Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 1626

Chapter 1626

Mackenzie nodded in silence, offering no verbal response.

Hattie watched her from afar. She somewhat knew what thoughts might be

occupying Mackenzie’s mind.

What Beatrix said wasn’t the crux of the matter.

The issue was that if Eshal Silverbane won this 3 billion, the Quillen family

would entail a wager challenge from Eshal in the next match, which would

total 6 billion or more!

At that juncture, would Mackenzie accept or decline?

The atmosphere climaxed even before the competition commenced due to

the head–to–head betting between factions.

In the audience, Joe breathed a sigh of relief as the spectators‘ attention was

finally diverted.

Ring!

The bell rang, signaling the commencement of the first match of the finals as

scheduled.

Emmanuel was observing the battle from the preparation area as well.

He had previously faced off against Quinn and Ruben before.

Honestly, Ruben’s skills were slightly superior to Quinn’s, but Aaron, being

younger than his brother, possessed skills that were not inferior to his

brother’s!

Emmanuel wasn’t intimidated by the prospect of facing Ruben at all.

Moreover, his Falling Petals Palm technique was on par with Quinn’s!

Based on the rating standards set by the organizers, Emmanuel would rate

Quinn an S-, but this Aaron truly warranted an S rating!

Why did the organizers offer such significantly high odds for him?

78%量

He possessed the potential to cause an upset, yet the organizers exhibited

no fear of such a possibility.

The showdown between the two S–level masters on stage remained evenly

matched within the first hundred moves!

“Wow, am I doomed? I should have bet on the underdog!” Shane nervously

observed the scene,

He got carried away with the removal of the upper limit today, betting the tent

million he had won over the past two days on Eshal Silverbane.

On the other hand, Frederick appeared somewhat pleased but remained

silent.

He had secretly placed a bet with 9 times odds on Aaron!

Firstly, the Quillen family and Eshal Silverbane were archenemies. As

someone with a stance, he would never support the enemy, even at the cost

of losing money.

Secondly, both were S–level. On what basis would Ruben definitely win?

Thirdly, he also wanted to recover his losses.

So, he secretly borrowed 1 million from Beatrix, intending to redeem himself.

Now, watching the two combatants fighting fiercely with no clear advantage,

to bet on the side with high odds!

ring, still unaware of what had transpired and why his strength had

diminished so rapidly.

“D*mn it, I’ve lost again!”

Frederick’s frustration peaked, prompting existential doubt.

I

Am I indeed cursed? Why on earth do I always lose regardless of whom I bet

on?

“You didn’t bet on the Stewart family again, did you?” Shane observed his

dismayed expression and realized he couldn’t resist placing another bet.

Frowning, he warned, “Let me tell you, if you keep this up, you’ll lose

everything!”

Beatrix, however, chimed in with a playful smile, “Didn’t you promise to repay

his debt on his behalf?”

“Well…” Shane grumbled, but he still asked Frederick, “How much do you owe

now?”

Frederick’s expression was one of despair. “More than 6 million!”

Shane was speechless.

I wish I never knew Frederick!

How can I help him to repay? It’s more than 6 million!

Quickly, Frederick grinned and said, “Shane, can you lend me another 6

million? I’ll win in the next match!”
