Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Instantly, rage quickened Emmanuel’s blood. I get it now. These guys not only

want to kill me but Claudette too. If that’s the case, I can only treat them as

enemies on a real battlefield.

However, just as he was preparing to fight back, he heard a scream from

Claudette. Oh, sh*t. Did Claudette get shot? He quickly looked down and felt a

chill run down his spine. He was stunned to see there was a cobra deep in

the woods, and it was biting her thigh.

“What should we do now, Mr. Isaac?” Hearing her scream, Isaac’s

subordinates couldn’t help but panic.

They had released that cobra to deal with Emmanuel, but they didn’t expect

it to harm Claudette instead.

Although they didn’t know what was on Isaac’s mind, they knew they couldn’t

bear the consequences if she died here.

“What else? Quickly kill that man!” Isaac ordered without hesitation; he was

determined to kill Emmanuel now and would then savor Claudette’s body

before she died.

This was what happened once an obsession took form. It would make people

become terrifying individuals who would disregard everything.

After he said that, he raised his gun and was about to rush toward Emmanuel

to shoot. However, he didn’t expect that he had underestimated the man in

front of him.

Emmanuel possessed incredible strength and struck the cobra’s vital point in

one punch. Pop! The cobra died on the spot.

This scene startled Isaac and the others, causing them to forget what they

were doing for a moment.

At that time, Emmanuel couldn’t afford to bother with these sc*mbags, as

saving Claudette’s life was the priority now. He threw the dead cobra toward

-the group and immediately carried her, running toward the depths of the

woods.

By the time the group regained their senses, the two had already

disappeared.

“F*ck! Go after them! Don’t let them leave alive!” Isaac realized that things

had escalated. If Claudette managed to survive and reported it to the police,

the Lenoir family’s power was not something the Lane family could contend

with. By then, he would end up in jail for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, Emmanuel’s agility far surpassed their imagination. They

pursued the two into the jungle, but there was no trace of them.

“What the hell! Who is he, anyway?! How can he be so incredibly skilled?” All of

the men working here were trained and had agility beyond what an average

person would have. However, they had to admit they were not on the same

level as Emmanuel. His skills were those of a retired Special Forces soldier,

and he might even be the best among soldiers.

“Split up and search for them! They must be dead! Understand?!” Isaac

ordered again.

However, his subordinates were just here for work. They would take risks to

injure Emmanuel for money since Isaac would take the blame in case things

had gone awry. Yet, they hesitated when it came to killing Claudette. They

knew her background to some extent, so when they heard she was to be

killed, they pretended to search for the two. Once the opportunity to escape

presented itself, they would take it and run for their lives.

Even Jonathan refused to participate. Why should I risk my life for this? That’s

not my crush that Emmanuel stole, anyway. Isaac is the mastermind behind

today’s events. I didn’t even fire a single shot, and Claudette getting bitten by

a snake had nothing to do with me. I should stay out of this.

Only Isaac was unaware that everyone else had betrayed him, and he

foolishly went alone to chase after the two.

At this moment, Emmanuel carried Claudette to the side of a stream. Not

only was the spot secluded, but it also had flowing water there, making it the

perfect place to save her.

“Claudette, the cobra’s venom is highly toxic. I must help you detoxify now.”

After saying that, he didn’t have time to think much and took off her pants

directly.

With that, a pair of perfectly sculpted, beautiful legs appeared before his

eyes again. The delicate skin of a lady from a wealthy family was different

from that of an ordinary girl, for it seemed fragile to the touch. Any man in the

world would replace it hard to resist such temptation!

However, he was a gynecologist who had treated her many times before, so

he was very familiar with her body and felt nothing at all.

The next moment, he directly pressed his mouth against her thigh, intending

to suck out the venom for her.
