Chapter 1264 Let Go of My Wife

“Lara, shut up!” Mackenzie glared at Lara,

After all, there was a saying about keeping family matters private. Lara’s words risked embroiling not

only herself but also Emmanuel and the entire Quillen family in unnecessary controversy.

What was the truth, and did they even know about it?

“Mackenzie! Fine, I won’t speak. But you’ve got to listen to what everyone else is saying. Stop being so

stubborn!” Lara’s defiance was evident in her tone, though her words seemed to imply there was more

than met the eye.

Mackenzie’s expression turned colder by the second, like an iceberg. She clenched her fists in

frustration at her sister’s words.

“Lara, stop making things difficult for Mackenzie! Just shut it!”

Just as Lexi and Beatrix pondered Mackenzie’s next move, a sudden roar filled the room.

Even Ashton was taken aback by Gautier’s unexpected support for Mackenzie in such a critical

moment.

All attention shifted toward the man as he clutched his arm. His complexion was paling with pain. “I

stand by Mackenzie’s decision-”

But before he could finish, he faltered and collapsed to the ground.

“Mr. Verkade!”

“Mr. Gautier!”

“Gautier!”

A group of people surrounded Gautier, and the scene immediately became chaotic.

Mackenzie found herself trapped in a dilemma. Her expression reflected the complexity of her

emotions.

Uncertainty gnawed at her as she pondered Gautier’s motives. It felt like she stood on a pedestal

without a means of descent, as if the ladder had been yanked away from beneath her.

“Mackenzie!!”

Lara’s enraged cry pierced the air, tears cascading down her cheeks. “At a crucial moment, it was

Gautier who courageously stepped forward to shield you from the bullet He’s even willing to confront

the heiress of the Silverbane family for your sake. Can Emmanuel do that? Can he facilitate our

family’s entry into the chamber of commerce or secure a 450 million deal for us? No! He pales in

comparison to Gautier in every aspect. Please, open your eyes and see the truth!”

Lara’s words seemed to stab at Mackenzie’s heart.

Beatrix was taken aback by Lara dropping her accent when her emotions surged. Beatrix wondered if it

had been

an act all along.

Mackenzie willed herself to maintain composure, ignoring Lara’s plea. Yet, amidst the turmoil, her

concern for Gautier couldn’t be ignored. Everyone present knew he had been injured while shielding

her from harm.

“Mr. Verkade, hang on. Do you need to go to the hospital?”

“Mackenzie, I… I’m fine…” Gautier’s eyes fluttered open. His grasp on her delicate hand tightened as a

foolish smile graced his lips. “Promise me, alright?”

Mackenzie was utterly stunned. She felt like a marionette with strings wound tightly around her,

rendering her

unable to move and entirely under the control of others.

Gautier’s reputation as the esteemed genius of the Yeringham business community proved well-

founded as his gentle persuasion rendered her defenseless against his will.

On the sidelines, Ashton shook her head in disbelief at the unfolding drama. She couldn’t help but

think, What a

mess! It looks like Emmanuel has been backed into a corner by this Verkade.

“Let go of my wife!”

Just as Mackenzie was teetering on the edge of confrontation with the Verkade family, a commanding

voice

shattered the silence.

The voice resonated like a thunderclap and sent shivers down the spines of those present.

“Emmanuel?”

“Emmanuel!”

The exclamations echoed from Ashton, Beatrix, and Lexi, all voicing their surprise at the sight of the

man.

Mackenzie’s starry eyes flickered, mirroring the intensity of Emmanuel’s presence. He was a tempest in

her eyes, accompanied by flashes of light and thunder.

At that moment, a storm brewed within the man.

“I said, let go of my wife!”

He strode toward Gautier with a commanding presence, causing the crowd to make way for him. His

gaze bore into Gautier, brimming with suppressed rage.

No man could endure another holding his wife’s hand in nublic and Emmanuel was no exception

No man could endure another holding his wife’s hand in public, and Emmanuel was no exception.

Yet, Gautier refused to release his grip. He thought, Why should I yield to him?

He, too, loved Mackenzie, and the majority supported their relationship. The public opinion in

Yeringham favored their union. What did he have to fear? What did he stand to lose? Thus, he held

firm. After all, to relent would rende all his prior efforts futile. Would enduring those bullets have been

for naught?

“You’re asking for trouble!”
