Chapter 1250 Deeper Motive


    Gautier’s arrangement today was incredibly clever. Needless to say, the setting was beautiful.


    Moreover, the dining area was strategically ced in a public space, yet far enough from other


    customers.


    This way, there were plenty of people around who could observe them and witness their reactions, but


    couldn’t overhear their conversation.


    “Mr. Verkade, I apologize. You spoke for quite a while just now. I can’t recall what you said. What


    exactly is your position?” Emmanuel apologized.


    Mackenzie couldn’t help but smile. Emmanuel was clearly mocking the other party’s pretentiousness. If


    Gautier truly wanted to make friends, he wouldn’t need to showcase such a lengthy title in his


    introduction.


    Emmanuel’s little trick seemed to have exposed Gautier.


    “Mr. Lowe, just call me Gautier.”


    “I’m Emmanuel Lowe, the current Deputy Head of the Business Department at Terence Group, and the


    husband of the CEO of Terence Group. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Emmanuel mimicked Gautier’s


    words, even prolonging his introduction before shaking hands with him.


    Gautier’s charming smile became slightly strained, but he calmly withdrew his hand.


    Then, he snapped his fingers. Soon, several formally dressed waiters brought forth avish and


    romantic meal.


    “Mr. Verkade, you’ve truly gone to great lengths. Isn’t this the Westeria romantic meal? As uninvited


    guests, are Beatrix and I intruding on your careful preparations?” Emmanuel’s words were cutting.


    Gautier clearly intended to have a romantic meal alone with Mackenzie. No man could tolerate


    someone else making advances towards his wife in this manner, including Emmanuel.


    If he had known Gautier’s intentions, he would not have epted Mackenzie’s invitationst night.


    Instead, he would have reluctantly agreed to her invitation to the boxing ring.


    Mackenzie rarely witnessed Emmanuel behaving this way. However, she thoroughly enjoyed seeing his


    current demeanor.


    Beatrix watched the scene with great interest. In fact, she came here to witness the sh between


    Emmanuel and Gautier. The spectacle of two men vying for a woman was too thrilling.


    “How could that be?” Gautier, a highly educated MIT graduate who had studied psychology, was not so


    easily thrown off by Emmanuel. He still smiled charmingly and said, “Our restaurant has a particr


    style. Please don’t overthink it, Mr. Lowe.”


    The implication was that Emmanuel shouldn’t be so petty.


    Nevertheless, it was impossible for Emmanuel not to overthink it.


    You have confessed your feelings to my wife several times. I have tried to convince myself that you are


    trying to do business with her. However, you openly make advances towards her. How can I bear it?


    On the contrary, Mackenzie was still pondering what Gautier would say. She interrupted, “Emmanuel,


    Mr. Verkade knows I’m your wife. How could he pursue me? Choose your words carefully.”


    “I suppose so.” Although Emmanuel was angry, he still cooperated with Mackenzie. He nodded and


    said, “However,


    Mr. Gautier’s brother has attempted to drug my wife on multiple asions. I’m genuinely concerned.”


    Gautier was no pushover either. Not only was he unembarrassed, but he also took the initiative to raise


    his ss to


    Emmanuel. “If such a thing has urred, I sincerely apologize. On behalf of Hubert, I apologize to both


    of you.”


    Emmanuel observed his expression for a moment before raising his ss.


    In reality, he had another motive for deliberately provoking Gautier, which was to intentionally test him.


    Now, it appeared that Gautier not only desired Mackenzie’s beauty but also genuinely wanted to


    coborate with the Quillen family.


    Emmanuel wondered what his deeper motive was.


    The onlookers couldn’t help but discuss the scene they had witnessed.


    Among them, some had witnessed the previous incident where Emmanuel pped Gautier. They


    couldn’t help but wonder how they were so harmonious today.


    They still hoped to see Emmanuel and Gautier fight again, and for Gautier to finally lose his temper and


    have his bodyguards rush up to teach that arrogant man a lesson.


    Nevertheless, they maintained a facade of conversation andughter in front of Mackenzie. It was


    unbelievable.


    They wondered if one of them had abandoned Mackenzie, and they became friends after the


    argument.


    If that were true, it would be overly dramatic.


    “After the toast, Gautier maintained his pleasant and graceful demeanor as he greeted the guests,

    saying, ‘Everyone, please enjoy your meal.”


    Beatrix was astonished. Does Mr. Gautier truly feel satisfied with being sidelined?


    “Mr. Gautier, let’s cut to the chase.”
