you manage to find my sister, I’ll make sure they pay for it.” “Thank you, Mr. Lowe!” Jake bowed with heartfelt gratitude. His posture and the troubled look in his eyes betrayed the lingering resentment he harbored toward the Silver Fox Military.
As they were heading out, Raina burst in her face marked by concern. “Dad, several of our relatives are here. They insist on seeing both of you right Power Plays and Broken Trust away!”
Seeing her concern, Emmanuel realized that the Fletcher family wasn’t all on the same page as Jake. The image of the enchanting, masked woman from earlier lingered in his mind, and he felt a disturbing pull as if he were being drawn into the heart of the family’s intense power–struggle.
Jake frowned, clearly deep in thought. After a brief pause, he turned to Emmanuel with a request. “Mr. Lowe, would you come with me to meet my father?” “Of course,” he agreed.
He viewed the Fletcher family not just as a potential ally but as a key piece in his plan to bring down Teddy. Building strong connections was crucial, and the Fletcher family’s offer to align with him was an opportunity he wasn’t about to let slip by.
As they left the reception hall, they entered a larger chamber where an elderly man sat at the head of a long, polished table. Surrounding him were Power Ray several men, along with their wives, creating a scene of bustling activity. The Fletcher family was clearly a formidable and well–established clan, their influence and stature far exceeding that of the Quillen family.
“Good evening, everyone,” Jake said with deep respect, “allow me to introduce the Grandmaster of Nuthana, Mr. Emmanuel Lowe Despite Jake’s respectful tone, the family members eyed Emmanuel with a blend of curiosity and suspicion, their polite smiles barely masking their true feelings.
Old Mr. Fletcher rose from his seat, his demeanor courteous but firm. “Mr.
Lowe, please excuse our lack of proper greeting. We weren’t expecting you, but we’re glad to make your acquaintance.” Emmanuel, showing his respect for elders, smiled pleasantly. “Please don’t worry about it, Old Mr. Fletcher. I apologize for arriving unannounced. I hope it’s not too much of an inconvenience.” Old Mr. Fletcher, clearly aware of the situation, quickly set the tone. “Mr. Lowe, Power Plays and Broken Trust we’re currently engaged in important discussions with Ms. Tanner.
Unfortunately, we don’t have time to entertain uninvited guests. I must ask you to leave.” Although his words were polite, Emmanuel could detect a clear undercurrent of hostility. It was evident that his presence was unwelcome.
At the same moment, he figured out who the mesmerizing, masked woman was. It turned out to be Xylie, the daughter of the Tanner family. Her appearance, combined with the current turmoil, made it clear that she was working to draw the Fletcher family to their side.
“Father, Mr. Lowe must not leave, and I refuse to cooperate with the Tanner family!” Jake declared, his voice firm and defiant. “Aligning with the Tanners may seem like a step forward, but their so–called ‘reconciliation‘ is just a smokescreen to make us subordinate to the Quill family. In the end, they’ll easily swallow up our assets and resources!” His words sparked an immediate uproar among the other family members.
Heated discussions erupted, reflecting the deep divisions within the Fletcher Power Plays and Broken Trust family.
In the midst of this chaos, Emmanuel felt the gravity of the situation. The Fletcher family was deeply divided, with some eager to align with the Tanners for their own protection, while others, like Jake, were resolutely against becoming pawns to the Quills. For them, it was a matter of pride and survival. The idea of submitting to the Quills was a bitter pill to swallow, and once they committed, there would be no turning back.
Emmanuel had no intention to get entangled in the Fletcher family’s internal squabbles. Their family drama was not his concern, but the unfolding events were undeniably intriguing.
Just as he turned to leave, Jake stepped forward again, blocking his way. Mr.
Lowe, please, you’re not just an uninvited guest here. We truly appreciate you and need your help here. Let’s work together!” Before he could say a word, Damien’s voice cut through the tension with a chilling edge. “Jake, tell me you’re not seriously thinking of teaming up with the Quillens to challenge the Tanners and the Quills, are you?”
Power Plays and Broken Trust The room fell silent as every gaze turned toward Jake, the atmosphere thick with unease.
It was an obvious deduction, and Jaké had no reason to deceive anyone at this point. For any plan to work, he needed the backing of the family, especially the approval of Old Mr. Fletcher.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1952-Jake spoke with fiery determination. “That’s right. I have full faith in Mr. Lowe and Ms. Quillen. Their achievements speak for themselves, and I’m certain they can help us turn things around. This is our final chance to get the Fletcher family back on top!” His announcement sparked a flurry of intense debate among the assembled family members. Meanwhile, Emmanuel’s gaze drifted to the corner where the masked woman stood, her eyes fixed on the commotion unfolding around her.
It was apparent that Jake was making a desperate, all–or–nothing bet to bring the family together and cut off any chance of backing out. The risk was evident–one wrong move could spell disaster.
“Are you out of your mind?” Damien took a step back. “This is just your own opinion, and you can’t make decisions for all of us!” Damien was clearly trying to stay on the good side of the Tanner family. The The Turning Tide last thing he wanted was for Xylle to see him as an enemy.
