Ch. 241..250

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 241-Although Claudette’s legs were starting to numb, she still had some sensation. Emmanuel was a gynecologist focused on saving her with a clear gaze, but her face couldn’t help but burn.

“Pfft-” At this moment, he had no other thoughts in his mind other than detoxifying her. Another mouthful of venom spurted out, gradually reducing the swelling of her wound.

Fortunately, he treated her just in time. Otherwise, the consequences would novelbin have been unimaginable.

Her lips turned pale, and sweat covered her forehead, but her cheeks were blushed. She felt extremely embarrassed. Whom would I marry if not Dr.

Lowe? But how could he endure this? Does he feel nothing about my body?

What about when he sees Mackenzie’s body?

Suddenly, she became anxious and felt her heart wrench.

On the other hand, Isaac, alone, couldn’t find the whereabouts of the two, so he had to go back and deal with the scene first. Since Claudette was bitten by the cobra, she’s as good as dead. I will just need to find a way to ensure that Emmanuel doesn’t come back alive, and this matter will remain without evidence. I’m not afraid of an ordinary person like him anyway. What can he do to me without any evidence?

As the sky darkened, many people playing laser tag had already gone back.

Elizabeth and Beatrix had been waiting at the entrance, but Emmanuel and Claudette were nowhere to be seen. When they tried calling them, no one answered.

To prevent cheating, the management banned mobile phones inside the gaming venue, so their phones were currently stored in lockers.

Gradually, Beatrix started to feel anxious and regretful about secretly sending the video of Emmanuel and Claudette together to Mackenzie. What have I done? Why did I agree with Grandpa to provoke Mackenzie? What if Manuel and Claudette don’t come out tonight? What will she do?

At this thought, she decided that they should make a move. “Why don’t we call the police?” “Maybe we shouldn’t,” Elizabeth said. She knew Claudette had come for Emmanuel tonight, and it was a rare opportunity for them to have some alone time. If we call the police, it will ruin Claudette’s plan. That’s terrible.

“Why call the police? It’s normal for people to stay overnight on this battlefield. Everyone always comes out safely in the end. Don’t worry. They’re fine.” Isaac also stopped Beatrix from calling the police. Emmanuel is still alive. If the police come down here, he may expose us.

After hearing that, Beatrix had no choice but to give up.

” At 11.00PM, in the Yociam Residence, Mackenzie wanted to lock the door but hesitated to do so. She knew where Emmanuel had gone tonight and expected him to come back late, but she didn’t anticipate him not returning by 11.00PM.

After some thought, she breathed a sigh of relief and decided to call him. You b*stard! Have you forgotten to come home with Claudette beside you? Am I less attractive than her?

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.” Beep.

Hearing the call go silent, her already bad mood became worse.

A few minutes later, Beatrix, who was still staying in a hotel near the laser tag venue, received a call from Mackenzie. “I was just about to call you, Mackenzie. Manuel and Claudette are missing.” This news left Mackenzie at a loss, which was unusual. Should I call the police? The thought crossed her mind, but she didn’t say it out loud.

Beatrix quickly added, “I was thinking of calling the police, but the person in charge of the venue said that staying overnight while playing this kind of game is normal. Many men and women take the opportunity to…” Halfway through speaking, she immediately regretted it and quickly spat out.

Just as she wanted to change her words, Mackenzie coldly interrupted her, saying, “I get it. I just wanted to see if I needed to wait for him, but I guess not.” “Things might not be as you think, Mackenzie… Hello, hello?” Beep. Beep.

Beatrix hadn’t finished speaking when Mackenzie hung up the phone, indicating that she was furious. Oh no, things have gone bad.

At this moment, she didn’t know what to feel. At first, she had various motives for inviting Emmanuel here. On the surface, she was helping the Lenoir sisters, but in reality, she was secretly carrying out the mission assigned by Terence, deliberately making Mackenzie jealous. However, Mackenzie was not only jealous but also seemed genuinely angry. You can’t blame me, Manuel. I’m just following orders. It was you who went too far. I can only wish you good luck.

She knew that once Mackenzie was truly angry, the consequences would be severe. I wonder if Manuel can handle it.

On the other hand, Mackenzie intended to stop thinking about Emmanuel and go to sleep. Yet for some reason, she couldn’t fall asleep even though she had always had regular sleep patterns and good sleep quality.

The next morning, she woke up and suddenly realized that there was no one to make breakfast for her, and she wasn’t used to it at all.

She called Beatrix and was told that the two people hadn’t been found yet. As she gritted her teeth, she changed her clothes and decided to drive herself to the Lenoir Residence. Let’s see if Emmanuel secretly went home with that woman.

Meanwhile, inside the laser tag venue, the game time had ended, but Emmanuel and Claudette were still not seen coming out. In the end, Elizabeth, Beatrix, and the others turned back and got into an argument with the venue staff, demanding that they immediately find the two.

