Love at the Wrong Table - Season 5 Episode 85

Mackenzie, engrossed in handling some matters on her phone, was caught

off guard by the sudden jolt, leaving her slightly disheveled. Hastily, she tidied

her hair and glanced up.

She knew Emmanuel was a skilled driver and wouldn’t brake so suddenly

without reason. However, it was early in the morning, so what could be

obstructing their path at the residential area entrance?

As her gaze lifted, instant comprehension dawned upon her. Her eyebrows

furrowed, and she swiftly rolled down the car window to deliver a stern

reprimand. “Quintus, what kind of crazy stunt are you pulling again? Get lost!”

The strained connection she had with the Lenoir family had intensified her

C

aversion toward Quintus. Why are people from the Lenoir family so annoying?

“Mackenzie, I’m not here to find you today!” Quintus‘ attitude was slightly

different from usual. He abandoned his sycophantic attitude and directly

pointed at Emmanuel, challenging, “Emmanuel, if you’re a man, get out of the

car. I must have a showdown with you today!”

“What a crazy man!” Mackenzie muttered under her breath and firmly

ordered Emmanuel, “Drive into him! I’ll take responsibility for whatever

happens!”

“Um…” Emmanuel was stunned. While he also found Quintus annoying, he

knew he couldn’t behave recklessly and ram into the man.

They were already in deep conflict with the Lenoir family. If they resorted to

such drastic measures, the situation would only escalate.

“If you do not do it, then I will!” Faced with his hesitation, Mackenzie

unexpectedly unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the gas pedal.

“Mackenzie, calm down!” Emmanuel hurriedly attempted to persuade her.

However, with a single glance from her, he shut his mouth and allowed her to

proceed as she pleased.

He didn’t quite grasp the reason behind it. Perhaps it was due to her

commanding presence or the rationality that was reflected in her eyes, but

all he could do was place his trust in his wife.

Mackenzie stepped on the gas pedal, and the Maserati charged toward

Quintus recklessly.

“What the heck? Is she out of her mind?!” Quintus cursed angrily and swiftly

leaped to the side, attempting to dodge the car.

He had thought himself formidable, but it turned out he was no match for

Mackenzie, who fearlessly dared to crash into him.

After the Maserati sped out of the residential area, Mackenzie composed

herself and calmly settled back into the passenger seat, looking as if nothing

had happened.

Emmanuel couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. When it came to

ruthlessness, he had to admire his wife.

“Whether it’s General Lenoir or anyone else from the Lenoir family, they’re all

bark and no bite! I don’t believe they would dare to do anything to us. As long

as we’re in the right, we shouldn’t be afraid of them!” Mackenzie suddenly

advised Emmanuel.

He let out a long sigh upon hearing that. While his conscience remained clear

in most matters, the weight of guilt regarding Claudette’s death always

lingered within him.

It could be said that her death was the catalyst for the eruption of conflict

between the Lenoir and Quillen families, and he was the key figure in their

feud.

The one who caused the problem should be the one to solve it. Emmanuel

felt a deep conviction that he had to be the one to resolve the conflict

between the two families.

As Emmanuel arrived at the entrance of Terence Tower, his eyes fell upon the

disheartening sight of various large words painted around by disgruntled

people. The messages predominantly accused the Quillen family of being

murderers who manipulated their wealth to conceal the truth.

An air of panic permeated the uninformed masses, casting a cloud of fear

Over the Terence Group.

Emmanuel’s unease deepened as he took in the scene.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie lightly bit her lip and reassured him, “Emmanuel, don’t

let these trivial matters bother you. I’ll take care of everything!”

After speaking, she stepped out of the car and whispered, “These are nothing

but childish tricks. The Lenoir family is so immature.”

She held no respect for Adolph.

Despite his high–ranking position in the military in Yeringham, his revenge

tactics amounted to nothing more than just petty tricks. He was completely

lacking the qualities of a great general.
