Love At The Wrong Table

Aqua’s Second Chance

“No! I don’t want another chance. Just execute me! Just let my mother live!” Aqua

shook her head desperately, fully aware of what Yasmine meant by ‘another chance!

“You’re such a silly girl. Didn’t I tell you before? Why do you have feelings for a group of

unrelated people?” Yasmine sighed as she lifted Aqua’s chin again. “As long as you

complete the task, we can ensure a wealthy life for you and your mother. Didn’t your

crippled mother live in a mansion after you completed the last task? The Airspace

Group always keeps its promises.”

“No! I don’t want it!” Aqua continued to shake her head vigorously. Mr. Emmanuel had

been so good to her, protecting her time and again. If she betrayed him, she would be

worse than an animal! Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Take this!” Yasmine forcefully placed a small bottle of medicine into Aqua’s hand,

coldly threatening, “Your mother’s life depends on your actions in the next two days. If

Emmanuel is still alive by the time of the final your mother will not survive. Choose

wisely!”

Aqua held the bottle, looking as though she wished for death. She had to choose

between Mr. Emmanuel’s life and her mother’s, a decision that tore her apart.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel was busy further ‘brainwashing‘ the representatives of various

forces. Ironskull approached him, whispering, “Mr. Emmanuel, that woman Aqua is

missing again! She must be up to something!”

Emmanuel had long known Aqua was problematic but still smiled and reassured

Ironskull, “I sent her on an errand. Don’t be so suspicious.”

Seeing their boss still protecting that woman, Ironskull could only feel frustration and

anger. Ostrich and TriSec both believed that Mr. Emmanuel’s weakness for women was

a significant flaw, questioning whether a man with such a trait could achieve great

things.

With his current power, Mr. Emmanuel could easily open the curfewed stone gate like

Rhett Flynn. After the representatives of the other tribes left, Mr. Emmanuel turned his

attention to Claudette Lenoir’s condition.

“Mr. Emmanuel, who is she to you?” Aurora, now Mr. Emmanuel’s right–hand woman in

Aqua’s absence, asked as she saw the complex and tender look in his eyes while he

gazed at Claudette.

“Sigh!” Mr. Emmanuel sighed, giving a bitter smile. “I don’t even know how to define my

relationship with her. All I know is that she is an extremely important woman to me.”

“Oh!” Aurora, experienced from being someone’s concubine, teased with a smile, “So, is

she your concubine?”

Mr. Emmanuel chuckled and shook his head. “No.”

Aurora, sensing she had ventured into sensitive territory, changed the subject. “What

exactly is wrong with her?”

“She’s been forcibly made to forget everything and is under deep hypnosis, making it

hard for her to wake up,” Emmanuel replied directly.

The ‘Divine Valley Medical Records‘ contained methods to break hypnosis, but since he

hadn’t memorized them, Emmanuel couldn’t solve it now. He believed that if he could

get the book, he could break Claudette’s hypnosis.

As for restoring her memory, that was another challenge entirely. Modern science

suggested that memories could not be entirely erased. There was always a chance

they could be triggered, but who knew how advanced the black technology the

Airspace Group possessed was?

“Claudette, wait for me! Once we return, I’ll do everything I can to restore you!”

Emmanuel gently held her hand, speaking softly, “I will bring back your pure and joyful

smile.”

Seeing the tenderness in Mr. Emmanuel’s eyes, Aurora couldn’t help but feel a bit

envious of the amnesiac woman. Wasn’t this the kind of pure emotion every woman

longed for?

“Mr. Emmanuel, Aqua is back!” Suddenly, Ironskull and Ostrich reported, their eyes filled

with anger and suspicion.

Emmanuel understood their feelings and knew this issue couldn’t be avoided any

longer. He couldn’t continue to protect Aqua just because he was their boss.

“Bring her in!”

“Yes, Mr. Emmanuel!”

In no time, Aqua was brought in.

“Mr. Emmanuel, you wanted to see me?” She tried to act normal, but when she met Mr.