However, the staff members, who had received instructions from Isaac, directly drove them away.

Despite that, Beatrix and Elizabeth stood their ground. They insisted that the venue staff find Emmanuel and Claudette, or else they would call the police.

The staff members still refused and even brought out the game regulations, stating that they were not obligated to find players.

“Fine, you’re not taking any responsibility, right? We’ll call the police now. Let’s see who ends up regretting it.” Beatrix, Elizabeth, and the others took out their phones.

Unexpectedly, a group of tough guys from a martial arts club suddenly rushed out and knocked their phones out of their hands.

Except for Elizabeth and Beatrix, the other students with ordinary backgrounds instantly panicked. How could they dare confront these skilled and ruthless people? Moreover, most of the people present were girls, and the boys were afraid of getting beaten, so they didn’t dare say anything.

“Listen up. We have all your information registered. If anyone dares to meddle and call the police, I guarantee that all of you will meet a bloody end!” A tall and muscular man with an intimidating appearance pointed at them and threatened loudly.

His name was Leonard Dalton, a good friend of Isaac’s older brother and the muscle behind the scenes at the Lane family’s businesses. With a strong physique and a menacing face, he was extremely frightening. Normally, when the Lane brothers got into trouble, they often had him step in to deal with and intimidate the other party, which always worked. So now, with Isaac feeling guilty, he had brought him out to help solve the problem.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 242-Several girls glared at Leonard. Although they were furious, they didn’t dare speak up. Beatrix was also momentarily at a loss for a good solution and was thinking about how to counter the other party’s intimidation.

At this moment, Elizabeth suddenly exclaimed in excitement, “Look, isn’t that Dr. Lowe and Claudette?” Instantly, Beatrix looked over, her eyes showing astonishment. No wonder Elizabeth was so excited, and everyone around us was acting so nosy. Why is Manuel carrying Claudette on his back? Oh my God! If Mackenzie sees this, who knows how she will react? Seeing that, she didn’t dare continue provoking Mackenzie as Terence instructed, afraid of the lady’s wrath.

When Isaac and Jonathan saw the two, they were shocked and couldn’t believe that Emmanuel and Claudette were still alive. Damn it! They slept together outdoors yesterday. They must have done everything! They felt like they wasted their efforts in preparing a perfect opportunity for Emmanuel and even made themselves anxious.

“Alright, everyone is here now. Please leave.” Although Isaac was angry, he couldn’t do anything to Emmanuel in front of so many people.

Seeing Emmanuel and Claudette, Elizabeth, Beatrix, and the others didn’t intend to continue causing trouble. They quickly retrieved their phones and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Claudette bellowed with all her breath, “No! We were attacked with real guns yesterday, and someone released a venomous snake to murder us. I’m not letting this go just like that. I must know the truth and bring the culprits to justice.” Whoever did this has to face the music!

Although she usually appeared gentle and elegant, when she was truly angry, her wrath would be terrifying. Someone tried to harm me and Dr. Lowe!

I will never let the person off lightly!

“What? Seriously?” “Real guns and a venomous snake? Is that for real? T–That’s horrifying.” The young students turned pale with fear.

Meanwhile, Beatrix and Elizabeth glared at Isaac and Leonard, demanding an explanation. Isaac felt slightly panicked. Since that was a real incident, he had no idea how he could argue.

So, he quickly looked at Leonard. Seeing that, Leonard understood immediately and shouted angrily, “Don’t you dare spread false accusations!

We have been operating this place for many years, and no such thing has happened before. If that happened, do you think we could still be in business today? Now, get out! If you continue spreading false accusations, don’t blame us for being impolite.” As he spoke, his subordinates also joined in the intimidation. Some even brandished their weapons, intimidating them.

Silence engulfed the place as all eyes turned toward Claudette. After all, they were not the ones who witnessed the venomous snake or saw the crime scene. They only found out through hearsay.

Just then, Emmanuel suggested, “Should we call the police?” “No need.” Claudette’s expression was completely different from usual, and she said seriously, “These people wanted to harm you, Dr. Lowe. I will never let them off.” After she said that, she looked at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth understood the assignment and couldn’t help but shiver when she handed her phone to Claudette.

As Claudette took the phone, she wasted no time and dialed a number.

At this moment, Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. Things are about to get interesting.

These people have provoked our Princess Claudette. Good luck to all of you.

Emmanuel had never seen Claudette’s capabilities, but he knew she was Roselynn’s boss and definitely had the means. I wonder what will happen next.

Leonard, however, remained oblivious to the danger and provocatively sneered. “Hahaha! Go ahead and call the police if you want. If they can’t find any evidence, you’ll be in trouble for tarnishing our place’s reputation with -false accusations. I’ll make your lives miserable!” In fact, Isaac had already instructed them to clean up the scene, so any bullets and snakes had been completely wiped away. If the police came, they wouldn’t find anything.

