The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 33: BEHIND BARS
Emma Moreau broke down in tears as she saw herself handcuffed in front of her daughter and younger sister. It was done to her that fate has got more in stock for her.Laurent cried a million tears in his heart. Raphael got him in the weakest spot that escaping would be almost impossible. It wouldn't be wrong to opine that Raphael was his nightmare.Laurent stared at his household in profound shame and sneered in his heart. He never envisioned experiencing such a humiliation inflicted by the least person he would have ever imagined. Ironic!He never believed he'd be in a predicament where he wouldn't be able to offer assistance for his household. All he did was shake his head and wish it had all been a huge prank being played!When he got his wife involved in the scheme to tarnish their ex-son-in-inlaw's image and have him sacked and arrested to precipitate the divorce of his union with him. Who couldn't have thought that he would stand beside his wife; both handcuffed and disgraced?R
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 34: HE DID IT
If the Chief of Police had a half percentage of Raphael's brain and will. He would have ultimately sentenced Emma, Andre, Laurent, and Marcel to at least one-year imprisonment for their ugly scheme.But he's not and Raphael needed to get acquainted with that. He drew out a deep breath in relief. He had temporarily placed them behind bars where they wouldn't have the prowess of scheming against him or any other personnel.“Congratulations Mr Raphael,” the Chief of Police immensely opined. “You finally nailed them,” he expressed again while reaching out to handshake Raphael.Raphael reciprocated and offered his right hand out with beams triggering on their cheeks.“Mr Raphael the police force needs allies like you who would vehemently fight for their civil rights and ensure the perpetrators pay!” he expressed once again still holding Ralphael's hands, still in the handshake posture.The chief of police couldn't hide how elated he was that within the space of two weeks, Ralphael was able
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 35: THE COURSE
Within thirty minutes he was already at The Lion Winery Industries and recorded at work before 8 am which was the official time for staff to resume work. Lateness was highly prohibited.Raphael was heading toward Production, his favorite department thus far. Could it be because of Celine or strictly about learning the core magic of The Lion Champagne?His eyes beheld on Celine who was ambling out from her unit office right beside the production department.“Hey Chevalier,” she nicely greeted with her dimple popping out in every sense of excitement. She probably had missed her buddy.Raphael returned the greetings with his cheeks engrossed in a beam.“And who do we have here? My two world rank buddies,” it was no other than Pierre who sighted Raphael and Celine from five footsteps from where he stood.The three buddies reunited after a few days of not seeing each other. Their faces were bestowed with building smiles and their demeanor brightened.“Mrs Louise called in five minutes ago,
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 36: THE ENDORSEMENT
For almost a minute there was an abrupt silence in their midst after Raphael's words were voiced out.Pierre rolled his eyes and simultaneously glanced at both Raphael and Celine who were in return doing the same.Celine and Pierre whilst silent got engaged in multiple thoughts about the possibility of defeating Mrs Elise like Raphael once initiated with questions in their hearts.Raphael grew impatient with the growing silence and needed a prompt response before he took the next step on his mission.“Who's in?” he finally asked and broke the muteness.Celine and Pierre exchanged a few more glances but they had their throats cleared before attempting to respond to their friend.“Chevalier?” Celine mouthed after switching his gaze from Pierre to him.Raphael couldn't help envisioning she didn't appreciate the idea and had to call out his name first so he somewhat impassively stared at her to hear what she had to say.When Celine realized Raphael's gaze was back on her she got talking.
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 37: THE ENCOUNTER
Raphael, Pierre, and Celine quickly got involved in a muffled giggling after deducing they were all out for the mission against the notable bag eggs in The Lion Winery Industries. Celine had other reasons why she'd have chosen to walk away from the initiative. But despite the fact she loves the winemaking career she desired some level of growth from the company she works in. She knew some reformation couldn't be achieved if staff like her boss; Mrs. Loiuse and her family ties remained departmental heads. Hence, sticking with Raphael's idea and building their friendship was the best option! “Early morning gibber?” a voice struck from behind. Does it only sound like one person's voice? “All you all do is lazy about and do nothing then expect salaries, huh?” Mrs Elise, speaking of the devil, vigorously interrupted the ongoing conversation. Raphael found her words rather conflicting and hypocritical being the fact that's what her younger sister does; Mrs Louise. He couldn't just wa
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 38: THE COVERED-UP THIEVERY
Mrs. Elise found her way back to the office with a scoff written all over her slightly stiffened face.Possibly she didn't grasp what they were conversing about because if she had she shouldn't just be issuing warnings.Raphael tried to keep his mouth sealed from spilling more words that would likely have heightened the speeches with her. Things could have gotten bad.He allowed her to have her time for just that moment before he'd strike back.He ambled towards the administration bloc and joined hands in bookkeeping, writing, and replying to official memos from amongst staff or esteemed customers.He paid meticulous attention to every detail of what they did from the manner of carrying out their designated duties to their responses and gestures to one another.The few hours he spent there were worth every bit of his time as he learned more than he knew.He got a little closer to the staff there and realized the first impression he had about them was the truth, they were accommodative
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 39: HOW?
Raphael sheepishly nodded his head which signified; yes to his buddies' abrupt question.Celine and Pierre threw up into deep giggling for over a minute. Raphael just stood still and watched them enjoy the moments of their lives in profound laughter.Celine and Pierre at first presumed he was bluffing about his suggestions on thoroughly searching those offices but of course, Raphael wouldn't be bluffing about such things.A few moments ago it was Pierre and Raphael against Celine but the table swiftly turned. For some peculiar reasons, Ralphael was savoring the fact that they believed he sounded hilarious. Well, wait till he unleashes all he's got.“Ah!” Pierre screamed in surprise.“Ha-ha! Are you suggesting we go search those offices? How?” Celine had to voice out as well to affirm if Raphael truly knew what he was talking about.“Chevalier?! Do you want this mission of ours to crash even before it stands on its feet?” Celine had to inquire again so Raphael could understand how hila
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 40: ANOTHER PARTY?
“You’ve got a way?” Raphael quickly inquired with his eyeballs fixed on him. “What are your opinions?” Celine asked out of curiosity and leaned closer to him. Raphael needed to have an open mind on solutions needed in their search mission. If Peirre has plans then that makes it teamwork. “Yes the CCTV can be deactivated for a while till when we're done searching. One of the staff in the media department can play that role,” Pierre expressed in clearer terms. Raphael swiftly drifted in thought in regards to Peirre's suggestion for an extra party as he placed his right index finger on his cheeks. Celine exhaled calmly and didn't know what exactly she'd say next. “The guy in question, what happens if he decides to snitch on us and have us reported to the HR manager?” Raphael unavoidably voiced as he thought about various scenarios of things. “Who's this dude and why do you think he wouldn't be any different from the inventory officer? Don't forget Mrs Elise got other silent allies 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
