Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 321-“Sh*t!” Abellyn felt like a mouse encountering a cat upon seeing the lawyer and even considered hiding for a moment. Jayden Castro is a renowned lawyer in the industry. If he’s representing Ryder in the lawsuit, he’ll surely win. By then, all my crimes will be exposed, and the whole city will know! What should I do? However, before she could hide, she overheard Jayden’s conversation with Emmanuel. “Mr. Lowe, Ms. Quillen asked me to discuss the divorce matters with you!” What? A divorce? Abellyn grinned with a hint of schadenfreude after recovering from the shock. She had always thought that Emmanuel was reaching for the stars by marrying Mackenzie. It wasn’t that Emmanuel wasn’t good–looking, but why should a penniless guy like him get to marry a rich and beautiful woman like Mackenzie? Alas, the mismatched marriage had ultimately fallen apart. However, she didn’t expect it to end in less than two months! Emmanuel was also taken aback. He was evidently upset, but he didn’t react too intensely. He only nodded with a touch of sadness. “Here, take a look at this document. If there are no objections, we will proceed accordingly,” said Jayden as he handed the divorce agreement to Emmanuel, who felt hurt. Though he knew from the get–go that this marriage was just a show to deceive their families and it would eventually end, he still had a hard time taking it all in when he looked at the legal document. In fact, his heart twinged. However, thinking about how cold–hearted Mackenzie could be, he also felt angry. It was one thing for a woman to have a temper, but Mackenzie took it too far. She unilaterally insisted on divorcing without any discussion, showing a lack of respect for him. Fine, if she wants a divorce, then we’ll get a divorce! At that, Emmanuel said to the lawyer, “I agree to the divorce, Mr. Castro, but I won’t sign this agreement.” Jayden seemed to have seen it coming, and he adjusted his glasses before novelbin smiling and asking, “Feel free to name further conditions, Mr. Lowe. I will relay them to Ms. Quillen.” Abellyn, who was watching from behind, sneered disdainfully. Hmph, so much for being honest and benign. That Emmanuel’s also nothing but a toy boy! He’s even more shameless than me, all hypocritical and pretentious! He only married Mackenzie for her money, didn’t he? He’s certainly dissatisfied with the divorce settlement like me and wants to demand more! “Please tell Ms. Quillen that I don’t want anything from her. Since she has decided to divorce, I’ll simply sign the papers!” Emmanuel said calmly, shocking Abellyn. What’s going on? Is Emmanuel not a toy boy? Didn’t he marry Mackenzie for her money? Did he purely desire her beauty? Jayden, too, was stumped, taking quite a moment before coming to himself. “Ms. Quillen willingly gave you the house and the car, Mr. Lowe, which together are worth several million. Are you really not interested?” “I don’t want them. Since we’re getting a divorce, that’ll make her and I strangers, and I won’t take things from a stranger!” Emmanuel said, then turned to leave.
Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 322-Despite appearing calm, Emmanuel was actually shattered within.
His mind replayed the moments he spent with Mackenzie. It wasn’t a passionate love, but it was at least warm and joyful.
He wasn’t an emotionless person; on the contrary, he was very sentimental. It was difficult for him to leave and change his way of life suddenly. He felt very upset!
Although Jayden was surprised, he, a professional lawyer, wouldn’t speak out of turn. Once the task was completed, he would leave.
On the other hand, Abellyn suddenly stood before Emmanuel, her demeanor completely different from earlier. “Aw, have you been dumped, Emmanuel?” she ridiculed. “Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Are you feeling sad?” Emmanuel didn’t respond and just stared coldly at the woman.
He had suspected earlier that Ryder’s car accident was definitely a deliberate murder, but he didn’t want to speak out without evidence for the time being.
