Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 299
The rays of morning sunshine were extremely beautiful the next morning. As
the sun rose slowly and a gentle breeze blew, the Flower Mountain bloomed
with various colorfully enchanting flowers that captivated peopleâs hearts.
Following the organizational procedure, both men and women on vacation
awoke early to take in the breathtaking scenery in groups.
Nonetheless, Emmanuel did not pass up the opportunity and invited
Mackenzie.

However, the icy woman unexpectedly resumed her icy demeanor that day
and replied coldly, âIâm not free! Go and coax your little Ms. Lenoir!â Bang! After
saying this, she angrily slammed the door shut.
Emmanuel felt ashamed and bewildered because he couldnât figure out
what he had done wrong this time to make Mackenzie angry. She is so damn
moody! âNever mind, donât go if you donât want to!â However, he had no idea
why his wife was angry again. Why is she pointing the finger at me now when
she was the one who kissed me last night?
âEmmanuel, is Ms. Quillen not going out today?â Claudette had just exited the
room when she witnessed the occurrence and hurriedly approached him.
âDonât worry about her. She has no sense of unity. Letâs go!â After Emmanuel
said that, he hurried downstairs.
She was ecstatic to hear this, but she could tell that he had only said this
because he was upset with Mackenzie and that she was just his backâburner
girl. Luckily, she had her mind in the right place. It is just like what Aunt Laura
had said. So, what if Iâm just his second choice? All that matters is that I still
have a chance to be his main girl!
Afterward, they went downstairs and gathered outside the hotel entrance
together.
In the meantime, Roselynn was momentarily stunned upon seeing the duo.
The boss actually replaced Mackenzie today? This is dangerous! Although
she and Claudette had a good relationship, she knew Mackenzie was her younger brotherâs wife, so she still understood the overall situation well. If my
brother and Claudette continue to be like this, thereâs a chance that his
marriage will fall apart! Yet, it was inconvenient for Roselynn to intervene
because she was an outsider and could only choose to close one eye and
trust that her brother knew what he was doing.
On the other hand, Hubert was also slightly surprised to see that Mackenzie
didnât attend the event today. Never mind. Itâs her choice whether she wants
to come. After all, Iâve won as long as I can eliminate Emmanuel.
Afterward, the group set off together to embark on the dayâs journey. They
took the cable car and enjoyed the sight of flowers covering the mountains
and fields. Soon, they arrived at the most famous bungee jumping cliff in
Flower Mountain. Two people were tied to a rope before they jumped from
the platform together, which left them feeling like they were flying in a
paradise full of flowers. It was both exhilarating and romantic!
Meanwhile, Claudette had heard that many couples settled down after
bungee jumping at this place.
Additionally, many couples confirmed their relationships as boyfriends and
girlfriends after experiencing bungee jumping together. Hence, bungee
jumping on Flower Mountain was known as âJumping into Loveâ!.
At that moment, Jaxton and Roselynn took the lead and jumped first. No one
knew if their screams echoed from the valley below were from fear or
excitement! Anyhow, even those who were just watching were exhilarated.
âMs. Lenoir, since weâre here, why donât we give it a go?â Jonathan was still
persistent as he tried to invite Claudette.
âNo, Iâm scared!â She cut to the chase with her reply as she felt irritated at the
sight of him.
On the other hand, he was not a fool and could tell her response was cold, as
her eyes never left Emmanuel. Emmanuel must die before I stand a chance,
but this man has nine lives! Due to his dissatisfaction and persistence, he
tactlessly announced for everyone to hear, âMs. Lenoir, you donât need to be
afraid! Come and have fun with me. I will protect you with my life!â
Nonetheless, Jonathanâs sincere confession only brought forth a disdainful
smile from Claudette. âIn that case, I wouldnât want to join you. I donât want to
owe you my life!â After saying this, she walked away.
In response, he felt humiliated, and his gaze turned murderous as his love for
her turned into hatred.
At this moment, Hubert happened to walk past behind him when he saw
what happened. He approached Jonathan and gently patted his shoulder,
whispering, âDonât rush. You will get your chance when Emmanuel dies today!â
Jonathan trembled upon hearing this, as he had not anticipated his cousin to
have such a plan up his sleeve. If thatâs the case, I have to cooperate!
Meanwhile, it didnât take long before Roselynn and Jaxton returned. When
everyone heard how exciting the experience was, they became eager to try
bungee jumping for themselves.
âMs. Lenoir, you are one of the organizers. So, youâll need to take the lead!â
âThatâs right! Ms. Lenoir, why donât you give it a try for once?â
âFor those in favor, raise your hand!â
Someone suddenly cheered Claudette on.
She had also guessed that it was the intentional provocation of the Verkade
cousins, but she still refused with a bitter expression. âNo! Iâm scared!â
Bun
However, all these people came with a mission, and they wouldnât give up as
long as Claudette decided to not go bungee jumping.
âThe organizer herself doesnât even want to participate in the game. How
irresponsible!â
âThey are not even being sporting. Letâs just leave!â
Feeling cornered, she didnât know how to deâescalate the situation.
When Jonathan noticed that the time was about right, he appeared again
with a smile hanging on his lips. âThatâs right, Ms. Lenoir! Itâs better to not make
the people angry, eh? So, why not give it a try? I will definitely protect you.â
The rest of the group quickly applauded and cheered.
âAlright then, Iâll give it a go.â Claudette finally agreed.
At her words, the crowd erupted in cheers!
Nonetheless, Jonathan was equally ecstatic because he knew that Hubert
had played a role in convincing Claudette to go bungee jumping with him.
Will Ms. Lenoir fall in love with me after our bungee jump, and she eventually
marries me and becomes a Verkades inâlaw? The thought alone got him
quite excited.
Howeverâ¦
âEmmanuel, can you accompany me? Iâm scared!â
Jonathan turned stiff when she said those words. He had already extended
his hand, but now she was choosing someone else to jump with. This is so
damn embarrassing!
However, Emmanuel found his expression amusing. He didnât think much of
Jonathan because, in his mind, Jonathan was a sc*mbag who easily fell for
women. Hence, Emmanuel reluctantly nodded to help Claudette out of the
situation.
On the other hand, Hubert had a completely different expression. This was
the result he wanted. Goodbye, Emmanuel! Iâll take care of Mackenzie for you
after youâre gone. Hahaha!
While the two of them were getting their ropes tied, Hubert secretly called
Gautier. Hubert had arranged for everyone to come here for a fun outing
because the Verkades had shares of this scenic spot. Moreover, he could put
anything to happen with a word from Gautier.
âAre you both ready?â
Soon, the employees tied the rope for Emmanuel and Claudette and
confirmed with them.

âUh-huhâ¦â She nervously nodded and hugged Emmanuel for dear life as she
pressed her delicate body against him. This is such an amazing feeling! As
she looked at his chiseled face, her eyes sparkled while it felt like a jolt of
electricity was coursing through her body. Every moment from now on will be
a precious memory for me!
