Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 241

Chapter 241

Although Claudette’s legs were starting to numb, she still had some

sensation. Emmanuel was a gynecologist focused on saving her with a clear

gaze, but her face couldn’t help but burn.

“Pfft-” At this moment, he had no other thoughts in his mind other than

detoxifying her. Another mouthful of venom spurted out, gradually reducing

the swelling of her wound.

Fortunately, he treated her just in time. Otherwise, the consequences would

have been unimaginable.

Her lips turned pale, and sweat covered her forehead, but her cheeks were

blushed. She felt extremely embarrassed. Whom would I marry if not Dr.

Lowe? But how could he endure this? Does he feel nothing about my body?

What about when he sees Mackenzie’s body?

Suddenly, she became anxious and felt her heart wrench.

On the other hand, Isaac, alone, couldn’t replace the whereabouts of the two, so

he had to go back and deal with the scene first. Since Claudette was bitten

by the cobra, she’s as good as dead. I will just need to replace a way to ensure

that Emmanuel doesn’t come back alive, and this matter will remain without

evidence. I’m not afraid of an ordinary person like him anyway. What can he

do to me without any evidence?

As the sky darkened, many people playing laser tag had already gone back.

Elizabeth and Beatrix had been waiting at the entrance, but Emmanuel and

Claudette were nowhere to be seen. When they tried calling them, no one

answered.

To prevent cheating, the management banned mobile phones inside the

gaming venue, so their phones were currently stored in lockers.

Gradually, Beatrix started to feel anxious and regretful about secretly sending

the video of Emmanuel and Claudette together to Mackenzie. What have I

done? Why did I agree with Grandpa to provoke Mackenzie? What if Manuel

and Claudette don’t come out tonight? What will she do?

At this thought, she decided that they should make a move. “Why don’t we

call the police?”

“Maybe we shouldn’t,” Elizabeth said. She knew Claudette had come for

Emmanuel tonight, and it was a rare opportunity for them to have some

alone time. If we call the police, it will ruin Claudette’s plan. That’s terrible.

“Why call the police? It’s normal for people to stay overnight on this

battlefield. Everyone always comes out safely in the end. Don’t worry. They’re

fine.” Isaac also stopped Beatrix from calling the police. Emmanuel is still

alive. If the police come down here, he may expose us.

After hearing that, Beatrix had no choice but to give up.

”

At 11.00PM, in the Yociam Residence, Mackenzie wanted to lock the door but

hesitated to do so. She knew where Emmanuel had gone tonight and

expected him to come back late, but she didn’t anticipate him not returning

by 11.00PM.

After some thought, she breathed a sigh of relief and decided to call him. You

b*stard! Have you forgotten to come home with Claudette beside you? Am I

less attractive than her?

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.” Beep.

Hearing the call go silent, her already bad mood became worse.

A few minutes later, Beatrix, who was still staying in a hotel near the laser tag

venue, received a call from Mackenzie. “I was just about to call you,

Mackenzie. Manuel and Claudette are missing.”

This news left Mackenzie at a loss, which was unusual. Should I call the

police? The thought crossed her mind, but she didn’t say it out loud.

Beatrix quickly added, “I was thinking of calling the police, but the person in

charge of the venue said that staying overnight while playing this kind of

game is normal. Many men and women take the opportunity to…” Halfway

through speaking, she immediately regretted it and quickly spat out.

Just as she wanted to change her words, Mackenzie coldly interrupted her,

saying, “I get it. I just wanted to see if I needed to wait for him, but I guess not.”

“Things might not be as you think, Mackenzie… Hello, hello?” Beep. Beep.

Beatrix hadn’t finished speaking when Mackenzie hung up the phone,

indicating that she was furious. Oh no, things have gone bad.

At this moment, she didn’t know what to feel. At first, she had various motives

for inviting Emmanuel here. On the surface, she was helping the Lenoir sisters,

but in reality, she was secretly carrying out the mission assigned by Terence,

deliberately making Mackenzie jealous. However, Mackenzie was not only

jealous but also seemed genuinely angry. You can’t blame me, Manuel. I’m

just following orders. It was you who went too far. I can only wish you good

luck.

She knew that once Mackenzie was truly angry, the consequences would be

severe. I wonder if Manuel can handle it.

On the other hand, Mackenzie intended to stop thinking about Emmanuel

and go to sleep. Yet for some reason, she couldn’t fall asleep even though

she had always had regular sleep patterns and good sleep quality.

The next morning, she woke up and suddenly realized that there was no one

to make breakfast for her, and she wasn’t used to it at all.

She called Beatrix and was told that the two people hadn’t been found yet. As

she gritted her teeth, she changed her clothes and decided to drive herself

to the Lenoir Residence. Let’s see if Emmanuel secretly went home with that

woman.

Meanwhile, inside the laser tag venue, the game time had ended, but

Emmanuel and Claudette were still not seen coming out. In the end,

Elizabeth, Beatrix, and the others turned back and got into an argument with

the venue staff, demanding that they immediately replace the two.

However, the staff members, who had received instructions from Isaac,

directly drove them away.

Despite that, Beatrix and Elizabeth stood their ground. They insisted that the

venue staff replace Emmanuel and Claudette, or else they would call the police.

The staff members still refused and even brought out the game regulations,

stating that they were not obligated to replace players.

“Fine, you’re not taking any responsibility, right? We’ll call the police now. Let’s

see who ends up regretting it.” Beatrix, Elizabeth, and the others took out their

phones.

Unexpectedly, a group of tough guys from a martial arts club suddenly

rushed out and knocked their phones out of their hands.

Except for Elizabeth and Beatrix, the other students with ordinary

backgrounds instantly panicked. How could they dare confront these skilled

and ruthless people? Moreover, most of the people present were girls, and

the boys were afraid of getting beaten, so they didn’t dare say anything.

“Listen up. We have all your information registered. If anyone dares to meddle

and call the police, I guarantee that all of you will meet a bloody end!” A tall

and muscular man with an intimidating appearance pointed at them and

threatened loudly.

His name was Leonard Dalton, a good friend of Isaac’s older brother and the

muscle behind the scenes at the Lane family’s businesses. With a strong

physique and a menacing face, he was extremely frightening. Normally,

when the Lane brothers got into trouble, they often had him step in to deal

with and intimidate the other party, which always worked. So now, with Isaac

feeling guilty, he had brought him out to help solve the problem.
