Ch. 711..720

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 711-Meanwhile, Emmanuel drove the Gomezes in his Maserati to the Serenity Resort.

“My, Mr. Lowe, this car of yours must be quite expensive.” Edith knew the least about Emmanuel. He appeared so easygoing when he came over to theirs that she thought he was just an ordinary boy. Little did she expect him to drive such a luxurious car.

“Well, I don’t really know the price. The car isn’t mine. I’m just the driver, haha… Emmanuel responded with a candid smile.

Rhea, sitting in the passenger seat, liked this side of him. During her school days, she had encountered numerous guys who loved to show off, especially when borrowing someone else’s car-they would act all high and mighty.

Emmanuel, however, was different from those guys.

“By the way, Rhea, there’s something I’d like to ask you.” Emmanuel, who was driving leisurely, decided to discuss his cousin’s matter.

“Oh? What about?” Rhea was secretly stealing glances at Emmanuel’s profile when he suddenly started talking to her. She quickly turned her face away and blushed.

“Well, it’s about my cousin, Ryder…” Emmanuel briefly explained the situation, even mentioning the part about pretending to be Tia’s boyfriend for a day.

He wasn’t going to be direct and ask Rhea if she’d be willing to go on a blind date with Ryder. Instead, he wanted to learn how to help Ryder get closer to Tia.

“Oh, this isn’t too difficult!” Rhea, wanting to play the role of a love guru for Emmanuel, had been reading quite a few books lately. She immediately offered advice, “Since she willingly asked you to be her boyfriend, it means she has feelings for you. Just try to find opportunities to ask her out and invite your cousin as well. This will give them a chance to build a connection.

“Of course, you have to be subtle in how you ask a girl out, or else she might sense your intentions and become reluctant to come. But don’t worry. I’ll give you a detailed strategy when I get back tonight!” Emmanuel was immediately boosted by her suggestions. Even though this might consume a fair amount of his time, he couldn’t disregard the fact that Ryder was like a blood brother to him.

Soon after, the four of them arrived at Serenity Resort, They had reserved VIP Suite 888, but the one guiding them to their room wasn’t the head manager Eleanor, but rather a female receptionist. novelbin Upon reaching the entrance of Suite 888, they noticed a commotion.

“Please don’t get upset just yet, Mr. Verkade. I’ll immediately talk to the guests who reserved this room and ask them to cancel their reservation!” Eleanor appeared slightly flustered, trying to appease Jonathan Verkade with a smile.

However, Jonathan maintained his usual arrogant attitude, “Why even bother asking? Just tell them their reservation is canceled. As for what happens next, you figure it out.

He had just boasted earlier. If he couldn’t get in this very moment, he would be utterly humiliated.

“We don’t have such a rule in our restaurant, Mr. Verkade. I beg you to let me communicate with them first. It won’t take much time,” Eleanor persisted in upholding the restaurant’s protocols, just as she had before. After all, she knew who paid her salary.

“Well, what are you waiting for?” Taking Tia’s feelings into consideration, Jonathan decided to give Eleanor five minutes. If it were before, he would have already started a physical confrontation.

“Okay!” Eleanor immediately dialed a number.

Rhea had just arrived at the corridor in front of Suite 888 when her phone rang.

“Hello, is this Ms. Gomez?” Eleanor got straight to the point. “I’m sorry, but because we have another guest who wants Suite 888, would you consider switching to another room?” “What? That’s not possible!” Rhea immediately refused. Her family and Emmanuel had arrived on time for their reservation. Why should they accept a last-minute change?

Emmanuel had even witnessed the scene at the room entrance and couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly. Why is Tia and her mother with a rascal like Jonathan?

“Mr. Verkade, I’m sorry, but the guests declined,” Eleanor apologized to Jonathan with a bitter smile.

“D*mn it! You incompetent fool! You can’t even handle something so small!

Get lost! I’ll handle it myself!”

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 712-As expected, Jonathan exploded in anger, snatching the phone and loudly threatening Rhea, “Listen up! I am Jonathan of the Verkade family in Yeringham. I’m going to consume in Suite 888 tonight. You’ll switch with me if you know better. I can even give you a tip. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences!” Rhea’s mood instantly soured!

She had intended to make up for her failed cooking by choosing the VIP Suite 888 to treat Emmanuel. However, the restaurant first convinced her to change her reservation, and now she was being threatened.

