Emmanuel’s eyes blazed with fury as he struck Gautier, causing him to tumble backward.

“Mr. Verkade!”

“Darn it! We can’t let this guy get away with it!”

After all, they were standing on Verkade family turf. How audacious of anyone to lay a hand on Gautier, especially while he was already injured. The crowd was incensed by such brazenness.

“Someone, restrain this man! The perpetrator must face the consequences for his actions!” Lara rushed to Gautier’s side, issuing commands.

Though many were eager to intervene, Emmanuel’s imposing presence kept them at bay.

In contrast, Emmanuel simply held Mackenzie’s hand lightly. His expression was unwavering.

After all, she was his woman. With their legitimate husband and wife status, their bond was undeniable. So, what fault was there in defending his wife from a man with ill intentions?

At that moment, her palm was slightly sweaty. She was worried that the media would only further vilify him if he resorted to violence.

“Surround the entire venue! We cannot let this villain slip away! He must face the consequences!” Winona’s sudden appearance spurred the Verkade family’s bodyguards into action, encircling the scene.

She had long yearned to avenge Hubert. Today, Emmanuel had come to her doorstep and dared to strike Gautier. She felt fully justified in taking action.

“You’re so foolish! Do you realize the ramifications of your actions?” Mackenzie couldn’t help but whisper at Emmanuel.

He smiled serenely. “For you, I am willing to defy the entire world! Your beauty and kindness preclude you from villainy. Let me embrace the role of a demon, shielding you from every storm and hardship.”

He understood her burden, the weight of her family’s legacy, and the expectations of the Terence Group. There were constraints she couldn’t breach, words she couldn’t utter. But he was unbound by those limitations.

After all, Emmanuel was Mackenzie’s husband. If the world insisted on painting him as a villain, he would embrace that role with the strength and resilience of an actual demon, much like Roselynn.

“Stop!”

As tensions reached a boiling point, Ashton stepped forward. She positioned herself between Emmanuel and his wife. She said coldly, “Do you want to get arrested for fighting in public?”

“You-” Lara’s anger surged at Ashton’s interference, her words dripping with indignation. “Did you not witness Emmanuel’s assault just now? This reeks of favoritism! You’re unfit for your position!”
