Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 2045-Veronica’s Contempt “Ms. Veronica, how is your relationship with Nathan?” Emmanuel asked after a brief silence, deciding to take the direct approach.
“In the Chapman family, we’ve always had a single male heir in each generation. Naturally, the bond between siblings is very strong. Why do you ask, Mr. Lowe?” Veronica’s sharp intellect reminded Emmanuel of Mackenzie.
Emmanuel knew there was no point in being indirect with someone as astute as Veronica. “Nathan has been eager to learn martial arts from me, hoping to inherit my techniques. If the Chapman family supports Ethan in his bid for the presidency, I’ll agree to pass my martial arts skills on to him.” Emmanuel laid out his offer clearly, knowing this was his best bargaining chip.
The sisters began whispering amongst themselves, acknowledging Emmanuel’s prowess. They knew their younger brother had always been passionate about martial arts, particularly to impress one of the other Four Beauties of Zovince. If Nathan could inherit Emmanuel’s skills, it would Kertainly make him happy.
However, Veronica responded with a dismissive smile. “Mr. Lowe, forgive me for being blunt, but while your martial arts are impressive, the rumors about your abilities may be exaggerated.” Emmanuel frowned slightly. “What makes you say that, Ms. Veronica?” He normally didn’t care about the opinions circulating in the martial arts world, but this time, since his abilities were part of the negotiation, he felt compelled to defend them.
“People say that the pinnacle of Chanaean martial arts lies with the Southern Veronica’s Contempt Lannister and the Northern Wolf Warrior,” Veronica spoke candidly. “Like Nathan, I used to admire you, Mr. Lowe. But after today, I find myself disappointed.” “Oh? And why is that?” Emmanuel asked, curious about her reasoning.