Of course, she was aware of the power of the Verkade family in Yeringham, but what place did Jonathan hold in that family? How dare he use their name to intimidate her?!

Her anger temporarily rendered her speechless.

Jonathan, on the other hand, mistook her silence for fear and grew even more arrogant. “If you know what’s good for you, say you’ll change the reservation. No one can take what I have laid my eyes on!” At that, he looked at Tia with a triumphant glance. However, the young woman only felt a strong aversion. If she were to become involved with a man like this, not only would she lack security, but she would also feel afraid.

However, Marianne was wholly pleased, for she believed having a son-in-law like Jonathan would ensure no one would dare bully her family.

“Hey!” Just as Jonathan was at the height of his arrogance, someone called out to him from behind.

Jonathan’s smile instantly froze at the sound of the familiar voice, and he a sense of foreboding quickly crept up on him.

He turned around, and sure enough, Emmanuel, the Great Demon King, was right there.

“E-Emmanuel? What… What are you doing here?” Jonathan’s smile stiffened as he quickly stepped back, his back against the door of the suite.

His drastic change in demeanor rendered Marianne stumped, and Rhea felt the same way. She couldn’t believe someone so arrogant acted like a mouse encountering a cat when seeing Emmanuel.

Is Emmanuel that scary?

“I’m here to eat, and you’re in my way,” Emmanuel said nonchalantly.

However, Jonathan’s legs were trembling with fear! The scene’ of him previously being choked and lifted off the ground by Emmanuel in this restaurant replayed in his head. It was a nightmare that haunted him.

“Is… is this your reservation?” he asked in a quivering voice.

“Naturally! Are you going to snatch it again?” Emmanuel asked.

“What? No, no, no!” Jonathan waved his hands hastily. “I-I have no intention of doing that, haha. I was just asking!” “What are you still standing there for, then? Good dogs don’t stand in the way!” Emmanuel’s gaze turned icy.

Jonathan immediately scurried to open the door for them, rendering everyone present flabbergasted!

Marianne felt regretful even more so. Why can’t this man be my girl’s real boyfriend? Ah, how great would that be! Besides, that woman next to him isn’t any better than Tia. novelbin “Emmanuel, let’s go in!” Rhea said to Emmanuel with a smile, delighted beyond measure.

This was true masculine dominance! No need to resort to clawing and growling like Jonathan; true authority emanated from within.

“Sure.” Emmanuel nodded and turned to Tia. “Would you like to join us for a meal?” Rhea was momentarily stunned. So, this is the Tia that Emmanuel had just mentioned? What a coincidence!

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 713-“Um…” Tia certainly wanted to have dinner with Emmanuel, but she glanced at Rhea.

What a young and beautiful girl, and she seemed so gentle, a proper lady!

In contrast, she was just a kindergarten teacher from an ordinary family. How could/she compete with her?!

“Maybe not. I’m here for a blind date today!” Tia, feeling a bit inferior, declined softly.

At the wedding, although she saw Mackenzie call Emmanuel, she wasn’t certain she was his wife. They didn’t seem like a couple, more like a superior and subordinate.

Now that she saw Rhea, Tia was even more convinced that Rhea was probably Emmanuel’s woman.

Emmanuel and his girlfriend were having dinner with her family; what business did she have interfering?

“Alright then.” Emmanuel cast another glance at Jonathan and let out a silent sigh. He thought it would be a shame if Tia really ended up with Jonathan.

However, it was her choice, and he had no say in it.

Both groups ultimately sat down separately for their meals.

Jonathan was upset that he couldn’t get the Suite 888, so he just gave up and found a random table to eat at.

He was no fool; he had already interpreted the look in Tia’s eyes. It seemed like she had some kind of fascination with Emmanuel, that demon king.

At the table, Marianne tried her best to play matchmaker.

Though she also thought that Jonathan was far inferior to Emmanuel and his earlier behavior had been quite dismal, he was still a wealthy young man, after all. Marrying her daughter to him would ensure a comfortable material life.

Jonathan, in a bad mood and not interested in wasting time, grabbed Tia’s hand directly. “So, how about being my girlfriend? Let’s go on a date tonight. If it goes well, I’ll arrange our engagement soon.” A clichéd proposition, his plan was to get intimate with Tia tonight no matter what.

Tia wasn’t naive. She could see right through his intentions.

