Chapter 1193 Snatch the Heart of the Sun
“Sure.” Emmanuel nodded and increased his pace to climb up the mountain.
Meanwhile, at Willow, Mackenzie was seated in a room, looking a bit nervous.

Just moments ago, Gautler had brought her a pair of exquisite silver crystal shoes,
intending to put them on her himself.
After she declined, Gautier temporarily, left the room, leaving her to wonder about his
intentions.
“Mackenzie, we’re fortunate to have Mr. Gautier this time! You sure can depend on Gautier
in critical moments!” Lara sat beside her, constantly putting in good words for Gautier.
“Wait, what were you doing with him?” Mackenzie interrupted her, her gaze carrying a hint
of caution.
“Since returning to the country, I’ve discussed things with Gautier every day over
breakfast. When we heard that thugs were attacking our research lab this morning, Mr.
Gautier immediately took me there!” Lara answered promptly. “Mr. Gautier is also
incredibly insightful; he guessed that you would definitely take the Heart of the Sun away.
Since there were people waiting for you at the front door, he thought of going to the back
door, and sure enough, we ran into you! It’s both wisdom and fate!”
“I see.” Mackenzie was a woman with suspicions, and even though Lara appeared genuine

After all, who knew what Gautier had in mind by bringing her to the Verkade family’s
restaurant?
“Lara, lend me your phone!” Mackenzie reached her hand out. She had lost her phone
while escaping. If not for this, she would have already notified the Quillen family’s
bodyguards to come and pick her up.
“Mackenzie, who do you need to inform?” Lara said. “This is Mr. Gautier’s property, and
with him protecting you, it’s very safe!”
“Give it to me!” Mackenzie sternly demanded.
Lara had no choice but to hand over her phone, all the while muttering, “You’re not
thinking of calling Emmanuel, are you? You can’t depend on him! Gautier jumped in and
saved you when you were in danger earlier today, but what did your husband do?!”
Those words did sting Mackenzie’s heart. During the incident at the research building, she
had tried calling Emmanuel multiple times, but she couldn’t reach him. Although she knew
it wasn’t intentional on Emmanuel’s part, Lara’s remarks still made her inevitably angry.
“Mackenzie, give up on that man. Gautier loves you more than he does, and you are a
perfect match. He is the most suitable person for you!” Lara continued persuading. It
wasn’t until she felt Mackenzie’s icy gaze that she trembled slightly and dared not
continue.
Mackenzie certainly wouldn’t choose Gautier over Emmanuel just because of this incident,
but the consecutive events had indeed put her bad mood being with Emmanuel might

Mackenzie certainly wouldn’t choose Gautier over Emmanuel just because of this incident,
but the consecutive events had indeed put her in a bad mood. If this continued, the
resistance to her being with Emmanuel might grow stronger.
William, upon learning that his eldest son had brought Mackenzie to the Verkade family’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrestaurant from the Terence Tech Tower, hurried over.
Right then, the father and son were having a private conversation in another room.
“Gautier, tell me, what do you plan to do now?”
William’s expression was also somewhat serious, especially since he already learned that
the Heart of the Sun was currently in Mackenzie’s possession. If the Verkade family were
to act now to seize it, it would be absolutely effortless. Additionally, he was aware that
Gautier had obtained valuable data from Lara. Once the Verkade family got hold of the
Heart of the Sun, they would undoubtedly gain substantial commercial benefits in the
future.
“Nothing. I just want to have a nice meal with Mackenzie,” Gautier casually remarked.
William trembled slightly. “In such a good opportunity, you’re only thinking about the lady
and have no thoughts about the Heart of the Sun?!”
“I do,” Gautier admitted. “But our family is not like those robber organizations such as the
Holy Fire. Can we openly engage in the kind of forceful seizure they do?”
“I… Touche.” William, being a businessman himself, understood that a person’s identity
determined what they could and couldn’t do.
“As long as I can win Mackenzie’s heart, it’s definitely more valuable than obtaining the
Heart of the Sun,” Gautier said with a smirk, then walked out of the room.
William was proud of his eldest son.
In actuality, he had come fearing that Gautier might not be able to resist the temptation of
the Heart of the Sun and would seize the opportunity to snatch it.
