Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 581
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 581
Many people at the scene did not despise Hugó and the others, but quite a
few looked at Emmanuel with pity and mockery. Poor dude looked like him
could only back down, so what else could he do? He had already consumed
so much alcohol earlier. If he insisted on drinking more, getting drunk would
be a small matter. The genuine concern was that he might end up getting
himself killed!
Emmanuelâs temperament certainly would not allow him to back down in
front of these people. However, Mackenzie quietly pulled him aside, fearing
that he would lose his cool and fall into a trap.
Hubert and his group were all secondâgeneration rich kids, and she knew
that Hugo frequented nightclubs and had been practicing his drinking
capacity for years, so his limits were truly unfathomable. As long as
Emmanuel accepted the challenge, they would surely try to get him drunk to
the point of unconsciousness.
She did not want that!
Seeing the situation, Beatrix thought Emmanuel was too cowardly to accept
the challenge and became anxious. It was his debut in the Quillen family, and
with so many people watching, he would not want to make a fool of himself,
would he?
It would not only make everyone look down on him, but it might also bring
ridicule upon Mackenzie!
Terence, on the other hand, remained calm, with a smile playing at the
corners of his mouth, and had no intention of intervening. Samanthaâs gaze
even carried a hint of excitement. Hmph, to become a member of the Quillen
family, one must either have wisdom or real strength. Itâs not that easy!
âSince everyone is so excited, fine!â Just as everyone thought Emmanuel
would back down or find an excuse, he strode toward Hugo and the others.
âThis idiot thingâ¦â Mackenzie muttered quietly, understanding that he did not
want to embarrass her, which was why she did not continue to stop him.
âAlright, bro. How do you want to do this drinking challenge?â Emmanuel
pretended to be familiar with him as he patted Hubertâs back, almost causing
this dandy to spit out everything he ate yesterday.
Emmanuel knew very well that everything happening tonight was
orchestrated by Hubert.
âScrew you!â Hubert suffered a silent loss and cursed inwardly, Who says
weâre bros? Weâre archenemies who wonât rest until one of us is dead!
âSince the leading man is so enthusiastic today, do you dare to have a
drinking contest with me?â Hugo finally followed the rhythm and challenged
Emmanuel, wearing a disdainful look.
If Emmanuel did not have the courage, he would surely make him feel
embarrassed, making it impossible for him to continue staying by
Mackenzieâs side.
âLetâs do it! Letâs do it!â
The men around Hugo joined in the cheering, and the banquet gradually
became rowdy. Everyone was here to see Mackenzieâs man and see what
outstanding qualities he had. However, Emmanuel did not agree immediately
but asked Hugo, âAre you married?â
âMe?â He was momentarily startled, then burst into laughter. âWho doesnât
know that I, the young master, am a playboy prince? How can I enter the
tomb of love so quickly? Hahaâ¦â
âTurns out youâre still single. That puts my mind at ease!â Emmanuel laughed.
âIf you accidentally drink yourself to death, at least no woman would turn into
a widow tonight!â
After a moment, the whole room erupted into laughter. Many even clapped!
It turned out Mackenzieâs man showed intelligence and wit, being able to
counterattack with sarcastic remarks against those who mocked him.
âNot bad!â Samantha became even more satisfied with Emmanuel.
âHmph. I didnât come here to play word games with you. Letâs get on with it!â
Hugo, who had just been showing off, instantly became furious. He picked up
a bottle from the table and poured it into his mouth as if it were water.
Glug! Only when he slammed the empty bottle on the table that applause
filled the room once again.
âThe king of the nightlife truly lives up to his reputation!â Beatrix began to
worry about her brotherâinâlaw. Can he handle this?
âLeading man, itâs your turn! Do you want me to get you a cup?â Hugo wiped
his mouth, feeling proud. âFor the sake of Ms. Quillen, as long as you can finish
a bottle of strong liquor, I donât care how you do it!â
Emmanuel smiled calmly, choosing not to respond for the time being. He
walked to the front of the table, picked up the empty bottle, and clicked his
tongue. âThis bottle is indeed too big. Can I have a smaller one?â
âHahahaâ¦â
As Hugo burst into laughter, everyone looked at Emmanuel with mockery.
They had thought he had some skill, but they did not expect him to be so
embarrassing..
