The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 61: EYES ON FOUR
{_PRESENT TIME_}Mrs Louise, Mr. Chase, and Mr. Josue sauntered further to have their seats. They haven't met the founder for a long time. They suspended the uncontrollable questions in their hearts and did as being told; “Sit Down”Mrs Elise slightly sighed and continuously rolled her eyes in anticipation whilst heading to the seat. She felt uneasy and had a weird feeling about the impromptu meeting.Most Staff and Management of The Lion King Winery Industries were inarguably seated.Some couldn't drop off their bags at their respective units that morning. They quickly got notified of the meeting accompanied by the unexpected presence of Jacques Claude Gauthier.Jacques Claude Gauthier was seated beside the staff. He ensured his eyes would be on the well-fixed screen projector.The media department had exhausted over ten minutes in preparing the necessary projecting materials at the same time Mrs Elise and her cohort were contemplating the unverified purpose of the meeting.Celine, B
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 62: FAMILY TIES TO THE MUD!
Jacques Claude Gauthier quickly winked at the Media department personnel who grasped what the hint was all about. They shone their camera on the document for it to reflect on the screen projector for all to behold.An indistinct conversation began amongst the staff and management as everyone got something to spill after Jacques Claude Gauthier brought forth those documents.All eyes went to the screen projector to grasp a better view of the documents. Mrs Elise meticulously went through and smirked out deeply. Her family cohorts hands were profusely shaking as they beheld their names boldly written on it. Would they go ahead and deny it?“On your feet!” Jacques Claude Gauthier vigorously mouthed.Mr Chase, Mr Josue, and Mrs. Louise quickly arose with their palms sweaty, their heads barely above the downward position.The guilt was damn etching on their faces, they didn't hide how perplexed they were. But the anchor schemer scoffed more in her heart and stood her ground of non-involvem
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 63: BEATEN IN HER OWN GAME!
Jacques Claude Gauthier firmly voiced out and threw the documents before her eyes. The media team wasted no time capturing it on the screen to remove doubts and numerous questions in everyone's thoughts.All should have a look and affirm for themselves.Mrs Elise slowly arose with the notion of reading through the documents slammed by Jacques Claude Gauthier.She had no guts to stare at the screen.The staff and management had already gone through documents and grasped all the shady business she'd been into for the past ten months.The different companies she had business dealing with and the percentage at which was involved. There's absolutely no place to run or hide.Moments ago she fiercely denied being involved in such dealings and a few minutes later evidence of her involvement was completely shown. Would she go ahead and deny claims of being fabricated?Mrs. Elise gently read through the documents because it's been a while since she set her eyes on them after safeguarding them i
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 64: HIS EMERGENCE PART 1
“Raphael!” Jacques Claude Gauthier's voice echoed.Indistinct words built up the more. The staff and management got more confused about who Raphael was as no staff of theirs goes by such a name.Pierre, Blaise, and Celine leaned further and rested their palms across their knees to deduce who the new Managing Director was.Elise, Louise, Josue, and Chase didn't do otherwise as they all glanced around to behold whoever this Raphael was.The interest of the staff and management grew every single second for evidence of what they needed to know. It seems like the more they glance around the more confused they become.‘Who's this Ralphael of a guy? Do any of us bear Ralphael as a last name?’ they kept asking themselves as the atmosphere got intrigued with more confusion.Suddenly, a certain man conveniently sat beside Jacques Claude Gauthier in a white suit with a black tie.His face was undoubtedly new and none of the staff had seen him before that very moment but because he ambled into th
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 65: HIS EMERGENCE PART 2 “THE GAUTHIER”
Jacques Claude Gauthier together with the staff and management beheld true friendship experimented in their eyes. Blaise was rather thrown into emotions that he was the last to join the Allies and had most of the doubt on how successful they would become.For a second he reminisced on that very day Pierre did all he could to convince him to help. He wouldn't have forgiven himself if he hadn't played his integral part.The Allies without Raphael uttering further words quickly understood the weight of responsibility that rested on his shoulders all these while.They understood why he couldn't tell them he was “Raphael and not Chevalier” They would possibly have done the same if they happened to walk in his shoes.You probably could be wondering about the choice of Skin Mask that Raphael and his grandfather employed to cause a diversion in the sight of the staff.The answer has been closer all this while. Raphael spent a couple of reasonable hours divulging the fund embezzlement scheme t
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 66: HIS EMERGENCE PART 3
The staff and management chattered in extreme happiness when those words gutted out from one of the sergeants who maintained a serious expression.Elise, Brute Chase, and Louise didn't utter any single word in defense or strive to pull any sort of resistance. All they did was keep mute and stand still.Mrs Louise fought so hard to curtail her emotions but the thought of being arrested triggered tears out from her eyes and willingly flew down her cheeks.Mr. Brute and Mr. Chase beheld as their bloodline whimpered deep tears and they felt hopeless. They couldn't do anything to stop her from expressing her saddened emotions. They were also about to face the same fate as hers.Mrs. Elise couldn't even stare at her younger sister's eyes even when she knew her eyes had met some pool of tears. All she did was maintain a lower gaze in shame as deep realization struck her.She was the architect in employing her family relations and had them mentored in fund embezzlements. But at the first proo
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 67: HIS EMERGENCE PART 4 “The New Path”
Benoit made his way into hall three at the same time the culprits were about to be removed by the sergeants.He had a cogent need to attend that very morning so he couldn't join Jacques Claude Gauthier's ride to The Lion Winery Industries.He didn't want to be told of Rapahel's emergence as he had longed for it for the longest time.One of the sergeants pushed Mrs Louise towards the path leading to the entrance door.Behold her eyes met with Benoit who was expecting to see her in handcuffs when he finally arrived at the hall.Both exchanged some uncontrollable eye contact as their paths crossed. Mrs Louise unleashed a disdainful glare at Benoit for using her as a tool for Raphael's indictment game.Benoit in response felt no remorse whatsoever and never envisioned anything serious happening between them. Why should he get worried about what she thought?No one understood the continuous eye contact between the two except Raphael Gauthier who knew how well Benoit played his cards that h
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 68: THE COURT CASE PART 1
Raphael Gauthier with the help of the CPO ensured the trial of Mrs Elise and her cohorts proceeded within the week after their arrest. Having them thrown behind bars was Raphael's utmost revenge against them.The Paris Constitutional Court had accepted to judge over the embezzlement case which according to the law was labeled a white-collar crime; Fiduciary responsibility placed upon a person.Raphael maintained his integrity just as he did when THE CPO declared his judgment against ex-family in-laws and their cohorts. He never went ahead to offer a bribe or whatsoever but in all let the law be observed.The embezzlement scheme against the Lion Winery Industries was televised on different local and international telecommunication companies beyond the Paris frontier to different countries in Europe.Newspaper headlines for more than four days had the hot court case of how the judge would soon proclaim judgment against the so-called culprits.The story spread like wildfire about how a c

“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