On the other hand, Elizabeth found it amusing. Go ahead and be smug for now. You will soon understand the true meaning of terror.

“Someone tried to harm me, Aunt Laura. Please tell my dad.” Claudette called Laura and got straight to the point.

“What? Who dared to harm you? That’s fantastic… Uh… I mean, those b*stards! I will teach them a lesson. If I don’t beat the crap out of them later, you can consider me useless.” Laura’s excited scream came through the phone. She had nothing to do all day except spend money, put on makeup, and sleep. I finally have something to do today!

Her scream was so loud that Claudette felt extremely embarrassed because Emmanuel was carrying her, so he definitely heard the sound from the other end. Sigh, Aunt Laura is just… weird. Claudette hung up the phone after a few words.

When Leonard heard the call, he couldn’t help but chuckle. I thought she wanted to call the police, but instead, she called her aunt. Girls nowadays are so dramatic, always asking for their mothers when something happens. They never grow up!

Coincidentally, Isaac’s older brother, Matias Lane, called Leonard too.

“Leonard, what’s going on at the battlefield? Did Isaac call you guys for help?” “Hahaha, it’s nothing. Don’t worry, Mr. Matias. It’s a few students feeling wronged and asking for their mothers.” “Asking for their mothers?” Matias was momentarily stunned. Why do I feel something isn’t right? I feel like I have a vague memory of that phrase, but I just can’t recall it now. “Well, as long as no one is killed.” He then hung up the phone.

Initially, he didn’t take it seriously. After all, the Lane family had considerable influence in Yeringham. As long as no one was killed, it wasn’t a big deal if Isaac wanted to bully a few students. However, when he recalled the phrase novelbin ‘asking for their mothers,‘ he had a foreboding feeling.

“Asking for their mothers?!” He went to the bathroom, and the moment the toilet was flushed, it suddenly came back to him.

He remembered that years ago, there was a tough guy in their school who bullied a wealthy girl in his class. That wealthy girl had called her mother, and in the end, a catastrophic chain of events unfolded.

In short, the horrifying scenes were permanently imprinted in his unconscious mind. But I don’t think rich girls are into laser tag, though. It doesn’t fit her demeanor.

However, due to his worries, he called Leonard again.

“Hey, boss, what’s up?” “Tell me, Leonard. What’s the name of that girl who called her mother?” “How would I know? Am I supposed to ask for her name every time I see a beauty? Do you think I’m that kind of lecherous person? Haha!” In fact, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to hit on Claudette. Rather, given the ongoing conflict, he couldn’t do so.

“I’m serious. Does she look hot and elegant? Don’t tell me her last name is Lenoir.” “Wow, you’re really on top of things. She looks gentle and is indeed smoking hot. What about her?” At this moment, Leonard also sensed that something was amiss.

“F*ck! You guys are in deep trouble!” Matias screamed in panic. “Quickly apologize to her! Remember, kneel down and sincerely apologize; otherwise, you all will be completely screwed!”

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 243-Without caring if Leonard understood or not, Matias hung up the phone and ran out in a frenzy. If it weren’t for Isaac being his biological brother, he would have wanted Isaac dead.

Why does he have to offend Claudette, of all people? Doesn’t he know she is General Lenoir’s most beloved daughter? No one dares mess with her in Yeringham! Isaac, you f*cking *sshole!

” On the other hand, Leonard still didn’t understand why Matias was so terrified, but he soon found out. A loud commotion erupted outside, shaking the entire place as if an earthquake had struck.

“What the hell is happening?” Leonard, like many others, showed astonishment on his face. What is causing such a disturbance?

Isaac’s pupils dilated instantly when he turned around, and he was unable to -blink. For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Yet, when he looked again, he was so terrified that his legs gave out, causing him to sit on the ground.

Several large green trucks came roaring in, and they were followed by an eight–wheeled black monster truck. The scene was majestic and imposing as if the king of all beasts had arrived.

After the green trucks stopped, fully armed soldiers poured out like a tide.

Their movements were swift and disciplined as if they were seizing a battlefield, quickly surrounding the venue.

“Squad One! Assembled!” “Squad Two! Ready to engage!” “Squad Three! Ready to attack!” At this moment, everyone in the venue was left speechless.

The soldiers‘ voices were loud, their eyes shone with determination, and their actions were swift as lightning. Every movement and every word struck a heavy chord in the hearts of those present.

Upon witnessing this, Leonard finally understood the meaning behind Matias‘ words earlier. My goodness! What the hell is this? We are just a group of thugs–a bunch of rubbish in front of a military force!

Meanwhile, Emmanuel was also astonished. Did Claudette summon these soldiers with just a single phone call? They are well–trained and not inferior to the troops in the Northern Region. Is this the private military force of the Lenoir family?

After the soldiers took control of the scene, the black monster truck slowly entered. A woman dressed like a queen stepped out of the vehicle while wearing high heels. It was none other than Laura.

