Chapter 33

Chapter 33 “Mr. Doyle’s mother is a good friend of Ms. Lorelei. Since he’s questioning the validity of someone’s presence, it’s naturally my job as the person in charge to sort this out!” replied Adam. Adam then added, “Since I’ve never seen this gentleman before and his clothing seems quite out of place for a banquet like this, I need him to show me an invitation!” Given that it was a reasonable answer, Roselynn could not refute it. What do I do? What’s more, someone suddenly shouted, “His name is Emmanuel Lowe, and he is a gynecologist. I daresay that he snuck inside without an invitation!” Milani had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. How could she pass up a chance at revenge? She really wanted to see Emmanuel being kicked out in full view. It was going to be satisfying, and it could allow her to vent her hatred. “Right! Just look at his outfit! He claims that he received an invitation to this banquet. I refuse to believe it!” As soon as Milani spoke, the women surrounding her echoed in agreement. The one thing a banquet like this did not lack were lapdogs and self–righteous women. They were fond of using someone’s allegedly lowly status to elevate themselves. Right now, Emmanuel was nothing but a lowly miscreant to them. “Sir, please show me your invitation now. Otherwise, you can’t blame us for being rude.” Adam’s expression had turned grim. As the banquet manager, Adam could be blamed for negligence if someone slipped inside amid all this confusion. If the situation continued to escalate, it was going to be hard for Adam to explain what happened. “I don’t have an invitation,” confessed Emmanuel. Roselynn looked on helplessly because her invitation did not qualify her to be on the third floor, let alone bring in a stranger. This scene caused an uproar. “Ms. Roselynn, this man is riffraff! He has no business being with you. Come over to my side!” An arrogant smile finally made its way to Keegan’s lips. Keegan was even showing off in front of Roselynn, and there was nothing to conceal the disdain he had for Emmanuel in his eyes. This man is indeed good–looking and skilled, but so what? He has no identity or status. On top of that, he’s just scum. What can he use to compete against me? “This is an outrage! How did you sneak inside without an invitation?” asked Adam angrily. If this became an even bigger deal, Adam, the person in charge, was going to have a hard time explaining this to his superiors. Fortunately, this incident had yet to alert the bigwigs upstairs. Otherwise, it was going to be even harder to contain. “Goodness, Emmanuel. What are you going to do this time?” Milani was very happy, and there was nothing but gleeful excitement all over her face. Emmanuel could not explain. If he spoke the truth, Roselynn was going to be implicated too. As such, he chose to remain silent for the time being. “Why is there such a ruckus? What on earth has happened?” Claudette was attending another social event at a different banquet hall. She had just ascended the third floor when she realized that a group of people was gathered in a corner. She hurried over to take a look and noticed that it was Emmanuel and Roselynn who were caught in the middle. “Emmanuel seems to be in a tight spot. What do I do?” muttered Claudette. When she saw so many people deliberately making things difficult for Emmanuel, Claudette was quite anxious. Claudette had a very unique illness back then. She had seen many female gynecologists but failed to find a cure. In the end, Emmanuel, a male doctor, was the one who succeeded in curing her. A disease of that nature was not going to be cured after a single visit. To make a complete recovery, Claudette met Emmanuel many times in secret. Of course, Claudette had undressed numerous times in front of Emmanuel too. It was quite embarrassing to think about. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findηovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Back then, she was barely twenty years old. Since women had a sense of loyalty, Claudette’s heart vaguely affirmed this man’s character simply because he had seen her body so many times. The most important thing was that Emmanuel bore no ill intent when he examined her. His clear eyes and serious expression were deeply imprinted into her mind. Gradually, Claudette developed a liking for the tall and handsome Emmanuel, which was different from how she felt about other men. Just then, Milani’s voice rang across the room once more. “Everyone, do be careful. For all we know, he’s a thief who snuck in to pickpocket us!” Immediately, everyone present started frantically checking their valuables for fear of anything missing. When Roselynn saw this, she began to panic too. With so many people present, she was worried that someone was going to announce that they had lost something. If that happened, Emmanuel was going to stand no chance of proving his innocence. Emmanuel furrowed his brows. He didn’t think that Milani was going to be so vicious. “Everyone, please accept my apology. I was the one who brought him in!” Just then, Claudette finally strode in. When she showed up, there was another uproar. Although Claudette was a discreet person, she was still a scion of the wealthy Lenoir family. There were few present who did not know her. Claudette was also a classy beauty who had plenty of admirers. Many people had mixed feelings when they saw her sticking up for Emmanuel. Emmanuel looked over and saw that Claudette was smiling faintly at him. It was quite a delicate smile. Emmanue! immediately responded with a faint smile of his own. Just as he was about to be swept away by everyone’s accusations and insults, this young lady actually stood up for him, like a small boat going against the current. Emmanuel was very grateful for her kind gesture. “I’m sorry, Ms. Lenoir. Although you are a distinguished guest, you have no right to just invite an outsider!” “No. She was not the one who invited me!” Just as Adam was about to make things difficult for Claudette, Emmanuel stepped in to defend her instead. “Ms. Lenoir only wanted to help me out of kindness. This has nothing to do with her.” Emmanuel was already prepared to be chased out of the venue and did not want to implicate anyone else. Claudette sighed helplessly. She did not expect Emmanuel to say this. Now, everyone was ganging up on Emmanuel and treating him like a thief. Even though Claudette had no right to bring him in, she could at least find a way to smooth things over. Why did he turn down this kind gesture of hers? Does Emmanuel not think of me as a friend? “Fine. If that’s so, then you admit to sneaking in!” Adam had already lost his patience, not wanting to spare a second glance at Emmanuel. “Guards! Drag this riffraff out of here!” The crowd who was coldly watching the scene unfold immediately burst into a flurry of activity. “Hmph. Imagine being a loser and still having the guts to sneak into a prestigious event like this. We can’t let this slide! He needs to be handed over to the police!” “Indeed! He has disturbed the public order and should be subjected to administrative detention!” “Everyone, check and see if your valuables are still there. There’s only one person to be blamed for this.” If anything, a lot of the banquet’s attendees merely came to show off their superiority. However, this sense of superiority came at the expense of someone else. They saw how this person, who had no right to be here, had trespassed on private property to sneak into this banquet. Given that they had every right to stay as guests, they felt a sense of accomplishment. Some even took the time to spread this on Instagram to act cool. Now that things have gone to this extent, Claudette could not do much else to help. She merely looked at Emmanuel’s lone figure and sighed.
