The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 121: LAMBERT'S MEETING PART 2
The last person they expected in the family was the banished son of Lambert. Raphael Gauthier's societal relevance with his embodied wealth was a stronghold while returning to the Lambert's.Yes! They were astonished to behold him. But would they shove him off? No! How would you shove off a man who's wealthier and more valuable than you could ever imagine?The least they could do was ponder and wonder while they awaited for the subsequent revelations that would unfold.[It pretty much seemed like fate needed Agathe to reveal the content of the evidence after Raphael had found his feet on the ground]Agathe Lambert was strategic enough to hint at a particular day that is most preferable to schedule the meeting. She chose a Thursday morning because Hugo Lambert would most likely return home from 9:00 am after spending his night in the nightclub every Wednesday night.Barrister Kendrick willingly consented to the plan; they wouldn't want Hugo Lambert to know what was in the plan before i
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 122: LAMBERT'S MEETING PART 3
Raphael Gauthier knew it was about time to reintroduce himself to Hugo differently.He took four steps towards Hugo's stand and unleashed a slap on his left cheek.Hugo in a shocking reflection staggered backward as he mistakenly lost his balance but Ralphael held onto his shirt, dragged him towards him, and unleashed a second slap still on his left cheek.HIT!“Oops!” the three uncles in the living room echoed with their eyes widened.“Oh my God!” The aunts couldn't keep mute as the humiliating drama had just begun.Barrister Kendrick for obvious reasons didn't want to separate Raphael's grip against his younger stepbrother. It was a well-deserved resounding slap.Agathe Lambert didn't control herself from beaming hard at the two slaps vehemently unleashed across Hugo's left cheeks. She stood right there and didn't mutter a single word.“Now, would you go sit down at once,” Raphael Gauthier quickly instructed him, pointing his finger to the direction he wanted Hugo to sit.Hugo Lambe

“If you argue never to have heard what I'm about to read out then it means you simply want to tell an ugly lie. But I hope your next set of actions won't depict what I just said,” Barrister Kendrick needed to psychologically induce Hugo Lambert.Raphael Gauthier stared at Agathe Lambert who returned the stare with a wink. They understood what the family lawyer was doing and he was damn good at it.“In all the proclamation of inheritance bestowed upon Hugo Lambert. There was a clause attached on page fourteen of Mr. Lambert's will.”“Dear Uncles and Aunts, I called you all to bear witness to the fact if any of you haven't heard of this particular clause mentioned…” Barrister Kendrick smartly indulged the extended invitees to listen attentively before he'd continue.“Most of my businesses, properties, and assets shall be under the ownership of Hugo Lambert, my second son. The few outlined assets would go to my only daughter; Agathe Lambert…” he read out page fourteen of the will and pau
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 124: THE GENIUS
Hugo Lambert's heart danced with profound shock and disbelief. What! His older step brother had a chance to ruin him for life and what did he proffer? That he should be allowed to flee.Hugo Lambert glanced around the living room and the faces gazing at him while he escaped from the loosened grip of the domestic staff.It was yet to make sense why the man who precipitated his mother's death was yet to have a taste of his real wrath with the undeniable evidence that he's got.“Raphael!? Why did you let him go? Have you suddenly forgotten what he caused you and your late mother? Huh?” Agathe Lambert blurted out as her face shone in confusion.Raphael Gauthier nodded his head understanding why Agathe, Kendrick, and the extended invitees had been perplexed by his decision. He patted the shoulder of the family lawyer and sauntered back to the center table.Agathe Lambert believed her older stepbrother couldn't have taken such a sensitive decision without a plan or reason. [She needs to inq
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 125: HUGO'S PLIGHT
“Sir? Sir? Do you have an appointment with Mr Lucas?” the gatekeeper seriously asked with his eyes narrowed.Hugo Lambert hastily snorted and tutted his lips in confusion because he didn't know the exact words to spill as he stood helplessly at the entrance gate without access to the main building.“I don't. I tried calling him a couple of times while on my way but he didn't answer my calls.”“Could you please inform him it's Hugo Lambert who wishes to see him,” he strived to explain further wearing a very concerned expression.Instantly Hugo Lambert fled from his late father's residence. He zoomed off in shock and the only direction his restless heartbeat could whisper to him was; Mr Lucas's residence. [Why?]The gatekeeper diplomatically denied him access because his master didn't inform him of any meeting with Hugo Lambert. Hence, it was only normal that he would uphold professionalism.“Please just tell him it's Hugo Lambert and if he refuses to give access. I promise to leave,” H
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 126: THE REVELATION
Hugo Lambert tried as much as he could to put himself in check but the more he pondered on losing everything he thought he wouldn't that fateful Thursday morning the more destabilized he seemed.He finally got seated at one of the blue sofas in the living room while he simultaneously leaned backward and in front. He displayed every sign of confusion and restlessness.Mr Lucas didn't know exactly what and how to respond to him. For how long he's known Hugo Lambert, he hadn't beheld him in such an unchilled state.Mr Lucas irresistibly ran his thoughts on the possible reasons that precipitated Hugo's uneasy demeanor. From how his staff informed him about his meeting. He knew it was damn urgent.Hugo Lambert had his eyes lowered in further thoughts. He wondered how a happy man in a nightclub had lost all he believed he had. He was still surprised that he was allowed to flee with the car.[Well, that was obviously for a reason!]“Hugo!” Mr Lucas screamed out.“I don't have all day. It's e
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 127: THE INEVITABILITY
“Oxlade Estate No. 42 Lord Lucas Bloc?” “Huh?”“Emm… What's he doing there?” Agathe Lambert uncontrollably asked while her eyes popped towards the tracking device before them.Raphael Gauthier had his left finger intentionally placed on his left cheek while pondering on his step-younger sister's irresistible question.Both had their eyes fixed on the tracking machine for over thirty minutes since Hugo Lambert fled from the Lambert family.“Wherever that location is, has the answers we've been seeking. I'm certain about that,” the genius responded, still maintaining the original posture in thoughts.Agathe Lambert calmly placed the tracking device on the center table while she arose from her chair and sauntered back and forth.‘Who does Hugo know that resides at Lord Lucas' block at Oxlade estate? I have never heard him mention heading there before now. Hmm?” She couldn't help but initiate countless questions leading to profound uncertainties.It's one thing to deduce the possible hid
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 128: MORE PLIGHT!
Mr. Lucas Moreau and Hugo Lambert had their faces gazing downward while they endorsed several conflicting thoughts on Raphael Gauthier's return.Lucas Moreau on hearing his niece finally divorced him enthralled in happiness as what he's been opting for finally happened.Boom! From nowhere the reformation news of Rapahel spread like wildfire and how he meticulously bought a hotel and became the MD of an esteemed winery company.If that wasn't enough Lucas Moreau was in deep pain when his older brother and wife got sentenced.All this while he had intentionally stayed silent until the chips were finally down which propelled Hugo Lambert's impromptu visit that fateful Thursday morning.‘Who the hell is this guy? Whatever he touches turns out to be a blessing for him. Where the hell did he get his hands on that evidence?’ Lucas Moreau had his arms folded together while seated on his exalted throne.Lucas Moreau would have been calmer with the situation if things had been the way they had

