However, Derrick continued, “Magnus the genius, one of Zovince’s Four Geniuses! Everyone knows him! Unfortunately, he doesn’t know me, haha…” 

Emmanuel fell silent at that. 

Nevertheless, he didn’t think Derrick was lying, judging by his demeanor. It seems like Mackenzie and I have been overly suspicious. 

After conversing with Derrick for a while, Emmanuel left the Commerce Department’s partitioned office and was about to check in on Frederick and Ryder when he came face to face with a man and a woman as he passed through the lobby. 

The man was about Emmanuel’s height, tall and handsome, with a well-groomed appearance that exuded elegance. The woman had a larger frame, was wearing NIKE flats, and was approximately 5 feet and seven inches tall. She was enthusiastically chatting with the man, evidently showing fondness for 

him. 

Emmanuel stopped in his tracks, and the two of them also halted. 

“Why are you here, Gautier?” Emmanuel asked with a frown. 

This was Terence Group’s number-one business rival in Yeringham. He couldn’t understand why Gautier would be strolling around the Terence Group’s premises. 

“Who are you? What’s it to you?!” The woman immediately defended Gautier, coldly retorting to Emmanuel. 

On the other hand, Gautier wore a charming smile and extended his hand toward Emmanuel. “Hello, Emmanuel! We meet again!” 

Emmanuel gave a cold smile in return. “The last time I checked, we’re not friends. In fact, I even punched you last time. Your generosity now makes me think you’re up to something!” 

The last time they crossed paths was outside Yociam Residence, where Emmanuel had slapped Gautier in the face a few times due to an attempted assassination of Mackenzie. Emmanuel refused to believe Gautier would be so generous; he suspected there was more to Gautier’s seemingly friendly demeanor. 

“What?!” 

Before Gautier could respond, Lara, standing next to him, exclaimed incredulously, staring fixedly at Emmanuel. 

“So, you’re Emmanuel, and you’ve even hit Gautier?!” 

Her expression suggested Emmanuel had committed a grave offense. 

In her eyes, Gautier was the pride of heaven-a domineering CEO and the Prince Charming of many women. In contrast, Emmanuel, though good-looking, couldn’t compare to Gautier in terms of temperament. 

She certainly couldn’t accept the fact that Eminanuel had assaulted Gautier! 

“That’s right.” Emmanuel didn’t recognize Lara because she looked nothing like Mackenzie or her other sisters, and he certainly couldn’t have guessed that she was the younger cousin Mackenzie mentioned to her, for she was just like Derrick-too mature for their age. 

“You… You jerk!” Lara was ready to take action, seeing that he dared admit it so brazenly. 

If it were Hubert, he would likely have already sniggered from the back by now. Even if Lara was no match for Emmanuel, it would still be a chance to upset him a bit. However, Gautier gently pulled her back, calmly saying, “Lara, it’s normal for men to duel over a woman. I won’t let a woman fight my battles for me.” 

Lara stopped, feeling even more captivated by Gautier’s charm. 

Emmanuel chuckled silently. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. Gautier and Magnus were both pseudo-gentlemen. 

“Emmanuel, you asked me why I’m here. I’ll answer now.” Gautier, undeterred by Emmanuel’s lack of a handshake, extended his hand again. “I’m here to pursue your wife. Since you’re my senior, please guide me and tell me some of Mackenzie’s interests so that I can take better care of her in the future!’