TH She slowly took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of enchanting, almond–shaped eyes as a proud and arrogant smile tugged on her red lips.

“Oh, my God! It’s been a while since I’ve been out here bullying people. This feels great!” she said openly, not bothering to hide her feelings.

“Madam, Yeringham’s South District Squadron has assembled. Awaiting your orders.” A tall man stepped forward, striding with respect as he saluted Laura.

He wasn’t wearing a military uniform, but a suit.

Emmanuel hadn’t paid close attention at first, but when he took a closer look, he was shocked. Isn’t that Quintus?

On the contrary, Quintus had noticed Emmanuel earlier, and upon seeing him carrying his beloved sister, he gave him a bright smile.

“Good job.” Laura acted like a commander. “Quickly advance inside and rescue the General’s daughter! Oh, and her man too.” What?! Hearing that, Emmanuel was taken aback. Her man? Who? Don’t talk nonsense. I’m just her doctor!

“Yes, Madam.” Quintus and Laura were really getting into their roles. With novelbin another stride and a loud response, he waved his hand and commanded, “Charge forward!”

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 244-The students inside were already dumbfounded, and even Beatrix was seeing the true power of the Lenoir family for the first time. Rumor has it that Claudette’s father is a general. I guess it’s true, then! No wonder she’s so daring to compete with Mackenzie for Manuel.

Meanwhile, Leonard and his henchmen were terrified at the sight of those regular soldiers, their legs trembling.

When they saw the opposing force rushing in, they quickly covered their heads with their hands, each of them lying on the ground and not daring to breathe. No matter how arrogant they were, they couldn’t act like that in front of an armed force.

“Please don’t shoot! We’re sorry!” “We’re so sorry! It was just a prank! Sob…” “Don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me! I’ll kneel before the lady!” Leonard and the others kneeled in front of Claudette and Emmanuel, even hitting their foreheads against the ground to admit their mistake. They went from being arrogant to being utterly humble.

“Just a prank, eh?” Emmanuel suddenly became furious, roaring, “You fired blunt bullets at us and released venomous snakes to take our lives. You call that a prank, huh? If you were being serious, what were you going to do to me and Ms. Lenoir?” “What? Did you use blunt bullets and venomous snakes on the Lenoir family’s princess? You’re asking for death!” As soon as Quintus heard that, his anger erupted as his veins bulged.

Oh, it’s happening. Elizabeth knew very well that Quintus had always doted on Claudette the most since childhood, even more than herself. After all, Claudette had a good temperament and had been to military camps. She was the princess in the hearts of everyone in the Lenoir family’s army.

At once, the furious Quintus shouted in anger, “Prepare to fire! Execute these b*stards who tried to kill the princess on the spot!” “Yes, sir!” After the resounding response, the sound of loading guns followed.

Then, the safety catches were released as well.

Leonard and the others were petrified on the spot, some even wetting their pants.

Likewise, Isaac covered his head and kneeled on the ground, regretting his actions deeply. He knew Claudette’s background was formidable, but he didn’t expect it to be this terrifying. What have I done? There are so many guns aiming at us now!

wednes “Spare their lives, Quintus, but make sure to teach them a harsh lesson.” While Claudette was angry, she remained gentle and kind, for she didn’t want Emmanuel to misunderstand her as a villain. As such, she quickly stopped Quintus.

“Alright.” Quintus would grant her every request. He picked up the stock of his gun and viciously smashed it into Isaac’s face. Instantly, blood gushed out like a fountain.

When the students saw that, they were dumbfounded, their mouths agape in shock.

On the contrary, Elizabeth and Beatrix cheered in their minds, feeling satisfied.

Weren’t you acting all high and mighty like you were at the top of the world moments ago? How disgusting! What about now, huh? How does it feel now?

Slap! Quintus gave Isaac a backhanded slap and kicked Leonard to the floor, treating them like punching bags.

Meanwhile, the menacing Laura stood with her hands on her hips, shouting boldly, “Who do you think you are? Are you blind? How dare you harm the Lenoir family’s princess?” “Harming the Lenoir family’s princess means death!” Other soldiers also joined in the rage, rushing over and ruthlessly beating Leonard’s henchmen.

In an instant, there were cries of agony, making it look like a scene from hell.

Beatrix was secretly amazed and looked at Emmanuel. He should be more cautious with his relationship with Claudette in the future. What if he upsets the Lenoir family’s princess? I wonder how he’d end up. novelbin On the contrary, Emmanuel remained unaffected. Firstly, he always acted according to his principles, and secondly, he was not afraid of anyone when it came to physical strength.

This dramatic bout of laser tag finally came to an end after an intense fight.

Emmanuel and Claudette emerged victorious, so both of them were in a good mood.

Being experienced in romantic affairs, Laura promptly led her people to evacuate after dealing with Isaac and his group.

