Chapter 197
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 197
âOh, itâs not me who wants to borrow him. Itâs my best friend!â Beatrix hurriedly
explained, âDonât get the wrong idea, Mackenzie. Iâm not trying to seduce
Manuel. Even though heâs tall, muscular, and handsome, Iâm not the type to
swoon over men!â
âYouâre not?â
Mackenzie suddenly chuckled. âIs that even possible? Whose room is filled
with posters of handsome men? Who is the person who constantly gushes
about certain male celebrities being domineering, manly, and suitable to be
her husband?â
Pfft!
She exposed Beatrix so hard that the latter gave her a pleading look. âThatâs
enough, Mackenzie. I admit that I swoon over men, but I will never harbor
inappropriate thoughts toward Manuel. I swear!â
With that, Beatrix lifted her hand as if taking an oath.
Only after hearing that did Mackenzie ask, âWhich best friend of yours wants
to borrow that idiot?â
She knew that her cousin had a lot of friends, while she had practically none.
âItâs Elizabeth! And itâs not just her. Many of my friends are eager to meet the
superhero who took on Wolf Warrior Society alone as well!â
Beatrixâs eyes widened and sparkled as she spoke.
I must say, Manuel was so cool that night!
âI canât believe that idiot can gain female fans from a fight!â
Mackenzie was even more determined to forbid him from going out at night
to fight in the future. What will others think of him?
âCan you allow it, Mackenzie? I promised them to take him to a laser tag
game and let him lead us! If you donât agree, itâll make me look bad!â
Beatrix clasped her hands together and pleaded.
Mackenzie rolled her eyes in exasperation. âJust ask him directly. Itâs not as if
youâre taking me there!â
âGosh! As your cousin, do you think Iâm unaware of your standing in your
family? What he says doesnât count!â
Beatrixâs words were like music to Mackenzieâs ears.
Iâm the boss not just at work, but also at home!
âI promise I wonât let Elizabeth and the other girls get their hands on Manuel,
Mackenzie! Iâll bring him home untainted!â
Beatrix quickly vowed, knowing just what her cousin was thinking.
âGo and ask him yourself. Youâre making it seem as if Iâm restricting his
freedom!â
âThanks, Mackenzie!â
With her cousinâs words, Beatrix knew that the matter was settled.
Sure enough, Beatrix invited Emmanuel to the laser tag game next Saturday
using her status in the Quillen family, to which the latter replied that he had
to inform his wife.

Naturally, Mackenzie would not stop him since she had already agreed to it.
Hence, the matter was set in stone.
âGood news, Claudette!â
Elizabeth immediately went to Claudette excitedly after confirming that
Emmanuel would participate in their activity.
âDr. Lowe, my superhero, will be joining us for the laser tag game next
Saturday! Do you want to join us, Claudette? This is a good opportunity!â
Claudette was secretly surprised. I wonder what Elizabeth meant by good
opportunity. Could it be that she knows I like Dr. Lowe?
âYou donât have to hide it anymore, Claudette. Beatrix told me everything. Dr.
Lowe is tall and handsome, and he provides a sense of security: I also like him
very much!â
Chapter 197 Biggest Love Rival
Claudette was even more shocked after hearing her sisterâs words.
âElizabeth, what did Beatrix tell you exactly? Also, doesnât Dr. Lowe have a
girlfriend?â
Claudette felt increasingly uneasy.
Firstly, she was hoping that Emmanuel did not have a girlfriend.

Secondly, she could not believe that her younger sister had become her love
rival.
Elizabeth knew that her sister did not know as much as she did. Itâs because
Beatrix and I are best friends!
âDonât worry about whether Dr. Lowe has a girlfriend now, Claudette. Heâll be
single in half a year anyway. If you donât make a move now, Iâll help you get
him!â
Claudette was rendered speechless.
Never have I ever imagined that my biggest rival in love would be my sister!
