Chapter-33

"Mr. Doyle's mother is a good friend of Ms. Lorelei. Since 

he's questioning the validity of someone's presence, it's 

naturally my job as the person in charge to sort this 

out!" replied Adam. 

Adam then added, "Since I've never seen this 

gentleman before and his clothing seems quite out of 

place for a banquet like this, I need him to show me an 

invitation!" 

Given that it was a reasonable answer, Roselynn could 

not refute it. 

What do I do? 

What's more, someone suddenly shouted, "His name is 

Emmanuel Lowe, and he is a gynecologist. I daresay 

that he snuck inside without an invitation!" 

Milani had been waiting for this opportunity for a long 

time. How could she pass up a chance at revenge? 

She really wanted to see Emmanuel being kicked out 

in full view. It was going to be satisfying, and it could 

allow her to vent her hatred. 

"Right! Just look at his outfit! He claims that he 

received an invitation to this banquet. I refuse to 

believe it!" 

As soon as Milani spoke, the women surrounding her 

echoed in agreement. 

The one thing a banquet like this did not lack were 

lapdogs and self–righteous women. They were fond of 

using someone's allegedly lowly status to elevate 

themselves. 

Right now, Emmanuel was nothing but a lowly 

miscreant to them. 

"Sir, please show me your invitation now. Otherwise, 

you can't blame us for being rude." 

Adam's expression had turned grim. 

As the banquet manager, Adam could be blamed for 

negligence if someone slipped inside amid all this 

confusion. If the situation continued to escalate, it was 

going to be hard for Adam to explain what happened. 

"I don't have an invitation," confessed Emmanuel. 

Roselynn looked on helplessly because her invitation 

did not qualify her to be on the third floor, let alone 

bring in a stranger. 

This scene caused an uproar. 

"Ms. Roselynn, this man is riffraff! He has no business 

being with you. Come over to my side!" 

An arrogant smile finally made its way to Keegan's lips. 

Keegan was even showing off in front of Roselynn, and 

there was nothing to conceal the disdain he had for 

Emmanuel in his eyes. 

This man is indeed good–looking and skilled, but so 

what? He has no identity or status. On top of that, he's 

just scum. What can he use to compete against me? 

"This is an outrage! How did you sneak inside without 

an invitation?" asked Adam angrily. 

If this became an even bigger deal, Adam, the person 

in charge, was going to have a hard time explaining 

this to his superiors. 

Fortunately, this incident had yet to alert the bigwigs 

upstairs. Otherwise, it was going to be even harder to 

contain. 

"Goodness, Emmanuel. What are you going to do this 

time?" 

Milani was very happy, and there was nothing but 

gleeful excitement all over her face. 

Emmanuel could not explain. If he spoke the truth, 

Roselynn was going to be implicated too. As such, he 

chose to remain silent for the time being. 

"Why is there such a ruckus? What on earth has 

happened?" 

Claudette was attending another social event at a 

different banquet hall. She had just ascended the third 

floor when she realized that a group of people was 

gathered in a corner. 

She hurried over to take a look and noticed that it was 

Emmanuel and Roselynn who were caught in the 

middle. 

"Emmanuel seems to be in a tight spot. What do I do?" 

muttered Claudette. 

When she saw so many people deliberately making 

things difficult for Emmanuel, Claudette was quite 

anxious. 

Claudette had a very unique illness back then. She had 

seen many female gynecologists but failed to find a 

cure. In the end, Emmanuel, a male doctor, was the 

one who succeeded in curing her. 

A disease of that nature was not going to be cured 

after a single visit. To make a complete recovery, 

Claudette met Emmanuel many times in secret. 

Of course, Claudette had undressed numerous times 

in front of Emmanuel too. It was quite embarrassing to 

think about. 

Back then, she was barely twenty years old. 

Since women had a sense of loyalty, Claudette's heart 

vaguely affirmed this man's character simply because 

he had seen her body so many times. 

The most important thing was that Emmanuel bore no 

ill intent when he examined her. His clear eyes and 

serious expression were deeply imprinted into her 

mind. 

Gradually, Claudette developed a liking for the tall and 

handsome Emmanuel, which was different from how 

she felt about other men. 

Just then, Milani's voice rang across the room once 

more. "Everyone, do be careful. For all we know, he's a 

thief who snuck in to pickpocket us!" 

Immediately, everyone present started frantically 

checking their valuables for fear of anything missing. 

When Roselynn saw this, she began to panic too. 

With so many people present, she was worried that 

someone was going to announce that they had lost 

something. If that happened, Emmanuel was going to 

stand no chance of proving his innocence. 

Emmanuel furrowed his brows. He didn't think that 

Milani was going to be so vicious. 

"Everyone, please accept my apology. I was the one 

who brought him in!" 

Just then, Claudette finally strode in. 

When she showed up, there was another uproar. 

Although Claudette was a discreet person, she was still 

a scion of the wealthy Lenoir family. There were few 

present who did not know her. 

Claudette was also a classy beauty who had plenty of 

admirers. Many people had mixed feelings when they 

saw her sticking up for Emmanuel. 

Emmanuel looked over and saw that Claudette was 

smiling faintly at him. 

It was quite a delicate smile. 

Emmanue! immediately responded with a faint smile 

of his own. 

Just as he was about to be swept away by everyone's 

accusations and insults, this young lady actually stood 

up for him, like a small boat going against the current. 

Emmanuel was very grateful for her kind gesture. 

"I'm sorry, Ms. Lenoir. Although you are a distinguished 

guest, you have no right to just invite an outsider!" 

"No. She was not the one who invited me!" 

Just as Adam was about to make things difficult for 

Claudette, Emmanuel stepped in to defend her 

instead. "Ms. Lenoir only wanted to help me out of 

kindness. This has nothing to do with her." 

Emmanuel was already prepared to be chased out of 

the venue and did not want to implicate anyone else. 

Claudette sighed helplessly. She did not expect 

Emmanuel to say this. 

Now, everyone was ganging up on Emmanuel and 

treating him like a thief. Even though Claudette had no 

right to bring him in, she could at least find a way to 

smooth things over. Why did he turn down this kind 

gesture of hers? 

Does Emmanuel not think of me as a friend? 

"Fine. If that's so, then you admit to sneaking in!" 

Adam had already lost his patience, not wanting to 

spare a second glance at Emmanuel. "Guards! Drag 

this riffraff out of here!" 

The crowd who was coldly watching the scene unfold 

immediately burst into a flurry of activity. 

"Hmph. Imagine being a loser and still having the guts 

to sneak into a prestigious event like this. We can't let 

this slide! He needs to be handed over to the police!" 

"Indeed! He has disturbed the public order and should 

be subjected to administrative detention!" 

"Everyone, check and see if your valuables are still 

there. There's only one person to be blamed for this." 

If anything, a lot of the banquet's attendees merely 

came to show off their superiority. 

However, this sense of superiority came at the expense 

of someone else. They saw how this person, who had 

no right to be here, had trespassed on private property 

to sneak into this banquet. Given that they had every 

right to stay as guests, they felt a sense of 

accomplishment. Some even took the time to spread 

this on Instagram to act cool. 

Now that things have gone to this extent, Claudette 

could not do much else to help. She merely looked at 

Emmanuel's lone figure and sighed.
