Chapter 105


    “Haha! Your driver must have gotten the wrong person. How could I


    possibly be attacked? It’s more usible if your driver told you he saw me


    attacking someone,” Gautier denied.


    Without a doubt, he was never going to tell Mackenzie the truth. He was a


    man of dignity too.


    He had brought a group of men to mess with Emmanuel, but he had


    ended up getting pped by his target. If news of this were to spread, his


    reputation would be ruined.


    “Hmm, you’re right. How could you possibly be attacked, Mr. Gautier?


    Everyone knows that you have arge group of capable bodyguards no


    one can defeat.”


    Mackenzie’s words were loaded.


    Even though she had no evidence to prove that Gautier was behind those


    two incidents, she knew well that he was the mastermind.


    It was fine by her if Gautier denied that he had been attacked. The man


    was a predator, not a gossipmonger. He did not need to utter a word of


    “Anyway, thank you for your concern, Mackenzie. If you ever join the


    Verkade family, you’ll get to be under the Verkades‘ bodyguards‘


    protection too,” Gautier responded, still lying through his teeth about his


    sorry state.


    “Hrious. I won’t need your group of losers to protect me,” Mackenzie icily


    retorted before ending the call. She was not going to waste her breath on


    men like him.

    Gautier lowered his phone as the look in his eyes turned frigid. He felt that


    Mackenzie was mocking him and rubbing salt into his wound.


    He had a group of bodyguards by his side, but he had still lost to the one


    and only bodyguard she had. His reputation would be ruined if anyone


    were to hear about this.


    Gautier had never thought about the possibility of Emmanuel being


    Mackenzie’s husband. He just thought that Mackenzie had hired a


    pompous bodyguard.


    I’m going to kill that bodyguard of hers one day. Let’s see how long he can


    stay smug.


    By the time Emmanuel returned home at night, Mackenzie was already


    waiting at home for him.


    “Did you hit someone when you went out this morning?”


    “Huh? Oh, you found out about it already?”


    Emmanuel had no ns to hide it or ask her how she found out about it


    either. She was a resident of Yociam Residence, so he was sure that she


    had many ways to find out about what went on in the neighborhood.


    “You must have lost your mind! Do you know who you hit?” Mackenzie


    questioned.


    “Gautier, I think,” was Emmanuel’s response.


    Mackenzieughed in exasperation. Is this what they mean when they say


    ignorant fools are fearless? Who else in Yeringham is capable of staying


    so calm after pping Gautier? That’s not something even I can do.


    Besides feeling angry, Mackenzie also found the man before her


    courageous.


    “You’ll be sending me to and fro work from tomorrow onward,” Mackenzie


    demanded abruptly.


    “What? Why?”


    Emmanuel blinked in confusion.


    “Is it that tough for you to send your wife to work?” Mackenzie asked, fixing


    her angry gaze on him.


    “No. I’m just confused. We’re going to be getting a divorce half a yearter,


    right? So is there really a need for us to cultivate our rtionship?”


    Emmanuel blurted out.


    He… Ugh!


    Mackenzie nearly stomped her feet at the peak of her anger. The


    agreement she had forced him to sign was now a weapon he used


    against her.


    “Didn’t your scooter break down? How are you going to travel to work


    without any vehicle?” Mackenzie snapped.


    Emmanuel nodded. Indeed, that was a problem he was facing.


    He had to take several transportations to reach his workce. It would be


    fine if it was only a day or two, but it was going tost for a while. It would


    be troublesome.
