Chapter 1265 Exclusive Scoop

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

“Mr. Gautier!”

“Mr. Verkade!”

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

The scene erupted in a cacophony of outraged shouts.

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!”

“Don’t flaunt your accent in my face! Go amuse yourself elsewhere!”

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!”

“Don’t flaunt your accent in my face! Go amuse yourself elsewhere!”

Ashton’s retort was laced with disdain, her patience worn thin. “I’ll be investigating Emmanuel for

assault, but that doesn’t excuse your group’s violent behavior. Is that clear?”

Her stern words quelled the rising tempers of many onlookers, rendering them unable to retaliate.

Even Emmanuel couldn’t deny the usefulness of Ashton’s authority. Nevertheless, he raised his voice,

asserting, “With so many media reporters present and my arrival, allow me to address the crowd before

I leave!”

When the surrounding reporters heard this, they swiftly aimed their cameras at him. Their pursuit was

not for truth or righteousness but for the sake of popularity and web traffic.

Before, the love triangle of Mackenzie and Gautier lacked completeness, but with Emmanuel’s arrival,

the dynamics shifted. With Emmanuel’s arrival and his desire to speak out, the reporters were

determined to secure the exclusive scoop.

“First and foremost, I’m Emmanuel, and Mackenzie is my wife. We exchanged vows six months ago.”

His revelation ignited a frenzy among the gathered crowd. Though many suspected or knew about it,

this official confirmation from the protagonists electrified the atmosphere.

Standing amidst the crowd, Ashton couldn’t help but pout. She felt an odd and uncomfortable sensation

creeping over her. As for the nature and cause of this sensation, even she couldn’t fully grasp it.

Mackenzie, too, trembled slightly, caught off guard by Emmanuel’s public declaration. She would have

vehemently opposed such a revelation in the past. Yet now, she found herself strangely acquiescent

and allowed him to continue.

“Now, onto the second matter.” Emmanuel paused, casting a deliberate glance at Gautier.

A flicker of panic crossed Gautier’s face, his teeth biting down nervously on his lip.
