Chapter 2
After turning right at the door, Emmanuel finally found
table number eight in the common dining area.
Sure enough, a woman was seated at the table,
looking like she was running out of patience.
Dressed in professional attire that accentuated her
beautiful curves, she was, by all means, a sight to
behold.
Even though she didn’t exude the same air of elegance
that Mackenzie had, there was no denying she had the
power to make men fall at her feet.
Thankfully, Emmanuel wasn’t disappointed in the
slightest. After all, he was well aware of his own
qualities.
Without further ado, he straightened himself up and
approached the woman with a smile.
“Sorry I’m late! My name’s Emmanuel Lowe. I’m
twenty-eight years old, and I work as a gynecologist
with an annual salary of eighty thousand-”
“Stop!” the woman coldly interrupted before he could
finish his introduction. “What’s the meaning of this?
With what little you have to offer, do you seriously think
women would want to marry you? I can’t believe you

even had the nerve to be late! What right do you have
to keep a woman waiting? This has been an utter
waste of my time. Hmph!”
After firing off a barrage of questions, the red-faced
woman angrily splashed a gla*s of water on
Emmanuel’s face.
The latter, who was caught off guard, instantly
became soaking wet.
Nevertheless, Emmanuel didn’t lose his temper. After
all, he was indeed late because he went to the wrong
place, so he could understand why the woman was
upset.

“Hmph. You’re twenty-eight and still only earning
eighty-thousand a year. No wonder you’re doing so
poorly! Not only do you lack punctuality, but you also
don’t seem to take life seriously. You’re doomed to be
at the bottom of the social hierarchy your entire life!
I’m shocked you even have the guts to go on a blind
date with me… Stop being delusional!” the woman
scolded as she shot Emmanuel a look of contempt.
The next second, she grabbed her bag and stormed
off, not once bothering to leave her name.
To add insult to injury, she even waved a wad of cash
in front of Emmanuel’s face, then slapped it hard on
the table as payment for the bill.

The latter’s gaze darkened instantly as rage began
pulsing through his veins.
This woman is humiliating me! I may not have high
expectations for marriage, but that doesn’t mean I
don’t have a temper! Argh! As much as I want to make
her regret her actions, I know I don’t have that
capability…
Since the woman was gone, Emmanuel, too, left the
café glumly.
To his surprise, he had only just stepped out the door
when he saw a long-haired man deliberately colliding
into a BMW and screaming in pain.
Emmanuel couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Oh, gosh.
That man is clearly staging a car accident. Why is
there so much trouble in this café today?
“Ah! Someone’s been hit!”
“Argh! My leg’s broken! Murderer!”
Four men immediately rushed out to join the
commotion when the long-haired man fell on t
ground.
Those guys must be the co-conspirators!
Just then, a young lady hastily exited the BMW, clad in
a maroon sleeveless dress that revealed a large
expanse of tender, fair skin.
With her long, shapely legs and her cleavage peeking
out from the neckline, there was no denying that she
was incredibly S**y and alluring.
“What’s the matter? How could I have injured your leg
when I was driving so slowly?” she asked anxiously.
Seconds later, the long-haired man’s buddies
surrounded the woman, demanding compensation.
“Cut the crap! Pay up! Pay up now!”
Several people in the café had witnessed the staged
accident, but unfortunately, they were so afraid of the
big, burly men that no one dared to confront them.
“How much do you guys want?” the woman muttered
helplessly, having resigned herself to the fact that
she’d have to settle the matter with money.
The group of thugs, however, began leering at her
bosom and drooling over her.
“Haha. Hey, S**y, why don’t you have some fun with
us?” one of the men suggested as he shamelessly
tugged at her dress.
Just like that, what had started as a staged accident
