Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 882 Ashton Sought Emmanuel Out

Ashton hated Nathan’s guts as well. In her opinion, not only was he a weakling, he was also a good-for-

nothing.

Despite being a part of a powerful family, that family had nurtured him with care since childhood and even let him learn from experts, and he remained mediocre after all these years.

She only admired mature and charismatic men like Sage, not a weakling who slept around with women. She wouldn’t fall for a man in the first place if the man couldn’t dominate her.

She attended the banquet with two goals. First, she heard that Nathan had taken Xylie in. So, she wanted to bring Xylie back to Yeringham. Second, she was told that Emmanuel also attended the banquet, so she planned to meet up with him.

Earlier today, she tried to persuade Nathan to hand Xylie over. As expected, he refused, which explained her cold attitude toward him a moment ago.

Ashton had returned to the banquet hall and found Emmanuel alone in a corner, looking out of place.

He only attended the banquet to wait for Nathan’s signal, hoping to persuade that mysterious woman to give up competing with him. He had been waiting for Nathan’s cue all this time.
