Ch. 411..420

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 411-I can’t believe Emmanuel’s wife is begging him to go back not long after.

Besides, the way Mackenzie summoned Emmanuel back home is also pretty novelbin bone-chilling, I’d say. Jack had always thought that Mackenzie was just an ordinary woman who happened to be beautiful and rich, but after reading the message, he realized he had been wrong all the while. She must be someone influential for making Yeringham’s press send that kind of message; this isn’t just about money, but also connections!

Meanwhile, Jaxton was as surprised as Jack after reading the message.

Although he had long known Mackenzie was from the rich and powerful Quillen family, he didn’t think she would go so far just to reconcile with Emmanuel. After all, Mackenzie’s action of using the press to send out a personal message could be followed by serious consequences that might put the Quillen family in trouble. Therefore, he couldn’t help but wonder why she would do that. Looks like she’s pretty determined!

“Do you see that, Mom? Mackenzie isn’t going to divorce Emmanuel!” Roselynn shared the news with Alessandra in excitement.

“Yeah, I’m aware of that, but I wonder where Emmanuel is right now!” Alessandra was relieved when she heard the news. Turns out that Mackenzie has been searching for Emmanuel too. That’s good! What’s left now is to find Emmanuel, and everything should come to an end.

“Yeah, let’s figure out a way to look for Emmanuel!” Roselynn couldn’t wait to find her own brother, but soon, she caught a glimpse of Jaxton still standing there from the corner of her eyes. “Why are you still standing here? Beat it!” Jaxton’s face was written with an awkward expression. After all, he didn’t think the situation would take such an unexpected and dramatic turn. It turned out that it wasn’t Mackenzie who wanted to divorce Emmanuel. Instead, it was Emmanuel who hadn’t responded to Mackenzie at all. “My bad, Roselynn. As your husband, I’ll do my best to get your brother back.” Did you forget that you were trying to cut ties with me moments ago? But now, you’re calling Emmanuel as if he’s your actual brother. “No need for that!” Roselynn knew what the man was up to. Although he was her legal husband, she would not protect him.

Jaxton was awkward, but he hid his feelings well. “I’ll get in touch with you once you feel better, Roselynn. Stay in touch!” He finished his words and left the Lowe family.

Roselynn couldn’t accept the fact that Jaxton acted as though he forgot everything he just did like nothing happened, feeling disappointed with him.

You should be grateful that Emmanuel isn’t here now, or I swear I’ll make you regret it!

“For now, how would you like us to find Emmanuel, Roselynn? Just tell us what to do. We’ll back you up!” Benny showed enthusiasm by volunteering to help look for Emmanuel despite gloating about the man’s situation earlier.

“That’s right, Roselynn. Just tell me what I can do! I know some of the places that Emmanuel used to frequent. I’ll look for him!” Jack tried to flatter Roselynn by offering a helping hand, knowing how powerful and influential Mackenzie was. Because of Mackenzie’s decision to remarry Emmanuel, he reckoned that he needed to win his cousin’s favor. After all, the Lowe family was just a modest family that couldn’t even come close to Mackenzie alone in terms of wealth and influence.

In the meantime, Roselynn felt angry when she saw the way they reacted.

Thus, she sarcastically mocked them and asked, “Didn’t you just call my brother a fool? Why are you so worried about him now?” “Well…” Jack wanted to call Emmanuel ́a fool, yet he was unable to refute how lucky he was to have someone like Mackenzie as his wife.

“Alright, Roselynn. Let’s not waste time quarreling here. We need to act now!” Alessandra quickly stepped in to defuse the situation as she persuaded all the Lowe family members to join the search for Emmanuel.

Nevertheless, their efforts were soon met with a huge setback; even Mackenzie could not find Emmanuel. Even after visiting every place that Emmanuel had been to or could possibly be, no one had found him. It seemed like he had just disappeared from the surface of the planet.

However, little did they know that all information about the members of the Wolf Warrior Unit had been heavily encrypted by national security. Therefore, since Emmanuel decided to return to the Northern Region, his whereabouts would be concealed and kept a secret, leaving no trail for anyone to find him.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 412-On the other hand, the military camp in the Northern Region was filled with a cold breeze. At the same time, the buildings there looked like mighty huge beasts guarding their kingdom, Chanaea, keeping outsiders from setting foot on their land.

At that moment, Emmanuel appeared to be serving an old man a cup of black tea in a spacious room. Served with the most common drink in the military camp, the old man with gray hair seemed touched as he excitedly raised the cup and took a sip. “Finally, haha! It’s been three years since I last drank the tea you made. I must say that you make the best black tea in the world.” While the man had a huge liking for drinking tea, it was in fact the person whom he had missed.

Eight years ago, when the old man found Emmanuel among hundreds of elites and discovered his talent in healing, he was so excited that he couldn’t sleep. For the next few years, he dedicated all his time and effort to training and making Emmanuel the Northern Region Wolf Warrior. Nevertheless, Emmanuel later made a mistake as he was still too young and impulsive. novelbin Troubled by that, he reluctantly decided to leave the Northern Region, which came as a disappointment to the old man. Therefore, when he finally reunited with Emmanuel three years later, he couldn’t help but feel happy about it.