She even forcefully dragged Quintus away, not allowing him to third–wheel Claudette and Emmanuel.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 245-All the gamers left, and Beatrix had also been taken away by Elizabeth.

However, Emmanuel was a bit slow to catch on and furrowed his brows as he asked, “Why are your family members so strange? Don’t they all know that you got injured?” Claudette’s aunt, brother, and even her sister all left her behind. How can they do that? If it weren’t for Claudette making a phone call and bringing everyone over, he would have even suspected that she didn’t get along well with her family members.

At his question, she looked embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer. I can clearly sense how clueless this man is. Doesn’t he realize that I have feelings for him?

“Let me take you back home then, Ms. Lenoir.” He was indeed a little oblivious, especially knowing that she came from an extraordinary family background and that she was Roselynn’s boss.

After witnessing her capabilities just now, he considered her a lofty princess.

How can she possibly have feelings for a man like me? I’ve been on 18 blind dates! It just doesn’t make sense.

Therefore, being naturally slow when it came to emotions and guided by his habitual thinking, he couldn’t entertain thoughts in that direction unless Claudette explicitly told him so.

With affectionate eyes, Claudette nodded and hummed in agreement. novelbin Undoubtedly, the clueless Emmanuel ignored all her subtle expressions and unusual behavior.

While lying on his back, she couldn’t help but sigh. Do I have to confess my love for him? Otherwise, he might never know that I have feelings for him.

What if he rejects me, though? It will be so awkward to see him for my treatments in the future. Okay, I’ll never confess.

Over an hour later, Emmanuel got off the taxi with Claudette in his arms. Just as he was about to take her to the door of the Lenoir Residence, he suddenly trembled all over.

In front of him stood a beautiful woman, emanating a chilling aura. Her cold, beautiful eyes were fixed on the two of them.

“Mackenzie? What are you doing here?” he asked at once when he saw her.

However, Mackenzie just bit her lips, not wanting to say a word to him. As she stared at Claudette, she sneered coldly. “Congratulations, Ms. Lenoir.” Claudette trembled slightly as well under Mackenzie’s stare. Even though she was the Lenoir family’s princess, it was difficult to withstand Mackenzie’s icy aura.

She didn’t know how to respond to the woman. Despite consistently regarding Mackenzie and Emmanuel’s relationship as a fake marriage, she experienced a twinge of guilt at that particular moment.

Mackenzie walked past Emmanuel directly without a word, even bumping him with her shoulder.

“Mackenzie! Mackenzie!” Although he didn’t understand what was going on, he still wanted to put down Claudette and chase after her. However, Claudette had been bitten by a snake on her thigh and couldn’t exert force.

As soon as he let go, she sat down on the ground with a cry.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Lenoir.” At this moment, he was in a dilemma, but as a doctor, Claudette was his patient, so he quickly lifted her and took her into the Lenoir Residence.

After that, without stopping for even half a second, he turned around and ran out to chase after Mackenzie. Unfortunately, she had already disappeared by then.

“Why was Mackenzie at the door of the Lenoir Residence? Was she angry with me just now?” He felt something amiss. Though I don’t think she has feelings for me, we are still considered a married couple. Perhaps she misunderstood something. I need to hurry back home and explain everything to her.

With this thought in mind, he hurriedly rushed back home, but to his surprise, Mackenzie was nowhere to be found.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 246-“Mackenzie? Mackenzie!” After searching around, Emmanuel quickly called her number, but he didn’t expect to be blocked.

What the hell? What’s going on? He was frustrated. She’s usually magnanimous, but why is she being so petty today? It’s not like her.

Since he couldn’t contact her, he had no choice but to wait at home.

However, she still hadn’t returned by 10.00PM.

www Suddenly, he heard his phone ring and eagerly checked it. When he saw that it was Claudette instead of Mackenzie, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Lowe. Did Ms. Quillen misunderstand you because of me? Is she still angry at you?” Claudette was concerned about him.

“You don’t have to apologize, Ms. Lenoir. I will explain everything to her.” His response left Claudette with mixed emotions. While she did possess a competitive spirit toward Mackenzie, she had no deliberate intentions of deceit. It was beyond her expectations to see Mackenzie at her house today.

However, based on Mackenzie’s expression earlier that day, Claudette was certain they both had developed feelings for the same man.

“Okay. You can always call me if you need anything,” she added.

Emmanuel forced a smile without responding. Even if he was clueless, he could tell that Mackenzie held hostility toward Claudette. As such, if he asked Claudette to explain, it would probably make things worse.

However, he hadn’t done anything wrong, and he was still worried about Mackenzie’s safety. He then asked, “Ms. Lenoir, if you have Mackenzie’s novelbin contact, please tell her to come home. She has blocked me, and I’m really worried about her.” “Sure!” Claudette agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she bit her lip and sent a message to Mackenzie upon Emmanuel’s request.

Ding! Right then, Mackenzie was drinking with Beatrix in a private room at a restaurant. Her face was already flushed from the alcohol.

