The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 141: GASTON BOUCHER
Celine jolted back to reality at the adherence to Raphael Gauthier's last words. She promptly disentangled from her teary state and had her eyes fixated on his eyeballs.“Huh?”“Sir-sir… Sir, you'd help me?” she managed to spill out while uncontrollably gazing at him.Raphael Gauthier beamed a little bit and understood how surprised she was that someone was willing to stand by her in her time of despair.“Of course, I'll. You're my friend, remember?” Raphael Gauthier boldly responded with a calmer tone.“Oh my goodness!” She screamed in joy with her eyes widened.In reaction, she stood from the office chair and desired to kneel before her boss in appreciation.However, before she could squeeze her knees, Raphael Gauthier intervened and held her hands, hence stopping her from indulging in such an act.“No need to fall on your knees. You've always supported my goals and aspirations despite how multitasking it has been. Why wouldn't I assist you when you need me?”Raphael Gauthier spille
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 142: THE ULTIMATUM!
Celine nearly fussed once again but when she remembered the drama that unfolded during Mrs Elise's challenge and how Ralphael Gauthier was able to discover the implicative files and have them arrested. She just breathed out calmly and closed her mouth.When Raphael Gauthier says he got you covered. The challenge has typically become his. Little wonder Celine ran to his office to have him duly informed.“Sir. I'll be at my office. The staff is still producing more wines for our New York City clients,” Celine quickly said while making efforts to walk back to her office.“Good. They had already paid over sixty percent of the bill. We can't afford to disappoint them,” Raphael Gauthier swiftly responded while winking at her.Celine tilted her head in acknowledgment and exited through the door. She wiped off the tears on her face and suspended whatever private issues she had knowing her position in the company was delicate.Raphael Gauthier strived to return to the documents he was processi
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 143: THE DIGGING
Within seven hours after Raphael Gauthier met with his spy personnel, all attention delved into research about Gaston Boucher and all he does for a living.The spy personnel didn't want to disappoint Raphael either and the best he could do was to continually make him proud.Raphael Gauthier wasn't left out of the research as well. He took it upon himself to break grounds for Celine.Saving her from the strong grip of Gaston Boucher was for the greater good and hence the Ark Tiger entity endorsed the plan.Celine was an integral part of Raphael Gathuier's life and that of the winery business. Why allow her to remain under the influence of Gaston Boucher who wouldn't hesitate in having her quit her job if they got married?Raphael Gauthier's phone buzzed and it was Celine. She would have decided to meet him at the office but opted to call him instead.He quickly picked up striving to deduce if it was work-related or personal life-oriented.“Good afternoon Sir. Gaston Boucher fixed an ap
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 144: IF GLOAT WAS A PERSON
“6 pm? Darlings Sugar Restaurant? Gaston Boucher?” The spy personnel couldn't add the pieces together and this subjected him to asking further questions.Raphael Gauthier paid no immediate attention to his triple questions but had his eyes glued on the documents before him.He had gone through the first two documents out of the seven documents and within thirty seconds he was already beaming out loudly.“Back to your question; Gaston Boucher initiated an appointment with Celine by 6 pm at Darlings Sugar Restaurant,” he responded with a proper explanation to make the spy agent's mind less worried.“Ooh! I get it now,” he responded with his mouth slightly open in realization.“And guess what?” Raphael Gauthier asked while winking at him to make a guess.The spy personnel was gluing his eyes on him without uttering a single word.“Celine's Uncle; Mr. Gabriel would also be present for the meeting.”“Perfect timing. Perfect collaboration.”“This information about Gaston Boucher came at its
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 145: CELINE STANCE
Mr Gabriel didn't give a hoot about how his niece felt about the marriage imposition. As long as he wouldn't go down for the debt his late brother owed then everything is fine.What's so wrong with getting married to a multi-billionaire? Huh? It would likely be impossible to mention the top five water production firms in Paris without mentioning the name; Gaston Boucher!Gaston Boucher still maintained a deep smirk across his lips. He knew Celine wasn't comfortable with his choice of words but he didn't care either.Celine sat restlessly with her heart entertaining different thoughts. She had wished she was in a different circumstance where she wouldn't be bullied into marriage because of her parent's debt.Her heart sank in uncertainty and disorientation as she wished Raphael Gauthier would surface already as agreed.“Has my strong-willed soon-to-be wife suddenly gone mute? She can't talk again?”“Oh… I thought you had some words to spill, why suddenly gone mute?”“Oh, she's shy? She
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 146: PRETENSE! QUESTIONS AND LIES!
Celine inhaled and exhaled calmly as she heard a voice that sounded exactly like what she had long awaited to hear.She didn't need to turn behind to behold who it was. She was certain it had to be Raphael Gauthier.Raphael Gauthier had been behind Celine for almost a minute and grasped the last point of the conversation. He knew it was time to make his introduction.Gaston Boucher and Mr Gabriel stayed muted and communicated with their eyes instead. They stared at the unexpected face before them.‘What in God's name is Raphael Gauthier doing right here?’ Gaston Boucher and Mr Gabriel irresistibly mouthed in their heads.That was the second official time Gaston Boucher was quiet; the first was Celine's annoying response and now Raphael Gauthier's introductory words.Of course, Gaston Boucher knew about the famous Multi-billionaire who had diversified his skills in healing. But how did he find himself in their space? They wondered.“How dare you throw in your mouth in matters that have
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 147: ALTERCATION
Gaston Boucher held tightly to his bold aura although his heart hinted at a couple of conflicting opinions on who Raphael Gauthier was and how confident he spoke about him.The customers had their time to figure out what was truly going on with the gentlemen. They stylishly had their eyes glancing and staring at the building altercation.Celine remained calmer and preferred to stay mute waiting to spill out words when it's most needed. The battle is way out of her league.Mr Gabriel wondered how Raphael Gauthier didn't think twice about interrupting their ongoing conversation. He believed Raphael knew nothing about Celine's family so why involved himself that much?The Manager of Darlings Sugar Restaurant had just arrived for his usual supervision when some of his staff whispered to him the blunt noises coming from Gaston Boucher's table.The Manager and many other customers didn't fail to recognize Raphael Gauthier; the great healer and the disguised personnel who ensured funds embez
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 148: MANIPULATION AT ITS PEAK
The spy personnel gently crossed his leg in confidence while he calmly beheld Raphael Gauthier emerge with the evidence he's got with him.Celine perceived the strange man whom she met at the office must have shown Raphael Gauthier what he needed before meeting with Gaston Boucher.[What it was: she didn't know. Would she find out? Time will decide!]Celine held her legs firmly on the ground while her eyes popped out in anticipation. She worried less about her uncle and Gaston Boucher would have to spill next.Raphael Gauthier cleared his throat in style. He had successfully aroused the attention of everyone present at Darlings Sugar Restaurant. It was a great deal that he didn't banter words with Gaston or Gabriel.The customers, staff, and manager were all involved in inaudible communication amongst themselves on what the brown envelope could contain.Gaston Boucher acclaimed nothing could be found dirty about him. They awaited to deduce how factual those words were.‘What a bluffer

“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. We have all the evidence and there's no hiding and running for them.Immediately his voice echoed. Multiple police officers who had strategically positione

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