“I’m sorry, Master!” Emmanuel spoke tersely like he always did, letting out a sigh after that.

As Emmanuel’s mentor and the Northern Region’s commander, Santiago Adkins had sacrificed and made a lot of contributions to his nation. Therefore, Emmanuel was especially grateful to have a respectable figure like Santiago as his mentor.

In the first few years of his career, Emmanuel performed outstandingly on the battlefield to repay his mentor. However, things took a turn for the worse in the Battle of Waterloo three years ago.

Having made a mistake during that battle, he decided to put a stop to his career to atone for his errors. As time flew, three years passed by without him.

knowing it. He later went on to kill the traitor, Kan Bender, but despite that, he couldn’t make the guilt that was gnawing at him go away.

“Hmph! What’s the point of apologizing?! Have you returned to repay me by resuming your military career?” Santiago suddenly became serious. “Do you still remember how I used to teach you? No matter how many times he falls down, a true man always gets back up.” “Master, I…” Emmanuel swallowed his words, not knowing what to say next. In fact, the reason Emmanuel left was not only because of his own reasons but also because he was forced to take responsibility for the war that was lost in the Northern Region. Right after he left the task force, it didn’t occur to him to return to the Northern Region again. After all, he was so devastated by his disheartenment that he no longer saw a purpose in his own life.

“Well, if you know your mistakes, you must right the wrongs!” Santiago could sense Emmanuel’s dispirited morale, but even so, he went on to strictly say, “Kan Bender was the one who betrayed the Wolf Warrior Unit. Although your took his life later on, the actual mastermind is still at large. I don’t care whether you’re back to avenge your deceased brothers, but I know you must take responsibility and resume the mission!” “Well…” Emmanuel became hesitant upon hearing that. After all, he didn’t think about resuming his military career, but his vengeance had never stopped reminding him to avenge his dead comrades.

4/5 The members of the Wolf Warrior Unit were rather close with each other, so Emmanuel could never forget about the times they fought side by side in the most life-threatening situations. Despite countless near-death experiences, the bonds that they built between each other were stronger than the world’s toughest shield.

Among the squad, Emmanuel used to call the youngest soldier Blockhead. He once smiled and told Emmanuel that he would return home and visit his family when the battle was over, but unfortunately, he didn’t live to see another day during the battle. I will avenge you, Blockhead!

“What’s wrong? Did you get lost in the world out there? Is that why you refuse.

to return even until now?” Santiago teased Emmanuel, but deep down, he knew how righteous and honest of a person his mentee was. After all, Santiago’s granddaughter was deemed to be the prettiest lady in the Northern Region. While she subtly expressed her feelings for Emmanuel to him, the man didn’t seem to feel the same way, eventually leading to a missed opportunity for them to be together. Because of that, Santiago didn’t think Emmanuel would fall for any woman so easily, considering the fact that he didn’t even fall for his beautiful granddaughter.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 413-No way! Emmanuel nodded. “Yeah, there is indeed someone I can never forget!” “What?!” Santiago realized he had been wrong about Emmanuel, spitting the tea out of his mouth in disbelief. What?! No way! thought the old man to himself, “It’s my mother. Her health has worsened these days. Since my sister is already married, I reckon I must return home to look after her,” Emmanuel responded sincerely.

Upon hearing Emmanuel’s reply, Santiago heaved a sigh of relief. For a second, he thought Emmanuel had found someone he loved. Shortly after that, he let out a sigh and nodded. Well, a true man should also care about his family besides fighting for his country.

“Moreover, I already have a crush on someone, and I can’t just leave her behind like that, which is why I don’t think I’m fit to fight on the battlefield anymore.” Emmanuel’s next response left Santiago startled as he spat the black tea on the former’s face.

“W-What did you just say? You have a crush on someone?!” Santiago was stupefied. Goodness! If my granddaughter finds out about this, she’s going to make a big scene about it.

Emmanuel wiped off the droplets on his face, wondering why Santiago was so agitated. What’s so surprising about having a crush on someone?

“In that case, I guess I have to tell you the situation about the Northern Region.” Santiago eventually decided to tell Emmanuel about the Northern Region after some hesitation, for he was afraid he would never see him again if he made up his mind not to return.

Emmanuel nodded as he was concerned about the Northern Region as well.

After all, the place was like a second home to him.

“When you left the Northern Region back then, many people wanted to take over your position as the new captain. Nevertheless, your outstanding performance left a pair of big shoes to fill. Needless to say, whoever took over your place often had to put up with the pressure of being severely criticized.

Because of that, the Wolf Warrior Unit became divided as everyone refused to come together. As a result, many tough and difficult missions became hard to accomplish, unlike how they used to be,” Santiago said despondently, implying that Emmanuel’s return as the Wolf Warrior was the only way for the squad to triumph like before.

