Love At The Wrong Table

“I joined the army at fourteen, made the field division

at seventeen, and was awarded the rank of junior

lieutenant at twenty!” hissed Keegan. “Now, there are

many officers under my command! I’m not some

small–time gangster! I’m a real, gun–wielding soldier

who has killed before!”

Keegan’s loud voice and imposing aura terrified

everyone.

Having said that, the scorn returned to Keegan’s face

as he looked at Emmanuel. “Now, do you dare display

such arrogance before me?”

Everyone assumed that Emmanuel was going to be

quaking in his boots. However, nobody expected this

gynecologist to look contemptuously at Keegan and

retort, “Do you think it’s an honor to have killed before?”

These words made Milani, Chase, and everyone else

very anxious.

After all, if a man said that he had killed before, he

wasn’t fooling around. This was not a game of

Werewolves!

Is Emmanuel truly not afraid of being killed?

Milani had changed her opinion of Emmanuel after

seeing the way he behaved tonight. For one to be this

arrogant, he is definitely a genius. However, I think he

won’t live for long!

There were already many people paying attention to

the commotion, but after the two exchanged barbs

tit–for–tat, more and more people gathered around

them.

Lexi had also never imagined Ms. Mackenzie’s husband

to be so plucky.

No wonder I heard rumors that he’d managed to

impress someone like Mr. Webber! However, he didn’t

hesitate to pick a fight with Keegan to protect the

woman behind him. I wonder what their relationship is.

If Ms. Mackenzie finds out about this, she’s going to be

so angry!

Right now, Keegan was extremely livid.

Keegan was a well–known figure among the upper

echelons of Yeringham and had a reputation for a hot

temper and behaving impulsively. There had been

many young heirs of these families who had gotten

into conflicts with Keegan, only to be defeated by his

fists.

If even such rich and powerful people were afraid to

take revenge on Keegan, what gave this poor nobody

the audacity to pick a fight with Keegan?

The whole situation was preposterous.

Keegan wanted to pull out the gun from his waist in a

fit of rage.

“Keegan Doyle!” yelled Roselynn.

When Roselynn saw what was about to unfurl, she

hurriedly tried to put a stop to this. “I’m not your

girlfriend or your woman! Why do you care who I’m

speaking to? I don’t want to go elsewhere with you

either!”

Keegan was already angry and paid Roselynn no

mind. As such, he continued to draw his gun.

Emmanuel quickly shook off Keegan’s hand and

pushed him away, putting some distance between

them.

Just as things were about to get heated, another voice

was heard entering the fray. “What’s the meaning of

this? Who dares cause a ruckus at the Quillen family’s

banquet?”

As soon as those words were spoken, an old man in a

black suit walked in quickly with the staff stationed

on–site.

The onlookers looked more and more excited.

“I never expected Mr. Smith to come over personally.

This is going to be such a treat!”

“The Quillen family is the number one family in

Yeringham. Mrs. Quillen was also promoted to deputy

mayor! If the two of them dare to make trouble at her

banquet, nobody is going to let things slide.”

A group of women immediately began to gossip.

Milani immediately leaned over and snorted derisively.

“It’s best to drive out this gynecologist. An intrusion to

this banquet by the likes of him serves only to cheapen

the atmosphere!”

When Keegan saw Adam, he immediately lowered his NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

hand and tried to take control of the situation. “Mr.

Smith, I am Keegan Doyle of the Doyle family. I

assumed that tonight was meant to be an elegant

affair. I never expected such unruly people to barge in.

It’s really disappointing!”

Adam was taken aback.

The Doyle family was also quite powerful in Yeringham.

Keegan’s mother was an official figure, so Adam dared

not offend the Doyle family so easily. Humbly, Adam

replied, “I’m truly sorry about this, Mr. Doyle. If someone

managed to sneak in, it’s definitely negligence on our

part. Please allow me to investigate this.”

After this, Adam turned to face Emmanuel with an icy

look. “Sir, please show me your invitation!”

Roselynn immediately became nervous and retorted,

“Why do you want Emmanuel to show you an invitation

just because of one accusation from Keegan? He’s not

the organizer!”