“Dames, why are you so scared?” Jake fired back with frustration. “Why should we keep quiet while the Quill family takes over our docks and billion–dollar contracts? Are we just going to let them do whatever they want?” His passionate outburst ignited a storm of mixed reactions in the room. While many voiced their agreement or outrage, others remained doubtful or sided with Damien, wondering if Emmanuel and Mackenzie could truly make a difference.
“Jake, that’s enough!” Damien snapped, directing his anger at Emmanuel.
“This guy here couldn’t even save the Quillen family from falling apart, and now he’s talking about taking down the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce? What a joke. You might as well start begging Ms. Tanner for mercy before-” Before he could get another word out, Emmanuel’s expression turned icy.
With a nearly imperceptible flick of his wrist, he struck Damien with an invisible force, sending him crashing to the ground. Damien’s face turned a The Turning Tide deep red and began to swell from the unseen blow.
#t “What… What just happened?” The room erupted with gasps and whispers of shock. Those who had been leaning toward an alliance with the Tanner family now drew back in fear, their faces pale and eyes wide with terror.
Even the masked woman lurking at the edge of the hall seemed visibly shaken.
Is he capable of such power? Just how strong is Emmanuel? Can Mr. Gwain actually stand a chance against him?
Emmanuel’s face remained expressionless as he coldly stated, “How dare ȧ mere nobody like you speak to me in such a way? Ridiculous!” The room fell into a frigid silence, the air thick with the weight of his unspoken threat.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside the hall. Moments later, a frantic butler rushed in, his face pale with urgency. “Old Mr. Fletcher! Mr. Fletcher!
The Turning Tide Another force from the war realm has shown up. They’re threatening us to remove our forces from Starcrest Port immediately, or they’ll take action!”
The Fletcher family’s faces grew dark with fury. Jake slammed his teacup onto the table, his frustration boiling over as he pointed at his fallen brother.
“Take a good look! The Quill family won’t stop until we’re wiped out. Do you really think they’ll spare us if we give in? By then, we won’t even get a chance to fight back!” Old Mr. Fletcher, with his teeth clenched in anger, commanded the butler, “Bring in all the bodyguards right away and get them out to deal with this!” “Right away, Sir!” The butler hurried off to execute the orders.
Old Mr. Fletcher and the rest of the family left the hall, their faces etched with grim determination. Sage, now ready with his preparations, slipped back into the reception hall, where the Fletcher family was too absorbed in their own crisis to notice him.
He leaned in and asked quietly, “What’s our next move?”
The Turning Tide Emmanuel responded with a composed tone, “Keep the Wolf Warrior Elite Battalion deployed around Eldoria’s perimeter and get ready for battle. Be ready for my orders.” Whether or not he came to an agreement with the Fletcher family, he knew he had to face the Quill family, who served as Teddy’s enforcers in Eldoria. With just over two months until the new election for the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, it was crucial to strike a decisive blow to his forces to ensure his downfall.
Sage acknowledged the plan with a quick nod.
“Got it!” he said, then went off to set things in motion.
Outside the Fletcher’s place, the villa was surrounded by more than a thousand heavily armed soldiers. Emmanuel and Sage stepped out into the front yard to get a closer look, only to be surprised by the sight of a familiar face among the crowd.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1953- The man leading the way was dressed in a military uniform, with another rugged, muscular man behind him. The latter’s deeply tanned skin and cold, sharp gaze made him seem particularly intimidating “That’s Lieutenant Colonel Gerald Cook from the Silver Fox Military “And the man with him? I heard he’s Robert Rodrick, a legendary instructor from abroad!” “Robert Rodrick? Is that for real? He’s the renowned chief instructor of the
Griffin Corps!” “D*mn! I didn’t expect the Silver Fox Military to have such extensive connections!” Members of the Fletcher Family exchanged anxious whispers, their faces betraying fear. As businessmen, they felt powerless against these battle–hardened men, who not only had strong backing but also commanded troops with impunity in Yeringham.
A Facing the Storm: Fletcher vs Silver What could they possibly do? In the end, the saying-“a scholar can’t argue with a soldier“-definitely applied to their situation.
“Lieutenant Colonel Cook, why have you brought your troops to the Fletcher Family?” Riley asked, biting the bullet.
“Old Mr. Fletcher, hasn’t your steward told you? Or are you just pretending not to know?” Gerald retorted with arrogance, disregarding the fact that Fletcher was the head of a prominent business family in Eldoria. To him, these wealthy families seemed as fragile as paper, easily flattened by his power and military strength.
Riley’s expression grew cold. Although the Fletcher family couldn’t confront the Silver Fox Military directly, they still had some recourse. If the situation escalated and attracted media attention, there would surely be a backlash against the Silver Fox Military’s actions.
“Gerald, don’t push us too far! Eldoria is a law–abiding society, and we are respectable business leaders. We also control several media outlets. We will ensure you face the consequences if you harm our people without cause!” #
Facing the Storm: Fletcher vs Jake stepped forward, pointing angrily at him. As he spoke, people around them started recording videos as evidence, 11 Gerald, however, laughed disdainfully, “Oh, trying to threaten us with the media? Just so you know, the Silver Fox Military has a partnership with the Eldoria government and is authorized to patrol and train within the city. What can you do about it?” Jake and the others were infuriated by his arrogant demeanor. However, they felt utterly powerless, knowing that Teddy and the Quill Family manipulated the situation behind the scenes.
