Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 100

Chapter 100 “Hey, gorgeous. How about you spend some time with us?”  The ruffian leading the group flaunted his hairy chest with an unbuttoned shirt. His lackeys appeared to be street punks, but their eyes sparkled with uncharacteristic alertness. Emmanuel frowned instantly. He had dealt with true thugs like Samuel and Rat. Naturally, he knew what a true ruffian was like. These people in front of him seemed too tough as if they were putting up an act, with their steady stances and menacing glares. They were not common ruffians but trained fighters! “What do you guys want?” Hubert rushed over, believing that Mackenzie  was a damsel in distress and he was the shining knight in armor to the  rescue. “Hey, don’t be impulsive,” Emmanuel quickly stepped forward to stop Hubert from doing something reckless. However, who could have thought that these muscular ruffians would be beaten till they whimpered by the gentlemanly Hubert, who managed to fight off seven attackers on his own? “Isn’t this too fake?” Emmanuel and Mackenzie both watched the drama unfold before them, their eyes widening in disbelief as they blurted the same words. Emmanuel even wanted to ask how much these men were paid for this performance, as he was also interested in such part–time gigs. “Gautier is so despicable!” Mackenzie remarked icily. Although she was feeling somewhat dizzy, her mind was clear. She immediately figured out who might have conspired such a scene. Gautier claimed he wanted to drive his brother into despair, but he was actually helping Hubert woo her. To her dismay, Mackenzie now knew that the naïve playboy, Hubert, was bound to become even more troublesome.  “Mackenzie, are you all right?”  Hubert was also puzzled by the turn of events as he wondered why these ruffians had been so easily defeated. However, that was beside the point. He had saved the damsel in distress right in front of Mackenzie’s decoy boyfriend, nonetheless. Hubert couldn’t help but think Mackenzie had found a terribly weak decoy  to pull the wool over his eyes. It’s one thing that he drives an electric scooter, but he can’t even put up a fight. I would have been the villain in a typical web novel, as a man  rejected by the female lead. Typically, the decoy boyfriends will show off  their skills in such a situation. And yet, this man has done nothing while I, the villain, save the day.  Indeed, reality was different from novels.

Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 99

Chapter 99 4 Emmanuel was curious. Mackenzie had never requested him to pick her up before. “As your wife, I’m asking you to pick me up. Why are you asking so many questions?” she retorted. Emmanuel was rendered speechless and nodded in agreement. The following evening, Emmanuel arrived on his electric scooter in front of Azure Business Club, still puzzled by the reason Mackenzie had asked him to fetch her. Ever since their signed agreement, this woman had become increasingly inscrutable to him. Is she asking me out on a date?  Emmanuel shook his head quickly to dismiss the thought. What nonsense  am i thinking? How outrageous! Just then, a beauty in business attire emerged from the club. Her white blouse highlighted her well–endowed chest, which even the buttons struggled to constrain. A tight black skirt paired with silver heels flaunted her slender figure without reservation. However, what truly made a man’s heart skip a beat were those taut flesh–colored stockings. The woman was modestly dressed, yet her attire was provocatively captivating. As she staggered slightly, she resembled an enchanting nymph. It was an enthralling sight to behold. Upon recognizing her, Emmanuel quickly dismounted his scooter and  jogged to meet her. To his astonishment, this intoxicated beauty was none other than his wife, the cold and distant CEO of Terence Group. 14 She had a dazed look and an unusual blush on her pretty face. “What’s the matter, Ms. Quillen?” he asked. At the sound of Emmanuel’s voice, Mackenzie seemed to relax a little. “Emmanuel! Hurry up! Take me away!” Hubert had gone mad. The day before, he had set up nine hundred and ninety–nine roses in Terence Group’s headquarters to confess his love for  her. The employees were in an uproar, whispering behind her back, though none dared to discuss it in her presence. Some even started betting on how long it would take Hubert to win her over or get himself killed. Tired of the gossip, Mackenzie had no choice but to call her nemesis, Gautier.

