However, Emmanuel didnât care about Lara at all. He had no idea who she was, so he couldnât care
less about her thoughts. Furthermore, Gautier was no match for him, so it made no difference to him if
the situation escalated into a fight.
âItâs not every day that a villain like you would come asking for a beating on a silver platter,â Emmanuel
said coldly.
Gautier wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth as he smirked, filled with anger, looking
rather bizarre.
âSecurity! Security! Quickly!â Lara shouted loudly, supporting Gautier. In the next moment, three or four
security guards quickly arrived.
âWhatâs going on?â The lead security guard happened to be Sheldon. Coincidentally, Ryder was with
him.
âBeat this b*stard up now, then send him to the police station!â Lara ordered loudly.
Sheldon was momentarily stunned, and Ryder was also at a loss.
They would never beat up Emmanuel. Not in a million years!
So, they could only maintain their shocked expressions.
âWhy are you all standing there?! How dare you not follow my orders?!â Lara shouted fiercely, itching.
to throw a punch herself.
âHold upâ¦
Who are you?â Sheldon immediately asked anxiously. âWhat position do you hold in Terence Group?
Why havenât I seen you two before?â
Lara sneered, proud as she said, âI am Lara, the fourth young lady of the Quillen family!â
Emmanuel was taken aback. Sheâs Beatrixâs cousin?! Alas, another one who looks too mature for her
age.
He wouldnât even doubt it if Lara was Beatrixâs younger aunt!
âNo, no!â Sheldon waved his hands. âIâm asking about the position you hold in the company.â
âDo I even need a position?! This is my familyâs company!â Lara shouted, thinking the captain of the
security team must be insane or brainless. Wasnât the title of the fourth young lady of the Quillen family
powerful enough?
âSo⦠Ms. Lara, you donât actually have a position in the company?â Sheldon continued to inquire.
âNo! Donât you speak Chanaean? Iâcommand you to beat this guy up immediately!â Lara was on the
verge of losing her temper, but Sheldon still didnât move. He couldnât possibly assault his leader, could
he?!
âThis is the Deputy Head of the Commerce Department at Terence Group. We dare not attack him.
Besides, what mistake has he made?â Sheldon asked, pretending to be flustered.
âHe hit Mr. Gautier! This is simply unforgivable!â Lara started stomping her foot, completely abandoning
any semblance of a refined young lady.
âIs that so?â Sheldon looked at Emmanuel.
âYeah, thatâs right.â Emmanuel nodded. âI saw that he isnât from our company, and I was afraid he might
steal our company secrets. So, I thought of dealing with him myself and chasing him out. Since youâve
arrived, consider it on my behalf!â
âAlrighty!â Sheldon didnât hesitate at all, immediately carrying out Emmanuelâs orders.
âYou⦠How dare you!â Lara was beside herself with fury at this point. What kind of security did the
Terence Group hire?! Is this a rebellion?!
However, no matter how infuriated she was, Sheldon and Ryder followed Emmanuelâs lead. She felt as
though she was talking to a brick wall.
Gautier, on the other hand, had a better grasp of the situation than Lara. While he was a significant
figure in the Verkade Group, unfortunately, this was the Terence Group. If he continued to confront
Emmanuel here, he would only bring disgrace upon himself.
He realized he had made a mistake earlier-provoking Emmanuel here. He didnât expect this barbarian
to resort to violence in the company.
Then again, a real man knew when to yield. He would note this account in his diary and settle it
eventually.
After Lara and Gautier were escorted out, Emmanuelâs mood became far from pleasant.
Firstly, he inadvertently offended another woman from the Quillen family. Secondly, Gautier openly
declared his intention to pursue Mackenzie!
Emmanuel had no idea what Gautier was up to, but it seemed this guy would continue to bother him in
the future.
On the other hand, Mackenzie seemed a bit distracted at work that day. Before 4 p.m., she asked
Emmanuel to take her home.
Emmanuel wasnât sure what was on his wifeâs mind, as it was unusual for her to leave the office early.
Nevertheless, he drove back to the Quillen residence as usual.