She quickly withdrew her hand and shook her head. “We’re still not familiar novelbin enough with each other yet. Let’s take it slow.” “Slow my foot!” Jonathan slammed the table and was about to vent his anger on Tia when he unexpectedly saw Emmanuel again.

In reality, Emmanuel was still worried that Tia would be taken advantage of.

After all, she was the woman his cousin liked, and Rhea also suggested that he come out and take a look and break up their blind date if possible.

Otherwise, if Tia fell into Jonathan’s trap, it would be a heartbreak not only for her but also for Ryder.

“What are you up to again, Emmanuel?” Jonathan frowned. “Have I bothered you by eating here? Be reasonable. Let’s not make trouble tonight.” He was clearly scared, yet he was trying to sound tough.

Unexpectedly, Emmanuel stared at him for a moment and then furrowed his brows, saying, “You seem to be poisoned.” Jonathan trembled slightly, then burst into laughter. “Don’t try to scare me with that nonsense! I’m not easily frightened. You just want to scare me off and ruin our blind date! It won’t work!” One had to admit that this guy was quite the dimwit.

Emmanuel didn’t bother explaining further. His expression turned slightly serious as he glanced at the people dining nearby.

After noticing many people’s expressions were off, he issued a stern warning, “I’m not lying. Someone might have poisoned the restaurant!” What? His words struck fear into the hearts of those who overheard. This was no joking matter!

“Haha, an unemployed gynecologist trying to scare people with his words?” Jonathan scoffed, thinking Emmanuel was just trying to mock him and make him embarrass himself in front of Tia.

“Unfortunately, the Verkade family also deals in the herbal medicine business, and I have medical skills. Even if I get poisoned, I can cure myself!

Don’t play tricks on- Before he could finish saying “me,” his expression changed drastically.

What’s going on?

His stomach suddenly churned violently.

Thud.

Jonathan clutched his belly and sat down heavily.

Witnessing this scene, the people around the restaurant began freaking out.

he restaurant?!

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 714-In just thirty seconds, Jonathan’s face gradually turned purplish-blue, his body started convulsing violently, his teeth chattered loudly, and his whole body was drenched in a cold sweat. It was evident he was enduring immense pain.

Emmanuel’s brows furrowed as he tried to figure out what was happening.

He had noticed the trailing earlier in the day; he should have shaken them off. Could this poisoning be aimed at me?

“Ah! Someone really did poison us!” Screams started to erupt from the crowd.

Marianne and Tia looked at Emmanuel in horror. He predicted the poisoning before anyone else! How could he have such capability?!

“Save me… Please save me!” Jonathan gazed pleadingly at Emmanuel, whom he believed had a cure to this poisoning since he predicted it.

“Sorry? Save you?” Emmanuel feigned surprise. “Mr. Verkade, didn’t you just say a moment ago that you could self-cure even if poisoned? Well then, please start your performance!” Jonathan felt like he was on the verge of death! He was in such excruciating pain that it felt like his organs were being twisted. How could he possibly self-cure?!

He regretted being so arrogant earlier.

Indeed, those who act overly proud often end up in misfortune.

At this point, more and more people began collapsing, and in just a few minutes, seven or eight people in the restaurant clutched their bellies and fell in agony.

Meanwhile, those who weren’t affected by the poison were trembling in fear, feeling utterly helpless.

“What’s going on?” The commotion in the restaurant quickly alerted Eleanor.

As the head manager, she immediately rushed over with her staff to assess the situation, but even she had never experienced such a bizarre and horrifying scene before.

Still, Eleanor drew from her work experience and quickly organized her staff.

“Call an ambulance!” she ordered. “And you! Go to Suite 888 and find Dr.

Gomez!” With that, A waiter immediately ran toward Suite 888.

Eleanor tried her best to remain calm, but deep down, she was also panicking. She couldn’t understand how some of her customers had been affected while others seemed perfectly fine.

Can it be that only those who ate a certain dish or drank a specific drink were poisoned?

With this thought in mind, she quickly ordered, “You guys, gather all the water and food on the tables!” “Yes, Ms. Eleanor!” Several staff members immediately took action.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel went over to Tia and her mother to inquire about what they had eaten and drunk earlier.

Amidst the chaos, he was the only one silently analyzing the situation.

Soon, Juan hurriedly entered the restaurant lobby.

Eleanor quickly approached him, saying, “Dr. Gomez, it seems that these novelbin people are suffering from food poisoning.” “I don’t think so!” Juan immediately denied her guess.

