Love at the Wrong Table novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718

Everyone was stupefied.

Eleanor was also taken aback, wondering if this woman had lost her mind.

“Is this the only trick you know for handling cases?” Emmanuel showed no

fear. Instead, a hint of disdain laced his face. “Also, this is called abusing

power for personal revenge!”

“You! You-” Ashton was so furious she almost pulled the trigger.

Fortunately, her two subordinates approached to placate her.

“Captain Summerton, calm down!”

“There are many people watching, so be careful not to get suspended for

misconduct!”

Ashton knew that too, but she just couldn’t swallow her anger.

“That’s enough, Ashton! You’re being unreasonable!” Juan scolded as he

Her behavior rendered Emmanuel speechless. Before, he had only heard the

phrase “well-developed limbs, simple mind” to describe certain types of men.

Now, he realized what it meant to be busty but brainless…

It was obvious she had replaced Deon as the captain of the third division

through her physical skills and bravery. However, this would be as far as she

would go with her intelligence.

“Emmanuel, regardless of your grudges with Verkade, human life is

paramount. Please save him too!” Juan pointed at Jonathan and pleaded
