Love At The Wrong Table

Meanwhile, outside Quillenrose at Empire Heights Mall, a crowd of curious

shop owners had gathered, leaving their own businesses unattended to

gossip. Although they couldn’t see what was happening inside, it didn’t stop

them from whispering among themselves,

“This new shop won’t last a day!”

“Poor new owner–why would she get involved in someone else’s feud?*

“Can’t really blame her! If you ask me, she’s either dumb or greedy. She

probably thought the price was too good to pass up! It just goes to show that

you can’t be too greedy in life, and you need to have some intelligence!”

shop next to Quillenrose and had earned the nickname Whispering Wanda

due to her constant gossiping and schadenfreude.

şide, Roselynn, who had been preparing to close up after her first day of

business, suddenly noticed her store getting darker. When she turned

around, she saw that black fabric had been draped over the windows,

blocking out the outside world. In the next moment, a group of burly men

stormed into the shop..

Most women would have screamed, “What do you think you’re doing?” But

Roselynn merely sighed as if she had grown used to such encounters. Here

comes another group ready to play games with me, she thought. Keeping a

calm mindset was crucial–if she allowed herself to feel exhausted, she

wouldn’t last in business.

“Haha, getting ready to close up?” Violet strutted in with a smug grin. “How did

your first day of business feel? I was merciful enough to let you experience it

fully. You won’t need to bother opening tomorrow!”

Roselynn rolled her eyes at Violet and retorted sarcastically, “What, are you

going to do it for me?”

“Tch, still so mouthy, huh? Let’s see if you and your brother are still so cocky

when you see who my man is!” Violet’s face twisted in anger, and she

shouted, “Honey, you have to teach them a lesson for me!”

In Violet’s mind, these outsiders–Roselynn and her brother–were only cocky

because they had a bit of money and Emmanuel knew some martial arts. But

once they saw what a true martial master looked like, specifically one of the

Lannister family’s top retainers, she was sure they would be begging for

mercy.

Hank entered with his head held high, exuding an air of arrogance that was

Completely different from how he behaved when following Gwain. He

swaggered forward confidently, prepared to show off his strength by

smashing a display case or kicking down a wall to scare them. But before he

could make a move, Roselynn spoke up in mock surprise, “Oh, it’s you, the

Lannister family’s little lapdog!”

Hank froze, visibly trembling as the words registered. “Ms. Roselynn?!”

On their way over, Violet had told him all about the people they were going to

confront. But since she didn’t know Roselynn or her brother’s names, she had

described them in the most dismissive terms, portraying Emmanuel as

someone who only bullied women and ordinary people–a small–time

Chapter 2058 The Unshakable Quillenrose

braggart who would be no match for Hank.

Now, seeing Roselynn, Hank realized the severity of the situation. This was

bout to go very badly for him. Her brother was the Emmanuel Lowe, the

same man who even Gwain had avoided confronting one–on–one during the

incident in Eldoria. This is bad, really bad… Hank thought.

Sure enough, a moment later, Emmanuel appeared, standing right behind

Roselynn. Hank’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he instinctively took a

step back.

“Darling, what’s wrong?” Violet, noticing Hank’s sudden change in demeanor,

turned to ask him.

You… you said they were nobodies!” Hank stammered, his voice rising. “These

aren’t small fries–they’re a pair of whales!”

“W–What?!” Violet’s smug expression vanished in an instant. Seeing the fear

on Hank’s face and hearing his words, her arrogance drained away

completely.

In the past, every time Violet called on Hank to settle a matter, he handled

things with ease, which led her to believe that she could act as she pleased.

She had assumed Hank was an unstoppable figure in Zovince. But now, it

seemed there were people even Hank was afraid of–people they had

foolishly confronted.

How could these two be so powerful and still bother running a shop? she

thought, her confidence crumbling.

Here to cause trouble, hmm, Hank?” Emmanuel asked coldly, his tone as icy

as his gaze.

Hank quickly waved his hands in denial, beads of sweat forming on his brow

as he forced a smile. “No, no! I heard you were opening a new store today. I

came specifically to congratulate you!”

“Congratulate?” Emmanuel sneered, holding up his hands in a mock gesture.

“And your way of congratulating my sister’s new store is with ‘two fists full of

trouble‘?”

“This… I…” Hank stammered, unsure of how to respond. In a panic, he reached

over and yanked the necklace off Violet’s neck, awkwardly grinning as he

handed it to Roselynn.

Darling, are you crazy?! That’s the White Sands necklace! It’s insanely

expensive!” Violet shrieked in protest.

“Shut up!” Hank snapped at her before turning back to Roselynn with a wide,

strained grin. “Ms. Roselynn, this necklace is called ‘White Sands.‘ It perfectly

matches your name. I brought it as a gift to celebrate your grand opening!”

Roselynn chuckled at the absurdity of the situation. Then again, how could

she refuse a diamond necklace for free? With a smile, she accepted the

necklace, then teasingly asked, “You’re not just backing down because my

brother’s here today, are you? Planning to come back later when we’re alone

and cause more trouble?”

Emmanuel’s glare intensified, fixing Hank with a deathly stare. The sheer

pressure of it made Hank’s blood run cold. This wasn’t a threat–this was a

warning, and the weight of it far surpassed anything he’d ever felt from

wain.

Hank, now visibly trembling, shook his head frantically. “No! Absolutely not! I

Violet, still oblivious to the severity of the situation, didn’t seem to fully grasp

why Hank was so terrified. But Hank, who had witnessed firsthand

Emmanuel’s merciless rampage in Eldoria, knew better. After returning to

Zovince, Hank had avoided crossing paths with Roselynn specifically to avoid

invoking Emmanuel’s wrath. Gwain might have been strong, but Hank knew

hat even Gwain couldn’t guarantee victory against Emmanuel. Messing with

Emmanuel’s sister? That was just inviting disaster.

“Alright then,” Roselynn said, her tone light. “I believe you came here to

congratulate me on my new store. I’ll accept your gift. Now, you may leave.”

“Yes, yes! Thank you, Ms. Roselynn! Goodbye, Mr. Lowe!” Hank, still bowing and

scraping, quickly ushered Violet out of the store.

Outside, the onlookers were growing restless, whispering among themselves

as they eyed the black curtains still draped over Quillenrose’s storefront.

“What do you think? Is anything in that shop still intact?”

“Huh, I bet the shop owner is either on her knees begging or lying flat on the

Moor.”

“Typical outsiders. They don’t understand how deep the waters run in

Zovince!”

Whispering Wanda, the nosy neighbor, was gloating the most. But when the

black curtains were pulled away, and the Quillenrose store emerged wholly

unscathed, her jaw nearly dropped. She was so shocked she almost bit her

tongue.

To everyone’s surprise, Hank and Violet slunk out of the store, looking utterly

defeated. The same Hank and Violet who had previously crushed anyone

who dared to cross them now walked away with their tails between their

legs. The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes.

“What… What kind of people run that shop?” Whispering Wanda muttered in

disbelief, mustering the courage to take a closer look at Roselynn. But before

she could get too close, she caught Emmanuel’s sharp gaze. The intensity of

his stare was so terrifying she let out a scream and fell to the ground,

scrambling to get away, terrified beyond words.

Who is that man? she thought as she fled. His malice is overwhelming!