Eleanor was taken aback. Juan hadn’t even started diagnosing, and he had already denied her speculation!

Many people around had heard of Juan from Beacon Hospital. Learning that he was a renowned physician and fortunate enough to have him present in the restaurant, everyone felt relieved.

“Can Dr. Gomez diagnose a patient’s condition with just a glance?” “If that’s the case, he’s truly amazing!” “He really lives up to his reputation as the legendary physician of Yeringham!” People marveled and whispered to each other.

However, Juan paid no attention to these comments. He quickly approached the nearest person who had been poisoned, only for Emmanuel to warn him with a frown. “Don’t touch him, or you’ll be poisoned too!” What?!

Everyone was shocked beyond words. Emmanuel’s statement further intensified the panic among the crowd.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 715-“Who’s that man?” At this point, many people began speculating about Emmanuel’s identity. novelbin He was the first one to suggest someone had poisoned the food, but how did he know that before anyone had shown symptoms?

Suspicious!

However, Emmanuel ignored the surrounding gazes and addressed Juan, “Because you just drank the tap water from the restaurant as well. You absolutely cannot touch the source of the infection!” “What is this guy talking about?” The surrounding diners started discussing fervently.

“If drinking tap water can cause poisoning, I’ve drunk it too!” “Right, according to him, food poisoning can be contagious. Ridiculous!” “Could this be a virus?” Amidst the discussions, someone finally stood up and loudly questioned Emmanuel, “Hey, who are you? Why are you obstructing Dr. Gomez from saving people? Could you be the one who poisoned them?” All eyes were focused on Emmanuel, like cold arrows directed at him.

“Shut up!” Juan rebuked them angrily. “Don’t spread baseless rumors! He’s a prodigious doctor whose medical skills far surpass mine!” “What?!” Everyone was shocked once again!

Juan had a great reputation in Yeringham, yet he now publicly claimed that someone else’s medical skills were far superior to his!

Was he just being modest?

Then again, judging from his expression, he seemed to be serious about it.

Just then, Edith exclaimed in panic. “Oh no, Rhea just touched one of the patients!” What?! It was Emmanuel’s turn to be shocked.

Just a moment ago, they had been dining in the same private room, and he knew that Rhea had also drunk the tap water from the restaurant. However, the young woman hadn’t heard Emmanuel’s warning, as because of the urgency of the situation, she, as a medical professional, rushed out and immediately checked on the condition of the poisoned person’s eyes to assess the situation.

And now, her delicate body was trembling, her fair face turning purplish-black in an instant. She collapsed to the ground with a thud. Her situation was even worse than that of the previous victim.

“Rhea!” Emmanuel quickly ran over and shouted at Juan, “Those who have drunk the tap water must not touch the poisoned individuals! This is a combination of unusual toxins! It can be transmitted through skin contact!

“People who have drunk the tap water will store a certain toxin in their bodies.

This toxin won’t act on its own, but as long as it comes into contact with another source of poison, the person will be poisoned. Moreover, the poison will mutate rapidly upon transmission, becoming more intense!” Once again, after hearing his words, everyone fell into extréme panic.

This unusual poison was no modern virus but an ancient poison. Emmanuel had happened to come across related case details in the ‘Divine Valley Medical Records. However, he had never dreamed that he would encounter it in his life so soon!

Currently, the other poisoned individuals could still hold on. Although they were suffering, they were not in immediate danger. Rhea’s condition was the most severe, and she had lost consciousness in an instant.

Eleanor hurriedly followed Emmanuel to Rhea’s side.

He pressed Rhea’s acupuncture points, and she miraculously managed to regurgitate the tap water she had just drunk!

Eleanor was astounded.

Having witnessed Emmanuel’s miraculous skills on various occasions, she was now convinced that this man wasn’t just a prodigious physician; he was a true deity!

Emmanuel paid no attention to her gaze and instead instructed her, “Ms.

Eleanor, this female patient won’t be able to hold on until we get her to the hospital. Please quickly prepare silver needles and alcohol for me! Also, open all the doors and windows of the restaurant to ensure ventilation!” “Huh? Yes, right away!” Eleanor-snapped back to her senses and quickly nodded in response.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emmanuel first treated the first batch of poisoned individuals. He extended two fingers and applied precise pressure on their acupuncture points.

