Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 81

Chapter 81

Everything was so casual here that Felicity inevitably felt irritated.

Nevertheless, she was not like the typical mothers-in-law who would

underestimate their sons-in-law in the novels. While she did not think

highly of Emmanuel, she would not say it aloud or make it obvious.

On the contrary, Mackenzie enjoyed the customs of the Lowe family. If she

was asked to kneel and serve Alessandra, she would absolutely refuse to

do so.

Discreetly, she studied her mother, yet she could not read the latter’s

expression.

While the atmosphere was lively in the house, a commotion also occurred

outside.

Since Ryder had no interest in socializing with his cousin’s family, he

stayed near the main gate. Right at this moment, Shawn made an

appearance with his men.

Without beating around the bush, Shawn questioned, “Ryder, is your wife

going to pay up today?”

“We will! We’ll definitely pay you back! But today is my cousin’s happy day.

Could you show us some mercy and give us a few more days?” Ryder

begged while clasping his hands together.

With a sinister laugh, Shawn replied, “Sure! Just let me sleep with your wife

for a few nights.”

“N-No! I can’t let that happen!”

“No? If she doesn’t pay up, I can just make her a hostess in a bathhouse.

What do you think your wife was before? Some virtuous woman?” taunted

Shawn as he smiled coldly.

His words pierced right through Ryder’s heart.

Truthfully, he knew what his wife did before marriage, but that did not

matter. As long as she did not get intimate with other men after marriage,

he was willing to endure any hardships and work tirelessly to support his

family.

Not,daring to refute Shawn, Ryder immediately went on his knees. “Please,

I’m begging you. Give us a few more days!”

“Scram!”

Shawn kicked him away and led his men to barge into Emmanuel’s house.

Hearing the commotion, Roselynn opened the door. The Lowe residence

was a self-built house in which the front yard could be seen from the

living room.

“What’s wrong? What’s happening?”

“Get lost. Our business is with Abellyn.”

Disregarding Roselynn, Shawn invited himself and his men in.

While passing the front yard, they kicked and knocked things over to

display their aggressiveness and fearlessness, infuriating Roselynn.

What did Abellyn do to offend such people?

Abellyn was already aware that they would search for her here, so she

had been hiding in the room, not daring to get out at all.

Even so, hiding in the room was no solution since she knew how

unreasonable Shawn could be. He would replace a way in sooner or later.

“Why are you guys looking for my mom?” Tommy shouted.

“Hehe, we’re looking for your mom because-”

The vulgar words he was about to say got stuck midway through his

sentence as he noticed Mackenzie.

As they were from the lower class, the Lowe family might not know who

Mackenzie was, but as the son of an influential businessman, how could

Shawn not recognize her?

Thinking they were playing tricks on him, Shawn rubbed his eyes. He

refused to believe that the mighty Mackenzie of the Quillen family would

be in such a run-down place.

However, even after he rubbed his eyes, she was still there.

Regardless of the relationship the Lowe family had with Mackenzie, he

knew he could not afford to cross such a formidable figure. He reacted

quickly by saying, “I’m sorry! I came to the wrong house!”

With that, he hurriedly turned around and left.