“In the course of the investigation, the president of France and other ambassadors from five South American countries got involved when they learned the esteemed Grand Lord, Raphael Gauthier, was also in the contest with The Ultimate Branded Champagne.”“I’m here to announce to y'all that we've acquired implicating evidence that over the last half a decade, Alexandre Petit has continually connived with twenty high-ranked staff of the European Winery Exhibition Contest to condemn justice and fairness, which has made him the winner in consecutive occasions!”The crowd slammed their voices in anger as they booed at Alexandre Petit with disdainful tongues.“In this year's edition, he had an accomplice by the name of Lucas Moreau, months back in agreement, they attempted to assassinate Raphael Gauthier and his stepbrother, Hugo Lambert.

CHAPTER 195: THE CONFESSION
“I don't care if I die the next minute or get arrested and pay for my crimes. As long as I divulge what has been hidden for decades, then my part has been done,” Hugo mouthed with a short gasp breath, his face gripped with sweat as he held onto his step-older brother.All along, Raphael had presumed his younger stepbrother was bluffing about having information to spill. It seemed like he had finally gotten his attention.“Really? You got any information?” his brows raised in keenness.Agathe waved at the medical personnel who sheepishly departed from the room. They had already overstayed. It's family time!“Yes, I do, dear brother…”“I know none of my words would change the past and the evil I've done to you, which led to the death of your mother, banishment, and many others, including sleeping with your ex-wife,” he spilled those hard words out. And once again, the ugly past flashed before Raphael’s face.Agathe strode towards him and patted his shoulder; she understood how painful i

CHAPTER 194: A DRY COUGH: A NEW BREATH
For the greater good of his power and what it believes in, Hugo Lambert should be saved by his older stepbrother despite the pains he has inflicted. GrandLord Raphael Gauthier, in a state of pain and anger, understood that and had to do the needful.‘Hugo you've fought so hard against death. Time to come back to us,’ GrandLord Raphael Gauthier communioned with the deteriorated state of Hugo Lambert.He believed he could hear his words. One of the containers had a well-prepared honey with herbal ointment in it as his inner power whispered what he should do.Agathe Lambert muttered a thousand prayers in her heart as her hands shook in fear. She might not be a great fan of Hugo from inception but she wouldn't want him dead either. The medical personnel stood in disorientation as they beheld the unprecedented movie being played before their eyes.GrandLord Raphael Gauthier signaled Agathe Lambert, who assisted in slightly opening Hugo's mouth to enable him to pour the herbal medicine insi