When she saw the message from Claúdette, she smirked coldly. “Are you here to show off? You can take that sc*mbag with you.” She was truly disappointed; she had confidence in Emmanuel and herself, which was why she allowed him to go on an outdoor activity with Claudette.

Yet, she never expected that her man would spend a night in the wilderness with another woman and even carry her home. Is it that difficult for them to separate from each other?

“Sc*mbag! He must have gone after Claudette for her looks and money. Go ahead and con her, then! There’s no way you can con me!” Hearing Mackenzie talk to herself, Beatrix was also taken aback, for she had never seen Mackenzie like this before in their 20 years together. It seems that she has truly been hurt.

“Perhaps things aren’t as you think they are, Mackenzie. Why don’t you go home and let Manuel explain?” Although she didn’t have much faith in Emmanuel’s ability to have a lasting relationship with Mackenzie, at this moment, she couldn’t remain indifferent and didn’t want to see Mackenzie upset.

“I don’t want him anymore. Let’s drink!” Mackenzie wanted to continue drinking, but Lexi arrived at that moment.

“You came just in time, Lexi. I can’t handle her anymore. Quick, have someone take her home.” “Okay.” Lexi agreed and forcefully held onto the tipsy Mackenzie as they left the restaurant.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 247-At 11.00PM, Emmanuel finally heard someone knocking at the door. He quickly rushed to open it and accidentally bumped into the corner of the table, which made him grit his teeth in pain.

The moment he opened the door, he saw Lexi supporting Mackenzie, and he couldn’t help but feel surprised. “Ms. Summerton?” Although he had seen Lexi before, it hadn’t been on office grounds. As a part–time errand runner for this project, he only worked at night and rarely encountered such a famous person close to the CEO.

He remembered helping this beautiful woman driving a BMW get out of a staged accident in front of the cafe back then. However, he couldn’t understand why she was accompanying Mackenzie home now.

“Hi, Mr. Lowe. I am Ms. Quillen’s friend. We were drinking just now, and she got -drunk. As such, I had to send her back!” “Oh, thank you.” He quickly expressed his gratitude and was about to support novelbin Mackenzie from Lexi’s hands. Sigh, why do you resort to drinking whenever you’re angry? You’re a woman, and even more than that, you’re a goddess.

“Go away! Don’t touch me!” Although Mackenzie was drunk, she was still conscious. Before he could touch her, she forcefully slapped him away.

At her reaction, he frowned instantly. Goodness, this is embarrassing. She’s acting like I’ve committed some sort of unforgivable offense.

When Lexi noticed the situation, she couldn’t help but force a smile. “It seems you need to put more effort into comforting your wife, Mr. Lowe. I’ll get going now.” “Alright, thank you.” Emmanuel suppressed his anger and thanked her once again.

After closing the door, he turned around and noticed that Mackenzie had already collapsed onto the couch. Due to the effects of alcohol, her movements were ten times wilder than usual.

In any case, her behavior was completely different from his first impression of her.

“If you have something on your mind, you can tell me, Ms. Quillen. You don’t have to go out drinking every time. You said I got into fights four times a month after our marriage, but you’ve been drunk three times a month too.” He voiced out his emotions.

This only infuriated Mackenzie further. I got drunk every time because of you!

However, she chose not to say anything and emitted an icy aura as she replied, “Does it have anything to do with you? I’ll drink if I want to. You can go and drink with Ms. Lenoir if you want to!” “Let me get this straight, Ms. Quillen. Ms. Lenoir is both my patient and my friend. She got injured during the game, and I was just escorting her home.

That’s all,” he quickly explained the situation.

Yet, she laughed coldly. “She got injured during the game, but why did you have to carry her home? What is she to you? Your wife?” “My relationship with her is not what you think it is,” he further explained. “I’ve known her for three years. That’s way before I even met you, Ms. Quillen.

Believe it or not, our relationship is platonic.” Hearing that, she stood up directly and sneered. “You’re finally showing your true colors. So, you’ve been looking for a wealthy woman all along, eh? Did you only marry me for my grandfather’s money?” He instantly let out a sigh, feeling greatly disappointed that she would say such things. “Let me make you a cup of tea to sober up. After you drink it, take a shower and rest early.” “Why? Did I hit the nail on the head? You can’t even be bothered to explain anymore, huh?” “Please stop making baseless accusations.” Emmanuel was generally easygoing, but he had his limits too. Mackenzie’s accusations about him made his temper flare up, and they faced each other directly, locking eyes.

“We signed a contract back then. Besides appeasing my mother and making her happy, what other benefits do I get from marrying you?” In fact, Mackenzie understood what he meant. If he married her for money, it would have been better for him to marry Claudette when he didn’t know she 5/5 was the daughter of the Quillen family. That woman is clearly throwing herself at him. I can’t help feeling uncomfortable, that’s all. Sigh, I don’t feel like myself anymore. This feels terrible. It feels like I’ve been dragged down to a lower level by this idiot!