“Stop talking nonsense. Let’s get to the point!” Gerald responded haughtily, “Starcrest Port is now under the control of the Eldoria authorities. The Fletcher family must evacuate immediately or face the consequences!” “That’s absurd! The Quill family is clearly eyeing our dock! They’ve fabricated official documents to have the Eldoria authorities requisition our port at a low Facing the Storm: Fletcher vs Silver price, with plans to transfer it to the Quill family later, right?” Jake shot back angrily.
Riley joined in furiously, “The Quill family used the same tactic to seize the Stewart family’s dock before. Are they trying to pull the same trick on us?” “We will not be intimidated! Your villainous actions would be exposed!” The members of the Fletcher Family were furious and filled with righteous indignation.
Ignoring their shouts and curses, Gerald waved his hand. A squad of soldiers forcefully made their way in, confiscating all the phones and cameras from the Fletcher Family members. They also ruthlessly destroyed all the recording, equipment.
“This is outrageous! They’re going too far! We’re going to fight back!” Riley, maintaining his dignity as one of Eldoria’s elite families, couldn’t just stand by while they were being bullied.
However, their bodyguards had just been subdued by Emmanuel and Sage.
Facing the Storm: Fletcher vs Silver The remaining guards hadn’t had a chance to regroup before Robert charged in, kicking down a large group.
Soon after, countless gun barrels were pointed at the Fletcher Farmilly, making them too afraid to move.
“Ah, Mr. Rodrick, you are indeed as imposing and renowned as your reputation suggests!” Gerald praised Robert effusively. He had been his instructor during his military days abroad, and due to his mentorship, Gerald had risen to a prominent position in the Silver Fox Military.
In many ways, Robert had supported Gerald.
With a cold and proud demeanor, Robert responded, “I am greatly disappointed in the Fletcher Family. Not a single one of you is worth fighting!
The Fletcher Family members were seething with rage but felt utterly powerless.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1954-“Haha! The Fletcher Family is defiantly resisting the Silver Fox Military’s mission in Eldoria. It’s time to take decisive action! Move in!” Confident and fearless, Gerald waved his hand to signal the soldiers to subdue the Fletcher Family.
He intended to use violence to force their submission.
In no time, the front yard of the Fletchers‘ villa was reduced to rubble. Not only were the property and structures destroyed, but the soldiers were also preparing to attack both Riley and Jake.
Damien and the others, hiding in the back, grumbled to themselves, “They brought this on themselves! They want to rebel against the Quill Family, who have the support of the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. How could they possibly win?” Bang! Bang!
Just as Jake and Raina were desperately trying to shield their father from the Silver Fox Military, Sage suddenly intervened and kicked the soldiers away.
The Unexpected Master: Revelations in The entire scene fell into stunned silence.
“D*mn it, the Fletcher Family has such a skilled fighter?” Gerald roared in anger. “Let’s see how good you are! Target him!” As his order was given, countless gun barrels were aimed at Sage. Despite this, he remained unflinching.
“It’s you?!” Robert recognized Sage immediately. He had encountered him on the battlefield before when he had accompanied Smith to Yeringham.
Noting that Robert and Sage were acquainted, Gerald hesitated, reluctant to proceed recklessly. Meanwhile, the Fletcher Family members held their breath, watching the unfolding scene with anxious silence.
“Why are you aiding the wicked, Robert?” A cold voice rose in the midst of the commotion. Emmanuel stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze sharp and unwavering.
Damien and the others couldn’t help but sneer at his boldness in addressing The (Robert dea If Robert and Gerald eliminate Emmanuel today, I wonder how Joke will still entertain allying with the Quill Familly, it seems like a laughable notion!
Jake and the Fletcher Family members were also on edge. They had never seen his true strength, and they feared for his safety against Robert, who had the backing of the Silver Fox Military.
But to their astonishment, Robert bowed deeply upon seeing him. With g respect, he exclaimed, “Greetings, Master!” What? Master?!
In an instant, the entire scene descended into chaos. Gerald, who had once been Robert’s disciple, was particularly shocked. If this man is Robert’s Master, he must be my Grandmaster!
“You stay behind to explain to me. The rest of you, get out immediately!” Emmanuel ordered coldly.
The Unexpected Master: Revelations in “Yes, Master!” Robert did not dare to defy the order. Besides Emmanuel being his Master, his boss, Smith, also had significant military contracts with the Terence Group.
“Gerald, you and your men must retreat immediately!” “But Mr. Rodrick, the mission isn’t finished yet!” Gerald protested, visibly agitated.
“Are you defying my orders?” Robert’s expression darkened with a threat.
Gerald had no choice but to grit his teeth in frustration. He waved his hand and commanded, “Fall back!” Diamond Titan Military Technologies was both a major supplier of weapons for the Silver Fox Military and one of their key supporters. Given his dependence on Robert’s reputation, Gerald couldn’t afford to defy his orders.
Witnessing the scene, the Fletcher Family members were left in stunned silence. Damien, who had recently ridiculed Emmanuel, was now pale from The Unexpected Master: Revelations in shock, never anticipating that Emmanuel possessed such formidable power, Having witnessed everything, the masked woman quietly left the Fletchers‘ place through the back door with her bodyguards.
