Chapter 237

Chapter 237 The laser tag game was still on. Emmanuel and Claudette were still roaming about the battlefield, searching S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. for enemies. They had no idea what was going on elsewhere. The laser tag arena’s owner was Matias Lane, Isaac’s older brother. For realism, the outdoor arena was built in the rugged wilderness of a mountainside. That, however, meant a lot of cameras had been installed throughout the area just to ensure everyone’s safety. At the moment, Isaac and Jonathan were watching the multiple surveillance feeds in a staff room. When the cameras caught sight of Emmanuel and Claudette, they were leisurely strolling through the wilderness with linked hands. At the sight of that, Isaac and Jonathan roared with anger, “Darn it! Darn them!” *Claudette plays the untouchable saint before us, but she would offer herself up to that man for free?! Is she looking down on us?!” “Yeah! What makes him so special compared to us, anyway? Claudette must be blind!” They were seething with envy and jealousy. Every man in Yeringham yearned to take Claudette on a leisure stroll and roll in the wilderness. Somehow, someone had achieved the impossible, yet all these two men could do was watch through the digital screen as the two had fun. It would have been fine if the other man were someone more powerful and wealthier than they were. However, this man was just a mere doctor! How could they not be angry? It was outrageous! 4 “What do we do now, Isaac? We can’t just let this man lead Claudette to victory. It would be an even more aggravating outcome!” Jonathan abruptly blurted out. Isaac sneered as he gritted his teeth. His eyes shone with an eerie savagery. “Don’t worry,” he spat out. “They will never win! My brother owns this place. At  any moment, I can summon a group of experts. I’ll have them take care of this man later on. We’ll beat him up so badly that he’ll be begging for mercy. When Claudette sees that, she will no longer be fooled by his good–looking!”  “Hahaha! That’s a good plan,” Jonathan agreed. ww He then abruptly clapped his hands once in realization. “Isaac, if we get someone to beat him up, things might not go our way. Claudette will be suspicious of us and even sympathize with him. But what if he gets beaten up because he made enemies? If that happens, it could be framed as something he deserved.” “Haha! You’re even more vicious than I am.” Isaac gave Jonathan a thumbs–up as he continued, “As expected of the talent behind the student council, you truly think of everything. Nicely done, Jonathan!” “Oh, you flatter me! You’re the vicious one between the two of us. Only the truly powerful and talented could have a group of experts at their beck and call. My suggestion is merely a minor tactic.” The two men began to shower each other with flattery. They were so enthusiastic that an outsider might have thought they were great war  heroes. A few minutes later, a group of professionals dressed in camouflage attire arrived, summoned by Isaac. With the help of Jonathan’s meticulous planning, the group was soon marching into the wilderness with weapons in their arms. Unbeknownst to Claudette, her plan to pursue Emmanuel had accidentally lured in schemers hoping to destroy it. As it was Emmanuel’s and her first time in the arena, they had wandered into the forest due to how lost they were. That afternoon, the forests were very calm and tranquil. The setting sun’s rays hit a lake, filling the air with beams of gold. It was such a mesmerizing and unforgettable sight. “This place is beautiful, Dr. Lowe.” Letting out a sigh, she continued, “I would like to sit somewhere higher to admire the lake properly. May I?” “Sure! Let’s go.” Emmanuel might be oblivious, but he was not incapable of admiring the beauty of the lake. They were here anyway, so it could be considered fate’s design. It would be a waste if they did not sit down to admire the sunset. He lifted himself to a higher vantage point before casually holding his hand out for Claudette. With lips pursed to suppress the excited skips of her heart, she slid her slender hand into his palm and held onto his strong hand. One gentle pull was enough to bring her lithe figure into the air. A few thrilling moments later, she was standing close to him, leaning against  him for stability. “What a wonderful sight this is,” she exclaimed. It was indeed a wonderful sight, though it was not the most captivating sight the rich young woman had ever seen. The feelings of romance and delight were only this intense because the man standing beside her was the man she loved.