After a few consecutive moves, the poisoned individuals started vomiting out the contents of their stomachs, and their complexions instantly cleared up.

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 716-“Is that guy a martial arts master from another era? Are there really such extraordinary people in this world?” The scene was filled with exclamations.

A plot that could only be found in novels was now happening right before their eyes. None of them could believe it!

Juan was also astonished on the side, watching intently like a novice student.

This was a long-lost technique of acupuncture, the true essence of traditional medicine.

Emmanuel was focused on saving people and paid no attention to these voices. He was soon drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

Tia quickly approached, intending to wipe his sweat, but inexplicably collapsed in front of Emmanuel with a thud.

“Tia!” Emmanuel quickly checked her condition, and it was almost identical to Rhea’s.

How can this be? Has she also become a secondary carrier of the infection?!

“Mr. Lowe, here are the silver needles and alcohol! Wait, what happened to Tia?!” novelbin Eleanor personally brought a box of silver needles and alcohol to Emmanuel, only to discover that her cousin had also fallen unconscious on the ground!

“Please take them into the room for me!” With the situation urgent, Emmanuel instructed Eleanor and then held Tia with one hand and Rhea with the other, entering Suite 888.

Eleanor followed suit.

“I need to treat them separately. Could you please close the door and make sure no one disturbs me?” Emmanuel’s presence at this moment was so commanding that it left no room for disobedience.

To have a collective poisoning incident in the restaurant was a matter of great responsibility for her as the restaurant manager. If there were any casualties or injuries, she would be held accountable, not to mention that Tia was her cousin!

“Heh, being a doctor does have its perks!” “Closing the door to the room and treating two beauties alone… Oh, how scandalous and alluring that scene must be!” “Tell me about it! Unrestrained indulgence… Oh, just thinking about it makes me weak!” Some men in the restaurant whispered to each other. After all, they had imagined scenes like this or had seen similar scenarios in online videos. And since both Tia and Rhea were attractive women, their imaginations ran wild.

Emmanuel, having been a gynecologist before, had no such vulgar thoughts as those of ordinary people.

To treat Tia and Rhea in private, indeed, he would need to remove their clothes for acupuncture.

Tia, dressed in a dress for the blind date, was relatively easy to undress. Her dress was lifted straight up, stopping just below her chest. Surprisingly, she was wearing a red and white silk lingerie set with panties that resembled a thong. It looked quite provocative, contrasting her usual gentle image.

As for Rhea, she was wearing a pair of shark pants on the bottom, which didn’t need to be taken off, and a white buttoned-up cardigan on the top.

Emmanuel removed her cardigan to reveal that she was wearing a snug thermal undershirt. Lifting the undershirt, her bosoms were constrained tightly by its double elasticity. Concerned about her breathing, Emmanuel simply took it all off.

Rhea’s inner garment was pure white, giving off an icy demeanor similar to that of an aloof beauty.

With that, two fair bodies were presented before his eyes just like that.

Afterward, using a technique known as the “Nine Yang Finger Pressure,” he forced the contents of their stomachs out. Though a single poisoning incident could endanger their organs, as long as the toxins were promptly expelled, there would be no immediate life-threatening danger.

In the case of a second poisoning, where the toxins would have entered the bloodstream, silver needles were required to extract the toxins from the blood, cleansing it.

While Emmanuel was attending to the two young women, an alarm sounded outside the restaurant.

Police cars and ambulances arrived almost simultaneously at the Serenity Resort.

“We’ve received a report that there has been a poisoning incident at the Serenity Resort!” “Listen up! All men to the left, women to the right, line up quickly!!” As the entrance door swung open heavily, a woman led the way inside.

Surprisingly, at the forefront was Ashton Summerton, the newly appointed Level 3 Inspector in Yeringham.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 717-Although Ashton had a fiery temper, her leadership skills were top-notch.

Her team members were quick and efficient, their momentum unstoppable, novelbin swiftly taking control of the scene.

The restaurant’s patrons were so frightened that they dared not make a sound, obediently following the orders.

Seeing that all the doors to the private rooms were open except for Suite 888 Ashton furrowed her brows and coldly demanded of Eleanor, “Who’s in there?” Eleanor was a bit displeased with Ashton’s investigative style but maintained a stern expression as she replied, “Mr. Lowe is currently providing medical assistance to two women inside. It’s not appropriate to open the door.” “Mr. Lowe? Not appropriate?” Ashton quirked a brow and clenched her teeth in response. “What’s the full name of this Mr. Lowe?” “Emmanuel Lowe!” Though displeased, Eleanor had to cooperate with the investigation.