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 248-It’s all this idiot’s fault!

Seeing her silence, Emmanuel continued, “Ms. Quillen, you made it clear the first day we married that you wouldn’t interfere with my relationships with other women. Why are you contradicting yourself now? Also, my relationship with Ms. Lenoir is perfectly normal. We didn’t cross any boundaries because I know I’m your legal husband. I would never do anything to betray you.” He spoke with great sincerity. If it were Claudette, perhaps she wouldn’t have this confidence, but Emmanuel definitely did. He truly had no feelings for Claudette despite finding her a great woman.

“Are you saying that I’m making a fuss and whining out of nothing?” Mackenzie was a high and mighty woman, so no one dared contradict her like this. If she could persuade him with reason, she would feel better, but she felt that she couldn’t win an argument with him. As a result, her feminine nature was completely ignited.

“That’s not what I meant. I just don’t want you to be angry. I like seeing you happy. Do you understand?” Likewise, Emmanuel became agitated and spoke from the bottom of his heart. He was worried sick about her today, and seeing her coming back in a drunken state made his heart twist. novelbin When she saw him like this and heard what he said, combined with the effects of alcohol, she inexplicably took the initiative to hug him. The next moment, she even kissed him.

Instantly, his body tensed up. Has she gone mad? Yet, what was even crazier was that he didn’t have the urge to push him away. At this moment, he truly felt the difference between Mackenzie and Claudette. Only she can make my heart race so intensely, but what should I do now? Since he had no experience in relationships, he stood still like a wooden puppet, not moving an inch.

It wasn’t until Mackenzie suddenly felt a surge in her throat and vomited everything she had eaten and drunk into his mouth that he was completely flabbergasted. What the hell?! Why did you add seasoning to my magical first kiss? He quickly moved away.

She vomited all over the floor, feeling extremely embarrassed. Can’t I just die? If this goes out, I’d rather die! It’s all the alcohol’s fault!

Meanwhile, Emmanuel also felt awkward. He was about to go over and pat her back to help her sober up when his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Claudette, he hesitated whether to answer or not but eventually decided to hang up.

However, Claudette called for the second time. He thought that she might be calling to inform him about Mackenzie since he asked her to contact the woman, so he answered reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, she immediately said, “Dr. Lowe, has Mackenzie returned home? If she hasn’t, can you come to my place now? I need you!” Huh?! With the two of them so close, Mackenzie suddenly sobered up when she heard that. Just a moment ago, she still trusted Emmanuel and even considered forgiving him, but now, she was completely furious.

Emmanuel, sensing the danger, quickly tried to explain the situation.

Yet, she gave him a tight slap. “Hmph, you spoke so sincerely just now, but I won’t trust you anymore. Get out of here!” Mackenzie bellowed with bloodshot eyes and ran back to her room alone. With a loud bang, she slammed the door shut.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 249-“Mackenzie! Mackenzie!” Emmanuel hurriedly chased after her to the door, but it was clear that she couldn’t be bothered with him. He retreated with a sigh, feeling dejected.

“What’s wrong, Dr. Lowe?” Claudette’s tone carried a hint of apology. Her strange illness chose to flare up at this very moment, and she truly wanted to see Emmanuel now, hoping he could come and help her.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Lenoir. I can’t go out tonight. Please come to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup.” He understood what she meant just now, but he wasn’t in the mood for it.

“Oh, okay.” She agreed with a sigh.

After she hung up the phone, her unsettled emotions continued to linger. She didn’t feel a sense of triumph over defeating a love rival. Instead, she felt a -wave of guilt.

Although it wasn’t intentional, it was because of her that Emmanuel and Mackenzie ended up in such a state. I feel like a mistress in their relationship, but I really want to be with him. What should I do? At this thought, tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes.

On the other hand, Emmanuel didn’t have the energy to attend to Claudette’s emotions, for his mind was occupied with how to fix his relationship with Mackenzie. She told me to get out, but I don’t want to leave this home.

After some hesitation, he decided to respect her wishes. After leaving a note novelbin behind, he left the house.

Thud! Although he closed the door quietly, Mackenzie still heard it. She quickly walked out and discovered that the man had indeed left.

At this moment, it was already past midnight. Is he going over to Claudette’s?

When she noticed the note on the table in the living room, she quickly picked it up and read his message. ‘I’m sorry, Ms. Quillen. Maybe I shouldn’t have -attended the laser tag game, but my relationship with Ms. Lenoir is purely platonic. I didn’t cheat on you. Please believe me. Since this house is yours, I will leave if you want me to. If you need me for anything else, you can contact me anytime.‘ These simple words caused the poised and aloof CEO of Terence Group to tremble slightly, and she felt a tingling sensation in her nose. Damn it! When did I start caring so much about a man?