With such a formidable enemy, the Tanner Family will likely face significant challenges in the future.
“Mr. Fletcher, may I borrow your place?” Emmanuel asked.
“Certainly! Please follow me, Mr. Lowe!” Jake responded, feeling a sense of relief. He was now determined to cling to his powerful support, as it was their only lifeline in resisting the Quill Family.
Emmanuel nodded and entered the villa with him. Robert, who had previously exuded such authority, now trailed behind with his head bowed, appearing like a child caught in the act.
“Robert, what’s going on? Why are you involved with the Silver Fox Military?” Emmanuel demanded.
The Unexpected Master: Revelations in Robert, looking innocent, replied, “Master, as you know, Diamond Titan Military Technologies has always maintained good relations with many armed groups worldwide to ensure benefits and security. I wasn’t aware that the Silver Fox Military was your enemy. Otherwise, I would never have helped them.”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1955-Emmanuel had deliberately left Jake around because he was the Fletcher family’s head, but more importantly, the man had expressed the intention to side with Emmanuel. Therefore, he knew that he had to show Jake he somewhat trusted him.
Jake’s admiration for Emmanuel soared when he heard Robert’s explanation, considering how reputable Robert was in the war realm.
Even the famous instructor of the Griffin Corps has to call Emmanuel ‘Master This shows how powerful he truly is. He definitely has the strength to compete with Teddy.
“Now that you are aware of the issue, what would you do about it?” Emmanuel turned up the pressure on Robert. If he had to be honest, his relationship with Robert might have been one of master and disciple, but it was only in name, so he wouldn’t pressure Robert.
Whether Robert was worth keeping around depended entirely on what he could achieve next.
I Have a Request “Master, I’ll cut all ties with Gerald and stop Diamond Titan Military Technologies from working with Silver Fox Military immediately!” Robert said without hesitation.
“More than ninety percent of Silver Fox Military weapons were supplied by Diamond Titan Military Technologies. Once we stop their supply, they’ll quickly run out of weapons. By then, they’ll be nothing but a lion without claws!” Jake was thrilled upon hearing those words. That was precisely what he had requested Emmanuel to do, and it seemed that his wish was about to be fulfilled!
With Silver Fox Military stripped of all their power and weapons, the Quill family can no longer use their military power to bully others!
Emmanuel nodded and said coldly to Robert, “Don’t you dare disappoint me!” “Yes, Master!” Robert replied with a salute. He then added, “Master, I have a request!” I Have a Request “Spill it!” 11 Emmanuel was pragmatic, hence he was not surprised by Robert’s request He was aware that at the heart of relationships were interests, especially in a master–disciple relationship like theirs.
If Robert had acted on his feelings without discussing the benefits, it would have triggered Emmanuel’s suspicions of him.
“If I help you take down the Silver Fox Military, please teach me the Drago Hold Technique,” Robert asked, bowing his head.
Just like Nathan, he was blown away after watching Emmanuel’s Dragan Haid Technique and swore he wouldn’t stop until he mastered it.
Nathan lacked the foundational skills and talent for martial arts, so he achieved nothing even after prolonged practice. In contrast, Robert had practiced diligently for half a year and made some headway, but still couldn’t grasp Emmanuel’s level of remote grabbing.
As that, Emmanuel used his remote–grabbing technique to pull the painting pinned to the room’s wall toward him!
Witnessing Emmanuel’s power for the first time, Jake’s expression shifted to one of utter astonishment. No wonder even Robert acknowledges him as his Master! Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Robert marveled at how Emmanuel’s skills had improved since their previous meeting.
“Alright, Master, I’ll get on it right away!” Being a soldier, Robert was quick and decisive in his actions. After he finished his words, he immediately turned to leave the room.
“Wait!” Emmanuel called out. “I need you to completely eliminate the Silver Fox Military. They are Teddy’s minions and need to be eradicated. Can you make their weapons unusable within a week?” “What?” I Have a Request Jake was stunned. From his perspective, the only solution seemed to be stopping the weapon supply from Diamond Titan Military Technologies. To his surprise, Emmanuel’s demands were even more severe!
“Master, this might be a bit challenging!” Robert was eager to agree, as doing so would help him gain favor with Emmanuel. If he could fulfill the request, he would not only learn martial arts but also facilitate collaborations between Diamond Titan Military Technologies and Terence Group. This would allow his side to continue advancing with the latest engine developments and potentially lead the defense industry in the future.
Nonetheless, Emmanuel’s terms were really harsh!
“Cut the excuses!” Emmanuel’s face remained impassive, exuding a commanding aura. “Is it doable? I’ll determine your reward based on your performance!” Robert hesitated briefly and then replied through gritted teeth, “Master, I’ll Have a Request complete the task!” “Good!” Emmanuel nodded and signaled him to get on with it.
Jake’s admiration for Emmanuel deepened, and he became convinced that his decision to join Emmanuel’s side had been the right one.
After Robert left, Jake and Emmanuel were the only ones left in the room.
Instead of flattering Emmanuel, Jake directly suggested, “Mr. Lowe, since we’re determined to take down the Tanner family and deal with the Quill family, we need to ally with the Toma Family!” “The Toma Family?” Emmanuel frowned slightly at the name.
