Chapter 647
“I know him–he’s Emmanuel Lowe! He used to be a doctor at Beacon
Hospital, and he also worked part–time as a legal counsel for Terence Group.
However, he’s unemployed now. He’s nothing but a poor wretch!” Richie
revealed with disdain and mockery.
He hadn’t had much information on Emmanuel until Roselynn took away his
good wine. Brooding, he eventually went to his father for information on the
Lowe family.
Lo and behold, the young man showed up before him a few days later!
Indeed, fate knew how to bring people together.
Richie thought he wouldn’t be able to get over Roselynn taking away his fine
wine unless he humiliated Emmanuel for good.
“What? He’s jobless?!” Marianne hit the roof at once. “Tia Poole, I don’t care if
he’s your boyfriend. Cut ties with him at once and tell him to get lost!”
Tia was stuck in a dilemma. It was her idea to use Emmanuel as a scapegoat,
so how could she let him leave in such humiliation?!

grimly, putting pressure on Tia.
The young woman had always been a good girl who listened to her mother.
This time, though, she wouldn’t comply no matter what.
Finally, Cain stepped in and advised pretentiously, “Relax, Mrs. Poole. Ms. Poole
is still young and might prefer free love over arranged matchmaking, which is
why she brought someone to sabotage it on purpose.”
Struck with an epiphany, Marianne immediately said, “That’s right, my
daughter confirmed with me a few days ago that she didn’t have a
boyfriend. That was why I arranged this blind date. This man is definitely
someone she paid to act as a scapegoat!”
“Tknew it.” Gillian chuckled. “Your daughter’s quite attractive. There’s no way
she’d be interested in some jobless guy.”
Their humiliation toward Emmanuel made Tia angry yet helpless, and she
trembled all over.
“Alright, Tia, that’s enough. Pay this man and tell him to get lost!” Marianne
continued to pressure her daughter.
Richie was amused, laughing at Emmanuel for bringing humiliation upon
himself by coming when even Tia’s mother sided with his family.
Meanwhile, the man in question remained silent. Indeed, he had been asked
to come as Tia’s scapegoat, but the Unger family pissed him off. They acted
superior just because they had a bit of money, looking down on others! Little
did they know there were many others in the world who were much wealthier
and more influential than them!
“No, Mom! He’s my boyfriend! I don’t want to go on blind dates anymore!”
She could ignore the Unger family’s humiliation of Emmanuel since she didn’t
know them well, but she was livid that even her mother would humiliate
Emmanuel along with them. Hence, for the first time, she openly defied her
mother.
“You!” Marianne was momentarily at a loss for words.
As Tia was about to leave with Emmanuel, Cain, being the cunning person he
was, quickly spoke up. “Tia, don’t get agitated. Whether he’s your boyfriend or
not, since we’ve all gathered here today, let’s just have a meal and become
friends!”

The Unger family wouldn’t benefit from anything if Tia left with Emmanuel just
like that. Ultimately, they would be the ones who’d lose out and become
embarrassed.
Hence, it was a no–brainer to keep Tia there and make her see that Richie
was a thousand times better than Emmanuel. With that, she would
eventually break up with Emmanuel and hook up with Richie. That way, they
would gain pride, and Richie would feel accomplished and superior.
“That’s right, Tia. Let’s eat.” Richie also understood his father’s intentions
immediately after catching the latter’s gaze, making sure they at least had
this dinner down first.
Emmanuel, on the other hand, thought the old fox was indeed sly.
He also wanted to leave at once, for he feared that his cousin would lose his
chances once Tia and Richie’s blind date turned out successful.
Tia, however, didn’t dare confront them directly and instead went along with
the situation when the Unger family gave her an out, even though she knew
deep down that staying with Emmanue
