Chapter 1196
Chapter 1196 The Big Showdown Is Coming
What?! His wife?! The audience, who had been casually watching the drama, erupted in shock. Especially the couple who had just been sitting next to Emmanuel, teasing each other before realizing that Emmanuel was actually Miss Mackenzie’s husband. He even took down Gautier on the spot. He was truly daring.
“You… You barbarian!” Lara quickly ran over, helping Gautier up and scolding Emmanuel.
Emmanuel ignored her. He had warned Gautier many times before, yet the CEO continued pursuing his wife. So, he had it coming. Naturally, no man could, tolerate someone openly pursuing his wife, let alone holding their wife’s hand right before them.
The next moment, security personnel rushed out of the restaurant and surrounded Emmanuel and Mackenzie. Once Gautier gave the order, they would certainly all charge at Emmanuel.
A full-scale battle was about to break out. However, Emmanuel remained fearless, standing in front of his wife.
“Now, this is interesting. The man is dead meat for good! How dare he hit Mr. Gautier? He’s practically asking for death!”
“Yeah, did he think Mr. Gautier is titled the Alpha CEO for nothing? Mr. Gautier will surely make his demise quite entertaining!”
“I heard that those who offended Mr. Gautier in the past ended up with their entire families unable to survive in Yeringham. The outcome was so miserable!”
The crowd speculated and anticipated Gautier’s reaction. However, to their surprise, he remained inactive.
“Emmanuel, let’s go.” Although angry at Emmanuel for not showing up at a crucial moment, Mackenzie was satisfied with his timely appearance and performance, so she gently took his arm and left.
The security personnel all looked at Gautier, who wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth but still didn’t dare to give the order to attack.
Coward! The crowd was once again shocked and couldn’t believe that this was the rumored Alpha CEO of Yeringham. If he hadn’t just demonstrated exceptional piano skills, they would have suspected he was an imposter.
“Holy sh*t!” The man at the table next to Emmanuel’s slapped the table and stood up, eyes nearly bulging out in disbelief.
His companion was no exception. She had just been madly criticizing Emmanuel, never expecting that her husband, Gautier, would lose to him in public.
“Hehe, look at them!” Ashton couldn’t help but tease after seeing their reactions. But suddenly, she envied Mackenzie. Considering she was also the daughter of a prominent business family in Onza, equally fair and beautiful, why didn’t she receive the same treatment as Mackenzie?
Emmanuel protected Mackenzie as they walked

Gautier didn’t give the order, and no one dared to act.
It was only after Emmanuel and Mackenzie left that Gautier left the scene alone, looking grim and unpredictable, his thoughts unclear.
As soon as he entered the private room, William immediately followed and stood behind him, asking, “Why haven’t you taken action yet? Don’t you think that by not doing so, our family’s reputation is at stake? We have so many fighters. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of Emmanuel!”
Gautier’s gaze was profound, but there was no expected anger. He didn’t respond to his father’s words, remaining as calm as the night sky’s clouds. It wasn’t until William sighed and was about to leave that he spoke slowly, “Dad, since you’ve decided to entrust the Verkade family to me, you should trust me! I actually understand better than you which direction our family should take…”
William’s eyes flickered with a mix of expectation and concern. Eventually, he let out a long sigh, nodded, and left. In the eyes of the lower-class people, the Verkade family seemed infinitely glorious, but in reality, they were also struggling in a tight spot. The intrigues of the upper class, with one wrong decision, could jeopardize the entire future and destiny of the family.
At the same time, as soon as Emmanuel and Mackenzie walked out of Willow, someone promptly relayed the news to a villa on the outskirts.
Magnus, after glancing at the news, couldn’t help clenching his fists, his eyes betraying a hint of excitement.
“Haha, Magnus, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that expression on you. Seems like the big showdown is coming.” Blake remarked upon seeing him like this.