His immediate priority was finding his sister Roselynn, followed by the Chamber of Commerce chairman election in two months.
Jake added, “I’ve already instructed my men to use all the Fletcher family’s resources in Eldoria to find your sister, but there’s no news yet. With the Toma Have a Request Family’s help, it might significantly speed things up!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1956-Are You Talking to Us?
“What do you mean by that?” Emmanuel asked.
Jake continued, “While the Fletcher family excels in the transportation and information sectors, the Toma family has movable assets throughout Eldoria and a powerful network of connections. If they’re willing to help us gather information, we should be able to locate your sister quickly!” “Let’s go then!” Emmanuel said after hearing his explanation.
His decisiveness caught Jake aback. Still, he quickly regained his composure and stepped forward to lead the way.
Meanwhile, Shane had also followed Emmanuel to Eldoria.
However, Emmanuel was too occupied with his own matters to pay him any attention.
The bored Shane was not involved with the matters of the Wolf Warrior Unit, so he wandered into the commercial district of Eldoria, hoping to find 0 Are You Talking to Us?
Roselynn by chance.
“Hello, have you seen this woman?” His most notable traits were his shamelessness and audacity. Thus, he didn’t hesitate to stop passersby on the street to inquire about Roselynn.
However, he received nothing but headshakes after showing her photo to numerous people.
“Roselynn, where could you be?” Feeling rather disheartened, Shane collapsed onto a bench in the busy commercial district.
Roselynn had always treated him as a younger brother. Since he was an orphan, he also had a deep affection for Roselynn, regarding her as his true older sister.
Now that Alessandra had passed away, Emmanuel would be heartbroken if anything happened to Roselynn.
Are You Talking to Us?
This thought filled Shane with profound sadness.
However, his mood suddenly brightened when he saw two beautiful women emerge from the nearby mall entrance To be honest, the two women weren’t exceptionally stunning–far from Beatrix’s beauty and certainly not comparable with Mackenzie’s. Yet, their demeanor was what Shane preferred.
Both women had fair, smooth skin. On top of that, they had sparkling eyes that made them gentle and endearing.
After his painful experience confessing to Beatrix, Shane lost interest in women with fiery personalities. He found it pointless to pursue or interact with such women, regardless of their looks.
Thus, when he saw those two endearing women, he decided to take the initiative to pursue them.
He certainly didn’t want to be like Frederick, who was still single at 30. If he Are You Talking to Us?
wanted to escape the single life, he had to start working hard while he was young!
‘Ladies! Wait for me!” Shane rushed forward and called out impulsively.
Yet, he overestimated his courage.
As two women turned around, he made eye contact with the woman in the pink dress and immediately felt his body tingle with electricity.
This can only mean one thing. It’s love! I’m experienced enough to recognize it! Shane’s face flushed in the color of beets, and his mind wandered off instantly. If I could marry someone like her, have kids with her, and have domestic bliss, that would be an idyllic future! Frederick would surely be jealous of me, and Santiago would be thrilled, too!
“Shane? Is that you?” “Are you talking to us?” MAINONS 3 Are You Talking to Us?
The two women were surprisingly friendly and did not ignore Shane. When he suddenly zoned out, they were anxious, repeatedly waving their hands in front of him to catch his attention.
The woman in the pink dress was Sonia Toma, a 24–year–old daughter of the Toma family. She had just received a call from her father, informing her that her grandfather was critically ill and that she needed to return home immediately to say her last goodbyes.
She had been shopping with her friend when she got the call, so she hurriedly prepared to leave.
However, she ran into this odd young boy right as she left the mall.
Initially, she thought he might have been sent by her father to pick her up, but he didn’t seem to be.
“Yes! I’m talking to you!” Shane snapped out of his daze and quickly flashed a bright smile.
Are You Talking to Us?
“What can we do for you? Do we know each other?” Jenny asked gently. She was dressed in white yoga pants and a light blue top, giving off an innocent vibe.
Shane was a clever and perceptive boy. Noticing their anxious expressions, he realized that they might be in a hurry to leave. If he claimed he was searching for someone, they would likely tell him they hadn’t seen the person and quickly leave.
If that were to happen, the chance of getting their contact information, developing a relationship, and eventually starting a family would be lost!
Therefore, he decided against this approach as it would be akin to shooting himself in the foot. Struck by sudden inspiration, Shane said cheerfully, “Ladies, I suddenly have a bad omen that something unfortunate might happen to you, so I’m here to warn you!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1957-Shane’s Unexpected Encounter Ever since he had started working, Shane often slacked off, only to read novels.
Out of all the novels he read, dozens of them had the premise of masters emerging from the mountains with their opening on how the protagonist used the worn–out trick to approach the heroine.
As a result, he could only rely on this for his approach. Who would have expected that it would work, even though it’s an old trick?
Sonia was surprised. After shooting a glance at her best friend, Rhea, she turned to meet Shane’s gaze, even grabbing his hand in anxiety.
Whoa! Such an action caused his heart to flutter. Could this actually work?
Could my luck with women be turning around? Did the authors of the novels lie?
“Shane, judging from your unusual build and…. different appearance, you are definitely a master from the mountain,” she said in one breath. “You guessed U.
