Chapter 1141 Gautler’s n
Winona expressed her discontent at the dinner table,rmenting, “Gautier, you have truly disappointed
me this time! Have you forgotten what Mackenzie has done to Hubert? Yet, you still want to follow in
his footsteps and be that woman’sckey?”
William was also puzzled as he furrowed his brows after hearing her words.
However, he had great trust in Gautier and knew that he was not as naive as Hubert. He must have
had an ulterior motive behind his actions!
Gautier smiled gently and said, “Mom, it wasn’t Mackenzie who caused Hubert’s misery. It was
Emmanuel! Isn’t snatching his wife right under his nose and kicking him out of the Quillen family the
best form of revenge against thismoner?”
When he exined his actions, Winona’s anger subsided slightly,
Nevertheless, she continued, “Mackenzie is not just any woman. If she truly bes a part of our
Verkade family… Well, I will make her regret it! Hmph!”
Gautier stood up, walked over with a smile, and gently massaged Winona’s shoulders. “Mom, don’t get
angry. I will find a way to marry Mackenzie into the Verkade family and let you teach her a lesson.”
“Good. I’ll hold you to that promise!”
Winona Zelinsky’s eyes glinted with a brutal chill. She genuinely couldn’t wait for Gautier to seek
revenge for Hubert!
“Gautier,e with me to the study.”
William ced his cutlery aside and rose to his feet.
Gautier nodded and followed him away from the dining table, heading toward the study.
“Did Magnus ask you to do this?”
Once they entered the study, William immediately expressed his concerns.
The father and son’s private conversation could never be overheard by Winona. She was a member of
the Zelinsky family. So, it didn’t matter that they were family, as they were unsure of her true intentions.
In fact, William was also afraid that the Verkade family would follow in the footsteps of the Lenoir family.

Their families were simr. They both relied on the Zelinsky family as they rose to power.
However, the Verkade family was unlike the Lenoir family as they had gained a semnce of
independence due to their position within the business world.
On the other hand, the Lenoir family possessed nothing of the sort. Although General Lenoir was highly
respected
On the other hand, the Lenoir family possessed nothing of the sort. Although General Lenoir was highly
respected in the military, they were still puppets dancing to the tunes of their masters. They had no
financial independence and were a genuine vassal family to the Zelinsky family.
He would have to obey any orders he received from the Zelinsky family. Hence, he waspletely at
the mercy of his master.
“Yes, but it could also not be.”
Gautier’s answer was ambiguous.
William couldn’t force him to speak his mind by using his authority as Gautier’s elder. Instead, he could
only remind him, saying, “Magnus has always used us to deal with the Quillen family. I hope you can
see what has be of the Lenoir family and not follow in their footsteps.”
After Quintus was transferred, the Lenoir family’spany was promptly bought up.

Felicitypletely lost any semnce of power she had within the Quillen family.
Quintus had been missing ever since he left the Lenoir family; his whereabouts were unknown.
The once revered Lenoir family in Yeringham had practically vanished into thin air. This was the
tragedy of a vassal family-once they were of no value, they were treated as discarded pawns!
“Dad, I have a n in mind.”
Gautier smiled and said, “Isn’t Magnus utterly powerless against the Quillen family? If I can actually
marry Mackenzie, what can the Zelinsky family do against us within our home turf? We’d join forces,
the Quillen family and the Verkade family. We’d be unstoppable here.”
William also saw the ambition glinting in Gautier’s eyes and patted his shoulder before saying, “You’ve
always been far more outstanding than Hubert! You’re always there to pick up the pieces whenever
Hubert messes up. I believe that you won’t disappoint me!”
Several members of the Quillen family left the estate with their families around 9 p.m.
Beatrix was prepared to return to her room to take a shower and sleep. However, someone blocked her
path, causing her to almost run into a wall of flesh.
When she raised her head, she saw that the wall was none other than Lara.
The two had a significant height difference. Plus, they were in such close proximity that Beatrix had to
tilt her head up to stare at Lara.
“What are you doing? Why are you deliberately blocking my way?!”
“Hey, Beatrix. I always thought you were the stupidest among us all. Still, I didn’t expect your taste to
be as terrible as your intellect!”
“What are you trying to say here?”
Although Beatrix was smaller than Lara in terms of stature, she wasn’t about to back down without a
fight. Instead, she stood with her hands on her hips, facing Lara head-on.
“It seems like you really adore your brother-inw, huh? Don’t you think your taste is awful? How could
he possiblypare to my senior?”
