And he only considered Hattie and the others as his enemies.
He didnât care about Mackenzieâs relationship with Hattie. In any case, he
could never get along with Hattie.
âWhat are you doing here? And whatâs the deal with Jack and Benny?â
Mackenzie questioned.

Gautier stayed calm and suggested, âHow about we get a private room, and
Iâll explain it to you, Mackenzie?â
He nonchalantly glanced at Hattie and the others, his intentions clear as day.
âMackenzie, I will take my leave. Call me
you ever need help. Hattie, being
the astute woman, was about to leave but warned Mackenzie in a hushed
tone, âThis guy used to vacillate between you and me. Be careful.â
Mackenzie nodded subtly while looking at Gautier.
Gautier wasnât a martial artist. He might not have heard what Hattie

Gautier wasnât a martial artist. He might not have heard what Hattie
whispered to Mackenzie, but he most likely guessed the contents.
âLetâs go.â Mackenzie, escorted by Sage, followed Gautier to the private room.
Aware of Susanâs enmity towards Mackenzie, Gautier asked her to wait
outside to avoid any complications.
Susan, a devoted admirer of Gautier, complied obediently despite feeling a
tad disgruntled.
âWhat do you have to say to me?â Mackenzie took a seat and asked the
standing Gautier.
âIâve met Mr. Lestrange.â
âWhat?â Mackenzie didnât expect Gautier to confess willingly without her
interrogating.
âWell, following the downfall of the Tanners of Onza, they urgently needed
someone to fill in the vacant position, so they reached out to me, Gautier

someone to fill in the vacant position, so they reached out to me,â Gautier
said calmly.
Mackenzie was slightly surprised but then sneered. âSo, they seek your
assistance in reorganizing the Tanners of Onzaâs forces to confront me?â
âYes.â Gautier nodded.
Mackenzie couldnât help chuckling. âYouâve got guts, telling me all this. Arenât
you afraid I might make a move against you now? Or are you that confident
you can outwit me?â
âI canât believe youâd see me that way, Mackenzie.â Gautier sighed.
Mackenzie was having a hard time making sense of the man before her. She
furrowed her brows, a faint glint in her eyes.
âAlthough you didnât choose me, youâve always been the woman I love. Since
Iâve chosen to align with the Quillen family, I wonât betray you again. Iâm
committed to assisting you and Emmanuel in elevating the Quillen family ta
the pinnacle!â Gautier promised.

Iâve chosen to align with the Quillen family, I wonât betray you again. Iâm
committed to assisting you and Emmanuel in elevating the Quillen family to
the pinnacle!â Gautier promised.
Mackenzie sneered, her expression betraying her skepticism.
If it is truly as he says, how remarkable he must be!
A remarkable simp, that is!
Eventually, Gautier sighed again. âIf I truly intended to oppose you, I wouldnât
have confessed to you. As long as the Quillens flourish, we, the Verkades, only
stand to gain from it.â
Mackenzie tentatively believed his claims and asked, âSo, did you accept his
proposal?â
Gautier nodded candidly. âI did. If I turned him down, he wouldâve sought out
other candidates. Hence, I agreed to assist him. If I happen to come across
any insider intel, I can inform you in advance. That way, Iâll be of help to you.â

Again, Mackenzie smiled.
But every one of her smiles carried a different expression.
She almost got persuaded by Gautierâs words.
But she stood firm. âWhy should I trust what youâre saying? You could be
deliberately trying to lower my guard. Besides, Mr. Lestrange must also have
doubts about you, right? If he didnât have some form of control over your
actions, why would he so readily hand over the Tanners of Onzaâs territories.
to you?â
Gautier knew how clever Mackenzie was, and there was no way he could
hide anything from her, so he came clean, âYouâre right. Mr. Lestrange has
poisoned me. If I betray him, only death awaits me!â
Mackenzie sneered once again. âYou still expect me to believe you?â
âYou must trust me, Mackenzie!â Gautier looked resigned yet determined. If
you donât believe me, go ahead and poison me tool I remember Emmanuel

Mackenzie sneered once again. âYou still expect me to believe you?â
âYou must trust me, Mackenzie!â Gautier looked resigned yet determined. âIf
you donât believe the, go ahead and poison me too! I remember Emmanuel is
quite skilled at it, no?â
Mackenzie kept quiet, simply staring icily at him, her beautiful eyes seeming
to penetrate his soul.
âThen, explain why they want to oppose the Quillen family?â
âBecause the Quillen family is growing stronger by the day, and theyâre
anticipating you to eventually go against them!â
