Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1713
Emmanuel didn’t want to entertain Quintus‘ bullsh*t, but he knew the blockhead would certainly help him.
“Emmanuel, I admire your ambition!” Sunny toasted with him and said, “But such matters require careful planning, or you could
easily lose your life.
Forgive me for not agreeing to your plan for now.”
Emmanuel felt a bit disappointed. If even the Solar Group wouldn’t stand by him, recruiting those with deadened eyes or sinister
