The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 17: THE MOREAU'S ORDEAL
The answers she uncontrollably sought were right beneath her very eyes but questions needed to be asked to avoid being misconstrued.“Dad… answer right away,” she requested further after struggling to mouth her words.Whatever reason for keeping Chloe in the dark on the loan request was secondary. The primary course was to get answers as to what befalls her parents would vehemently affect her as well.“Honey. Sorry, we didn't inform you earlier about taking a loan from Rowish Atlantic Bank of Paris…” Laurent deemed it responsible to divulge facts straight to her but before he fully responded, Chloe was already shaking her head in utmost displeasure.Laurent took five steps from where he originally stood in an attempt to rest his right fingers on Chleo's shoulder but she angrily stepped downward. Her face echoed; “Disappointment” Possibly it wouldn't be wrong to connote that her parents had ruined a large part of her life, huh?“Chloe please just listen to me,” his father maintained, s
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 18: TWICE BEATEN ALWAYS BEATEN!
It was already a day highly decorated with Moreau family's humiliation. Raphael needed to temporarily put on hold his disguise mission on The Lion Winery Industries to unleash his revenge on Laurent, Emma, Chloe, and others who have joined the host in his revenge book.His grandfather didn't utter any words to derail him from his revenge quests against his ex-family in-laws because he understood how his grandson's heart was vehemently made up.“Are those just the figures?” Raphael re-emphasized for the sake of clarity before he decided on his next course of action.The two bankers stole glances at each other in response to Raphael who was repeatedly calling a huge figure “Just” If by any means Raphael opted to buy off the landed property it would become the best sales they'd had since the month began.Laurent cried deeply in his heart. Raphael could have humiliated him and his household all day but he persistently prayed in his heart that he wouldn't go ahead in purchasing those prope
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 19: HAIL THE LEADER!
“Young Master. What next?” the senior butler respectfully inquired from Raphael who was in the living room of his newly acquired mansion sipping a shot of The Lion Champagne.Being the grandson of the owner of the top ten highly-rated winery companies in Paris. There isn't anything wrong if he consumes the products to enhance a honed taste bud.He gently switched his gaze from the bottle of champagne beside him to the senior butler's face. He perceived concern etching from his blue almond eyes.He needed to be sure Raphael got things covered up and wouldn't derail from any of his goals because of his hunger to seek revenge against Moreau's family.“Don't get yourself worked up. I'm not done with Chloe and her parents yet. When I'm done they would possibly wish I had started with the former rather than the latter which they just experienced,” Raphael expressed to him and gulped down the remaining shot of champagne into his mouth.“The former? Like you've got more punishments yet unleas
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 20: JULES’S STANCE
Raphael stood firm in his feet after admonishing his first-ever number of staff on the profound requirement needed to remain a staff at Stamford Luxury Suites.The staff had to be informed that the time for jokes was gone with the administration of Laurent and Emma.He stared around as he watched the staff amble back to their duty posts except for those who got to head back home.Raphael can't vehemently vouch for anyone that he could trust, the ones he thought had his back betrayed him with a mere sound of promotion and increment in salary. Pathetic!“Sir. You did handle it well,” a voice abruptly fell from Raphael behind. He narrowed his eyes a little and turned towards his left angle to grasp the identity of who just spilled those words.“Jules?” Raphael called out. He presumed he ought to have gone back to his office. ‘What is he still doing here? And why did he say those to me?’ Raphael had to inquire in his heart whilst still fixing his stare on the Hotel Account Manager.Mr. Ju
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 21: GAUTHIER’S HOUSEHOLD