CHAPTER 193: A FLASH OF THE PAST
Agathe Lambert was struck in a state of slight confusion and vibrantness. She quickly strode towards where Hugo Lambert had laid for over a week as his health deteriorated. The medical renowned doctors followed behind to witness what would unfold sooner.It wasn't a pretense that the medical experts had little or no hope of what the GrandLord could do differently. They engaged in indistinct communication amongst themselves while their faces were etched with doubts, disbelief, and slight confusion.Grand Lord Raphael Gauthier stood face to face before his stepbrother. He exhaled deeply with his eyes intentionally closed while he trailed his oil-soaked right finger on his chest towards his abdomen back to his chest and throat.Agathe Lambert instantly wondered what Raphael's right finger was doing on Hugo's chest. She somewhat feared that he might want to avenge what happened to his late mother. The medical personnel maintained their indistinct conversations with their heads and eye gou

CHAPTER 192: HE’S HERE!
She knew GrandLord Raphael Gauthier was quite an intentional human and wouldn't mouth those unexpected words if he didn't mean them. Nonetheless, she couldn't control how astonished she seemed.For a moment she gave up on GrandLord Raphael Gauthier ever believing her about Hugo Lambert or what he had to tell him. She believed the past ugly incident would cloud his judgment on believing her.“The more time we waste the less chance he has to survive the poison,” GrandLord Raphael Gauthier quickly spoke out.He promptly offered Agathe Lambert his right hand as an aid to lift herself off the ground. He went ahead and offered her a white handkerchief to wipe off her tears while she made efforts to stand.The driver had his mouth slightly opened at how he thought he'd soon head back to the mansion or the office. However, his boss had other plans for the day.“Why the sudden change of heart? I could swear you would have zoomed off without looking back,” Agathe Lambert hinted as her eyes popp

CHAPTER 191: RECONSIDERATION
He tutted his lips even more in disagreement and displeasure with his lips curved in disbelief and contempt. He shook his head more often while anticipating what Agathe Lambert would say next.She wasn't making any single sense with her words about Hugo Lambert's poisoned state and his request to speak with him. Agathe Lambert temporarily went speechless while glancing at him and other gatekeepers who could grasp the building conversations.“Drop this trick to get me to heal him 'cause that's not happening. He caused the death of my mother. You wasted your time in making me come over,” GrandLord Raphael Gauthier blurted out while taking a step backward.He felt there were no more words left unsaid with his younger step-sister and got to head back to the mansion or, better still, see how Pierre was handling business in his absence.It was better than being at the wrong time at the wrongest time. Driving from the mansion on Agathe Lambert's request seemed like a waste of time.“Good day

CHAPTER 190: HE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?
“Several medical professionals have conducted several diagnoses, but he's none responsive to their treatments,” Agathe Lambert, after a few moments, uttered more words to establish clarity.She had anticipated to bark at her immediately when she uttered the last words or even an immediate response which he didn't. Hence, she had to delve back to words that would build stamina to whatever his thought organs were entertaining.GrandLord Raphael Gauthier intentionally kept mute and steadily set his sight on her believing she got more words unspilled. His eyebrows were raised more with his two hands placed across his waist while trying to make sense of where Agathe Lambert was driving.“Hugo?” he somewhat mouthed with his eyes blinking. “Poisoned?” His last words followed with a question. “By who?” GrandLord Raphael Gauthier promptly inquired with a somewhat calmer tone. “When?” he went further in striding towards the path of questions.Questions engrossed in inquiries which was all Grand

CHAPTER 189: AGATHE'S SKEPTICISM
GrandLord Raphael Gauthier hastily mouthed with his eyebrows raised in building annoyance. He kept his sight steadily on Agathe Lambert striving to make meaning to her last statement. He knew she wasn't joking but needed a form of clarity in her speech.Agathe Lambert vividly remembered all that transpired between Grandlord Raphael Gauthier and Hugo and should be the last person to make such statements when the GrandLord is concerned.Agathe Lambert was somewhat confused about what to respond with as her gaze quickly dropped off. She reactively took two steps backward in perplexed thoughts. GrandLord Raphael Gauthier was swift enough to understand his younger step-sister's last action. He positioned his hand in an akimbo posture while still glaring at her.“I left my mansion for Hugo? That betrayer? You're kidding huh?” GrandLord Raphael Gauthier mouthed once more but his voice heightened this time.Still maintaining his body posture, he took one step forward in search of a response f
