Chapter 1250 Deeper Motive
Gautier’s arrangement today was incredibly clever. Needless to say, the setting was beautiful.
Moreover, the dining area was strategically placed 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.

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 accepted Mackenzie’s invitation last 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 clash 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 particular
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.

40%.
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 occasions. I’m genuinely concerned.”
Gautier was no pushover either. Not only was he unembarrassed, but he also took the initiative to raise
his glass to
Emmanuel. “If such a thing has occurred, I sincerely apologize. On behalf of Hubert, I apologize to both
of you.”
Emmanuel observed his expression for a moment before raising his glass.
In reality, he had another motive for deliberately provoking Gautier, which was to intentionally test him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, it appeared that Gautier not only desired Mackenzie’s beauty but also genuinely wanted to
collaborate 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 slapped 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 and laughter 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.”
