Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 600

Chapter 600

Upon hearing Claudette’s words, Emmanuel became even more curious

about the Quillen family’s invention. What exactly had they come up with?

“Back then, I thought that Magnus‘ interest in me was like other men, that it

was because of my looks and my personality… However, I soon realized that

with his status and influence, it was not a difficult task for him to find a

woman who was a hundred times better than me at all!”

“Hence, I deduced that it’s my body that attracted him, and he wants to

marry me so that he can conduct his research!” Claudette continued, “That

night, I assumed that it was your life that he wanted to end as well. However,

as soon as I took the bullet, I finally understood–he predicted that I would

take the bullet for you as a part of his calculations, and I’m the person that he

actually wants to get rid of…”

“He likes to destroy the things he can’t have! He doesn’t want me to belong to

another man, nor did he want other men to conduct research on me. He

knows that you’re the person I like, and it’s a fact that he can’t change. Hence,

my survival is an unbearable humiliation to him, a sharp thorn that digs deep

within his soul.”

Emmanuel’s eyes turned red as he tightened his grip around Claudette’s

hand. With a nod, he swore, “I understand. I will not let him end your life! It’s

because of me that he would think of destroying you; he’s just a lunatic!”

A bitter smile tugged at her lips as she replied, “A lunatic might not be the

best way to describe that man. He’s a monster hiding beneath a human

mask, a wolf in sheep’s skin…

Emmanuel inclined his head with a bitter smile. As he’d expected, Claudette

was the person who understood Magnus the most.

“Since Magnus doesn’t want to let you live, I’ll end his life instead!”

A surge of murderous intent stirred within him once again. Just earlier, he

had gotten swayed by Magnus‘ words, for he said there were no deadly

feuds between them. However, Magnus‘ intent to take Claudette’s life was a

grudge that he could not forgive him for.

“You can’t!” Claudette hurriedly stopped him. “The Zelinsky family holds

immense power, and the only reason why my father is able to become the

general of Yeringham is by relying on them for support! If you murder him,

my father will become mortal enemies with the Zelinsky family, and they will

not stop at anything to eradicate you! I don’t want that to happen…”

“I don’t have a choice!” Emmanuel growled through gritted teeth, “If I don’t

end his life, he will definitely end yours! The women he brought with him are

here to keep an eye on you so that you won’t survive!”

“As long as I continue to fake my death, my existence will still prove to be

valuable.” Claudette explained with a smile, “Although he doesn’t want me to

be your woman, he still wants to have me. Hence, if I never wake up, he might

not destroy me. I understand him the most; he’s dead set on winning!”

Even though Emmanuel believed in her deductions, he still refuted them

bitingly, “He will keep testing you like a madman. What you’re doing is very

dangerous, and you won’t be able to hide the truth from him for long!”

Both of them were well aware of Magnus‘ intelligence, and her plan to

deceive him by feigning her death was completely unrealistic.

“Dr. Lowe, don’t I have you to help me?” Claudette looked at him with eyes

filled with trust. “I know that you’ll definitely beat Magnus, even if it isn’t now…”

Emmanuel fell silent. He was no longer in the Northern Region, nor was he the

Wolf Warrior of the past. Hence, he no longer had the privilege to freely wreak

vengeance and swiftly finish off his enemies like he used to.

However, he was still Emmanuel Lowe, a man with family and friends in

Yeringham. If he rashly took Magnus‘ life, he would most certainly put them

into immeasurable trouble; the suffering that Mackenzie had endured

previously was enough proof of this fact.

“All right, Claudette! I promise to rescue you. Until then, you can relax and

take a nap for a while!”

Although he hadn’t come prepared, as long as he had some time, he would

not leave her defenseless and vulnerable to Magnus like this, even if he had

to kidnap her from the Lenoir residence.

Hearing that, Claudette nodded with a soft smile before she slowly closed

her eyes.

Letting out a sigh, he retrieved two silver needles, which he slowly inserted

into the back of her head until they disappeared from sight. Soon after,

Claudette fell into a death–like slumber once more.

“See you next year…” Emmanuel murmured with an aching heart.