“What? That jerk again!” Ashton instantly turned furious. “I order you to open the door immediately!” “I can’t do that!” Eleanor stood her ground. “Even if you’re in a position of authority, you must respect people’s privacy. Mr. Lowe might need to undress the patients to treat them!” Tsk, tsk!

Outside, the crowd stirred again.

Thinking about the alluring scene inside, some men couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild.

Two beauties at once!

“Enough with the nonsense! Open the door! Can you bear the responsibility if Mr. Lowe is the poisoner and he escapes? Hmph!” Ashton’s anger resonated in a thunderous roar.

Eleanor’s resolve was no match for Ashton’s, and she could only step aside unwillingly.

With that, Ashton lifted her foot, ready to kick open the locked door.

“Don’t!” Juan cried out in alarm, his voice urgent. His daughter was in there!

However, his desperate plea couldn’t stop the hotheaded Ashton.

Click!

An unexpected scene unfolded. The door suddenly swung open from the inside just as Ashton was about to kick the door open.

Caught off guard and due to the momentum, Ashton lost her balance and ended up in the arms of the man inside.

“Captain Summerton, are you alright?” Emmanuel, expressionless, gently pushed her away.

“D*mn it!” Ashton was beside herself with rage. She had just unexpectedly embraced the man she despised the most in front of everyone. Not only that, it wasn’t her who pushed him away, but he who pushed her.

On what grounds?

She was a Level 3 Inspector, and yet she had to be mortified like this?!

“Get out here! Was it you who poisoned them?” Ashton, furious, shouted at Emmanuel, almost losing her composure.

-Pfft! Emmanuel couldn’t help but laugh. His laughter sounded unbearably harsh in Ashton’s ears.

“What the hell are you laughing at, you jack*ss?!” Ashton was so infuriated that she grabbed Emmanuel by the collar.

“I’m laughing at you!” Emmanuel gently brushed her hand away and said sternly, “Based on normal reasoning, who would believe that a poisoner would stay at the scene to save everyone after poisoning them? Do you think criminals have nothing better to do in your mind?” Pfft! The crowd sniggered.

Emmanuel’s serious words unexpectedly had a humorous effect. However, despite laughing, these people were still afraid of Ashton’s authority, so they quickly forced themselves to stop, which looked quite comical.