Nevertheless, Emmanuel was seen with a complicated look on his face, but even so, he didn’t accept his mentor’s offer, knowing he could never perform as well as he used to.

Santiago became irritable. “Emmanuel, are you seriously going to stand by and watch the Northern Region and the Wolf Warrior Unit fall?” “You think too highly of me, Master! I have become nothing different from an ordinary man ever since getting severely wounded three years ago.

Furthermore, I still have something I cannot forget. I’m sorry about that!” replied Emmanuel helplessly.

“Alas, you’re such a disappointment, son! How many times have I taught you this? Without our country, neither of us would survive until now. Have you really forgotten your mission as a warrior for the Northern Region?” Santiago let out a sigh once more.

How can I forget? Emmanuel thought to himself. Every warrior and soldier in the Northern Region knew their purpose as they all had an obligation to fight for Chanaea until their last breath.

When Emmanuel still hadn’t changed his mind even after Santiago’s persistent persuasion, the latter sighed and said, “You took back the Wolf Warrior Tablet, rascal! Naturally, you’re going to be his master! Furthermore, even if you agree to return to the Northern Region, your reinstatement won’t be easy either. Anyway, since you don’t want to come back, I’ll make an exception for someone outside of the Wolf Warrior Unit to undertake a triple-S class mission.” “What kind of mission is that?” Emmanuel paused and asked. After all, he didn’t think he was as fit as he used to be before, not to mention his reluctance to return to the battlefield. Therefore, he didn’t understand why his mentor still trusted him so much.

After all, he didn’t think he was as fit as he used to be before, not to mention his reluctance to return to the battlefield. Therefore, he didn’t understand why his mentor still trusted him so much.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 414-“To take out the enemy of the country! The enemy who abetted Kan Bender in betraying Chanaea! The enemy who put our country through so much unimaginable suffering!” Santiago replied briefly, showing his trust in his mentee, Emmanuel. Deep down, he trusted his own judgment about Emmanuel, believing he could perform as well as he used to before despite not being as fit as his former self. novelbin Emmanuel was surprised, not expecting Santiago to assign him with such a mission. “Master, I…” “What’s wrong? Have you lost your guts or something?” Santiago interrupted Emmanuel when the latter didn’t give him an affirmative answer. “It’s been three years! The punishment that the country imposed on you back then is no longer effective, so what are you waiting for? Don’t you want to avenge your dead comrades? Don’t you want to do something about the humiliation the Wolf Warrior Unit suffered, as well as the Northern Region’s defeat?” Bang! Agitated, Santiago slammed the wooden table with his palm and broke it into two. At the same time, the old man’s hair billowed in the air as his sleeves fluttered in an intimidating manner. As the Northern Region’s experienced commander, Santiago’s charismatic persona and persuasive words seemingly awoke the passion within Emmanuel, who had left his career for the past three years. “Avenge our brother! Kill our enemies!” Emmanuel also echoed his mentor’s words.

As the atmosphere intensified with their emotions, Santiago went on to bellow in anger, saying, “Those people would do anything for their personal gains at the cost of the country’s interest. After so many years, that man is still at large, and because he has a huge network of connections, he takes advantage of the rich and powerful to cover for his tracks. Can you tolerate this?” “Who exactly is he?” Emmanuel asked with a glacial look on his face, wondering what kind of relationship that mysterious person had with the Zelinsky family.

Instead of answering Emmanuel’s question directly, Santiago placed a brocade bag in front of Emmanuel. When Emmanuel opened it, he saw a picture of an individual and, some documents related to the person’s identity.

At the sight of that, he felt goosebumps running all over his body, his eyes 5 filled with disbelief. “Well, I can’t force you to rejoin the squad if you insist, but since you’ve accepted this mission, this is your payment. The contract will be effective for two years, so don’t let me down.” Santiago then placed a golden card right in front of Emmanuel.

“But…” Emmanuel was filled with mixed feelings, knowing the card was no ordinary item when he glanced at it. I bet I’m going to have a lot of money to spend with this card, but I’m someone who made a terrible mistake in the past, so do I really deserve this?

Nonetheless, Santiago waved his hand, his agitated reaction slowly turning into a benevolent and calm look. “These awards were given to you back then.

Thus, they belong to you. Now that you’ve killed Kan and returned to the Northern Region once more, I’m just returning the things you left behind three years ago to their rightful owner.” Emmanuel felt touched, thinking Santiago was just like a loving father to him.

“By the way, if you’re going back, don’t go back directly to Yeringham!” Santiago reminded Emmanuel after discussing important business with him.

Emmanuel nodded as a gesture that meant he understood Santiago, showing he didn’t need his mentor to elaborate. After all, he knew how important it was to keep his whereabouts mysterious. Furthermore, his plan was to kill the main enemy behind the treason conducted against Chanaea, which was all the more reason for him to lay low, or his enemy would know he was onto them. Thus, he did everything he could to keep his whereabouts a secret and was even thinking about taking a few days off in another city to create some confusion.

