Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 33
“Mr. Doyle’s mother is a good friend of Ms. Lorelei. Since
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.
