Chapter 583
“Hahaha, impressive! Impressive!”
As Hubert stood there dumbfounded, unsure how to respond, a magnetic
male voice sounded.
Emmanuel and everyone else turned their heads in the direction of the voice,
only to find Gautier suddenly appearing and walking toward them.
Gautier smoothly picked up three wine glasses from the table and slowly
poured three glasses of red wine.
He handed one glass to Emmanuel.
As the CEO of Verkade Group, he always attracted attention in any
Yeringham gathering.
“Here, allow me to offer my sincerest congratulations to this lovely couple!”
There’s no need to offend someone who extends a hand in friendship! Even
though Emmanuel suspected that this cunning playboy had ulterior motives,
he could only politely accept the glass in front of so many people.
Gautier then slowly handed the other glass of wine to Mackenzie, who stared
at her archnemesis with a slight curve on her lips.
This was the game of the upper class!
Even if they fought fiercely in private, they still had to wear smiling masks in
public.
It was a sign of respect for a formidable opponent.
“To your happiness!” Gautier clinked glasses with them, then raised his glass
and downed the red wine.
Emmanuel and Mackenzie followed suit.
The scene drew applause from the entire room.
Everyone knew that Gautier and Mackenzie were the two most outstanding
CEOS in Yeringham, and this toast was likely to become tomorrow’s headline
news in Yeringham, barring any surprises!
The cameras of the on–site reporters captured the moment perfectly.
“Oh, Hubert, as Mackenzie’s pursuer for over ten years, why don’t you
generously congratulate your dream girl on finding true love?” Gautier
teased.
Finally, many people understood that Gautier’s appearance was actually to
provide an escape route for his little brother.
Otherwise, with Hubert’s caliber, he would only become everyone’s
laughingstock!
“Mackenzie, I wish you all the best!” Hubert hurriedly took two glasses of red
wine and walked up to Mackenzie. He offered one to her as his eyes welled
up with tears.
He was putting in quite the effort to pretend to be heartbroken!
Emmanuel noticed a slight flicker in Hubert’s eyes. He suspected that Hubert
was deliberately using his dramatic expression to conceal something. So, he
glanced at the glass of wine Hubert handed to Mackenzie.
The color and appearance of the drink seemed slightly off. Sure enough, he
had secretly spiked it again! What audacity! He dares to do this even in such
a setting?
However, in a setting like this, with Hubert’s status as the son of the Verkade
family, Emmanuel couldn’t forcibly stop him when he was offering a toast,
could he?
“Wait a minute!” Emmanuel called for a halt.
All eyes turned to him.
With a slight smirk on his lips, he raised his glass. “Since you’re offering your
blessings to Mackenzie and me, would you mind if I join in the toast as well?”
Applause and cheers filled the room once again.
What a harmonious love triangle!
However, an unexpected incident occurred in which Emmanuel accidentally
spilled red wine on Hubert.
“Oops, sorry! I got a bit carried away while receiving blessings from my rival!”
Emmanuel quickly put down his glass and started wiping Hubert off.
A few scattered friendly laughs echoed throughout the room.
Hubert was about to curse in anger but realized that all eyes were fixed on
him.