Half a month later, Mackenzie was hosting a board meeting in the conference room at Terence Group. “Mr. Schwartz, your on-time delivery date has gone down by 30 percent this quarter. If this continues, you can prepare your resignation letter this month.” “Mr. Lanaway, it appears that your marketing strategy is working. Our next target is to expand our reach to the Southwest region and increase our coverage by 30 percent!”

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 415-Mr. Langstrom, I’m counting on you to expand our business to the market in the Southeast region.” Mackenzie spoke coldly, demonstrating her efficiency in delegating duties. As soon as she dismissed the meeting, everybody else left, whereupon she sat down in her seat in exhaustion. At that moment, Lexi was the only one who was still keeping her company in the conference room. “It’s been two weeks, but why hasn’t that moron responded to my message?” Mackenzie gently rubbed her temples and murmured to herself, although she sounded like she was asking someone a question. As someone who knew Mackenzie well, Lexi had been carefully observing her for the past few days. Until she saw how concerned Mackenzie was about Emmanuel, she never thought her boss would miss a man so dearly. Maybe it’s true that the power of love is unimaginable. Lexi nudged her own. glasses, complimenting herself for making a smart move to stay single. It looks like I’m doing the right thing without dating anyone, or I’m going to be the one suffering. “Answer me, Lexi.” When Mackenzie set her piercing gaze upon Lexi, the latter felt shivers running down her spine and quickly answered, “Ms. Quillen, everyone across the city knows whom you’re looking for. They’re just not sure if you’re the one who sent that message. We’ve done everything we could, but Emmanuel is still nowhere to be found, which can only mean one thing-he is out of Yeringham. “Damn it!” Mackenzie clenched her fists. “I’m going to make him pay for this when I find him!” Lexi couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of Mackenzie’s intimidating eyes, thinking Emmanuel would never dare show up again if he saw her menacing expression. Suddenly, Mackenzie heard a notification alert from her phone and saw an incoming message. Upon skimming through the text, she was seen with her mouth slightly wide agape, her face changing. The next moment, she rose from her seat and walked straight out the door. “Where are you going, Ms. Quillen?” Lexi asked in a panicky manner, following closely behind Mackenzie. “Onza!” Mackenzie gave a terse reply, leaving in a hurry without waiting for anyone to come along with her. Upon rushing downstairs to the parking lot, she entered her Maserati and drove to Onza straight away. It turned out that the message she received not long ago was from Beatrix, who had informed her of something related to Emmanuel’s whereabouts. I can’t believe she actually found something about Emmanuel’s whereabouts after skipping work for ten days. At that moment, Mackenzie’s mind was filled with only Emmanuel, thinking, she would punish him terribly when she found him. Finally, Emmanuel! I’m going to make you regret ghosting me! Hmph! Putting her foot on the gas pedal, Mackenzie sped up on the road as she couldn’t wait to arrive in Onza. At the same time, she couldn’t help but question what was wrong with herself. After all, she didn’t feel quite like herself as she had always disliked being anywhere close to any man until Emmanuel entered her life. Since then, her life seemed to have changed so much that she could never go back to the life she once had before he showed up. novelbin Having lived together with Emmanuel for nearly two months, Mackenzie was already used to the life in which he prepared her daily meals and drove her anywhere she wanted to go. Also, she had already grown used to frequently interacting with Emmanuel’s family members. Thus, without Emmanuel, she felt as if something was missing from her life. Also, she couldn’t stop thinking about the last two times Emmanuel came to her rescue in a foolhardy manner despite the dire situation she was in. Just when Mackenzie was still absorbed in her thoughts, she began to enter Onza’s main road when she found herself stuck in the traffic. Then, after she took a closer look at what was going on ahead of her, her eyes were filled with indifference. Several people were standing in a circle with candles around them at the junction. Then, a man was seen holding a bouquet, getting ready to confess to a lady. She was the same person whom Emmanuel met during his eighteenth speed date, Milani. As their romantic interaction drew the attention of many bystanders, the traffic soon became congested, but the duo wasn’t concerned by that as they seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight.

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 416- Today, Milani was in an especially good mood. Previously, she had failed in wooing Emmanuel and even disclosed a lot of mushy confessions because she thought that she could achieve a lot by just making a small sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, Emmanuel already had a wife, and it was pointless for her to cling to him. After all, a woman with her qualifications shouldn’t stoop down to be a third party in someone’s relationship.

More importantly, Emmanuel was financially dependent on his wealthy wife, and it would make her the gigolo’s second-hand lover if she asked him to provide for her instead. Just the thought of this idea seemed ridiculous, so she had no other choice but to give up. So, she moved to Onza, too embarrassed to remain in Yeringham.

Alas, she managed to entrap a rich man. Finally, after all her efforts, the man was going to publicly confess to her, which made her feel that she was the main female character in one of the novels.

“Give me a kiss, baby.” The man had a white suit and looked a little pampered and noble-just like a kid born with a silver spoon-despite having greasy skin problems. Also, he looked a few years younger than Milani.