‘What's the celebration for? Congratulations?’Raphael had those aforementioned questions abruptly living rent-free in his head at that very moment.His grandfather; Jacques Claude Gauthier hadn't informed him of such a gesture! Benoit; the senior butler didn't for a second enlighten him of any sort of surprise engagement!Raphael glanced through the domestic staff who were all standing at one spot like they were anticipating his return. Little wonder he didn't see any domestic staff at the door corridor like they usually positioned.Raphael beholds genuine smiles engulfed in their faces. ‘For real? They pretty much seemed happy for me, huh?’ his inner thoughts were still playing out.Jacques Claude Gauthier chuckled firmly and offered an embrace which Raphael acknowledged.That was the very time my grandson and grandfather were embracing in front of a larger audience.A start of a greater impact they guess? The times of discord and grudges should have been settled already.“Grandfath
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 22: FATED FRIENDSHIP?
Raphael for a moment hadn't forgotten how badly his grandfather's company had been controlled by Mrs. Elise and her family cohorts.The unspeakable part of it was that Jacques Claude Gauthier had no single clue of their alleged embezzlement despite all efforts of a few others to expose the corruption as stated by his newly made buddies; Celine and Pierre.‘Maybe I should go ahead and inform my grandfather about their scheme of stealing funds? He would possibly not buy the allegations since I've got no proof yet?’ Raphael resorted to handling the challenge by himself and allowed his aged grandfather to recover from his heart attack episodes.Raphael believed every single word that was unleashed from Celine and Pierre and believed they wouldn't be lying to him about the involvement of Mrs. Elise, Mrs. Louise, the Account manager, and the two receptionists in embezzling funds.Raphael could vehemently feel it in his guts that they were stealing his grandfather's winery profits and he mus
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 23: FAMILY COHORTS
Raphael and Pierre quickly stared at each other as more possible unfolding incidents hinted in their mind.Both have their mouths a little bit opened with their fingers stretched in affirmation of an idea they've just got.“Chevalier?” Pierre promptly asked. Raphael didn't respond with his mouth but rather raised his eyebrows with thoughts engrossing in their hearts.“Pierre if it's what I'm thinking then Mr Chase wouldn't be completely honest with the number of production materials in the warehouse…” Raphael finally spilled out what could be occurring.Pierre beamed in bitterness as Raphael's words went in tandem with what he's gotta say too. “Yes. It means Mrs Elise and Mr Royal; The Account Manager has a huge influence on the number of materials to be purchased and how much to steal without raising suspicion,” Pierre finally hit it where it stands.If this thought is factual then Raphael has more battles to conquer as Mrs Elise's influence in the company is one never to be taken fo
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 24: BEST STUDENT
Celine unleashed more smiles from her alluring cheeks. Raphael keeps raising the bar high and she couldn't help but express how delighted she seemed with Raphael's efforts to learn.“Chevalier. That's a very good question. Nice one Chevalier,” she responded in affirmation that Raphael knows what he's doing. She didn't hide the fact she was impressed with him thus far.There's a difference between asking questions or inquiring about what you seem not to know and asking thought-provoking questions that would affirm that one has been paying attention in studies. And Raphael had shown such.Despite the fact he seemed confused with some things he doesn't waste his time in asking irrelevant questions that have no essence to what brought him to The Lion Winery Industries. His questions always usher in the next stage of his lecture and Celine seemed well pleased with that.“In regards to your question. Please follow my path,” Celine kindly instructed Raphael.She ambled to the front door of t

“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 196: THE BEGINNING IS YET TO COME! PART 1
THREE MONTHS ON… “Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, it's an honor to have y'all in attendance for over two hours at the European Winery Exhibition Contest, the world's most rated Winery contest ever to breathe!” The host exclaimed in profound esteem The crowd responded in a shriek of happiness and coherence. It was indeed an honor to be invited, and I would always go down memory lane. “This year’s edition has been for over one month and today being the final, y'all stayed till the last month when the winner would be announced!” “Today’s event commenced in four, the semi-finals, and down to two finalists: The Ultimate Branded Champagne and The Lion Winery Industries.

They couldn't wait to see who would go home with the esteemed prize of the decade. In great attendance were Raphael and Celine with a group of devoted supporters; t

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
