Love At The Wrong Table

Hubert had always admired his older brother from a young age, so when he

received a phone call from Gautier, he quickly followed his instructions.

Little did he expect that, based on Gautier’s directions, he would actually find

Mackenzie!

Not only that, but the girl he had been pursuing for years was alone, looking

very weak, and only wearing a tight–fitting tank top. For some reason, she This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

didn’t have a coat.

Hubert’s eyes lit up at once. Gautier has never failed me! he mused.

“Mackenzie, are you okay?” Hubert hurried over in a nervous manner, wanting

to help Mackenzie and play the hero.

However, Mackenzie didn’t appreciate it. Just one icy glance made him

freeze, and his limbs stiffened.

He was the epitome of having lustful thoughts but lacking courage.

He had always dreamed of embracing Mackenzie’s beauty, but when given a

chance, he couldn’t make use of it.

Fortunately, Gautier had taught him a second move over the phone–to drive

a wedge in between her marriage with Emmanuel.

He had to eliminate his rival in love, which was his biggest obstacle to

pursuing Mackenzie.

“I swear, Mackenzie, Emmanuel is a d*ckhead. He abandoned you to save

Claudette. If it were me, I wouldn’t have done that. I would have come down

to save you-”

However, before he could finish his words, Mackenzie’s cold gaze fell upon

him, cutting through him like a cold blade.

“How do you know about all this?” Her eyes were filled with hostility.

She had already suspected that the Verkade family was behind the

assassination to get back at her for the business deal. Now, Hubert’s words

were practically an admission of guilt.

“I, um, well…” Hubert explained in a panic, “Everyone saw Emmanuel falling

while trying to save Claudette! That b*stard wants the best of both worlds

while I only have feelings for you. I won’t spare a glance at any other woman!”

It was originally a good opportunity to confess his feelings and highlight his

devotion through comparison. Unfortunately, Mackenzie didn’t care at all and

turned her face away. “Whether you like me or not, it’s none of my concern.”

Uh? Hubert was suddenly stunned. Well, this is awkward…

He grew angry from the humiliation and wanted to take Mackenzie right

there and then. After all, this was a desolate–no, no, what if he couldn’t

defeat her? That would be absolutely mortifying!

“By the way, where’s Emmanuel?” Hubert continued to ask, following Gautier’s

instructions.

As expected, Mackenzie turned angry, and she snapped at him, “Haven’t you

already said it just now? Why state the obvious?”

“I… I was talking about before, when he fell with Claudette. I don’t know what

happened after that…”

“Get lost!” Mackenzie was no longer interested in talking to him and drove

away the lapdog as usual.

She genuinely looked down upon Hubert, considering him a coward and a

loser. If he dared to do anything to her, she might have still considered him a

man despite still giving him a good beating. But now, she couldn’t even be

bothered to do it, for the lapdog was unworthy of it.

Hubert was extremely anxious and felt utterly useless.

Gautier had told him to either defile Mackenzie or play the hero and save her,

but in the end, he wasn’t able to accomplish either.

Alas, he was even worse than a coward! But little did he know, he had

actually succeeded!

Mackenzie was secretly gritting her teeth, burning with anger.

Emmanuel Lowe, how dare you disregard your wife to save Claudette? Am I

nothing compared to your lover? Could it be that Claudette has already

given him that kind of happiness while I haven’t? So, when faced with a

critical moment, Emmanuel naturally made the choice to save her instead?

“Hmph, men really are untrustworthy!” Mackenzie clenched her teeth,

realizing that the marriage could no longer be sustained. She wouldn’t

tolerate her husband’s infidelity!

Meanwhile, the sky was gradually getting brighter.
