Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 130
âWelcome to my birthday banquet, Ms. Tanner!â Jonathan promptly greeted
Xylie with his buddies.
Everyone was shocked because Xylie kept a lowâprofile back at university.
Additionally, the only events she attended were organized by the university.
She wouldnât appear at any private gatherings.
Many scions pursued her during her time at university, but she rejected all of
them. Hence, everyone was shocked she was present at Jonathanâs birthday
banquet.
Emmanuel was taken aback, too, and turned to Beatrix. If she knows Xylie is
her senior and not a hostess, why didnât she help me clarify the truth last
time?
In response, Beatrix grinned mischievously at him. I just wanted to watch
Mackenzie getting jealous and angry. Besides, I didnât know what happened
inside, so why would I explain anything? You should be glad I didnât kick you
while you were down!
In the next moment, Xylie turned to Jonathan with a smile. âIâm sorry, but Iâm
not here to attend your birthday banquet. Iâm just here to perform for my
partâtime job.â
It was then everyone else realized what was going on.
Jonathan scoffed instead of continuing to speak with Xylie. As pretty as she
is, her family background is below me, so I donât like her. The person I want is
Beatrix. If I marry her, I can trump the other men in the family with the help of
the Quillen family!
However, he was still angry about embarrassing himself before Beatrix.
Subconsciously, he just wanted to steal back his thunder, which was why he
was feeling conflicted.
Ignoring Jonathan, Xylie moseyed to the stage and smiled coyly at everyone.
The men in the crowd instantly felt as though they had fallen in love.
Even Emmanuel couldnât help but remark, âSheâs beautiful!â Yoel has a good
eye. No wonder he visits the bar every day to glimpse at her.
Suddenly, Beatrix stomped on his foot.
âWhat are you doing, Ms. Beatrix?â Wincing, Emmanuel stepped away from
her. Even if sheâs my superior, she canât just stamp on my toes without
warning!
Pouting, she questioned, âIs Ms. Tanner prettier or your wife?â
Emmanuel was puzzled. What a strange question. I know women can be
competitive, but donât they usually compare themselves with other beautiful
women? Why did she bring up my wife?
âTell me! If you donât, Iâll fire you!â Glaring at Emmanuel, Beatrix secretly used
her phone.
âMy wife, of course!â answered Emmanuel without hesitation. As pretty as
Xylie is, sheâs not as beautiful as Mackenzie! The moment I met her, I knew I
wouldnât encounter another woman more gorgeous than her.
Promptly, Beatrix grinned and sent a video to her sister. I wonder what her
reaction will be.
Mackenzie, who was dealing with company matters on her laptop at home,
received the video.
Upon watching it, a bright smile settled on her expressionless countenance.
âWhy is that dummy stating the obvious? Of course, Iâm the prettiest!â
grumbled Mackenzie proudly.
Expeditiously, a cold expression returned to her face as she surveyed her
surrounding, wondering if anyone spotted her smile. Why do I feel proud
being praised by that dummy?
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Xylie began to sing. Her voice was soothing
and moved everyone to their core.
