However, Derrick continued, “Magnus the genius, one of Zovince’s Four Geniuses!
Everyone knows him! Unfortunately, he doesn’t know me, haha…”
Emmanuel fell silent at that.
Nevertheless, he didn’t think Derrick was lying, judging by his demeanor. It seems like
Mackenzie and I have been overly suspicious.
After conversing with Derrick for a while, Emmanuel left the Commerce Department’s
partitioned office and was about to check in on Frederick and Ryder when he came face to
face with a man and a woman as he passed through the lobby.
The man was about Emmanuel’s height, tall and handsome, with a well-groomed
appearance that exuded elegance. The woman had a larger frame, was wearing NIKE flats,
and was approximately 5 feet and seven inches tall. She was enthusiastically chatting with
the man, evidently showing fondness for
him.
Emmanuel stopped in his tracks, and the two of them also halted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Why are you here, Gautier?” Emmanuel asked with a frown.
This was Terence Group’s number-one business rival in Yeringham. He couldn’t understand
why Gautier would be strolling around the Terence Group’s premises.
“Who are you? What’s it to you?!” The woman immediately defended Gautier, coldly
retorting to Emmanuel.
On the other hand, Gautier wore a charming smile and extended his hand toward
Emmanuel. “Hello, Emmanuel! We meet again!”
Emmanuel gave a cold smile in return. “The last time I checked, we’re not friends. In fact, I
even punched you last time. Your generosity now makes me think you’re up to
something!”
The last time they crossed paths was outside Yociam Residence, where Emmanuel had
slapped Gautier in the face a few times due to an attempted assassination of Mackenzie.
Emmanuel refused to believe Gautier would be so generous; he suspected there was more
to Gautier’s seemingly friendly demeanor.
“What?!”
Before Gautier could respond, Lara, standing next to him, exclaimed incredulously, staring
fixedly at Emmanuel.
“So, you’re Emmanuel, and you’ve even hit Gautier?!”
Her expression suggested Emmanuel had committed a grave offense.
In her eyes, Gautier was the pride of heaven-a domineering CEO and the Prince Charming
of many women. In contrast, Emmanuel, though good-looking, couldn’t compare to
Gautier in terms of temperament.
She certainly couldn’t accept the fact that Eminanuel had assaulted Gautier!
“That’s right.” Emmanuel didn’t recognize Lara because she looked nothing like Mackenzie
or her other sisters, and he certainly couldn’t have guessed that she was the younger
cousin Mackenzie mentioned to her, for she was just like Derrick-too mature for their age.
“You… You jerk!” Lara was ready to take action, seeing that he dared admit it so brazenly.
If it were Hubert, he would likely have already sniggered from the back by now. Even if
Lara was no match for Emmanuel, it would still be a chance to upset him a bit. However,
Gautier gently pulled her back, calmly saying, “Lara, it’s normal for men to duel over a
woman. I won’t let a woman fight my battles for me.”
Lara stopped, feeling even more captivated by Gautier’s charm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmmanuel chuckled silently. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. Gautier and Magnus
were both pseudo-gentlemen.
“Emmanuel, you asked me why I’m here. I’ll answer now.” Gautier, undeterred by
Emmanuel’s lack of a handshake, extended his hand again. “I’m here to pursue your wife.
Since you’re my senior, please guide me and tell me some of Mackenzie’s interests so that
I can take better care of her in the future!’
Emmanuel was momentarily stunned but soon burst into laughter. He knew Gautier was a
tougher nut to crack than Hubert, but he hadn’t expected him to be even more shameless
than his younger brother, openly admitting to pursuing someone else’s wife.
This was undoubtedly the most humiliating challenge Emmanuel had ever received.
Slap!
Emmanuel delivered another slap, landing on Gautier’s face, which turned to its side due
to the
momentum.
It happened so suddenly that Gautier couldn’t even react in time, and Lara was stupefied
even more so.
She already couldn’t accept it when she heard Emmanuel had assaulted Gautier, so to see
Emmanuel slap Gautier now, she thought her whole world was tearing apart.
How can this happen? How can there be something so dark and absurd in this world?