“Honey, you haven’t gone down on one knee to confess yet!” There was no way Milani would agree to his proposal so easily. Even though she loved money, she was after romance and status, too. Does he think that I’m just a club hostess if he could just ask anything of me in public?

The man’s name was Noah Lofis, the son of a wealthy man in Onza, and had a lot of experience playing the field. He could come up with any means to please a woman and was ready to bend his knee just to get a kiss from Milani. Unfortunately, an accident happened right then.

Suddenly, Mackenzie marched into the scene, raised her long leg, and kicked the candles around, instantly putting out more than half of them. “Get out of the way and don’t be a hindrance on the road! Get rid of this quickly or I’ll run you over with my car. Just try me if you don’t believe me.” After she spat out her order, she twirled around and stomped back to her car. Getting things done in a swift manner had always been her way.

Oh no, this is bad! Many from the scene were shocked, their jaws hanging as they watched Mackenzie’s indifferent, heartless silhouette, and when she was back in her car, they slowly realized what just happened.

Even Milani was dumbstruck. When she came to her senses, she was so enraged that she almost went berserk. Who the hell is this b*tch? Is she having menopause? How dare she destroy my romantic moment!

Suddenly, someone gasped. “Hey, look at that beautiful woman. I think she’s really going to run them over with her car!” “Really? I don’t think she’ll really do it. A woman doesn’t have the guts to— F*ck! She’s actually doing it! Run!” “That woman is crazy! Ah!” Just a second ago, the crowd who was watching the commotion didn’t believe that Mackenzie would drive over with her car, but the next second, they were scrambling for their lives.

“Ah, that crazy b*tch-” A shocked Milani staggered away in fear and stumbled to the ground when someone stepped on her heels.

Swoosh!

4/4 Luckily, Mackenzie’s driving skills were not bad and she could swerve past the people through the gaps between them and didn’t hit Milani.

After the Maserati zoomed past, only then did Milani dare to open her eyes, as though she had narrowly escaped death. She panted as she shrieked, “That woman has lost her mind! She’s crazy!” Slowly, the bystanders gathered around and started to gush, “Damn, this is the first time in my life I’ve ever seen a woman with such guts!”