Ashton’s delicate face turned as red as if it were on fire, and in a fit of anger, she drew her gun and pointed it at Emmanuel.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 718-Everyone was stupefied. Eleanor was also taken aback, wondering if this woman had lost her mind. “Is this the only trick you know for handling cases?” Emmanuel showed no fear. Instead, a hint of disdain laced his face. “Also, this is called abusing power for personal revenge!” “You! You-” Ashton was so furious she almost pulled the trigger. Fortunately, her two subordinates approached to placate her. “Captain Summerton, calm down!” “There are many people watching, so be careful not to get suspended for misconduct!” Ashton knew that too, but she just couldn’t swallow her anger. “That’s enough, Ashton! You’re being unreasonable!” Juan scolded as he approached her. “Mr. Gomez, why are you here?” A trace of panic laced Ashton’s eyes while being scolded by the renowned physician of Yeringham. Juan Gomez not only saved her father’s life before but also treated her illness. In her heart, she had great respect for this renowned physician of Yeringham! Juan snorted coldly in response. “I’ve been with Emmanuel all day today, and I can vouch for his innocence. Moreover, if it weren’t for Dr. Lowe’s timely intervention, everyone here would have died by now! As the captain of the third division, instead of enforcing the law impartially upon arriving at the scene, you’re making things difficult for the hero. Is this how you should behave?” Hot-tempered Ashton had been scolded by Juan to the point where she didn’t dare to utter a word, resembling a little girl who committed a mistake. She slowly put away her gun but continued glaring at Emmanuel resentfully. Why did it seem like every time she was bullied by this man, someone would stand up to protect him? Did she owe him something in her past life? Her behavior rendered Emmanuel speechless. Before, he had only heard the phrase “well-developed limbs, simple mind” to describe certain types of men. Now, he realized what it meant to be busty but brainless… It was obvious she had replaced Deon as the captain of the third division through her physical skills and bravery. However, this would be as far as she would go with her intelligence. “Emmanuel, regardless of your grudges with Verkade, human life is paramount. Please save him too!” Juan pointed at Jonathan and pleaded with Emmanuel. As the director of Beacon Hospital, while his medical skills might not be on par with Emmanuel’s, his ethical standards were highly regarded. Ashton looked surprised again. “Mr. Gomez, do you really need to plead with him? Can’t you save him yourself?” With a sigh, Juan said, “I’m helpless against this type of poison. Emmanuel’s medical skills are ten times better than mine!” Gasp! Ashton gasped, her eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at Emmanuel. However, due to her preconceptions, even if Emmanuel’s medical skills were remarkable, she wouldn’t admire him. Instead, she would double her suspicions and believe that he was the poisoner and that his act of saving lives was just a ploy! “Em.. Emmanuel, please… save me…” Jonathan, who was curled up on the ground, also hurriedly begged Emmanuel for help. He was in excruciating pain! Emmanuel glanced at him, unable to hide his disgust. He really wouldn’t want to save Magnus’ lackey if Juan hadn’t pleaded for him. Moreover, he even suspected that this poisoning incident was related to Jonathan. Still, he ultimately spoke up, “I can save you, but how much are you willing to pay me for saving your life?” “I-” Jonathan was about to explode with anger. This b*stard saves others for free but demands money from me?! “Ten… Ten thousand! I’ll give you ten thousand… Is that enough?” With his life in someone else’s hands, Jonathan had no choice but to submit. “Ten thousand?” Emmanuel responded as though he had heard the joke of the century, then looked at the poisoned scion with disdain. “Hadn’t you acted all high and mighty in front of the VIP Suite 888? Is your life only worth ten thousand?” He deliberately said this to make Marianne give up her plan to continue pushing her daughter to this guy. If he’s only willing to spend ten thousand on his own life, how much can you expect him to spend on your daughter?! As expected, Marianne became very disappointed in Jonathan. Jonathan didn’t know Emmanuel’s intention and thought Emmanuel was intentionally mocking him. He cursed Emmanuel in his heart, wishing him impotence but a thousand descendants. novelbin But no matter how angry he was, he had to humble himself. “I-In that case… Dr. Lowe, how much… would you be willing to help me for?” Emmanuel immediately raised a finger. “Ten million. Feel free to consider at your convenience whether you want me to save you or not.” After all, it was Jonathan’s life at stake, so Emmanuel was not in a hurry at all.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 719-Jonathan once again cursed Emmanuel’s ancestors in his heart!

This son of a b*tch isn’t trying to cheat money off of me but to make me penniless!

Alas, he was out of options.

He’d lose everything if he lost his life!

Therefore, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and reluctantly agree.

Emmanuel didn’t use the same method as before, but he instead delivered a series of heavy blows directly to his chest.

Then, without bothering to disinfect the silver needles, he poked him a few times, and that was it. novelbin Eleanor and the others were dumbfounded.

This young man was a Verkade, yet he had become someone else’s punching bag! Worst, he had to pay Emmanuel ten million for it!

Only Juan shook his head in amazement. Spectators saw the fun while experts saw the technique.

Though every punch Emmanuel delivered seemed random, he actually hit all the precise acupoints.

This was the technique of acupressure therapy in traditional medicine How did Emmanuel, so young, learn such exquisite medical skills?

“The poison is neutralized. Stand and pay up.” After giving Jonathan a good beating, Emmanuel ordered him to get up and pay.

Everyone was once again dumbfounded.

Ashton snorted again, voicing everyone’s thoughts. “You b*stard, you call this detoxifying? You’re clearly trying to murder! Has anyone ever cured someone with their fists? There are so many witnesses this time. I’d like to see how you’ll deny it!” “Captain Summerton, please refrain from making baseless accusations if you don’t understand.” Emmanuel was not polite to her at all. “My fists helped him expel the poison. If you don’t believe it, see for yourself!” Ashton gritted her teeth and looked at Jonathan, and so did everyone.

Sure enough, the next moment, they saw Jonathan vomiting out black blood, which emitted a foul stench.

His bluish-purple face gradually returned to its normal color.

“Stop playing dead!” Emmanuel waited for him to finish vomiting, then kicked him mercilessly and said, “If you dare to deny it, I can not only save you but also kill you!” Jonathan gritted his teeth, but before he could respond, Ashton suddenly aimed her gun at the back of Emmanuel’s head.

