Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1924 Look at Yourself

“You ungrateful b*stard, hold it right there!”

Stella had already declared her identity, expecting the man before her to be

awestruck by her presence. Yet, Emmanuel’s indifference made her deeply

humiliated. Her icy voice sliced through the air, demanding his attention.

He paused momentarily, glancing at her without much interest. She quickly Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Her head was held high as her

chest heaved in anger.

“Ms. Stella, since you’re here, do you know where Owen is?” he asked.

“Don’t know, don’t care!” Stella snapped, her voice dripping with frost.

“In that case, bye!” he responded simply, after which he left.

“D*mn it!”

Outraged beyond measure, Stella began to behave like a child. She lunged

forward, grabbed his arm, and shrieked, “Help! There’s a pervert! I’m being

harassed!

The surrounding crowd erupted in gasps and whispers, their attention now

fully drawn to the spectacle unfolding before them. No one had anticipated

Stella would stoop so low to deal with the man.

The nearby women exchanged disdainful glances with each other. How dare

she resort to such despicable tactics when a man ignores her? Disgusting.

Emmanuel furrowed his brow and stared at her.

Stella involuntarily shivered under the weight of his stare but quickly masked

her fear. She was used to having the upper hand, especially with men. After

all, she believed her gender gave her the upper hand, so she threatened,

“Sc*mbag. How dare you grab my butt and touch my chest and leave! In

your dreams!

“You have two options now. Either be my boyfriend so that I won’t have to

deal with that Tanner guy, or you won’t leave here unscathed today!”

Emmanuel smirked.

He had no time for this nonsense, but he had to teach her a lesson for

ensnaring him in her tantrums. While a woman’s pride is one thing. Stelid’s

behavior is proof of her lack of integrity. Such a woman deserves no

sympathy.

As if on cue, the manager arrived in a panic, his voice rising over the crowd’s

murmur. “Ms. Stella, did you just cry out for help? Is everything alright?”

The crowd’s whispers grew louder.

“That guy seems decent. I doubt he’d do anything shady.”

“I saw it with my own eyes. Stella threw herself at him. When the hot guy ignored her, she got furious and started making false accusations.”

“Shush, don’t be so loud! She’s from the Quill family. Offend them, and you’re

done for life!”

Several women who wanted to speak up for Enuel swallowed their

words in fear of retaliation. No one dared challenge the Quill family, who held

immense power in Eldoria.

Stella’s smirk deepened, her eyes gleaming with victory as she glared at

Emmanuel. “So? Do you regret your actions? Beg for forgiveness, or you’ll end

up in prison. Your life will be ruined!”

Emmanuel merely scoffed, his contempt barely concealed. This woman truly

believes her family rules this country. She thinks she’s the princess of Eldoria.

Stella’s face flushed with rage upon seeing his smirk. “You think I’m bluffing?

Eldoria belongs to the Quill family! I’m the princess of this city! Getting rid of a

worthless country bumpkin like you would be as easy as squashing a bug!”

Her anger spiraled out of control, her once calculated arrogance giving way

to raw fury.

How could I, the daughter of one of the most powerful families, be

humiliated? Countless men dream of being at my beck and willing to grovel

at my feet. Yet, this man has the audacity to ignore me.

“Is that so? Then, go ahead and give me hell.” Emmanuel’s voice remained

cold and measured.

“Why you! Fine, I’ll do as you wish, b*stard. I’ll make sure you learn your

lesson!” Stella raised her hand, ready to slap him across the face.

Before her hand could reach him, Emmanuel struck first with a Smack!

Stella stood in stunned silence, her mind struggling to process what had just

happened. Did he just hit me? Here, at my grandpa’s birthday banquet? In

front of all these people?

“How dare-” Stella’s voice trembled in disbelief.

She does not behave like an heiress but rather, she resembles a spoiled

princess. Emmanuel’s expression remained impassive. “Sometimes, you need

to reflect on yourself before blaming others. Do you know what respect is?

Where are your manners? Do you really think bullying others is your

birthright? That it’s others‘ fault when they teach you a lesson?”

“You b*stard! Die!”

Stella shrieked, her rage overtaking her senses. In a blind fury, she grabbed a

knife from the banquet table and lunged at Emmanuel, aiming for his heart.

However, she didn’t get far.

Smack!

The second slap was as loud and sharp, which resulted in the entire room

holding its breath in silence.

No one dared move or speak. This is not what we expect at this banquet!

More like they have disregarded the head of the Quills.

“The first slap was for being rude. The second for your false accusation.”

He stepped forward, delivering two more quick slaps that sent Stella crashing

to the ground, her cheek burning with humiliation and pain.

“The third was for being a member of the Quill family. And the fourth was

because I’m a married man. Since you lack self–respect, please stay the hell

away from me!”

Each word struck Stella like a hammer to her soul. She had pursued him, only

to be utterly humiliated. It was a nightmare that would haunt her for the rest

of her life.

Before she could even think of retaliating, a group of bodyguards rushed over

and surrounded Emmanuel.

“Who the hell touched my fiancée!?”

A voice bellowed, and a large, rotund man, accompanied by two

bodyguards, stormed into the hall.

“Look, it’s Mr. Howard!” someone whispered.

“He’s obsessed with Stella. Now that he’s seen her getting slapped, he’ll

definitely kill that man!”

Howard Tanner, the man in question, strode up to Emmanuel with arrogance.

“You b*stard! How dare you hit my woman? You’re dead! Not even the lord

can save you!”

Emmanuel didn’t bother to acknowledge him and walked past as if Howard

was invisible, even though Howard wanted to show off in front of Stella.

The crowd watched in awe, realizing just how bold this man was.

This is why he never hesitated to hit Stella! He doesn’t care about the Quill

family or the Tanner family of Zovince!

That’s so admirable!

Howard’s face turned purple with rage. “Kill him! I want his eyes gouged out,

his bones crushed, and be fed to the dogs!”

Emmanuel was offended by his threats. So, with a glare, it shocked the crowd

again because he sent Howard flying across the room.

His 200–pound frame crashed into a chair with a sickening thud.
