Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 242

Chapter 242

Several girls glared at Leonard. Although they were furious, they didn’t dare

speak up. Beatrix was also momentarily at a loss for a good solution and was

thinking about how to counter the other party’s intimidation.

At this moment, Elizabeth suddenly exclaimed in excitement, “Look, isn’t that

Dr. Lowe and Claudette?”

Instantly, Beatrix looked over, her eyes showing astonishment. No wonder

Elizabeth was so excited, and everyone around us was acting so nosy. Why is

Manuel carrying Claudette on his back? Oh my God! If Mackenzie sees this,

who knows how she will react? Seeing that, she didn’t dare continue

provoking Mackenzie as Terence instructed, afraid of the lady’s wrath.

When Isaac and Jonathan saw the two, they were shocked and couldn’t

believe that Emmanuel and Claudette were still alive. Damn it! They slept

together outdoors yesterday. They must have done everything! They felt like

they wasted their efforts in preparing a perfect opportunity for Emmanuel

and even made themselves anxious.

“Alright, everyone is here now. Please leave.” Although Isaac was angry, he

couldn’t do anything to Emmanuel in front of so many people.

Seeing Emmanuel and Claudette, Elizabeth, Beatrix, and the others didn’t

intend to continue causing trouble. They quickly retrieved their phones and

prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Claudette bellowed with all her breath, “No! We were attacked

with real guns yesterday, and someone released a venomous snake to

murder us. I’m not letting this go just like that. I must know the truth and bring

the culprits to justice.” Whoever did this has to face the music!

Although she usually appeared gentle and elegant, when she was truly

angry, her wrath would be terrifying. Someone tried to harm me and Dr. Lowe!

I will never let the person off lightly!

“What? Seriously?”

“Real guns and a venomous snake? Is that for real? T–That’s horrifying.”

The young students turned pale with fear.

Meanwhile, Beatrix and Elizabeth glared at Isaac and Leonard, demanding an

explanation. Isaac felt slightly panicked. Since that was a real incident, he

had no idea how he could argue.

So, he quickly looked at Leonard. Seeing that, Leonard understood

immediately and shouted angrily, “Don’t you dare spread false accusations!

We have been operating this place for many years, and no such thing has

happened before. If that happened, do you think we could still be in business

today? Now, get out! If you continue spreading false accusations, don’t

blame us for being impolite.”

As he spoke, his subordinates also joined in the intimidation. Some even

brandished their weapons, intimidating them.

Silence engulfed the place as all eyes turned toward Claudette. After all, they

were not the ones who witnessed the venomous snake or saw the crime

scene. They only found out through hearsay.

Just then, Emmanuel suggested, “Should we call the police?”

“No need.” Claudette’s expression was completely different from usual, and

she said seriously, “These people wanted to harm you, Dr. Lowe. I will never let

them off.” After she said that, she looked at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth understood the assignment and couldn’t help but shiver when she

handed her phone to Claudette.

As Claudette took the phone, she wasted no time and dialed a number.

At this moment, Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. Things are about to get interesting.

These people have provoked our Princess Claudette. Good luck to all of you.

Emmanuel had never seen Claudette’s capabilities, but he knew she was

Roselynn’s boss and definitely had the means. I wonder what will happen

next.

Leonard, however, remained oblivious to the danger and provocatively

sneered. “Hahaha! Go ahead and call the police if you want. If they can’t replace

any evidence, you’ll be in trouble for tarnishing our place’s reputation with

-false accusations. I’ll make your lives miserable!”

In fact, Isaac had already instructed them to clean up the scene, so any

bullets and snakes had been completely wiped away. If the police came,

they wouldn’t replace anything.

On the other hand, Elizabeth found it amusing. Go ahead and be smug for

now. You will soon understand the true meaning of terror.

“Someone tried to harm me, Aunt Laura. Please tell my dad.” Claudette called

Laura and got straight to the point.

“What? Who dared to harm you? That’s fantastic… Uh… I mean, those

b*stards! I will teach them a lesson. If I don’t beat the crap out of them later,

you can consider me useless.” Laura’s excited scream came through the

phone. She had nothing to do all day except spend money, put on makeup,

and sleep. I finally have something to do today!

Her scream was so loud that Claudette felt extremely embarrassed because

Emmanuel was carrying her, so he definitely heard the sound from the other

end. Sigh, Aunt Laura is just… weird. Claudette hung up the phone after a few

words.

When Leonard heard the call, he couldn’t help but chuckle. I thought she

wanted to call the police, but instead, she called her aunt. Girls nowadays are

so dramatic, always asking for their mothers when something happens. They

never grow up!

Coincidentally, Isaac’s older brother, Matias Lane, called Leonard too.

“Leonard, what’s going on at the battlefield? Did Isaac call you guys for help?”

“Hahaha, it’s nothing. Don’t worry, Mr. Matias. It’s a few students feeling

wronged and asking for their mothers.”

“Asking for their mothers?” Matias was momentarily stunned. Why do I feel

something isn’t right? I feel like I have a vague memory of that phrase, but I

just can’t recall it now. “Well, as long as no one is killed.” He then hung up the

phone.

Initially, he didn’t take it seriously. After all, the Lane family had considerable

influence in Yeringham. As long as no one was killed, it wasn’t a big deal if

Isaac wanted to bully a few students. However, when he recalled the phrase

‘asking for their mothers,‘ he had a foreboding feeling.

“Asking for their mothers?!” He went to the bathroom, and the moment the

toilet was flushed, it suddenly came back to him.

He remembered that years ago, there was a tough guy in their school who

bullied a wealthy girl in his class. That wealthy girl had called her mother, and

in the end, a catastrophic chain of events unfolded.

In short, the horrifying scenes were permanently imprinted in his unconscious

mind. But I don’t think rich girls are into laser tag, though. It doesn’t fit her

demeanor.

However, due to his worries, he called Leonard again.

“Hey, boss, what’s up?”

“Tell me, Leonard. What’s the name of that girl who called her mother?”

“How would I know? Am I supposed to ask for her name every time I see a

beauty? Do you think I’m that kind of lecherous person? Haha!” In fact, it

wasn’t that he didn’t want to hit on Claudette. Rather, given the ongoing

conflict, he couldn’t do so.

“I’m serious. Does she look hot and elegant? Don’t tell me her last name is

Lenoir.”

“Wow, you’re really on top of things. She looks gentle and is indeed smoking

hot. What about her?” At this moment, Leonard also sensed that something

was amiss.

“F*ck! You guys are in deep trouble!” Matias screamed in panic. “Quickly

apologize to her! Remember, kneel down and sincerely apologize; otherwise,

you all will be completely screwed!”