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 417-“Yeah, this is just… too domineering, isn’t it?” Surprisingly, many people thought Mackenzie’s previous appearance was very cool! However, Noah Lofis was infuriated as he scrambled to his feet, swearing all sorts of foul curses. Then, he shouted, “Quickly find out who that woman is for me! She’s simply courting death! She’d better pray I never get my hands on her, or I’ll definitely kill her!” He had two followers at the scene as well, who immediately approached and said, “Mr. Lofis, I’ve noted down the license plate number. We’ll definitely find out who she is for you. Give us some time!” Milani coldly snorted upon hearing their conversation as her eyes were filled with vengeful anticipation. The situation just happened too suddenly, and she didn’t get a clear look at that woman. She only thought that Noah had great influence, and as long as they found that woman, they would surely be able to deal with that harpy! 77 On the other hand, Mackenzie didn’t take what just happened seriously at all. Was obstructing traffic openly considered reasonable these days? She was driving while having a conversation via Bluetooth and giving orders, “Lexi, I’ve run all the red lights I could from Yeringham to Onza in my Maserati. Help me pay the fines in advance!” On the other end, Lexi was momentarily rendered speechless by Mackenzie’s sudden wild side. After she came to her senses, she immediately said, “Yes, Ms. Mackenzie, but may I ask, do you have to be this domineering? What exactly are you planning to do that requires you to rush like this? I’ve never seen you so restless even when negotiating a 150 million deal!” novelbin “I’ve found Emmanuel. That b*stard is in Onza!” She didn’t have time to explain in detail to Lexi and hung up after that sentence. Soon, the Maserati stopped at a civilian apartment on the outskirts of Onza. “Beatrix, is Emmanuel here?” Mackenzie got out of the car and immediately hurriedly asked her sister, who was standing outside the apartment. “Wow, did you fly over?” Beatrix was stunned. It hadn’t even been two hours since she sent a message to inform Mackenzie, and Mackenzie had already made a cross–city transfer??) “Don’t waste time. Tell me what’s going on!” “Erm… I found Emmanuel, but it seems like he isn’t here right now!” Beatrix sighed helplessly. She only came to Onza to try her luck after she failed to find him in Yeringham. As she had a friend working in city institutions, she asked for a favor. That friend swiftly conducted a keyword search and actually found a few records. After she ruled out the incorrect ones, she finally arrived at this hotel and had That dummy was truly clueless. What was the use of coming to a place like this to feel sad and alone? Couldn’t he have the courage to embrace her? It’s not like he hasn’t done this before! Is he still a man? Why does he keep regressing the longer he lives? “How long did this guy rent the room for? When did he leave?” Mackenzie asked the hotel owner. “Um, he rented it for almost half a month and checked out this morning!” Jude answered truthfully. “This morning?” Mackenzie furrowed her brow in thought. How coincidental was that? Did he just happen to leave, or did he realize that she was searching for him everywhere and decided to change his location to evade her clutches? Men were really troublesome creatures! In the Quillen residence, Terence received the distress message from Mackenzie and was equally thrilled. He immediately shouted, “Alfred! Quickly! Mobilize some people and bring that brat Emmanuel back for me!” He was even more anxious than Mackenzie! His granddaughter could afford to wait, but given his age and physical condition, he didn’t have any time left to spare! If they didn’t find Emmanuel soon, Terence might not live long enough to see the birth of the Quillen family’s great–grandchild. Then, who would inherit the vast Quillen family estate and wealth? In the hotel, Jude was about to tease Mackenzie after seeing that she was lingering for so long. He was almost fifty years old himself, and his daughter was almost the same age as Mackenzie, but he had never seen such a graceful and elegant beauty before! The only downside was that this beauty was too arrogant, and her way of speaking was too juvenile. Searching the whole city for someone? Had she read too many novels about domineering CEOS? Those were the actions of a CEO, so what was she trying to prove as a woman? Alas, there was suddenly a commotion outside the apartment door before he could bring that little tidbit to attention. Mackenzie completely ignored the approaching Jude and walked past him toward the door. -Hé also hurriedly walked out, and as soon as he saw what was happening, his eyes almost popped out of his head! “What… what’s going on?” He could feel himself shaking. Dozens of cars suddenly appeared in front of his hotel bringing along hundreds of people! Oh, my goodness, this is too terrifying! Luckily, Jude had just heard Mackenzie mention searching the whole city, or he might have mistaken them for troublemakers coming for him. If that happened, he would probably wet his pants on the spot! Just as I thought, this woman is so domineering. It turns out she’s truly a domineering CEO?! Jude sighed inwardly and felt his cheeks heating up. Fortunately, he hadn’t uttered those teasing words, or how could he possibly give himself an out now? “Ms. Mackenzie, please give your orders!” “Ms. Mackenzie, please give your orders!” The hundreds of people were divided into two groups, but they all obeyed Mackenzie’s command to search for Emmanuel. 5/5 “Search the entire city and notify me immediately when you find Emmanuel!” Mackenzie issued her orders from her position, looking just like a commander. “Yes, Ma’am!” It was that dummy’s hair! Mackenzie had mysophobia. She used to often find Emmanuel’s hair at home. At first, she would throw them into the trash bin with utter disgust, but later on, she became used to it. Now, she even picked it up and held it tightly in her hand like a precious treasure. In the next moment, her beautiful eyes turned slightly red–rimmed. “If I had known you would be hurt so deeply and if I had known it would lead to Claudette’s death, I wouldn’t have played games and divorced you back then!” “If you hadn’t left my side, none of the things that followed would have happened.” “A house without you feels so lonely when I’m living alone!” Mackenzie’s murmuring voice was barely audible, but Beatrix could still vaguely hear some of the contents, and Mackenzie’s expression was quite fascinating! She had known that Mackenzie liked Emmanuel, but she hadn’t expected that Mackenzie had actually fallen in love with him! Oh, can you believe it? This scene is so incredible! If I go back and tell my 7 aunts and cousins, they will never believe it! Hehe. “Emmanuel, you dummy. Where are you?” Mackenzie sighed softly and carefully put Emmanuel’s hair into her pocket. Days passed and it brought nothing but disappointment. Even with over a hundred people conducting a blanket search in the Onza, and with Lexi and Beatrix mobilizing the information networks of the Quillen family and the Summerton family, there was still no trace of Emmanuel. The next morning, Mackenzie couldn’t hold back her impatience anymore and decided to go out and search on her own. She didn’t even know where to start looking for that dummy. Moreover, she was well aware that if Emmanuel was determined to avoid her, it would be difficult for her to find him, even with her abundant wealth. Regardless, she was always the one that never accepted defeat. Besides, she would make sure to be on the winning side even in a game of hide–and–seek! This time, she had to win against that dummy! Mackenzie didn’t even realize where she had ended up as she mindlessly wandered around. Suddenly, she raised her gaze and found herself in front of a large hotel. Although the hotel was beautiful, the Quillen family owned far more luxurious hotels than this one, so it didn’t catch her attention at all. She stopped outside the entrance because she saw the sign of the hotel’s restaurant, which featured a delicious lemon butter garlic salmon dish. She remembered that Emmanuel loved to make this dish. He would also often go on and on that eating lemon would stimulate the appetite and that eating fish was not only good for one’s health but also good for the brain. At that time, Mackenzie had teased him while saying, “Well, you really need to

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 418-“Mackenzie, it’s possible that Emmanuel found out someone was looking for him, so he left early!” Beatrix immediately speculated.

Mackenzie felt her frown deepen. Could it be true?

She knew Emmanuel very well. That man appeared foolish, but he had strong observational skills. It was possible that he had sensed someone was looking for him and decided to flee.

Was he still avoiding her?

Why?

