Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 48 Magnus the Genius

“Yes, Colin Tanner,” Xylle said softly, her head lowered, her eyes glimmering

with a touch of sadness. “After we returned from Yeternia, the Tanner family

took me back to Zovince. That’s when I met my uncle, Teddy, He was very

kind to me, always wearing a gentle smile. It was he who told me that I was

the daughter of his late brother, Colin.”

Emmanuel didn’t interrupt her story, even though he didn’t believe Teddy was

as benevolent as he appeared. He just wanted to hear the full story first.

“Twenty years ago, there was a tragedy within the Tanner family,” Xylie

continued. “My father was killed under mysterious circumstances, but before

his death, he made arrangements to have me taken far away from Zovince

to Nuthana to escape our family’s enemies. Uncle Teddy later took control of

that I could come back and live a good life, the life my father would have

wanted for me.”

She finished the story, though it was clear she didn’t know all the details.

Emmanuel didn’t press her for more but instead asked, “Have you heard that

Teddy might have killed your father to take control of the family’s vast

empire?”

Xylie nodded slightly. “I’m not completely naive. Since returning to Zovince, I

haven’t had to go to school or work, and though I’ve been watched most of

the time, I’ve managed to learn a lot about the Tanner family. I’ve heard

whispers of what you just said, but I’ve kept my own opinion. Uncle Teddy has

shown me photos and records, proving that he and my father had a clase

relationship. He’s always been so kind to me that I find it hard to believe those

rumors.”

evidence of Teddy killing his brother. Even if there had been whispers back

then, no one had ever produced real proof.

“Is that what you wanted to tell me, Emmanuel?” Xylie asked, her curiosity

piqued. “Why are you in Zovince?”

Women, even shy and reserved ones, were always curious about the men

they admired, and Xylie was no different.

“One of the main reasons I’m here is to deal with Teddy Tanner,” Emmanuel

replied, not hiding his intentions.

“What?” Xylie’s eyes widened in shoek:

“Yes, I don’t believe Teddy is a good man, and we have a deeper grudge

Forget my opinion for a moment. What do you want?” Emmanuel looked at

her seriously.

1. I don’t know,” Xyle said, shaking her head, her heart inexplicably racing.

The truth was, the man she wanted to marry was standing right in front of

her, but he was already married. It was an impossible dream. So, in her mind,

it didn’t really matter whom she married.

Nathan wasn’t a bad person. Yes, he had a wandering eye, but his character

wasn’t terrible, and he wasn’t unattractive. She didn’t really mind the idea of

marrying him. But now, with Emmanuel’s disapproval, she didn’t know how to

spond.

Emmanuel found himself at a loss for words. Like most men, he wasn’t sure

how to handle it when a woman said, “I don’t know.”

“This engagement… it didn’t originally belong to me,” Xylie finally answered

Emmanuel’s first question. “The Chapman and Tanner families had been

planning a partnership for a while, but Yuna looked down on Nathan. She

didn’t think he was someone capable of great things or becoming a hero, so

she refused to marry him. That’s how the engagement fell to me.”

so that’s how it is…” Emmanuel nodded, confirming his earlier suspicions.

Xylie’s answer fit perfectly with what he had already guessed.

“Emmanuel, after talking with you today, I’ll definitely keep a closer eye on my

uncle Teddy. If he really is a bad person, I promise I won’t help him,” Xylie said,

offering her assurance.

“Thank you, Xylie,” Emmanuel smiled gratefully. “But when it comes to your

marriage, I still hope you can make your own decision. I wish for you to marry

the man you truly love and find happiness.”

“Mm…” Xylie nodded, then lowered her head shyly, her eyes stealing a gla

at Emmanuel, a soft sigh echoing in her heart. Will I ever be able to marry the

man I truly love?

After their conversation, Emmanuel prepared to leave the Chapman family’s

hospital. As for the marriage between Nathan and Xylie, he had made his

stance clear. Whether or not the two families went through with it was up to

them. If the alliance between the Chapman and Tanner families succeeded,

he would be unable to stop Catherine from becoming president. In that case,

his only remaining option would be to assassinate Teddy, avenging his fallen

comrades from the Wolf Warrior Unit.

Ashton seemed to still be with Nathan, so Emmanuel left the private hospital

alone. He intended to head back and video chat with his wife to check in on

the situation in the West End, but along the way, a black car suddenly

blocked his path. Emmanuel frowned. Even Levi wouldn’t dare stop him, so

who could it be? Moreover, the person seemed to have anticipated his route,

intercepting him on a nearly deserted road. Whoever it was, they were bound

to be troublesome.

When the car window rolled down, and he saw the familiar eyes of the

person inside, Emmanuel’s expression relaxed into a knowing smile. Suddenly,

it all made sense.

“Is that so? Now you’ve got me curious. What is this information you think I
