Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 1369

Chapter 1369 An Invitation to Dinner

His gaze immediately felt on Zaiden.

Zaiden dared not meet his eyes as he felt a surge of anxiety. If this matter were to come to light and be confirmed, he would be disgraced. He would possibly lose his position as vice president.

He couldn’t fathom how Stanley had managed to obtain the application form from the Quillen family. Since it was now in Stanley’s possession, Stanley must have been aware of its contents, right?

Stanley cast a brief glance at Zaiden but opted not to confront him then and there.

Firstly, he didn’t want to disrupt the ongoing meeting. Secondly, he shared a certain camaraderie with Zaiden and knew him to be someone who wouldn’t misuse his authority. So why was he acting so confused this time?

He wanted to afford Zaiden a chance both publicly and privately.

Thankfully, Aidan was seated among the non-chamber of commerce members, so their altercation went unnoticed by the chamber members. All eyes were fixed on the representative from the Quillen family from Yeringham.

This representative was truly striking!

Mackenzie was well-prepared. Her vigor, intellect, and the Quillen family’s influence were acknowledged by most chamber representatives. With Stanley’s initial backing, others also voiced their support for the Quillen family’s inclusion in the Nuthana chamber of commerce.

With this, the stance of the Summerton family and the Tanner family couldn’t alter the outcome.

“Yay! That’s fantastic!”

Following the meeting’s conclusion, Beatrix leaped up in excitement before embracing Mackenzie’s arm tightly. “I didn’t anticipate everything going so smoothly. I was certain someone would try to impede us!”

She shot a glance at Aidan.

Aidan promptly lowered his gaze and made a swift exit.

Mackenzie also found the turn of events peculiar. Given Aidan and Ewan’s behavior earlier, they must have schemed behind the scenes. But how did things unfold so seamlessly?

Were they out of their minds?

Upon recalling Emmanuel’s reassuring words, she grew even more suspicious!

As they exited the venue, Mackenzie couldn’t resist asking, Did you tamper with something before the meeting commenced?”

“Yes,” Emmanuel replied. He had readied his response as he had anticipating Mackenzie’s astuteness. “Aidan exploited his position to alter the Quillen family’s application to the Witchona Chamber of Commerce. I simply rectified it in secret.”

He wasn’t entirely dishonest; he merely omitted his encounter with President of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce as he feared that Mackenzie would connect the dots and uncover his identity as the man in the wolf mask.

He sensed his facade was becoming harder to maintain.

But bio lavalt.

He wasn’t entirely dishonest; he merely omitted his encounter with President of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce as he feared that Mackenzie would connect the dots and uncover his identity as the man in the wolf mask.

He sensed his facade was becoming harder to maintain.

But his loyalty to the Northern Region and respect for his superiors compelled him to conceal his true self to the best of his ability!

“Is that the truth?”

Mackenzie remained skeptical.

“Absolutely.” Emmanuel affirmed while refraining from adding, “I never deceive you,” out of guilt.

For now, Mackenzie chose to trust him!

However, in the next moment, she noticed a pair of eyes fixed in their direction.

Following the gaze, she realized it belonged to Angela Silverbane, Stanley’s granddaughter.

Angela had initially intended to glance at Emmanuel subconsciously, considering he was the valiant hero who had saved her life. Yet, upon seeing him with Mackenzie, she experienced a mix of emotions.

While she genuinely wished Emmanuel and Mackenzie a blissful union, a twinge of jealousy crept in. How fortunate was Mackenzie to wed such a remarkable hero?

When Mackenzie met Angela’s gaze, Angela exuded confidence and grace, and met it head-on by offering a polite nod in return.

Mackenzie found it peculiar. She didn’t believe she knew this woman, so why was this woman being friendly toward her?

Was it because of the fool next to her?

A woman’s intuition, at times, was alarmingly accurate!

But no matter how precise it was, she couldn’t use it as evidence!

After exchanging nods with Angela, Mackenzie and the others departed.

As for Emmanuel, he never glanced at Angela from beginning to end, in order to prevent Mackenzie from noticing and avoid unnecessary speculation.

However, as the three of them exited the venue and reached the parking area, several men in suits approached them respectfully.

“Ms. Quillen and Mr. Lowe, President Silverbane would like to invite you both to dinner. Would you do us the honor?”

Mackenzie was slightly surprised. Why was the esteemed President of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, a high-ranking figure, showing such respect to her, a mere member of the Quillen family?
