Love at the Wrong Table - Season 7 Episode 42

Mackenzie deviated from her usual behavior and started punching and

kicking Emmanuel. The more she battered him, the faster her heart pounded,

and the strange feeling inside her grew.

Alas, the man who could defeat the Snake Master in a matter of seconds was

now being unilaterally beaten by his wife without daring to fight back.

“What are you still standing here for?!” Mackenzie, tired from battering

Emmanuel, was now asking him to go back with her.

“Oh, okay!” Things were finally looking up for Emmanuel, and he held

Mackenzie’s hand tightly, not letting go.

The sweetness of love made him happy.

“Blegh, love…” The assassin in red carried her limping brother on her back in

the far distance behind the couple. A hint of a smile appeared on her lips as

she looked at the couple’s leaving figures while her heart bled.

She had sworn to marry that man. However, he was already taken, and he

also loved his wife dearly.

What should she do?

After everyone left, Sarah gradually emerged from behind a large tree.

“Emmanuel sure is impressive. Not even the Snake Master can defeat him…”

she muttered under her breath as she picked up a clump of blood–stained

snow from the ground.

The day after Emmanuel and his family returned to Hero’s Village, his

relatives came to visit them.

“Emmanuel, where’s your wife? Why haven’t we seen her?” Jack, never once

considering if his wife would be jealous, pressed Emmanuel for answers as

soon as he arrived, asking him where Mackenzie was and if she would be

around that day.

Benny was the same. He and his son visited Emmanuel solely for Mackenzie.

They, too, used to reside in Hero’s Village before moving away later. They had

heard about how Emmanuel’s wife gave out over 500 cash envelopes, each

containing 2,000 to the villagers the day before.

That would be over a million, for heaven’s sake! With that kind of wealth, he’d

be a Dutchman if Emmanuel’s wife wasn’t from a wealthy and prestigious

family!

They had already figured out that Mackenzie was the lady of the Quillen

family; they just needed solid verification..

“Mackenzie has other things to attend to today, so she won’t be coming,” said

Emmanuel plainly before pulling out several cash envelopes and giving one

to each relative in the house.

Upon opening the envelopes, they were surprised to find that all of them

contained 5,000 bucks!

“Manny, when… when did you strike gold?”

Benny and his family, who was relatively well–off, were merely surprised,

while Ryder trembled emotionally, for the money was close to his monthly

income.

Since he and Tommy each received an envelope, their total came up to

10,000, which meant they didn’t have to worry about their living expenses for

the next few months.

“They’re from Mackenzie. She asked me to convey her regards since she can’t

come today,” Emmanuel explained.

Since Mackenzie gave 2,000 bucks to the villagers, she couldn’t give less to

Emmanuel’s family, could she? Given the Quillen family’s assets worth billions,

cash envelopes containing 5,000 bucks were just a drop in the bucket.

Emmanuel had helped resolve their energy business crisis, so this was just a

small gesture of gratitude.

“T–This is too much. How can we accept them?!” Ryder turned them down in

a shaky voice.

Jack thought the same too. He had originally prepared several 1,000–bucks

cash envelopes, intending to curry favor with Mackenzie. Little did he know

that she would give out 5,000 each. For a moment, he felt embarrassed to

take out his envelopes.

Ryder, on the other hand, was unperturbed when he handed two cash

envelopes with 500 bucks to Emmanuel. “Here, this is for you and Mackenzie.

It’s her first new year with our family. It’s only right that I give you two

envelopes. I just hope you don’t think they’re too little.”

“Thanks, Ryder.” Emmanuel accepted the envelopes. Giving out cash.

envelopes was a custom and a blessing of one person to the other. The

amount didn’t matter to him. Moreover, considering Ryder’s financial

situation, giving out 500 bucks was already a generous gesture.

“By the way, Manny, I have a favor to ask.” Ryder took the chance to pull

Emmanuel aside.

“What’s up?” Emmanuel speculated that Ryder must have something

important to discuss since he had asked before the holidays if Emmanuel

had time. He was curious to find out what was it.
