Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 503
At the very next moment, Mackenzie, Sarah, and Alfred walked in as well.
They were all sporting varying expressions!
Mackenzie glared at Felicity before taking Emmanuelâs arm and saying,
âEverythingâs ready. A lot of the relatives are waiting outside. Letâs go. Iâll
introduce you to them.â
Felicityâs eyes were fixed on Emmanuel.
Emmanuel didnât feel like going, so he didnât budge when Mackenzie tried to
pull him out.
âWhat are you doing, Emmanuel?â
Mackenzie was getting angry.
Everyone present knew what her personality was like, especially Alfred.
He had watched her grow up and it was his first time seeing her be this
intimate with a man, and yet, Emmanuel wasnât listening to her.
âI feel a little unwell, Mackenzie. Letâs skip this dinner. Iâm sorry!â Emmanuel
apologized to Mackenzie.
He knew that it would be even harder for him to leave the Quillen family if he
went ahead with this dinner and received the approval of the other members
of the family.
The Lenoir family was bound to cooperate with the Verkade family, and the
two wouldnât stop until they took down the Quillen family!
Although he didnât know what things were like for the Quillen family right now,
he saw how exhausted Mackenzie had been lately. She was even willing to
have a meal with Tobias over a measly 15 million. That alone was enough for
him to hazard a guess as to how bad things were for the Quillen family right
now.
He didnât want to be a burden to his wife. He didnât want to be the reason for
the Quillen familyâs downfall either!
Even though he could offer up the 700 million that he had and think of a way
to help the Quillen family defeat the Lenoir family, Adolph was Claudetteâs
father and Claudette risked her life to save him and Mackenzie. They couldnât
possibly repay their debt of gratitude by taking down the Lenoir family!
Therefore, the only solution was to find a way to overcome this conflict!
âOut with it. Just what do you mean by that?â
Mackenzie swung his hand off in fury and glared at him. No one had ever
seen her look this angry and aggrieved.
âYeah, Manny! Whatâs on your mind right now?â
Terence was anxious as well. Mackenzie and Emmanuel had finally reunited
after everything, so why were they getting into another fight now? Canât an
old man like me have some peace and quiet?
âIs Felicity forcing you to leave? If she is, tell me! Iâll stand up for you!â Terence
pointed at Felicity in fury.
Mackenzie was glaring at Emmanuel too. She didnât think he would be scared
of a woman when he was unafraid of ruthless men like Samuel and Adolph.
Emmanuel glanced at Felicity, who was clenching her fists. Her body was
trembling. It looked as if she had something to say, though she was too
afraid to speak up.
At last, he sighed and said, âGrandpa, Mackenzie, nowâs not the time for me to
have dinner with the family. Claudetteâs situation is still weighing heavily on
the Lenoir family holds against me?â
âWellâ¦â Terence couldnât think of anything to say.
âNot happening!â Mackenzie fired back commandingly. âYouâre going to have
dinner with the family today whether you like it or not!â
If Emmanuel left in this manner, everyone would get the wrong idea by
thinking that the Quillen family was afraid of the Lenoir family.
The respect that the Quillen family commanded in Yeringhamâs business
world would be lost for good.
Alas, Emmanuel couldnât act in accordance with his emotions the way
Mackenzie could. He knew that Felicity was speaking on behalf of the Lenoir
family. She had already laid the cards out on the table. If he stayed with the
Quillen family and became even closer to them now, the Lenoir family would
have the perfect excuse to team up with the Verkade family and go against
the Quillen family. He didnât want that to happen.
In any case, he needed to leave for a while. I have to find Master and save
Claudette!
