Chapter 104
Gautier had never thought that the other man would have the guts to hit
him, let alone slap him that roughly..
Right as he was about to enter an angry outburst, Emmanuel slapped him
with the back of his hand again.
Smack!
It was only after Emmanuel delivered two slaps to Gautier did he dusted
his hands in satisfaction.
Gautier felt deflated. He wanted to defend himself, but he could not, and
somehow, his anger was shoved out of him.
He fell silent, and he did not even wipe his blood away, letting the droplets
fall from his face.
All he did was glare at Emmanuel.
Emmanuel was unfazed. Glares could not kill, after all.
“Mr. Verkade, it’s time for me to head to work,” he said, then let out a sigh.
“If you had accepted my earlier suggestion, we would have been friends
by now. Why did you reject me?”
Gautier could only laugh in silence, but the look on his face turned icier
and icier as he watched Emmanuel leave with wide eyes.
Meanwhile, the driver who sent Mackenzie to work and was in the Bentley
had his jaw drop in shock.
Gautier hastily left. He did not want others to catch his unsightly
appearance.
Not long after that, Mackenzie emerged from her residential area.
The driver, Wally, quickly drove over to her.
Mackenzie furrowed her brows. “Why did you drive your car here?”
To hide her financial status, she had been instructing her driver to avoid
Emmanuel so that Emmanuel would not find out that she went to work in a
Bentley.
Wally quickly replied, “Ms. Quillen, Emmanuel has already gone to work. I
saw him leave with my own two eyes. He even slapped Mr. Verkade twice
before he left!”
“What?” Mackenzie stiffened. “He slapped Hubert?”
“No, Ms. Quillen. Not Mr. Hubert. It was… It was Mr. Gautier!” Wally informed
in a shaky voice.
“What?” Mackenzie grew even more agitated.
She had thought it was Hubert who had come again. Emmanuel knew that
Hubert was courting him, so she thought he was teaching Hubert a lesson
out of jealousy to stop him from harassing her.
As it turned out, she was completely wrong.
Mackenzie was in disbelief. She could not believe Emmanuel had actually
slapped the CEO of Verkade Group.
If the socialites of Yeringham find out about this, chaos is going to break
out! They’re all going to curse Emmanuel to death!
Even though Mackenzie yearned to beat Gautier up, she had never acted
on her thoughts. She did not expect Emmanuel to hit Gautier instead.
“Wally, why would Emmanuel hit Mr. Gautier?”
“My apologies, Ms. Quillen, but I don’t know either.”
Wally had only seen what happened. He did not know what went on
between Emmanuel and Gautier.
“All right, let’s head to my workplace, then.”
Once Mackenzie was in the Bentley, she called Gautier to find out what the
man was feeling at that moment.
To her knowledge, Gautier had a violent streak despite his attractive
appearance. She was certain that he had to be furious after getting This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
slapped by Emmanuel.
Yet, much to her surprise, Gautier sounded nonchalant when he picked up
the call. “Hey, Mackenzie, I don’t recall you ever calling me this early in the
morning. Is something the matter?”
“Mr. Gautier, where are you right now?” Mackenzie asked straightforwardly.
“Me? What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly worried about me? I’d think
that you have feelings for me if you keep this up.”
He’s joking at a time like this? Mackenzie drew her brows together. But if
Wally didn’t see the wrong person earlier, then I have to say that Gautier’s
one h*ll of an actor. He was just beaten up by Emmanuel at Yociam
Residence, but he sounds completely fine.

“Mr. Gautier, my driver told me that he saw you getting hit pretty badly by
the entrance of Yociam Residence earlier. As your business partner, I’m
concerned about you,” Mackenzie said honestly, wondering what Gautier
would answer her.
Is it possible that Gautier doesn’t know Emmanuel is my husband?
