Chapter 294
Although Hubert had no idea how Emmanuel had managed to marry
Mackenzie, he had always looked down on Emmanuel who he thought was
just some peasant.
As Emmanuel was aware that the activities Hubert arranged were likely filled
with malice toward him, he didn’t really want to attend.
However, as someone who hailed from the military, he wouldn’t shrink in the
face of danger. It wasn’t like him to skip the party just because he was
worried about Hubert’s intentions.
So, he decided to go.
When Emmanuel arrived, a group of handsome men and beautiful women
had already gathered in the banquet hall.
Roselynn and Jaxton were also present.
Jaxton, who was usually high–profile, had become modest in every aspect.
Emmanuel wasn’t sure if it was because of what happened on his wedding
WH
day or because everyone present today was from wealthy families, but
Jaxton did not have a hint of his usual superiority.
Emmanuel then scanned the surroundings and noticed that Mackenzie and
Claudette had not arrived yet.
The banquet hall was filled with a buffet of delicious food while beautiful
music echoed in the space. It seemed like they were going to have a group
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdance.
He might be skilled in martial arts, but he was an average dancer. He had no
intention of participating, but the next moment, his eyes fell on a charming
and stunning emcee.
To his surprise, Claudette strode out from behind the stage in a silver evening
gown that showcased her flawless beauty. She looked like a fairy in a garden
of flowers!
She slowly strode up to the stage with a smile on her face and a microphone
in her hand, instantly becoming the sole focus when she attracted many
pairs of eyes.
A few men even shouted out loudly.
“Wow! What a goddess!”
“The goddess among goddesses!”
This was the first time Emmanuel had seen Claudette looking so glamorous.
Compared to their encounter during the laser tag, she was even more
beautiful and sexier now. She exuded a tremendous allure to the opposite
gender.
When Claudette noticed Emmanuel’s gaze on her, her heart pounded against
her ribs. Laura was right! Women have to dress like this to attract men!
Claudette’s confidence soared right then. Her biggest concern was that
Emmanuel would not be interested in her, but now, it seemed that the
gynecologist was also interested in women!
“Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s ball is sponsored by both Hubert and
Jonathan, the young masters of the Verkade family. So, let’s dance and enjoy
the night to the fullest!”
The atmosphere in the place was enlivened with just one sentence from
Claudette.
A group of young men and women had their excitement written all over their
faces as they cheered and screamed their agreement.
Although Emmanuel didn’t know what the Verkades‘ intentions were, he
decided to accept the situation and immerse himself in the ambiance.
As soon as the ball began, the men present boldly invited the beautiful
women to dance.
Jaxton also took the opportunity to invite his newlywed wife to a dance. After
all, it was a good chance to improve their relationship.
Furthermore, he really wanted to wrap his arms around Roselynn’s waist!
He had a particular fascination with women taller than him. It was the type of
fascination that got him exceptionally excited. This was the reason why he
had put a lot of effort into pursuing Roselynn.
At that time, he had no idea that Roselynn had someone influential to back
her up. He thought that she was just an ordinary civilian!
“Ms. Lenoir, may I have the honor of dancing with you?” Jonathan gathered
his courage once again and approached Claudette.
He noticed that this woman was becoming more and more captivating and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeautiful with each passing moment. She made him forget about the pretty
Mackenzie, who was the innocent type.
His main purpose for coming here, of course, was to pick up girls.
The ball tonight had cost him a fortune, but if he could win over the young
lady of the Lenoir family, no amount of money would be too much!
However, Claudette didn’t want to dance with him. Her gaze even
unknowingly darted at Emmanuel.
She never expected Emmanuel to be even more popular than she had
imagined. Two women had already approached him for a dance so far!
Although he had retired from the Northern Region Wolf Warrior Society, his
sturdy figure and aura as though he had experienced most of life still
attracted the opposite sex.
Claudette started to get anxious as she watched on. Aren’t those two women
being too bold?!
It was rare for Mackenzie to be absent. Claudette was waiting for Emmanuel
to invite her to dance. She had even thought about taking the initiative to
invite him. But now, things weren’t going as she planned at all!
“Ms. Lenoir, may I?” Jonathan pleaded once again. When he realized that her
gaze was not on him, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth and grow resentful of
Emmanuel.
Why is that guy always in my way whenever I try to pick up women? I don’t
get it! What’s so attractive about that beggar?