Shane’s Unexpected Encounter it right. My grandpa’s critically ill. Would you be able to save him?” 84%
It was only then that Shane realized that he had made a correct guest. Man, I’m such a lucky one. “Ye-” He was about to answer with confidence when Sonia interrupted, continuing, “My family’s not an easy one to handle. So, if you can cure my grandpa, a handsome reward will be waiting for you. However, if you’re a fraud, you’ll meet your downfall.
Shane tensed up at that. Smiling, he quickly changed his approach. “What I meant is destiny has brought us together. I’m probably meant to help you. I just remembered that I have urgent matters to attend to, so why don’t we- Screw it. I better split while I can. I barely know anything about medicine.
Shane knew his place well enough to know that life did not imitate art. He wasn’t a divine doctor from the mountains. If he was caught masquerading as one, the consequences would be severe!
Shane’s Unexpected Encounter As he was about to leave, the woman in white yoga pants grabbed his arm, feeling agitated. “Shane,” she asked, “have we met before?” “What do you mean?” Had a beauty like her approached him in such a manner moments ago, he would have been ecstatic! However, he now responded with an air of caution, “Miss, don’t hit on handsome guys with such a method. I don’t know you, so there’s no point clinging to me like a leech.” He tried to break free from her grip to avoid being dragged back to practice medicine and run the risk of being caught.
Yet, she exclaimed in excitement, “You must be Manuel’s junior, aren’t you?” Manuel? Shane was taken aback. So, it’s not my dashing looks that you chatted me up.
“Sonia, I think your grandpa might just be saved!” she continued. “Manuel is a divine doctor with unparalleled skills. If this man here is his junior, his skills Shane’s Unexpected Encounter should be just as good.” Shane was speechless yet again. What kind of logic is that? Even Einstein and Socrates can’t hold a candle to you!
“Rhea, are you sure?” Such words made Sonia just as excited. She tightly gripped Shane’s hand, and as her eyes sparkled, she asked, “Sir, are your medical skills and those of your senior really as awesome as what Rhea said?” “Well, our average level is rather high. Think of it as an eight–story tall building.” He reluctantly released Sonia’s hand but was adamant about telling the truth. With Emmanuel’s skills comparable to a 15–story building and mine only at the first story, averaging it out brings us to the equivalent of an eight–story tall building.
“Then, quickly save my grandpa!” At that, Sonia yanked Shane along with her.
“My father also added that my grandpa has only three more hours to live,” she continued, by way of explanation. “If we delay any longer, we’d be too late!” Shane’s Unexpected Encounter Rhea had no idea that Emmanuel was in Yeringham and never thought of reaching out for help.
If Shane could admit it, he did not want to leave with them, but it was hard f him to refuse when the two innocent ladies–Sonia and Rhea–yanked him along.
I’d have to take the risks to reap the rewards. I mean, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Ah, forget it. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.
Caught being a rock and a hard place, he eventually decided to take the risk and go for it! My medical skills? Sorry, I have none!
Not long after the ladies pulled Shane into the Toma family’s place, Emmanuel also arrived with Jake, only to be held back by the guards.
“My apologies, Mr. Fletcher. Old Mr. Toma is critically ill, so the Tomas aren’t welcoming any visitors.” su.
Shane’s Unexpected Encounter “What? He’s critically ill?” Jake paled. Turning to Emmanuel, he continued, “Mr.
Lowe, sh*t has just hit the fan.”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1958-“Why? Say it!” Emmanuel disliked beating around the bush.
“Ah, yes!” Jake leaned in close to Emmanuel’s ear, whispering softly, “Old Mr. Toma, much like me, is unwilling to submit to the Quill family. However, his eldest son, Cezar, is complacent, while his second son, Denis, is more ambitious.
“If Old Mr. Toma dies now and the power of the Tomas falls into Cezar’s hands, our plan to join forces with the Toma family against the Quill and Tanner families will be ruined.” Emmanuel nodded slightly, his expression turning serious.
Without the Toma family’s help, dealing with Teddy Mole would be far more difficult. We might even gain a new enemy. However, the most important thing now is to leverage the Toma family’s resources to quickly locate my The Unexpected Savior sister.
“I must ensure Old Mr. Toma stays alive! Emmanuels face grew serious as he made a quick decision and leaped into action.
Jake was taken aback, wondering how Emmanuel planned to save Old Mr.
Toma. However, when he looked up, Emmanuel was nowhere to be seen.
“This man is truly extraordinary!” Jake murmured in admiration, felt a surge of hope rising within him, eagerly awaiting the miracle that might be about to happen.
Meanwhile, Shane was escorted into the Toma family mansion, his eyes wandering around in awe.
This place is extravagant! It is the premise of a story where an underdog defies all odds to marry a beautiful heiress.
He felt like his story was about to begin.
The Unexpected Savior Yeringham might have been where Emmanuel found his success, but Eldoria? This would be where my story starts. What kind of story will I have when I become a wealthy family’s son–in–law? Will I marry an heiress, live a life of luxury, and reach the peak of success? Just thinking about it excites me!
“Sonia, who did you bring home with you?” Just as Shane was getting lost in his daydream, imagining his life with Sonia and almost entering the storyline of having children, a cold voice interrupted his thoughts.
