Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 317
âDr. Lowe, are you okay?â Claudette hurriedly jogged over and supported
Emmanuel.
.
The man was already seriously injured while trying to save Mackenzie, and
after being booted down, the freshly healed wounds reopened.
âIâm okay,â Emmanuel responded, still enduring the pain.
Claudette, however, couldnât take it anymore and reprimanded Mackenzie,
âHow can you treat Emmanuel like that, Ms. Quillen? Heâs badly injured!â
â
Mackenzie originally felt bad for hurting Emmanuel. After all, she was partially
the cause of his injuries. However, when Claudette stepped up for him, she
turned grim and sneered, âGet this straight, Ms. Lenoir. Itâs his fault for not
letting go. Who does he think he is? Serves him right!â
She intentionally threw the harshest words at Emmanuel. That was
Mackenzieâshowing no mercy to her enemies. From the moment Emmanuel
betrayed her, he became her enemy, and she wouldnât be Mackenzie if she
spared him.
Hubert, on the other hand, was in seventh heaven. Did a hillbilly like
Emmanuel think he could actually win Mackenzieâs heart? Reach for the stars,
eh? Well, fall with a splat, I say!
Mackenzie really left, and she forbade anyone from helping Emmanuel and
Claudette.
Emmanuel remained silent the whole time, feeling a sudden discomfort in his
heart. He had never experienced this feeling before.
âWell, you guys are on your own, Ms. Lenoir.â
The rescue team captainâs boss was a member of the Quillen family, and he
was also well aware of Mackenzieâs domineering temperament. He wouldnât
dare defy her commands. All he could do was apologize to Claudette before
leaving.

Claudette wasnât afraid, though. She would be happy to stay there for the
rest of her life if she could be with Emmanuel.
Then again, it was already daylight, and just as Mackenzie and the others left,
the next rescue team arrived to save them.
Terence had been eagerly awaiting good news from Flower Mountain,
wondering if Emmanuel had successfully won over his granddaughter.
Alas, he received bad news soon after that.
âBad news, sir. Ms. Mackenzie has returned!â
âWhat?â Terence shot up from his seat at once and rapped his walking stick
on the floor angrily. âItâs only been three days. What is she doing back so
soon?â
And coming straight back here at that! Did I not tell her to only come back to
the Quillen residence if she brought me a greatâgrandchild?
With that, Terrence stormed out of the living room with Alfred to find
Mackenzie returning home with a layer of frost and the words âstay awayâ on
.her face.
The Quillen familyâs servants trembled in fear, each hiding in a corner upon
meeting Mackenzieâs demeanor. No one dared to approach her.
If one thing remained the same, it would be their deep fear of Mackenzieâs
fury.
âStop right there!â
A furious shout echoed through the space and Mackenzie reluctantly
stopped, but her face remained icy and grim.
âAll of you leave.â
âYes, sir!â
Alfred hurriedly evacuated everyone, bringing silence to the
1000âsquareâfoot living room.
âAre you making nothing of my words?â
âItâs Emmanuel who cheated on me, Grandfather!â Mackenzie interjected. âI
loathe being betrayed, and youâd better believe Iâll divorce him!â
