Chapter 294

Chapter 294 Although Hubert had no idea how Emmanuel had managed to marry  Mackenzie, he had always looked down on Emmanuel who he thought was  just some peasant. As Emmanuel was aware that the activities Hubert arranged were likely filled with malice toward him, he didn’t really want to attend. However, as someone who hailed from the military, he wouldn’t shrink in the face of danger. It wasn’t like him to skip the party just because he was worried about Hubert’s intentions. So, he decided to go. When Emmanuel arrived, a group of handsome men and beautiful women had already gathered in the banquet hall. Roselynn and Jaxton were also present. Jaxton, who was usually high–profile, had become modest in every aspect. Emmanuel wasn’t sure if it was because of what happened on his wedding  WH day or because everyone present today was from wealthy families, but Jaxton did not have a hint of his usual superiority. Emmanuel then scanned the surroundings and noticed that Mackenzie and Claudette had not arrived yet. The banquet hall was filled with a buffet of delicious food while beautiful music echoed in the space. It seemed like they were going to have a group dance. He might be skilled in martial arts, but he was an average dancer. He had no intention of participating, but the next moment, his eyes fell on a charming  and stunning emcee. To his surprise, Claudette strode out from behind the stage in a silver evening gown that showcased her flawless beauty. She looked like a fairy in a garden of flowers!  She slowly strode up to the stage with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, instantly becoming the sole focus when she attracted many pairs of eyes. A few men even shouted out loudly. “Wow! What a goddess!”  “The goddess among goddesses!”  This was the first time Emmanuel had seen Claudette looking so glamorous. Compared to their encounter during the laser tag, she was even more beautiful and sexier now. She exuded a tremendous allure to the opposite gender. When Claudette noticed Emmanuel’s gaze on her, her heart pounded against  her ribs. Laura was right! Women have to dress like this to attract men! Claudette’s confidence soared right then. Her biggest concern was that Emmanuel would not be interested in her, but now, it seemed that the gynecologist was also interested in women! “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s ball is sponsored by both Hubert and Jonathan, the young masters of the Verkade family. So, let’s dance and enjoy the night to the fullest!” The atmosphere in the place was enlivened with just one sentence from  Claudette. A group of young men and women had their excitement written all over their faces as they cheered and screamed their agreement. Although Emmanuel didn’t know what the Verkades‘ intentions were, he decided to accept the situation and immerse himself in the ambiance. As soon as the ball began, the men present boldly invited the beautiful women to dance. Jaxton also took the opportunity to invite his newlywed wife to a dance. After  all, it was a good chance to improve their relationship. Furthermore, he really wanted to wrap his arms around Roselynn’s waist! He had a particular fascination with women taller than him. It was the type of fascination that got him exceptionally excited. This was the reason why he had put a lot of effort into pursuing Roselynn. At that time, he had no idea that Roselynn had someone influential to back her up. He thought that she was just an ordinary civilian! “Ms. Lenoir, may I have the honor of dancing with you?” Jonathan gathered his courage once again and approached Claudette.

He noticed that this woman was becoming more and more captivating and beautiful with each passing moment. She made him forget about the pretty Mackenzie, who was the innocent type. His main purpose for coming here, of course, was to pick up girls. The ball tonight had cost him a fortune, but if he could win over the young lady of the Lenoir family, no amount of money would be too much! However, Claudette didn’t want to dance with him. Her gaze even unknowingly darted at Emmanuel. She never expected Emmanuel to be even more popular than she had imagined. Two women had already approached him for a dance so far! Although he had retired from the Northern Region Wolf Warrior Society, his sturdy figure and aura as though he had experienced most of life still attracted the opposite sex. Claudette started to get anxious as she watched on. Aren’t those two women being too bold?! It was rare for Mackenzie to be absent. Claudette was waiting for Emmanuel to invite her to dance. She had even thought about taking the initiative to invite him. But now, things weren’t going as she planned at all! “Ms. Lenoir, may I?” Jonathan pleaded once again. When he realized that her gaze was not on him, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth and grow resentful of Emmanuel. Why is that guy always in my way whenever I try to pick up women? I don’t get it! What’s so attractive about that beggar?
