Love At The Wrong Table

Despite appearing calm, Emmanuel was actually shattered within.

His mind replayed the moments he spent with Mackenzie. It wasn’t a

passionate love, but it was at least warm and joyful.

He wasn’t an emotionless person; on the contrary, he was very sentimental. It

was difficult for him to leave and change his way of life suddenly. He felt very

upset!

Although Jayden was surprised, he, a professional lawyer, wouldn’t speak out

of turn. Once the task was completed, he would leave.

On the other hand, Abellyn suddenly stood before Emmanuel, her demeanor

completely different from earlier. “Aw, have you been dumped, Emmanuel?”

she ridiculed. “Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Are you feeling sad?”

Emmanuel didn’t respond and just stared coldly at the woman.

He had suspected earlier that Ryder’s car accident was definitely a

deliberate murder, but he didn’t want to speak out without evidence for the

time being.

Given the stark contrast in Abellyn’s behavior, he knew she was worried he

would ask Mackenzie for help. However, now that she had learned that he

and Mackenzie were getting a divorce, she began gloating.

“Oh, come on, you can’t get anything from staring at me either, can you? Too

bad I can’t marry you..”

Abellyn actually felt multitudes for Emmanuel.

Firstly, there was fear. She would naturally be afraid of him, for he was tall

and could put up a good fight. Moreover, he was protective of his cousin,

Ryder.

Then, there was affection. Like any other woman, Abellyn had a preference

for attractive men. Emmanuel, in both physique and looks, far surpassed her

husband. Thus, she sometimes subconsciously made him the main

character when she had naughty dreams.

As such, she didn’t really act but rather revealed her lewd side when she

attempted to seduce Emmanuel earlier. However, due to their respective

positions, her dislike for Emmanuel outweighed her admiration, especially

since he didn’t respond to her advances just now. It made her hate him even

more, and she held him in even greater contempt. His poverty, in her mind,

was magnified infinitely, which was why she now deliberately came to strike

back at him.

“I wouldn’t be so smug if I were you, Abellyn. I’ll get to the bottom of Ryder’s

car accident, and if I find out you had anything to do with it, I’ll make sure you

end up in jail!” Emmanuel warned coldly.

The young woman was taken aback, but she quickly taunted, “Oh, my, I’m sa

scared! Please have mercy on me!”

Revulsion and disdain surged within Emmanuel as he looked at her

provocative posture. He didn’t say another word to her and simply walked

away.

“Huh…”

Abellyn was a woman with low education, lacking in sophistication, and

unable to hide her emotions and secrets. Just seeing Emmanuel displeased

was enough to satisfy her.

Serves you right for helping Ryder bully me!

After returning to Chloe’s house, Abellyn related the events in the hospital to

her.

“What? You’re saying Emmanuel’s wife dumped him?” Chloe, upon hearing it,

immediately felt relieved. “That’s great! We have nothing to fear now!”

She wasn’t actually afraid of Emmanuel, but Mackenzie.

After all, Mackenzie had put immense pressure on them the last time. They

were clearly not on the same level as Mackenzie.

“You can say that again! That man even swore to uncover the truth and send

me to jail. I mocked him mercilessly in response!” Abellyn also wanted to Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

share the thrilling news with her sister.

However, when Chloe heard it, she furrowed her brows. “Abellyn, you idiot! Do

you not realize you have indirectly confessed your crimes? Emmanuel might

not have wanted to dig into the matter, but now that you’ve provoked him, he

might fight us to the end!”

After being reprimanded, Abellyn, like a misbehaved child, asked, “What do

*

we do now, Chloe? Emmanuel shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble without

Mackenzie’s aid, right?”

Even though Chloe thought so too, she still cautioned, “In any case, don’t

provoke him anymore. Let’s wait until this matter blows over!”

Abellyn agreed with the approach and didn’t worry too much, but little did the

sisters know that Mackenzie wasn’t the only rich and beautiful woman

Emmanuel was involved with.
