Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 576
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 576
âLetâs see what happens when the time comes, Mom. If worse comes to
worst, weâll just stop by briefly to drop off a wedding gift.â That was the
simplest solution Emmanuel could think of. Even though he was no longer
poor, he had no desire to interact with the Zimmerman family due to how
repulsive they were.
âOh⦠Okay.â Instead of thinking about it, Alessandra put it out of her mind. All
she wanted to do now was find Ryder a new wife, so she immediately
contacted a matchmaker.
Meanwhile, he returned to decorating the house with Roselynn until the
afternoon. During that time, they chatted about her relationship with Jaxton.
All she ended up saying was that she would divorce Jaxton after the
festivities were over. Despite her desire to alleviate their motherâs anxiety, she
decided not to marry any guy who showed interest in her.
Nonetheless, Emmanuel supported that decision because he did not think
Jaxton was a man his sister could rely on for the rest of her life. She deserved
a better choice since she was still young and had not lost too much to that
man.
Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by a commotion outside the
door.
âIs Emmanuel home?â someone called out.
After hearing this, he and his sister hurried out the door.
What they saw shocked Roselynn as there was a Lamborghini and a
Mercedes Benz parked right outside. The Lamborghini was driven by a
wealthy woman seemingly in her thirties, but it was unclear what her actual
age was.
âAunt Samantha?â Emmanuel instantly recognized the Lamborghiniâs driver
as Mackenzie had shown him photos of the important members of her family
so that he would not be confused when meeting her family due to his face
blindness.
Unbeknownst to Samantha, he never forgot anything he saw, so there was
no way he would ever be mistaken. âYour physiqueâs very nice. Your face isnât
that bad either,â she commented with a chuckle. Then, she licked her lips
avariciously and snapped her finger, prompting a man and a woman to
emerge from the Mercedes Benz to drag Emmanuel inside the vehicle.
âHey! Aunt Samantha, what is the meaning of this?â Emmanuel was freaking
out because she had said nothing before she did this.
Similarly, Roselynn was shocked by what had happened to her brother. Why
does it look like a case of human trafficking? This woman is attempting to
abduct my brother right before me! What on earth is going on?
âWhy else would I be doing this? Of course, Iâm dressing you up. If you walk
into the Quillen residence dressed like this, people will look down on you!â
Samantha thought of Mackenzie as her own daughter.
In fact, she loved Mackenzie more than she did her own daughter, so she had
to make sure everything was perfect. At first glance, Emmanuel appears
average, but with proper grooming, he would be suitable for attending formal
events.
She had witnessed firsthand the dramatic transformations that major
celebrities underwent before and after their rise to fame, such as how many
wellâknown male celebrities, including Dustin Beauver and Tim Harland, once
looked even worse than Emmanuel. So, she reasoned that Emmanuel, too,
might look different after this transformation.
Meanwhile, Alessandra had finished her phone call, and upon noticing the
commotion outside, she quicklyâstepped out, only to find Roselynn standing
by the door. âWhat happened? Whereâs Manny?â she asked.
Roselynn pointed at the Lamborghini driving away and shrugged. âYouâre too
late, Mom. Manny was snatched away by a middleâaged woman just now.â
âWhat? Snatched?â Alessandra was stunned. Are human traffickers these
days bold enough to kidnap a man like Emmanuel? Should we report this to
the police?
:
After two hours of intensive makeover, Emmanuel finally stepped out of the
changing room of a highâend fashion boutique, looking like a brandânew
person.
âNot bad!â Samantha exclaimed. Then, she examined him thoroughly as
though she were purchasing a farm animal. She even reached out to make a
few minor adjustments to his outfit, but she did not slap his butt. âWith your
body, people would definitely believe that you are the son of some rich and
powerful family,â she mumbled with a small chuckle. Yes, I like it. Mackenzie
would be pleasantly surprised, if not shocked, to see him dressed so well. At
this thought, she couldnât wait to see Mackenzieâs expression when that
happened.
As for Emmanuel, he was completely speechless. Why is Mackenzieâs aunt
such a tyrant? She forced her way regardless of what I wanted. If not for her
relationship with my wife, I would have flipped out by now. Hmm! Mackenzie
also has tyrannical moments, so did she learn that behavior from Aunt
Samantha?
âA call for you, Mr. Lowe!â Samanthaâs assistant walked over to hand himâthe
phone. He had left his belongings in her care while he changed.
Seeing that it was a call from Mackenzie, he hurriedly answered it. Before he
could say anything, his phone was snatched from his grasp.
âWhere are you, Emmanuel?â Mackenzie sounded angry over the phone as he
had not replied to her message.
âHi, Mackenzie! Donât worry. Iâll ensure your man will be on time when he
arrives at the Quillen residence.â There was a proud lilt in Samanthaâs voice.
âAunt Samantha?â Mackenzie instantly understood what had happened the
moment she heard her voice! Her rage subsided, and she said calmly, âDonât
go overboard, Aunt Samantha. Otherwise, he wonât be the same man
anymore.â
The call ended as soon as Mackenzie finished speaking.
What she liked about him was his sincerity and lack of pretentiousness.
Hence, she was worried that Samantha might dress him up so much that he
would blend in with the horde of rich young men instead.
âWell, I certainly did go overboard.â Staring at the numerous luxury branded
accessories and clothing pieces, Samantha wondered if she had dressed
him too well. Still, she did not plan on correcting her own mistake. Thus, she
gestured at him. âLetâs go, my dear sonâinâlaw. Itâs time to head home.â
Then, she moved to pay for the new outfit, but Emmanuel gently grabbed her
wrist.
However, the sales associate stood stock still and watched upon seeing this.
Stunned, Samantha turned to look at him. He has just agreed to everything I
requested, so what is he up to now?
âSince these will now be mine, I should pay, Aunt Samantha.â
âYou?â she gasped. Astonishment was painted all over her face. âDo you know
how much everything costs? Itâs at least six figures. Can you even afford
that?â She didnât mean it in a derogatory way; she was simply telling the
truth.
To Samanthaâs surprise, Emmanuel smiled and replied solemnly, âWhile Iâm
not as capable as Mackenzie, I can still afford to buy my own things. If youâre
that close to her, you wouldnât want others to say that her husbandâs a gold
-digger, right?â
At this moment, his assertions persuaded her. Her initial impression of him
was that he was a rather handsome man who was very nonchalant about
marrying into the Quillen family. That was why he left such a deep impression
on her mind. Now, she could sense a genuine aura around him that was
impossible to ignore. His entire being radiated with a manâs stubborn pride as
if he had never bowed to anyone.
âVery well, then. As you wish,â Samantha conceded.
âThank you for taking the time to help me pick out an outfit.â Emmanuel then
handed his card to the sales associate to pay for the items.
On the other hand, Samantha was pleased with how he thanked her
because he was so courteous.
Unexpectedly, she heard him say, âAlthough I donât like any of it.â
Aargh! She suddenly felt an overwhelming fury swell up her throat. The
instant she heard those words, she knew her sonâinâlaw was not as
charming as expected.
