Love At The Wrong Table

D

Milani often reflected on the hardships her parents faced while raising her,

which was why she always tried to avoid causing trouble. However, who

would have expected her mother, Melody Claus, to become increasingly

demanding? Over time, she had asked for more and more!

Initially, her plan was to marry into a wealthy family, secure a substantial

amount of money, and give it all to her family. This would ultimately free her

from the burden of feeling indebted.

However, things took an unexpected turn. Emmanuel and Mackenzie

sabotaged her wedding, leaving her unmarried, without any money, and utterly humiliated.

After that, she sought wealthy heirs and successful businessmen, attending

numerous social events and even spending nights with several affluent men.

She encountered men with all sorts of perverse desires.

Some bound her, others hung her upside down, and a few even made her

She endured all of it, her body marked with scars and her self–esteem

shattered.

However, none of these men were willing to marry her. They viewed her as

nothing more than a plaything for their entertainment!

Eventually, she came to terms with two harsh realities.

First, wealthy men had a plethora of women to choose from, and simply

being attractive wasn’t sufficient to secure a marriage to a rich family.

Secondly, women lost value as they aged. As she grew older, the men who once showered her with attention turned their backs on her. Now, even if she

were ready to accept less, nobody showed interest in her.

Today, she found herself at this banquet not because of any special

connections, but because she had embraced her identity as a call girl.

“Milani, speak up!”

Jacob yelled furiously, “Our family has supported you all this time, and now

you want to sever ties so easily? Don’t you have any shame? Do you even

know what filial piety means?”

“Enough! Shut up!”

Milani had reached her breaking point and slapped him, the one she had

deeply cared for over the years.

Her unexpected action left everyone in the banquet hall stunned.

Emmanuel, who had just reached the tenth floor, raised his eyebrows in

disbelief. He could hardly believe his eyes.

The once–compliant sister just slapped her brother! Has the world gone

crazy?

“Milani! How dare you hit me? Have you lost your mind?” Jacob shouted, his

face contorted with rage.

Milani jabbed a finger at him and shouted angrily, “Jacob, listen upl I might

owe everyone else, but I don’t owe you! I’m not obligated to support you, but

do you have any idea how much money you’ve taken from me all these

years? It’s enough to cover all your wedding expenses!” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You…” Jacob struggled to find a response.

Milani continued to unleash her frustration, shouting, “You have Mom, Dad,

and a sister to help you get married, but what about me? Who ever cared if I

could marry? Why does the daughter have to humiliate herself while the son

is treated like royalty? I’ve had enough! Starting today, I’m living for myself!”

“You!” Jacob was seething with anger but couldn’t find the words, so he lifted

his fist in exasperation.

“Step aside!” Suddenly, a chilling voice interrupted from behind, “You’re in my

way!”

Jacob turned at the sound and encountered Emmanuel’s menacing gaze,

startling him so much that he jumped to the side with a yelp.

He thought Emmanuel was going to beat him up; no, it felt as if he intended

to kill him!

Milani also shuddered slightly, surprised by the unexpected encounter with

this man.

He has changed a lot!

Now, he is cool and commanding, clearly someone at the top of the

hierarchy!

If she had known he would rise to such a powerful position, she would have

accepted the marriage proposal when they were first introduced. Now, her

regret was so intense that it made her stomach churn!

“Emmanuel?”

Emmanuel’s shift in looks and aura was striking. Jacob took a moment to identify him.

Emmanuel had no desire to engage with them and made his way directly

But Jacob couldn’t resist taunting him, “What are you doing here? The Quillen

family is finished, and your support is gone. Are you here to cozy up to

another rich woman?”

Emmanuel furrowed his brow slightly and paused in his tracks.

“Haha, did I hit a nerve?”

Jacob assumed Emmanuel had dressed impeccably to impress women,

completely unaware of the status he now held.

Convinced that Emmanuel wouldn’t challenge him in this setting, Jacob persisted with his taunts. “You’d better watch out. The Verkade family has become the most influential family in Yeringham. As the son–in–law of the Quillen family, aren’t you just asking for trouble by showing up here?”

“Oh, do you have some insider knowledge