He snapped back to reality and looked up to find a woman standing at the staircase, wearing silk stockings and a dress. From where he was standing, he got an eyeful–and what a view it was.
However, the moment he caught the woman’s disdainful gaze, he quickly reined himself in.
I can’t have people thinking I’m some kind of creep!
The Unexpected Savior “Carmen, this is the divine doctor I brought back to save Grandpa!” Sonia announced to the woman standing on the stairs.
“Save Grandpa? He’s beyond saving! Just don’t bother him anymore.” Carmen sneered.
Carmen was Cezar’s daughter. If her grandfather passed away, the family business would naturally go to Cezar and his family. Deep down, she couldn’t help but almost wish for her grandfather’s death to come sooner.
Sonía clenched her fists, finding Carmen heartless.
Rhea glanced at Shane. Aren’t you going to defend yourself?
However, Shane simply answered, “Alright. We won’t bother him then. See you!” After all, I’m only here to try my luck. Carmen has now given me an out. Why not take it?
Sonia and Rhea were both stunned. How could you be so spineless?
The Unexpected Savior “Shane, please don’t leave! If you can save my grandpa, I’ll repay you however you want!” Sonia cried, grabbing his arm desperately.
He was totally hooked when he saw Sonia’s soft, pleading gaze.
How can I leave now?
Carmen scoffed again and continued, “Sonia, I’m warning you. There are other elders and the renowned Dr. Gabi Ghezzo from Eldoria in Grandpa’s room. If you insist on bringing some oddball to treat Grandpa and something goes wrong, you’ll be held responsible!” Hearing this, Shane was ready to leave again. Good heavens, this is no joke!
However, Sonia gritted her teeth. “Even if that happens, I still want to try! I want Grandpa to live!” Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
Her grandfather had always had a soft spot for her, hauling her off to theme 5/6 The Unexpected Savior parks and even dragging her along on They were as close as could be.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1959-A Gamble with Fate If her grandfather passed away, Sonia would be devastated, That left Shane with no options, like a fish out of water. He had no choice but to go along with it.
Soon, they arrived outside a large room on the third floor of the mansion.
Inside, a man who appeared to be an assistant was enthusiastically boasting, “Members of the Toma family, you have my deepest condolences!
Let me tell you, Dr. Ghezzo isn’t just the top doctor in Eldoria; he’s one of the best in the entire country. If he says someone can’t be saved, not even a god could change that!” Hearing that load of hot air, Shane couldn’t help but snort “out of respect.” He thought it was harmless, but in the somber atmosphere, where everyone else was silent with grief, his snicker rang out, sharp and intrusive.
“Who? Who just scoffed?” The assistant immediately grew agitated, feeling like someone had challenged his words, daring to make a fool of him.
A Gamble with Fate All eyes turned toward the source of the sound. The focus quickly landed on Shane–the short, chubby, and eccentric young man had suddenly become the center of attention.
“Was it you, fat boy?” Cezar glared coldly at Shane. “My father is on the brink of death, and everyone here is grieving. Who do you think you are, laughing like that? Who even brought you here?” Everyone was curious–no one seemed to know this odd character.
“Uncle Cezar, I brought him,” Sonia spoke up, biting her lip. “He’s a highly skilled master from outside the city. He said he could save Grandpa, so I brought him home.“ The room erupted in murmurs of surprise. Shane’s eyes widened. What the hell?! When did I ever say that?!
“Miss, don’t exaggerate! I only said I could try-” “Really?” Before Shane could explain further, Denis jumped in, eagerly shaking A Gamble with Fate Shane’s hand. “You’re clearly someone special–just look at you! You must have extraordinary abilities! Please, I beg you, save my father!” “Uh… well… uh…” Shane was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Sonia and Denis were both praising him–one calling him a reclusive master, the other claiming he had extraordinary talents. Shane had never received this kind of praise in his 20 years of life! He had tried so hard to hide his mediocrity, yet his future wife and father–in–law had somehow figured him out. It had to be fate!
But what good was fate if he didn’t have the skills to back it up? What was he supposed to do now?
“You can’t be serious, Sonia! How can you be so sure this fat guy is really that skilled? He looks more like a farmer than a miracle worker!” Carmen, with arms crossed, sneered from the side.
Before Shane could fire back, Sonia defended him passionately. “I’m not mistaken! When he saw me on the street, he figured out Grandpa’s illness A Gamble with Fate without me saying a word. And Rhea told me his senior is a renowned doctor in Nuthana. He’s definitely got the skills!” Oh, man… Shane cringed internally. Sure, Manny’s a genius, but what does that have to do with me? But with Sonia standing up for him like that, he couldn’t undermine her faith in him.
Carmen scoffed again, rolling her eyes. “Fine, let’s see this play out then. If Dr.
Ghezzo declared there’s no hope, I doubt this guy can do anything. But hey, I’m all ears.” The rest of the family didn’t seem convinced either, and Gabi’s assistant, in particular, looked furious, as if Shane had come to undermine their authority.
“Young man, are we not offering you enough? Is that why you hesitate to help?” Denis Toma, growing desperate, threw out a wild offer. “If you save my father, I’ll give you my daughter’s hand in marriage. Or, if you prefer, name your price!” Wait, what? Shane’s hand dropped from his face, his eyes widening in shock A Gamble with Fate as he looked at his future father–in–law, “Are you serious?” Unbelievable!
