Ashton was hot-tempered and would tolerate anything but threats. She immediately moved to take Susan away.
Unexpectedly, Susan’s bodyguards dared to protect her and openly confront Ashton.
The scene quickly descended into chaos.
“Stop!”
At the critical moment, a powerful voice echoed.
The owner of the voice resembled the male lead in a drama. He shouted angrily, and everyone immediately halted.
Looking in the direction of the voice, it turned out to be a handsome and imposing man leading a group of people out of the news
hall.
Wherever he went, people made way for him.
Indeed, he was Gautier Verkade, the dominant CEO in Yeringham.
“Gautier, why are you here?”
Upon seeing this handsome man, the initially fiery Susan immediately turned into a fangirl. She walked over with a simple smile.
However, Gautier did not give her a chance and directly reprimanded her. “Susan, what are you doing? Why are you causing a
scene here?”
The once arrogant and proud woman now looked like a helpless little girl, trembling as she said, “Gautier, it’s not me. It’s that
shameless woman who wants to snatch you away from me. I just wanted to teach her a lesson.”
With that, she gritted her teeth and tried to pounce on Mackenzie again.
Mackenzie looked at Susan calmly, not displaying the expected anger.
She could tell that although Susan lacked manners, she wasn’t inherently malicious. Instead, she seemed pretty naive and the
kind of woman who could easily be manipulated or stubbornly misguided.
Seeing Susan about to confront Mackenzie again, Miss Lex) and Beatrix firmly protected Mackenzie.
Lara, who stood behind Gautier, couldn’t let Mackenzie be harmed and stepped forward to protect her. She disliked Emmanuel
and Beatrix, but Mackenzie’s position in her heart had never changed.
No one can harm her.
“Enough!”

Seeing Susan about to clash with the people in front of Mackenzie again, Gautier shouted angrily once more.
This time, he directly walked over in large strides and slapped Susan in the face.
Smack!
The lively scene fell silent.
The whole venue was stunned.
Even Ashton was taken aback. She didn’t dare to slap a woman from the Silverbane family. The consequences wouldn’t be a
joke once the Silverbane family made a fuss.
Mackenzie also silently watched the drama unfold between these two.
Susan’s face turned red from the slap, but she still looked at Gautier with infatuation. She asked, “Gautier, why did you hit me?”
“Susan, I like Mackenzie. Not you,” Gautier spoke directly, dropping a bombshell.
The media reporters were now in an uproar, taking pictures. If it weren’t for the security holding them back, they
would probably risk the danger of rushing forward for an interview.
“Gautier, I’m heartbroken. Why would you hurt me like this?”
Tears gushed from Susan’s eyes instantly.
Mackenzie couldn’t tell if Gautier was acting, but she could see that Susan was definitely not acting.
This woman’s tears are genuine.
“Susan, I’ve told you many times. I’ve never liked you. I’ve always treated you as a friend, not a girlfriend. I’ve never
lied to you.” Gautier sighed.
Due to the excessive force just now, blood seeped from the left arm that had blocked the gun for Mackenzie. The
blood stained his white coat red.
“Gautier, what’s wrong? You’re bleeding again.”
Seeing him bleed, Susan’s heart was moved. She cried out foolishly. “Someone, come quickly. Help him treat his
wound!”
Susan then said, “Gautier, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have angered you.”
Seeing such an infatuated woman, Miss Lexi and Beatrix didn’t know what to say. Let alone Mackenzie, who was already in a
complicated mood.

Gautier had slapped the Silverbane family’s daughter for her. Once this news spread, the public would definitely think that she
couldn’t let down Mr. Gautier’s love.
“Susan, if you truly care about me, please leave first. I kindly ask you not to interfere with my affairs, alright?”
Gautier spoke unexpectedly in a gentle tone to Susan, as if he hadn’t just slapped her.
“Gautier...”
Susan felt deeply hurt. Tears streamed down her cheeks, yet she still complied with Gautier’s request, leaving the
scene in tears.