The room instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Ashton sneered, “Emmanuel, finally let it slip, didn’t you? Your target for poisoning was indeed to kill Jonathan. Otherwise, why would you save everyone else but him just now? If I hadn’t arrived in time, you probably would have let him die from poisoning, right?” Gasp! The crowd gasped in shock again. The captain’s speculation wasn’t entirely impossible.

However, Emmanuel wasn’t afraid despite knowing Ashton would actually shoot him. He looked back at her and suddenly smiled. “Your imagination is impressive, Captain Summerton. Unfortunately, I don’t think being the captain of the A team suits you well. Why not consider becoming a suspense novelist?” “You rascal, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?” Click.

Ashton angrily released the safety on her gun.

“Summerton, stop your nonsense! Put the gun down now!” Juan shouted in anger at once.

Her two subordinates, too, rushed over to intervene.

Regardless, Emmanuel remained unfazed. “Captain Summerton, I suggest you get your mental health checked.” “What?!” Ashton hadn’t actually intended to fire her gun. However, the man kept challenging her patience with his life.

It wasn’t an insult. Emmanuel calmly explained, “Your quick temper and easily getting angry are signs of excessive stress. Your excessive self-esteem and inability to handle stress or accept unwanted truths are indications of a serious psychological disorder. I advise you to seek medical attention as soon as possible.” “Ah! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 720-Ashton nearly went insane at Emmanuel’s comment.

“Stop!” At the critical moment, Juan shielded Emmanuel with his own body.

“Mr. Gomez!” She finally calmed down when she looked at Juan in surprise.

She couldn’t understand why all the people she respected so much respected Emmanuel.

First, it was Finlay. Now, it was Juan.

Why?

Juan pressed down on her gun-holding hand and scolded, “Is this how you handle cases? Don’t disgrace your father!” His words hit her sore spot.

to her father.

She handled every case well in the past, which was why she was promoted to the rank of Level 3 Inspector at the young age of 24.

However, she had been bullied ever since meeting Emmanuel. Her vessels felt like they would burst in anger at any moment.

I hate him so much!

While Ashton was entangled with Emmanuel, Jonathan got up and ran away.

Everyone was stunned because he was on the brink of death just a moment ago. Yet, he could run as fast as lightning!

One shouldn’t underestimate a debtor. Not even an athlete could catch up with Jonathan.

“Hey!” Emmanuel wanted to stop him, but Ashton blocked him and wouldn’t let him 1.

“Emmanuel Lowe, don’t think about sneaking away. I think you’re the biggest suspect in this case. Come back with me for further investigation.” ו “Sorry, I’m busy.” He showed no courtesy at all because he felt that she was doing it on purpose to tick him off. “If you really want to solve the case, show some respect. Maybe I can give you some key information then. If you insist on handling the case by involving your personal feelings, I’m afraid I don’t have time to spare for you.” “You!” Her face turned crimson.

“Alright, Ash, calm down. I guarantee with my life that Emmanuel is not the poisoner! Stop making a fuss!” Juan gave another cold shout.

She clenched her fists and snorted coldly before heading to the crime scene first.

At this time, Rhea and Tia also came out of the private lounge.

Emmanuel wanted to leave to avoid Ashton’s antics, so he decided to take the Gomez family home.

Tia’s blind date was ruined because Jonathan ran away to avoid his debts.

She was very grateful to Emmanuel. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have a clue about how to deal with her mother.

Emmanuel and the Gomez family got into the Maserati and left. Tia stood still, unable to take her eyes off them for a long time. novelbin “Tia, if you really don’t want to get married, just be Emmanuel’s mistress.” As soon as Marianne finished, Tia was shocked. “Mom, w-what are you talking about? I do like Emmanuel, but I’m not the kind of woman with a twisted sense of right and wrong. How could I be a homewrecker? Besides, even if I’m willing to do so, Emmanuel might not think the same.” Marianne agreed with her daughter. Although she liked money, she was just speaking off the cuff.

What kind of mother would advise her daughter to be a mistress?

“If only Emmanuel had brothers.” Marianne sighed again.

Tia flinched because she was aware that Emmanuel had a brother. On top of that, his brother seemed to like her.

Tia’s mind was a mess for a moment. Could she really marry his ugly brother just because she liked Emmanuel?

This is absurd!
