Mackenzie didn’t want to waste time beating around the bush, so she spoke up directly.

Gautier glanced at her and smiled slightly. “Mackenzie, we all know that the Chamber of Commerce is based on business
entities. The larger the business entity, the easier it is to join the Chamber of Commerce and have a say. Therefore, the Verkade
family wants to unite with the Quillen family and join the Chamber of Commerce as a business entity!”
Mackenzie nodded slightly. She neither agreed nor disagreed. After all, he wasn’t wrong!
“So, how do you propose we cooperate?” Beatrix warned him directly. “If you still have thoughts about marriage, it’s probably not
going to happen. Unless you marry Lara!”
Gautier gave an awkward smile. What use would marrying Lara be to him?
Firstly, the woman was average-looking.
Secondly, she did not have control over the Quillen family!
However, he couldn’t say this directly, so he smiled and said, “Mackenzie, we don’t necessarily need a marriage. alliance for
deep cooperation. I have a new energy order worth 450 million here-”
Emmanuel listened silently, his attention focused on Gautier. Suddenly, there was a commotion in a corner of the
restaurant.
Neither Mackenzie nor Beatrix noticed.
Emmanuel quickly glanced over and, when he saw a man raising a gun, he shouted, “Darling, Beatrix, watch out!!”
In the blink of an eye, he jumped up with his hands spread out before pushing his wife and Beatrix to the ground.
At the same.time, his mind raced. Could it be that Gautier invited them to dinner to kill them?!
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Emmanuel turned around quickly and was ready to counterattack the assassin but was surprised to see Gautier standing in front
of Mackenzie with his arms spread out!
At this moment, blood was dripping from his arm.
“Ah! There’s a hitman!”
“Quick! Catch him!”
“Protect Mr. Gautier!”

86%1 Especially Emmanuel, who came from the Northern Region. He knew very well that reality was not like a TV drama.
Unless one was a professional like him, ordinary people couldn’t react in time in such a situation, let alone spread their arms to
block a bullet.
The most reasonable explanation was that Gautier might have known in advance!
However, this was just speculation. He had no evidence, and it was a fact that Gautier had taken a bullet for his wife.
“Mr. Gautier, are you okay?”
Mackenzie had no choice but to stand up and inquire about Gautier’s condition.
Before the truth was clear, she could only assume that Gautier had bravely taken a bullet for her under the watchful eyes of
everyone. Otherwise, with so many people watching, she could be pushed into the spotlight tomorrow and drowned by the
criticism of the Yeringham public if she left heartlessly!
“I... I’m fine!”
Due to significant blood loss, Gautier’s lips were quite pale, but he still managed to smile at Mackenzie.
The women around the restaurant were moved to tears by this scene!
“I never thought I’d witness a scene in real life that only happens in novels and TV dramas!”
“Right! Mr. Gautier is truly courageous! How many men could take a bullet for a woman in such a critical moment?”
“Boohoo... I feel so sorry for Mr. Gautier!”
“Mr. Gautier definitely loves Ms. Quillen. I really hope they can be together!”
Upon hearing these discussions, Emmanuel and Beatrix felt uneasy.
They looked at the expressions of these women and found that many of them seemed genuine. It did not seem like Gautier hired
them.
Many people were even live-streaming!
“Gautier! Gautier! What happened to you?”
Lara emerged abruptly from the crowd. She had initially come to attend tonight’s dinner, but she was taken aback by the scene
that unfolded before her eyes.
Anxiously, she hurried over, observing the restaurant’s medical staff as they attended to Gautier’s injuries. After listening to
everyone’s conversations and piecing together the events, she promptly pointed at Emmanuel and reprimanded him.
