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

Benoit also ambled from the front seat and stood behind his bosses who were glancing through the media team who seemed persuasive.Raphael Gauthier and Jacques Claude Gauthier maintained a mild expression intending to head into the courtroom.Camera shutters vehemently continued and within a second they were heavily surrounded by various journalists who had lots of questions to ask.“Mr. Raphael Gauthier? Mr Raphael Gauthier?”“Please just a little moment. We won't take much of your time.”“Mr Raphael Gauthier. The court case would commence in fifteen minutes. Please. We've got some questions to ask.”The media personnel and journalists didn't seem like they'd back down any time soon and their staunch desire to question the Plenfitt family seemed incessant to an extent.“Back off, please. The Gauthier family would entertain all noted questions after the court judgment. But for now, do back off,” Benoit intervened with those speeches.The senior butler was quite careful not to physical

Hugo Lambert after “The Moreau’s” was jailed for six months has been striving to get hold of Chloe but to no avail.Her mind was completely off the marriage plans as that wasn't part of her plans except for her family that instilled into her reasons to divorce Raphael Gauthier.Hugo never knew of Rapahel's grandfather until about two months ago when his older stepbrother bought Stamford Luxury and Suites and got his ex-family in-laws outrightly sacked.The court case was to commence in seconds and the judge didn't disappoint in any way in being late. Judge Adele was fully represented with her long black robe, a white shirt, and collar with her distinguished wig.She majestically sat down and glanced as the thirteen culprits made their way into the courtroom well guarded by several policemen with their hands handcuffed.The courtroom was already filled up by several personalities who needed to see for themselves how the well-publicized embezzlement scheme court case would unfold.Some
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 71: THE COURT CASE PART 4
The court session thus far has been proceeding perfectly well for The plaintiff group. They seemed to have been well organized and had all the necessary onions in place to close up the case in less than forty minutes.“I related with Mrs Louise, the ex-Production officer of my failure in successfully referring other clients. She smiled and insisted I pull off more strings to ensure the shady business grew beyond what it was.”“The last shady business we had was just about two months ago before I got caught up by Mr Raphael Gauthier. At that point of discussion, I never knew he was Mr. Jacques Claude Gauthier's grandson. I confessed and spilled my involvement thus far and how the nature of operations based on my distinct knowledge,” Mr Bruce didn't leave any stone unturned. He made sure his words stood firm like the fact he was boldly spilling.Mrs Elise slightly shook her head knowing despite all those words from Mr Bruce she would have still escaped being jailed because none of the d
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 72: DENVER HAS TESTIFIED; THE COURT CASE PART 5
Raphael Gauthier retained his stare at Mr. Denver and shook his head in disappointment with the fact that such a person was once the managing director of his grandfather's company. Just like he is and couldn't help but wonder why Mr. Denver didn't do better.He was lucky he reached out to him before the indictment documents were found. If he hadn't and there was the slightest hint that someone like him was still alive. Then the scenario would have been a lot more different.Hearing the first few sentences uttered by Mr. Denver. Jacques Claude Gauthier uncontrollably questioned what he truly saw in such a man to have trusted him that much when pretense and schemes were the order of the day.One of Jacques Claude Gauthier's weaknesses was quick to trust. For the first time in a very long time, it seemed like he was trusting the perfect ally that should take his company to the next level.Or would you not agree to that?Mrs Elise couldn't switch her gaze towards Mr. Denver. She had alrea
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 73: THE JUDGMENT; THE COURT CASE PART 6
If there was a way for Raphael Gauthier to unleash the words out of Mr. Denver's mouth. He wouldn't hesitate to do that because the court session was taking longer than it should.“Two of the assassins confirmed that they were being sent by Mrs. Elise to have me eliminated so I wouldn't get a share of the shady deal profits the next day,” he finally unleashed. His eyes intentionally gazed at Elise.“What!” most of the personalities in the courtroom echoed. Not only did he bring her into the game but she almost got him murdered!? They couldn't help but inquire among themselves.The embezzlement scheme court case was deeper than they envisioned. It pretty much seems like it's worth all the media publicity.Amongst the court attendees are also young winery companies who are growing and need to learn from The Lion Winery Industries story and how they've stood firm despite her bad eggs!Mrs. Elise exhaled a hitch breath. The moment she most disgusted had befall her. She knew that was the m
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 74: A HATE AMONGST LOVE
“Curtis? You're really Curtis?” Raphael Gauthier asked out of curiosity.Curtis muffed a chuckle at how he was surprised to have met him. Pierre once enlightened him about Curtis and his efforts to save The Lion Winery Industries but failed because of Mr. Chase.The Curtis incident was the major reason Mrs. Elise started paying attention to the CCTV camera footage to deduce if anything out of the ordinary was ongoing in the company.“Yes Sir. I am Curtis. I've got no counterfeit,” he boldly responded, still muffling beams.Raphael Gauthier willingly offered him a hug and held him for over ten seconds. He was elated to meet a like-minded personnel like him.Having stared deep into Curtis's eyes. He understood why he'd always stand for what he believed. The fire in his eyes screamed; “Fearlessness” Ralphael Gauthier believed that fate ushered Curtis to him for a reason and not by mere coincidence. They would have possibly met during the search mission. Why after the court case?Celine,

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