Well, she didn’t care whether it was true. Instead, she immediately took out her phone and instructed, “Lexi, send someone to Onza to find Emmanuel! It doesn’t matter if we have to dig for clues, search the whole city! I need to find that infuriating man!” Jude couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing the one–sided conversation.

Search the whole city?

This woman was great in every aspect, but she seemed rather addled. Who did she think she was? The richest person in the city?

Onza was vast, and for them to find one person was like finding a needle in a haystack, let alone searching the entire city. It was nothing but a pipe dream!

Mackenzie naturally didn’t care about the thoughts of such insignificant people. After she hung up the phone, she felt that relying solely on Lexi’s arrangements might not be enough for the outcome she desired. So, after she gave it a moment of thought, she sent a message to her grandfather as well.

Now that she was certain that Emmanuel, that dummy, was in Onza, she wouldn’t let him slip away from her again!

Even if that man truly wanted to leave her, he had to explain everything to her. Otherwise, she would never allow it!

“Fantastic! You finally found that brat Emmanuel!” 3/5 In the Quillen residence, Terence received the distress message from Mackenzie and was equally thrilled. He immediately shouted, “Alfred! Quickly! novelbin Mobilize some people and bring that brat Emmanuel back for me!” He was even more anxious than Mackenzie!

His granddaughter could afford to wait, but given his age and physical condition, he didn’t have any time left to spare!

If they didn’t find Emmanuel soon, Terence might not live long enough to see the birth of the Quillen family’s great–grandchild. Then, who would inherit the vast Quillen family estate and wealth?

In the hotel, Jude was about to tease Mackenzie after seeing that she was lingering for so long. He was almost fifty years old himself, and his daughter was almost the same age as Mackenzie, but he had never seen such a graceful and elegant beauty before!

The only downside was that this beauty was too arrogant, and her way of speaking was too juvenile. Searching the whole city for someone? Had she read too many novels about domineering CEOS?

Those were the actions of a CEO, so what was she trying to prove as a woman?

Alas, there was suddenly a commotion outside the apartment door before he could bring that little tidbit to attention.

Mackenzie completely ignored the approaching Jude and walked past him toward the door.

He also hurriedly walked out, and as soon as he saw what was happening, his eyes almost popped out of his head!

“What… what’s going on?” 4/5 He could feel himself shaking. Dozens of cars suddenly appeared in front of his hotel bringing along hundreds of people!

Oh, my goodness, this is too terrifying!

Luckily, Jude had just heard Mackenzie mention searching the whole city, or he might have mistaken them for troublemakers coming for him. If that happened, he would probably wet his pants on the spot!

Just as I thought, this woman is so domineering. It turns out she’s truly a domineering CEO?!

Jude sighed inwardly and felt his cheeks heating up. Fortunately, he hadn’t uttered those teasing words, or how could he possibly give himself an out now?

“Ms. Mackenzie, please give your orders!” “Ms. Mackenzie, please give your orders!” The hundreds of people were divided into two groups, but they all obeyed Mackenzie’s command to search for Emmanuel.

“Search the entire city and notify me immediately when you find Emmanuel!” Mackenzie issued her orders from her position, looking just like a commander.

“Yes, Ma’am!”

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 419-Hundreds of people quickly got into their vehicles and disappeared from the front of the hotel in an instant.

Jude felt like he was in a dream. Was there a film crew here to shoot a movie? Were the people extras? If he accidentally appeared on camera, would they give him some compensation?

However, Mackenzie paid no attention to his thoughts. After she gave orders for a city–wide search, she walked directly into the hotel and entered the room where Emmanuel had stayed for over ten days.

“Mackenzie, what are you going to do?” Beatrix followed Mackenzie into the room and wondered why her sister would come in when Emmanuel had already left. novelbin Mackenzie didn’t answer Beatrix. Instead, she searched the room and her gaze suddenly stopped on the floor.

There was a strand of black hair.

1TM It was that dummy’s hair!

Mackenzie had mysophobia. She used to often find Emmanuel’s hair at home. At first, she would throw them into the trash bin with utter disgust, but later on, she became used to it.

Now, she even picked it up and held it tightly in her hand like a precious treasure. In the next moment, her beautiful eyes turned slightly red–rimmed.

“If I had known you would be hurt so deeply and if I had known it would lead to Claudette’s death, I wouldn’t have played games and divorced you back then!” “If you hadn’t left my side, none of the things that followed would have happened.” “A house without you feels so lonely when I’m living alone!” Mackenzie’s murmuring voice was barely audible, but Beatrix could still vaguely hear some of the contents, and Mackenzie’s expression was quite fascinating!

She had known that Mackenzie liked Emmanuel, but she hadn’t expected that Mackenzie had actually fallen in love with him!

Oh, can you believe it? This scene is so incredible! If I go back and tell my aunts and cousins, they will never believe it! Hehe.

“Emmanuel, you dummy. Where are you?” Mackenzie sighed softly and carefully put Emmanuel’s hair into her pocket.

