Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe

Chapter 1890

@61%

Once Emmanuel and his entourage had departed, Owen, visibly trembling

with a mixture of excitement and dread, erupted, “Larry, are you out of your

mind? These people are from the Quillen family! Rumor has it that they were

ruthlessly slaughtered by the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce! By

assisting them, aren’t you brazenly defying the President? You’ll drag our

family into this perilous storm!”

Larry, his demeanor calm and composed, responded, “And what do you

propose? Should we summon the police or alert the President’s agents,

hoping our actions might serve as a token offering?”

To Larry’s astonishment, Owen nodded in agreement, which only fueled

Larry’s frustration further.

“Foolish simpleton! Ignorant fool!” Larry scolded sharply. “If you resort to that,

the police and any help we might call will be too late to save us from

annihilation! Can’t you grasp the gravity of the situation? Emmanuel’s group

is formidable enough to lay waste to an entire city!”

“What?” Owen’s disbelief was palpable, “Larry, have you lost your sanity? Two

or three thousand people can’t possibly destroy a city!”

Larry, exhausted and beyond the point of argument, had resolved to offer his

ald to Emmanuel. With Larry’s assistance, Emmanuel and his wife managed

to navigate their way to the southern states safely by car.

The remaining members of their group, except Rhett–who stayed behind to safeguard Mackenzie–were instructed by Emmanuel to proceed to the base

of the Wolf Warrior Society, where Sage and Eve would ensure their

well–being.

Emmanuel, however, drove directly to the Quillen residence.

“Mackenzie, I’m so frightened,” she whispered, her voice trembling as she sat

in the passenger seat. Her hand pressed lightly against her heart, her entire

body drenched in cold sweat. The fear of what she might encounter was

almost unbearable.

“Mackenzie, perhaps you should rest somewhere else first? I’ll

go and

investigate the situation,” Emmanuel suggested gently, clasping her hand

tightly, attempting to instill some courage within her.

“No. That would only heighten my anxiety. I need to know everything

immediately,” Mackenzie insisted, her resolve unwavering. Despite having a

new phone, she hadn’t reached out to Lexi yet, as she wished to see the

Quillen residence firsthand before seeking more information.

“Mackenzie, do not worry. Everyone will be alright, especially your grandfather.

He is a man of great fortune, Emmanuel reassured her, his voice a mixture of

comfort and genuine belief.

Had old Terence not been favored by fortune, he wouldn’t have risen from

humble beginnings to become the wealthiest man in the southern states.

This time, he and everyone else would surely prevail… right?

The three of them emerged from the car. Mackenzie nearly crumpled at the sight that met her eyes. Fortunately, Emmanuel was there to steady her.

“Why? Who could have done this? Why such cruelty?” she lamented.

Mackenzie, usually a pillar of strength, had endured a year of ceaseless trials.

Now, as a pregnant woman confronting such devastation, she felt on the

brink of her endurance,

“Mackenzie, let us go inside and see what has transpired,” Emmanuel said, his

eyes, fierce and pained, struggling to contain his emotions.

Mackenzie nodded, steeling herself with the resolve that, regardless of the

circumstances, she had to remain strong.

She had Emmanuel and their unborn child to think of. She had to be resilient

for those she cherished. She couldn’t afford to falter.

“Ms. Quillen!”

“Mackenzie!”

In that poignant moment, Lexi emerged from a car parked behind them, hurrying forward with Beatrix close at her heels. The sight of them, amid the

chaos and fear, was like a beacon of hope.

“Lexit”

“Beatrix!”

At the sight of her dear friends, Mackenzie, her condition heavy with

pregnancy, was almost overwhelmed with the urge to rush toward them. The

nows that the Quillen family had been annihilated had left her heartbroken,

convinced that all was lost. But now, seeing Lexi and Beatrix again after

weeks apart felt almost like a dream.

“Mackenzie! Emmanuel! You’re finally back! Waaaah…”

Beatrix dashed into Mackenzie’s arms, burying her head in her sister’s

embrace, her tears flowing freely like a torrent of grief and relief.

“Ms. Beatrix, please be cautious; your sister is pregnant…” Lexi’s voice trembled

with both concern and sorrow, her eyes glistening with tears of her own.

Beatrix looked up, her face streaked with tears, but her anguish was palpable.

“Wah… Mackenzie, I thought you and Emmanuel weren’t coming back. I

thought I’d be left alone, an orphan!”

“Beatrix, please don’t cry. Tell me everything that happened,” Mackenzie said,

her voice steady despite the tumult of emotions swirling within her.

Among the three women, Mackenzie stood as the pillar of strength. While a

woman may be delicate, a mother’s resolve is unshakable. She reminded

herself to remain steadfast, for the sake of her unborn child and to support

her sister in this time of despair.
