Chapter 1130 How Can This Happen?


    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 arger frame, was wearing NIKE ts, 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.


    “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. “Thest time I checked, we’re not friends. In fact, I even


    punched youst time. Your generosity now makes me think you’re up to something!”


    Thest time they crossed paths was outside Yociam Residence, where Emmanuel had pped


    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, eximed incredulously, staring fixedly at


    Emmanuel.

    “So, you’re Emmanuel, and you’ve even hit Gautier?!”


    Her expression suggested Emmanuel hadmitted 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’tpare to Gautier in terms of


    temperament.


    She certainly couldn’t ept 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.


    Emmanuel 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’sck 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 intoughter. 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.


    p!


    Emmanuel delivered another p,nding 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 ept it when she heard Emmanuel had assaulted Gautier, so to see Emmanuel


    p 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?