Days passed and it brought nothing but disappointment. Even with over a hundred people conducting a blanket search in the Onza, and with Lexi and Beatrix mobilizing the information networks of the Quillen family and the Summerton family, there was still no trace of Emmanuel.

The next morning, Mackenzie couldn’t hold back her impatience anymore and decided to go out and search on her own.

She didn’t even know where to start looking for that dummy. Moreover, she was well aware that if Emmanuel was determined to avoid her, it would be difficult for her to find him, even with her abundant wealth.

Regardless, she was always the one that never accepted defeat. Besides, she would make sure to be on the winning side even in a game of hide–and–seek!

This time, she had to win against that dummy!

Mackenzie didn’t even realize where she had ended up as she mindlessly wandered around. Suddenly, she raised her gaze and found herself in front of a large hotel.

.

” Although the hotel was beautiful, the Quillen family owned far more luxurious hotels than this one, so it didn’t catch her attention at all.

She stopped outside the entrance because she saw the sign of the hotel’s restaurant, which featured a delicious lemon butter garlic salmon dish.

She remembered that Emmanuel loved to make this dish. He would also often go on and on that eating lemon would stimulate the appetite and that eating fish was not only good for one’s health but also good for the brain.

At that time, Mackenzie had teased him while saying, “Well, you really need to eat more of it, you dummy!” When she recalled those moments, a wave of nostalgia and sadness engulfed her once again.

That man made her experience the feeling of being in a relationship. He made her realize that she was a normal woman.

He knew how to take care of her, yet he could also make her so angry that she ended up drunk. Twice!

She loved and hated him at the same time, and after leaving him, she could never go back to being the person she was before.

Perhaps, this was what marriage felt like!

Now, every moment spent with Emmanuel was incredibly precious to her because she was deeply worried that she might lose him forever!

Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 420-By some strange coincidence, Mackenzie actually decided to enter the hotel alone and went to the restaurant on the third floor. Then, she swept her gaze across the room and took a seat.

“Miss, may I take your order?” Mackenzie had just sat down when Jimmy approached with a smile.

In addition to the lemon butter garlic salmon, she also ordered several dishes that Emmanuel used to cook as well as dishes that both she and Emmanuel’ enjoyed eating.

Finally, she ordered two bottles of expensive red wine.

“Um, Miss, aren’t you alone? Will you be able to finish it all?” Jimmy asked cautiously.

He was genuinely concerned because he sensed that Mackenzie seemed a bit absent-minded as if she had just experienced a heartbreak and resorted to splurging in order to vent her feelings.

He was worried that she might regret it later when she regained her senses.

Little did he expect Mackenzie to suddenly give him a sharp, intimidating look that sent shivers down his spine.

“Don’t waste my time. Just bring the food!” Snap.

-After Mackenzie spoke, she forcefully slapped a black card on the table as she was too preoccupied to engage in further conversation with the waiter.

The waiter’s facial expression instantly changed after realizing that he was dealing with a wealthy goddess!

He didn’t dare to meddle any further. Instead, he quickly nodded and bowed before leaving.

Before long, all the dishes were served and filled the entire table.

“Bring me two sets of cutleries!” Mackenzie ordered again.

“Ah? Yes, Miss!” Jimmy quickly complied even though he found it a bit strange. Why would she need two sets of cutleries when dining alone?

When the second set of cutleries was brought, he finally realized that the dishes seemed very familiar. It seemed that the new male waiter at their restaurant also enjoyed the dishes she had just ordered!

Was it a coincidence? Or… Jimmy hesitated while thinking about how Mackenzie didn’t appreciate his curiosity earlier. In the end, he decided not to say anything more and simply placed the cutlery on the table before walking away.

Mackenzie looked at the table full of dishes Emmanuel loved, but no one was sitting across from her. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of emptiness and let out a weary sigh.

How she wished he was sitting across from her at this moment.

Without his company, she realized that even the food wasn’t as appealing as it used to be.

You cooked so many meals, but I never treated you to a meal. You saved my life twice, but I repaid you by kicking you out of the house. Won’t you let me make it up to you? Dummy, where are you?

Mackenzie wanted to scream, but it wasn’t in her composed and reserved nature to do such a thing. In the end, it turned into yet another sigh.

Then, she slowly picked up the chopsticks, but instead of picking up any food, she slowly put them back down.

It turned out that when a person was missing someone, even the food she loved became tasteless.

Jimmy was stealing glances at Mackenzie from afar because she was so beautiful and elegant.

He had always been curious about what kind of person such a beautiful goddess was.

Was she heartbroken and mentally troubled?

It was such a pity. She could have her pick of all sorts of men! Why was she torturing herself like this?

He really wanted to approach and console Mackenzie, but he didn’t have the courage.

“Emmanuel, you fool. Do you know that I’ve lost a good deal of weight in this half month without you? When you return, I will make sure you fatten me up. I won’t ever diet, and I’ll make you suffer… Hmph, once I find you, you won’t be able to leave my sight again. I won’t make the same mistake twice!” Mackenzie began to mutter to herself.

She had been suppressing her emotions for far too long!
