Chapter 709

Chapter 709 Unfortunately, Rhea was a step too late. Emmanuel had already taken a bite. “Rhea, what on earth are you doing?!” Juan could no longer contain his anger and reprimanded, “You’re usually so well-behaved, why are you acting so outrageously today, especially in front of an honored guest?!” Rhea paid no attention to her father’s scolding. Seeing that Emmanuel had actually taken a bite, she quickly rushed to get a glass of water. And then it happened! Pfft! Emmanuel spat out the food he had just consumed. Good heavens! What lethal dark cuisine is this?! While cooking might be an art, Rhea seemed to be aiming for manslaughter! Emmanuel thought to himself and wondered whether she was working for Magnus. Emmanuel realized that, even if he had thought about countless possibilities, he could never have imagined that Rhea would help Magnus kill him. “Emmanuel, w-what’s wrong?” Juan and Edith also realized at this point that something was off. What on earth had Emmanuel eaten? He seemed as if he were about to breathe fire! “Mom, Dad, move away quickly!” Rhea quickly pushed her parents aside and placed a large glass of water in front of Emmanuel, urging, “Drink some water quickly!” At this moment, Emmanuel felt that even if she had poisoned the water, he would have to drink it. Being poisoned to death was better than being spiced to death! Fortunately, the water wasn’t poisoned. After downing a full glass of water, he finally felt a little better. Juan finally realized the problem too. He tasted all the dishes his daughter had prepared and immediately spat them out after taking each bite. “What is the meaning of this, Rhea? What are you trying to do?!” Juan hit the roof. Rhea’s face was already as red as a heated pan, and she stammered for a long time before finally mustering a few words, “I… I didn’t know t-that Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Emmanuel was coming! I thought you guys had arranged a blind date for me…” Oh, dear! Juan held his forehead, not knowing what to say. Emmanuel was speechless as well. It turned out he had become a scapegoat for someone else’s blind date plan. Alas, blind dates had really “tormented” many young men and women. “Quickly prepare some normal dishes then, Rhea!” “Rhea, then quickly go and make some normal food!” Juan couldn’t vent his anger properly, so he raised his voice and ordered his daughter. “Alright… I’ll see what’s left in the kitchen…” Rhea hurriedly rushed back into the kitchen. “Emmanuel, I’m truly sorry! Sigh, how did things turn out like this?” Juan also felt very apologetic and embarrassed. “Haha, it’s fine!” Emmanuel knew they had no ill intentions, so he didn’t take it to heart. He waved his hand and joked, “Indeed, this taste is truly unforgettable!” “We-” Juan hesitated for a moment but then burst into laughter. “Unforgettable is good! Unforgettable is good, hahaha…”. Rhea listened to the conversation outside, and her cheeks remained as red as apples. After checking the kitchen and realizing that there was nothing left, she lowered her head, her hands folded in front of her, and she shyly said as she walked out, “Emmanuel, I’m sorry, there’s nothing left to cook at home. Should we go out to eat instead?” With a sigh, Juan forced a smile at Emmanuel and said, “Emmanuel, you’ve been through quite an ordeal today! If you don’t mind, shall we go to the Serenity Resort for our meal?” Emmanuel’s expression dimmed slightly at the mention of the restaurant. It was after having a meal there that Claudette had taken a bullet for him, but now, the young woman was no longer around.