As she bit her lip tightly, she comforted herself, saying, It’s good that the idiot left on his own. He’s the one at fault, anyway. If I divorce him, Grandpa can’t blame me.

That was what she believed, but her body didn’t follow suit. Since she couldn’t` sleep, she put on a coat and went outside.

Through the glass window in the corridor, she saw Emmanuel sitting on a bench under the streetlight in the neighborhood.

She wanted to invite him back inside, but she was the proud Ms. Quillen. How could she go back on her words? I was the one who told him to get out. If I ask him to return, others will surely laugh at me if they find out. No! No way I’m letting that happen.” “Hmph, since he’s as strong as a tiger, he won’t freeze to death.” Mackenzie ultimately returned to the house, but sleep eluded her.

The next morning, she left home slightly later than usual.

When she reached the garage, she noticed that the Maserati was still there.

Emmanuel must have taken the electric bike to work.

Suddenly, her expression turned slightly angry. She was about to call Wally to come and pick her up when she thought better of it and got into the Maserati before driving to work.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 250-At the entrance of the Terence Group headquarters, the security guard was performing his daily duties when he stopped a Maserati for registration. To his surprise, he found the cold and aloof female CEO behind the wheel. He immediately apologized and said, “Ms. Mackenzie, I didn’t know it was you!

Please come in quickly!” Previously, when Emmanuel drove this car, he would always stop at the intersection near the industrial park without coming all the way to the company entrance, let alone park in the designated parking spot. As such, the security guard didn’t recognize the car at first.

“Register the license plate in the system. If this car enters the company premises in the future, let it pass directly!” “Yes, Ms. Mackenzie.” The security guard promptly acknowledged her orders and proceeded with the registration.

When Mackenzie parked the car in the company parking lot and got out, she coincidentally ran into Lexi.

Lexi was shocked and hurriedly greeted her, asking, “Good morning, Ms.

Mackenzie. Why are you driving by yourself today?” “I have a driver’s license. Why can’t I drive by myself?” Mackenzie responded coldly. ” Lexi nervously replied, “Ms. Mackenzie, you should know that I didn’t mean anything by it. Where is your driver?” Mackenzie shot her a glance that could almost slice her in half with its intensity.

Lexi felt a chill run down her spine. Mackenzie is terrifying in this state! In the past, I wouldn’t have believed that the formidable Ms. Mackenzie could be associated with the word ‘heartbroken. Now, I have no choice but to believe 1. it. Her haggard and icy demeanor are clear signs of going through a romantic heartbreak.

Throughout the day, Mackenzie reprimanded more people than usual.

Fortunately, Beatrix had received a warning from Lexi in advance and didn’t dare’get too close to her sister. Otherwise, she might have faced the same fate.

Of course, Beatrix had to report Mackenzie’s state to her grandfather, and she even vented her frustrations. “Grandpa, is this one of your bad ideas?

Mackenzie’s current state is not conducive for her work, and if it continues for too long, it could affect the company!” “Haha, excellent!” Terence laughed heartily without a care in the world, completely disregarding the state of the company.

After all, the Quillen family’s business was massive, and losing a few million wouldn’t make a significant difference. Mackenzie’s current state proved that Emmanuel had entered her world and could deeply influence her emotions!

Terence was confident that no one else in the world could put his granddaughter in such a state. Emmanuel had accomplished this, showing that he was indeed a suitable match for her. Hahaha, great! Very good… Upon hearing her grandfather’s laughter, Beatrix felt a headache coming on.

He’s the most ruthless grandfather in the world!

Although her older sister was formidable, compared to her grandfather, her sister still had a long way to go.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel was also absent–minded at work today. Having married without ever having been in a relationship before, it was really hard to experience conflict with his wife for the first time.

He hadn’t smoked since his retirement, but he couldn’t resist the urge to go to the rooftop for some fresh air and a cigarette today.

“What’s wrong? My boy, are you having relationship issues?” Frederick appeared behind him out of nowhere and expressed concern.

“Can you tell just by looking at me?” Emmanuel didn’t hide his thoughts from his best friend.

“Haha, your expression says it all–you’re troubled by love!” Frederick grinned smugly.

Emmanuel forced a bitter smile. “You speak as if you have a lot of experience in this. However, you’ve been single for years!” “It’s different for me. Although I haven’t married, I have pursued girls in the past. On the other hand, you got married without ever being in a relationship.

Skipping that step poses significant risks, my friend.” Frederick continued to smile.

Emmanuel smiled without responding. He admitted that he had underestimated the complexity of marriage. Now, with Mackenzie in her current state, he didn’t know what he should do next.

“Ms. Lenoir is here. Do you want to go and see her?” Frederick suddenly said, which was the reason he came up to the rooftop to find Emmanuel.

Although Emmanuel didn’t particularly feel like seeing Claudette at the moment, he had professional ethics. If a patient came, he couldn’t refuse to see them.
