Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 487
With his resolute sense of justice, even his words sounded convincing.
The people around him couldnât help the hitching of their breaths as they
exchanged discreet glances.
They never expected that the person who killed Adolphâs second son could
remain so calm and composed in the face of Adolphâs oppressive presence!
Truth was, Adolph had come to respect the young man before him.
This was the first time he had truly interacted with Emmanuel; previously, he
thought Emmanuel was a cowardly and timid pretty boy who only hid behind
Mackenzie and groveled at her feet. However, Emmanuel had come alone
today and had displayed such courage. He had truly changed Adolphâs
opinion of him.
âHaha!â Adolph suddenly burst out laughing before he lowered his head and
fixed his gaze on Emmanuel like a hawk. âThose are just your oneâsided
words. What evidence do you have?â
If Emmanuel was telling the truth, there was indeed no reason for the Lenoir
family to target him and the Quillens. But what if it was all a lie?
As the head of the Lenoir family, Adolph had no reason to let this person in
front of him who killed his son and daughter go.
âFor the matter concerning Claudette, you can get Magnus to confront me.
As for Tobias, you can ask Mr. John about what happened. He knows the
truth!â Emmanuel firmly insisted.
Even Adolph wouldnât be able to bring Magnus to the Lenoir family if the latter
didnât want to come.
He turned his gaze to Felix, who quickly lowered his head.
âI swear I donât know what Mr. Lenoir did to Ms. Quillen, but I can confirm that
Emmanuel Lowe was the one who killed Mr. Lenoir!â
He wasnât biased toward Tobias; he was just stating the facts.
Elizabeth was extremely worried. She knew that her father would definitely
not let Emmanuel off the hook after Felix said that.
On the contrary, Emmanuel remained calm as he had expected Felix to say
that.
âEmmanuel Lowe, Iâll ask you againâdo you have any evidence to support
your claim that Tobias wanted to force himself on Mackenzie?â Adolph
threateningly asked with a grim expression.
âThe evidence is in the police station. Didnât they already define the case?â
Emmanuel immediately answered without feeling intimidated.
âUnfortunately for you, I donât believe it!â Adolph snorted coldly. âThatâs just
your and Mackenzieâs colluded testimony and the result of that old man
Terenceâs manipulation from behind the scenes!â
âIn that case, I have nothing more to say.â
Emmanuel was determined to clarify the facts, but he couldnât do anything if
Adolph remained biased and unyielding.
âHaha! Emmanuel, did you come here prepared to meet your death?â Adolph
suddenly laughed. âBut even if I were to kill you like this, you wouldnât accept it,
and I wouldnât gain the support of others. How about we do this? Felix!â
Felix was slightly taken aback upon hearing Adolph calling him, but he still
respectfully bowed and responded, âYes, General Lenoir.â
âDidnât Tobiasâ mother entrust you with the task of taking good care of
Tobias?â Adolph asked.
âYes, sir!â Felix affirmed while he inwardly sighed.
âIn that case, regardless of the truth, Tobiasâ killer is right in front of us. We
cannot legally punish him, and it would be difficult for me to kill him without a
justifiable reason. I want you, my loyal servant, to avenge Tobias!â
As a military leader, Adolph couldnât afford to be criticized or have his actions
questioned. Thus, he sought a legitimate pretext to kill Emmanuel.
âI understand!â Felix sighed and stepped forward. He didnât want to go all out
with Emmanuel, but he had no other choice.
Adolph turned to Emmanuel and announced, âEmmanuel, I donât care if what
you say is true or false. I wonât continue looking into Tobiasâ death as long as
you can defeat Felix. However, if you lose and end up dead, you should know
that you only have yourself to blame!â
