Love At The Wrong Table

“Mr. Doyle’s mother is a good friend of Ms. Lorelei. Since NôvelDrama.Org content.

he’s questioning the validity of someone’s presence, it’s

naturally my job as the person in charge to sort this

out!” replied Adam.

Adam then added, “Since I’ve never seen this

gentleman before and his clothing seems quite out of

place for a banquet like this, I need him to show me an

invitation!”

Given that it was a reasonable answer, Roselynn could

not refute it.

What do I do?

What’s more, someone suddenly shouted, “His name is

Emmanuel Lowe, and he is a gynecologist. I daresay

that he snuck inside without an invitation!”

Milani had been waiting for this opportunity for a long

time. How could she pass up a chance at revenge?

She really wanted to see Emmanuel being kicked out

in full view. It was going to be satisfying, and it could

allow her to vent her hatred.

“Right! Just look at his outfit! He claims that he

received an invitation to this banquet. I refuse to

believe it!”

As soon as Milani spoke, the women surrounding her

echoed in agreement.

The one thing a banquet like this did not lack were

lapdogs and self–righteous women. They were fond of

using someone’s allegedly lowly status to elevate

themselves.

Right now, Emmanuel was nothing but a lowly

miscreant to them.

“Sir, please show me your invitation now. Otherwise,

you can’t blame us for being rude.”

Adam’s expression had turned grim.

As the banquet manager, Adam could be blamed for

negligence if someone slipped inside amid all this

confusion. If the situation continued to escalate, it was

going to be hard for Adam to explain what happened.

“I don’t have an invitation,” confessed Emmanuel.

Roselynn looked on helplessly because her invitation

did not qualify her to be on the third floor, let alone

bring in a stranger.

This scene caused an uproar.

“Ms. Roselynn, this man is riffraff! He has no business

being with you. Come over to my side!”

An arrogant smile finally made its way to Keegan’s lips.

Keegan was even showing off in front of Roselynn, and

there was nothing to conceal the disdain he had for

Emmanuel in his eyes.

This man is indeed good–looking and skilled, but so

what? He has no identity or status. On top of that, he’s

just scum. What can he use to compete against me?

“This is an outrage! How did you sneak inside without

an invitation?” asked Adam angrily.

If this became an even bigger deal, Adam, the person

in charge, was going to have a hard time explaining

this to his superiors.

Fortunately, this incident had yet to alert the bigwigs

upstairs. Otherwise, it was going to be even harder to

contain.

“Goodness, Emmanuel. What are you going to do this

time?”

Milani was very happy, and there was nothing but

gleeful excitement all over her face.

Emmanuel could not explain. If he spoke the truth,

Roselynn was going to be implicated too. As such, he

chose to remain silent for the time being.

“Why is there such a ruckus? What on earth has

happened?”

Claudette was attending another social event at a

different banquet hall. She had just ascended the third

floor when she realized that a group of people was

gathered in a corner.

She hurried over to take a look and noticed that it was

Emmanuel and Roselynn who were caught in the

middle.

“Emmanuel seems to be in a tight spot. What do I do?”

muttered Claudette.

When she saw so many people deliberately making

things difficult for Emmanuel, Claudette was quite

anxious.

Claudette had a very unique illness back then. She had

seen many female gynecologists but failed to find a

cure. In the end, Emmanuel, a male doctor, was the

one who succeeded in curing her.

A disease of that nature was not going to be cured

after a single visit. To make a complete recovery,

Claudette met Emmanuel many times in secret.

Of course, Claudette had undressed numerous times

in front of Emmanuel too. It was quite embarrassing to

think about.

Back then, she was barely twenty years old.

Since women had a sense of loyalty, Claudette’s heart

vaguely affirmed this man’s character simply because

he had seen her body so many times.

The most important thing was that Emmanuel bore no

ill intent when he examined her. His clear eyes and

serious expression were deeply imprinted into her

mind.

Gradually, Claudette developed a liking for the tall and

handsome Emmanuel, which was different from how

she felt about other men.

Just then, Milani’s voice rang across the room once

more. “Everyone, do be careful. For all we know, he’s a

thief who snuck in to pickpocket us!”

Immediately, everyone present started frantically

checking their valuables for fear of anything missing.

When Roselynn saw this, she began to panic too.

With so many people present, she was worried that

someone was going to announce that they had lost

something. If that happened, Emmanuel was going to

stand no chance of proving his innocence.

Emmanuel furrowed his brows. He didn’t think that

Milani was going to be so vicious.

“Everyone, please accept my apology. I was the one

who brought him in!”

Just then, Claudette finally strode in.

When she showed up, there was another uproar.

Although Claudette was a discreet person, she was still

a scion of the wealthy Lenoir family. There were few

present who did not know her.

Claudette was also a classy beauty who had plenty of

admirers. Many people had mixed feelings when they

saw her sticking up for Emmanuel.

Emmanuel looked over and saw that Claudette was

smiling faintly at him.

It was quite a delicate smile.

Emmanue! immediately responded with a faint smile

of his own.

Just as he was about to be swept away by everyone’s

accusations and insults, this young lady actually stood

up for him, like a small boat going against the current.

Emmanuel was very grateful for her kind gesture.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Lenoir. Although you are a distinguished

guest, you have no right to just invite an outsider!”

“No. She was not the one who invited me!”

Just as Adam was about to make things difficult for

Claudette, Emmanuel stepped in to defend her

instead. “Ms. Lenoir only wanted to help me out of

kindness. This has nothing to do with her.”

Emmanuel was already prepared to be chased out of

the venue and did not want to implicate anyone else.

Claudette sighed helplessly. She did not expect

Emmanuel to say this.

Now, everyone was ganging up on Emmanuel and

treating him like a thief. Even though Claudette had no

right to bring him in, she could at least find a way to

smooth things over. Why did he turn down this kind

gesture of hers?

Does Emmanuel not think of me as a friend?

“Fine. If that’s so, then you admit to sneaking in!”

Adam had already lost his patience, not wanting to

spare a second glance at Emmanuel. “Guards! Drag

this riffraff out of here!”

The crowd who was coldly watching the scene unfold

immediately burst into a flurry of activity.

“Hmph. Imagine being a loser and still having the guts

to sneak into a prestigious event like this. We can’t let

this slide! He needs to be handed over to the police!”

“Indeed! He has disturbed the public order and should

be subjected to administrative detention!”

“Everyone, check and see if your valuables are still

there. There’s only one person to be blamed for this.”

If anything, a lot of the banquet’s attendees merely

came to show off their superiority.

However, this sense of superiority came at the expense

of someone else. They saw how this person, who had

no right to be here, had trespassed on private property

to sneak into this banquet. Given that they had every

right to stay as guests, they felt a sense of

accomplishment. Some even took the time to spread

this on Instagram to act cool.

Now that things have gone to this extent, Claudette

could not do much else to help. She merely looked at

Emmanuel’s lone figure and sighed.