The Toma family elders exchanged disbelieving glances, all thinking the same thing: This shameless chubby guy actually wants to marry Sonia? Even Carmen rolled her eyes in disdain. Does this pig really think he can win the prize?
Sonia’s face turned beet red, mortified that her father would make such an offer. But for the sake of her beloved grandfather, she stayed silent.
“That’s right. Or, if you prefer, we can discuss money-” Denis had still hoped to pay Shane off with cash.
To his surprise, Shane gripped Denis‘ hand tightly. “Money isn’t important to someone like me. I’m not interested in material wealth. But seeing how sincere you are, Dad, I’ll make an exception and help you out this time!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1960-With just a little energy infused, Ewald’s organs would begin functioning again.
To modern medicine, this would seem utterly impossible, but to the practitioners of the Divine Valley Medical Arts, it was no big deal, provided the healer had sufficient inner strength. Emmanuel didn’t need to transfer much energy–just enough to give Ewald Toma an additional year or two of life.
The Toma family watched in awe. Even though they weren’t well–versed in medicine, seeing the faint wisps of smoke rising from the silver needles made it clear just how miraculous Emmanuel’s skills were.
Suddenly, Ewald’s eyes snapped open, and to everyone’s shock, he sat upright in bed. Cezar and Carmen both jumped in surprise.
W–What’s happening?” “Is this… Is this real?” A Life Restored Some of the women in the room stammered as if they’d just seen a ghost.
Moments ago, Ewald had been at death’s door, but now he was sitting up, fully conscious.
#t “Am I alive, or is this the afterlife?” Ewald himself couldn’t believe it. He looked at his hands, feeling the strength returning to his body. It was as if he’d been transported back to when he was 60.
“Father, this is amazing! You’re alive!” “Grandpa!” Sonia and Denis rushed forward, dropping to their knees beside the bed in sheer relief and joy.
Denis, through tears, explained, “Sonia found a miracle doctor to save you!” “What? I’m really alive?” Ewald’s voice quivered with excitement, and he, too, could hardly believe it.
A Life Restored The rest of the family stood speechless, unable to deny what had just transpired before their eyes.
“Old Mr. Toma, my name is Emmanuel Low, the son–in–law of the Quillen family of Nuthana. I need to discuss something with you, so I can’t let you die just yet,” Emmanuel stated plainly.
“Sorry?” Ewald blinked in surprise.
Everyone else in the room was equally astonished. So, this is the Grandmaster of Nuthana we’ve heard about–no wonder his skills are so extraordinary!
“Very well,” Ewald said, recovering from his surprise. He had heard the stories of Emmanuel and the Quillen family and immediately commanded, “Denis, make sure to prepare everything properly. We must give Dr. Lowe the reception he deserves!” “Yes, Father!” Denis replied eagerly, rushing to make arrangements.
Gabil sighed, then quietly sipped out of the room. His reputation as Eldoria’s miracle doctor had just taken a massive blow.
“Dr. Ghezzo, where are you going?” Cezar called after him, knowing this was the man he had brought in to save his father. But the truth was, Cezar had invited Ghezzo out of necessity, not belief in his abilities. He had never truly expected him to succeed ‘Don’t call me that. Eldora no longer has a Dr. Ghezzo Gabi muttered Though he had allowed his students and assistants to inftate his reputation, he still had enough self–awareness to know when he had been outclassed After seeing Emmanual’s medical prowess, he realized that his own skills were child’s play by comparison.
Haha, Miss Toma didn’t tell you I wouldn’t let you down?” Shane said, grinning as he stepped toward Sonia, eager to take credit Sonia’s face flushed a deep red unsure how to respond. Am I really supposed to marry this guy?
A Life Restored Meanwhile, Denis stayed with Emmanuel in the reception hall, waiting for Ewald to emerge from his room. Shane, of course, sat close by, occasionally sneaking glances at Sonia, who kept her head down, saying nothing. She didn’t respond to Shane’s advances, but she didn’t seem angry either.
After some time, Ewald finally appeared in the reception hall. Thanks to Emmanuel’s intervention, Jake Fletcher was also allowed in. The sight of Ewald, now looking healthier than ever, left Jake just as shocked as the rest of the Toma family.
“Old Mr. Toma, seeing you alive lifts a huge weight off my shoulders!” Jake exclaimed, his excitement plain to see. “I’m sure you’ve all now witnessed Mr.
Lowe’s skill. The Fletcher family has already decided to ally with the Quillen family, and with Mr. Lowe’s help, we will take down Teddy Tanner. We can’t allow the Quill family to continue lording over us!” His words sent a ripple of shock through the Toma family members. As Jake pointed out, their situation was much like that of the Fletchers. The family was divided into two factions, and up until now, they hadn’t known Emmanuel leaving them hesitant. But after what they had witnessed, their A Life Restored indecision began to melt away.
Denis was the first to step forward in support, turning to Ewald and saying, “Father, I agree with Jake. We should ally with the Fletcher family and support Mr. Lowe in taking down Teddy Tanner. If we let him stay in power any longer, our family might not survive.”
