Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 198
Beatrix returned to the huge mansion of the Quillen family, acting as if she
had performed a great act of service. She went behind her grandfather with
her head held high and massaged his back.
âGrandpa, Iâve finished my work!â
âAre you sure?â
Terence was young at heart, his eyes twinkling as he spoke.
âYes. Manuel agreed to go for a laser tag game with us next Saturday, and
then weâll spend the night out. Tsk, tsk. Such a great opportunity. The Lenoir
sisters will surely pounce on Manuel!â
Beatrixâs eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
She had made a bet with Lexi earlier that Manuel would be kicked out of the
family before the new year. If he isnât careful and the Lenoir sisters get their
hands on him, Mackenzie will surely throw a fit! Hehe! Of course, he canât

blame me for being mean. This is all Grandpaâs idea.
âYes.,I hope the two daughters of the Lenoir family wonât let me down and
work hard to make Mackenzie jealous! Otherwise, she wonât know how much
she likes Emmanuel!â Terence said confidently, looking as though he had a
winning strategy.
âGrandpa, are you sure Mackenzie truly likes that man?â
âAre you doubting your grandpaâs judgment?â
âI wouldnât dare to!â
Beatrix quickly stuck out her tongue.
Over the years, my grandfather molded Terence Group into the leading
enterprise in Yeringham with his brilliant mind and superb awareness of the
bigger picture. Who can compete with him in terms of judgment and
foresight?
Only then did Beatrix realize that her grandfather was not testing Emmanuel,

but Mackenzie.
My goodne
When the time comes, itâll be even more fun!
On Monday, when Emmanuel went to work as usual, Claudette also showed
up âas usual.â
âIs your illness acting up again, Ms. Lenoir?â Emmanuel asked with a frown, a
little surprised to see her.
âThatâs not it, Dr. Lowe. Itâs just that I couldnât sleep well last night and thought
that there may be something wrong with my body, so I want you to have a
look,â Claudette explained as she sat down in front of Emmanuelâs
consultation table.
Frederick, who was watching from the side, was envious of his friendâs
fortune. Heâs already married to a perfect wife, yet, he still has a wealthy
young lady pestering him all the time. Itâs funny that this dude is unaware
that Claudetteâs biggest illness is unrequited love, and heâs still diagnosing
her seriously!

âLet me take your pulse, Ms. Lenoir.â
âAll right.â
With that, Claudette held out her hand to him.
Emmanuel found it amusing. Iâm taking her pulse, not shaking her hand. This
womanâs behavior is so strange!
However, he still calmly pressed her hand on the consultation table and took
her pulse seriously.
âDr. Lowe, is your girlfriend from Terence Group? Is her last name Quillen?â
âUm, yes. Sheâs not my girlfriend, but my wife,â Emmanuel answered with a
nod.
Claudette chuckled. âIt canât be the eldest daughter of the Quillen family,
right? Every man in Yeringham wants to marry her!â
Her purpose for coming was not to see a doctor but to find out whether what
her sister said was true.

âOf course not! Stop teasing me, Ms. Lenoir!â
Emmanuel appeared indifferent and did not seem like he was lying.
Claudetteâs eyes lit up. Looks like he doesnât even know his wifeâs identity!
Hereâs the question. Whatâs the deal about his marriage with Mackenzie?
âMs. Lenoir, thereâs nothing wrong with your body. Youâre just a little weak due
to a lack of rest. Go back, drink more water, and try to balance out work and
rest, and youâll be fine.â
Emmanuel quickly gave Claudette a diagnosis.
