Love At The Wrong Table

Mackenzie's maneuvering left Ellie struggling to respond. Seeing her silence,
Mackenzie smiled again. "You're truly a loyalty and righteousness girl. Yosef should consider himself lucky to have you as a friend. If possible, I'd like to be your friend too!"
"I won't be friends with you," Ellie responded instinctively. "You're Yosef's enemies and, therefore, my enemies too!"
"Just because Queenie Banner died intentionally at Emmanuel's hands, Yosef sees him as an enemy, and you see us as enemies, too?" Mackenzie began another assault, forcefully questioning.
"That's right!" Ellie pressed her lips tightly together, then accused agitatedly, "Why is it that Emmanuel can get away with murder, claiming self-defense, but you all insist on sending Yosef to jail for accidentally killing someone?"
"Ellie, you're literate, right?" Mackenzie thought Ellie's rebuke sounded rather ridiculous.
"Emmanuel acted in self-defense. Banner, along with others, came to kill him. He defended himself, and Banner happened to throw herself at him. Yosef, on the other hand, committed manslaughter by accident. The nature of the two incidents is completely different!"
"I don't care!" Ellie covered her ears. "Justice and evil are just about power. If you want to ruin Yosef, I'll destroy you!"
Mackenzie didn't continue to argue with her but followed her lead. "So, someone paid you to pretend to be radiation victims of Hadley Factory to destroy our Terence Group?"
Ellie quickly shut her mouth, refusing to speak further.
Mackenzie continued, "Whether you speak or not doesn't matter. So many people choose to believe us; I'm sure they can tell me the truth. I'm talking to you to resolve our grievances. I don't want to send you to prison because you've only been deceived by bad people!"
Ellie persisted, "Yosef isn't a bad person, and neither are those who help him! You are the bad ones!"
Mackenzie had already gleaned the truth from her mouth, so there was no need to continue. She just felt sorry. This girl was innocent and, at such a tender age, had been manipulated by malicious individuals.
Just then, Lexi approached her, urgently saying, "Ms. Quillen, there are many journalists outside. What should we do?"
Mackenzie stopped talking to Ellie, glanced at Emmanuel, who was still treating patients, and sighed softly, "Let them in!"
This moment was bound to come sooner or later, anyway. They had won the race against time and now had nothing to fear.
Soon, a group of well-equipped journalists arrived outside the ward.
"D*mn it!" Frederick cursed when he saw the large group. "We were blocked from
entering yesterday, and now they're letting journalists in so easily?!"
Shane echoed. "I refuse to believe this isn't deliberately arranged! It's all
meticulously planned to destroy us!"
Mackenzie didn't comment but turned to Emmanuel. "There's one patient left. Go
treat her, and Lexi and I will handle these journalists!"
"Alright." Emmanuel nodded and approached Ellie.

"Stay back! I won't accept treatment from you!" Ellie looked at Emmanuel, her filled eyes with more hatred than when she faced Mackenzie. It was this demon who had killed Visit Novelxo.org to read the latest

With just one sentence, Emmanuel crumbled Ellie's defenses again. Yet, the young woman remained defiant, even prepared for Emmanuel to force his treatment on her or ridicule her for not being a victim of radiation sickness, but Emmanuel didn't do anything. He just sat beside her and began telling her Yosef's story. Ellie instantly became interested,