Chapter 98 “Yes, that’s it.” Ryder was reluctant to take more and could only continue lying. “We’ve got more than enough already. You should take these back!” A wry smile crept up Emmanuel’s face as he rubbed his nose. Should he dare to reclaim the gifts, he was certain Mackenzie would not let him off the hook. Hence, he left the items at Ryder’s place and said, “We have many more of these at home, and they’re all gifts others send to my wife daily. It’s beyond tiresome! Ryder, do us a favor and help us clear some out. It’ll do Tommy good to eat more as well.” What? Ryder and his wife were stunned. Is this what it’s like to be royal? While we struggle to afford even a few  supplements, Emmanuel is treating them like trash?  “Well, I must be off!” With that, Emmanuel left the gifts there and left. “Daddy, Uncle Manny is so rich! Mackenzie is so capable, and she’s really pretty too!” Tommy exclaimed. “Yes, your uncle has truly found a good wife,” Ryder said with heartfelt admiration. 2/5  Among the three brothers, Emmanuel was the last to marry. They were worried he wouldn’t find a wife, yet he had ended up with possibly the best woman among them all. However, his praises for Mackenzie had stirred dissatisfaction in Abellyn. She could tolerate her son singing praises for the woman, despite begrudgingly so. Nonetheless, Abellyn found the woman cloying. She’s only two years younger than me. How dare she ask Tommy to call her by her first name? She must be thinking that Aunt Mackenzie makes her sound like an old woman, huh? Upon hearing that her husband was praising Mackenzie, she lashed out at  him. “What’s the matter, Ryder? Are you jealous that Emmanuel has such a  beautiful and rich wife?”  Ryder knew full well that his wife was the jealous sort and quickly explained, “No, not at all! Emmanuel is like my younger brother. I’m just happy that he has found a good wife.” “Happy for him, you say?” Abellyn sneered. “I think you just fancy his wife and think I’m old, useless, and one to spend frivolously, right? Great! If you’re so unsatisfied with me, let’s divorce!” Then, she stormed off to pack her belongings, leaving Ryder stunned. However, he quickly returned to his senses and ran after his wife.

Chapter 97 Fortunately for him, Hubert was another imbecile who knew alarmingly little. Thus, he relaxed his furrowed brow before giving a great guffaw of laughter. “Just as well. I can gift it to Mackenzie!” He was convinced she would be moved by his sincerity in sending a batch of local supplements to her the day before and following up with another batch of overseas products. Thus, his mind was made up. Hubert left once again to procure another bouquet of roses and arrived later that day at the entrance of Yociam Residence to intercept Mackenzie on her way back from work. If he was being honest, he found it strange as well. Why would Mackenzie live here instead of at the Quillen residence? Unfortunately, nobody would tell him the truth, so he contented himself  with the inference that it was closer to her office. A workaholic like  Mackenzie would undoubtedly want to shorten her commute. At that moment, Mackenzie pulled up in her Bentley. “Mr. Verkade is here again, Ms. Quillen!” The driver announced Hubert’s arrival when he found him standing at the door. Mackenzie swept a glance over before ordering coldly, “Don’t stop. Step on it and dash in!” “Yes, Ms. Quillen!” Obeying the order, the driver raced into the residential area. “Mackenzie! Mackenzie!” Hubert called upon catching sight of her. Despite the man screaming himself hoarse, Mackenzie did not spare him so much as a glance. The bodyguard following Mackenzie in the car behind hers leaped out and  stopped him. Mackenzie bolstered her security team ever since her assault that night, making it impossible for anybody to get close to her. ” Helpless, Hubert implored the guard to hand Mackenzie his gift. Later that night, Emmanuel arrived home from his part–time job and saw once again the pile of gifts and the bouquet of roses at the front door. “D*mn. What is going on?” Emmanuel jumped. What the h*ll is this? He had thrown the roses away and had given the gifts to his cousin, yet they have reappeared. Is this a deja vu?

Chapter 96 Ryder had never won an argument against his wife. At last, they came to an agreement to gift Shawn the supplements to offset eighty thousand from her poker debt. Shawn was not even thinking about collecting the debt, so he thought he had no reason to turn her away when she delivered to him herself. Out of curiosity, he asked Abellyn quietly, “Are you related to Ms. Quillen, who was in your uncle’s house the other day?” Ryder was Emmanuel’s elder cousin, but Emmanuel’s father was older than Ryder’s. Even more bizarre, Ryder was younger than Benny. Ryder’s father had fathered him when the former was seventeen. Thus, the difference in age between the two generations of the Lowe family had always been a distinct oddity. “She’s the wife of my cousin–in–law, Emmanuel. What about her? You don’t  have a crush on her, do you? You men are pigs!”  As she chided, Abellyn pinched Shawn on the waist. Though she feared him, she was also trying to seduce him; she thought it would be more worth her time to be with Shawn, the son of a rich man,  than to be with a pauper like Ryder. “I did not! Don’t say that. I would never dare!” Shawn denied vehemently, deathly afraid that the woman was subjecting him to some sort of test. Even a rich man’s son like Shawn did not dare indulge in the fantasy of being with somebody like Mackenzie. Abellyn grew curious at the sight of his panic. “You were joking, right? What women do you not dare court?”  “Watch your mouth, Abellyn! I’m keeping the gifts, and you can consider your debt written off. You’d better get going!”  Shawn sent Abellyn and her husband away, still reeling from the discovery  that the cold CEO of Terence Group had become a married woman. What is going on?  Shawn’s father had business with Verkade Group. He had even developed a long–standing business relationship with them. Thus, he lost no opportunity to curry favor with Hubert, a playboy like himself. He knew very well that Hubert coveted Mackenzie, having heard that Hubert had been relentlessly pursuing Mackenzie. How could she have gotten married?  To get to the bottom of the matter, Shawn hurriedly sought an audience
