Chapter 1270 Nothing More Than a Lapdog
After the press conference, he went straight back to the company with his bruised body instead ofgoing home because there was a woman who wanted to see him!
“Mr. Verkade, you’re back? Ms. Zelinsky is in your office!”
Alani Hurst was Gautier’s personal female assistant and also one of his admirers. She wassurprised to see him in his current state!
She had never seen the assertive Gautier look so disheveled and exhausted. It seemed thateverything that happened at the press conference was true. Did he really fail to win the woman fromanother man?
Gautier didn’t pay any attention to Alani. He walked straight into his office and found Hattie sitting inhis chair, with Dominique standing behind her.
His office was filled with black-clad bodyguards.
All of them belonged to Hattie!
The scene was extravagant and shocking!
“Ms. Zelinsky, how dare you… sit in Mr. Verkade’s seat? This is-”
“Someone, go and slap her!”
Before Alani could finish her sentence, Dominique immediately gave a cold order.
“Yes!”
A black-clad bodyguard stepped forward and slapped Alani hard across the face.
Alani’s fair and tender face immediately swelled up like a bun. She looked helplessly at Gautier,hoping that he would come to her rescue.
Little did she expect that he didn’t even look at her. Instead, he smiled at Hattie and asked, “Ms.Zelinsky, what can I do for you?”
“Stop there!” Dominique called out coldly to him again with a proud and icy gaze. “How dare adisloyal dog like you come near Ms. Zelinsky?”
Gautier’s expression faltered slightly, but he quickly regained his smiling face.
Even Alani could tell that Gautier’s smile now was extremely awkward. She had never seen him insuch a humble state before!
“Gautier, you have quite the audacity!”
Hattie finally said something and revealed her stunningly beautiful oval face. Yet, it instilled a senseof fear that made one’s heart tremble.
“Ms. Zelinsky, I don’t understand what you mean.”
Gautier continued to smile, but beads of sweat had started to form on his forehead.
Hattie didn’t bother to play along and said directly, “The Verkade family’s collaboration with theZelinsky family generates an annual revenue of over 1.2 billion, with profits exceeding 150 million. Ifthe Zelinsky family were to withdraw their investment and terminate the collaboration whatconsequences do you think the Verkade family.

Ifthe Zelinsky family were to withdraw their investment and terminate the collaboration, whatconsequences do you think the Verkade family would face?”
“Ms. Zelinsky, haven’t we always had a pleasant collaboration? Why are you saying this-”
“Shut up!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Dominique interrupted him coldly.
Gautier immediately dared not speak any further.
At this moment, Alani’s heart was incredibly shaken!
In her eyes, Hattie was the queen!
Only a queen could turn the assertive Gautier into an ordinary man who was humble to this extent!
“The collaboration has indeed been relatively pleasant, but you have made me very unhappy!”
Hattie immediately spoke up, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You actually want to joinforces with the enemies of the Zelinsky family? Are you trying to get rid of the Zelinsky family?Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned. Your self-directed drama still hasn’t wonMackenzie’s favor. You’re truly useless!”
Upon listening to such a scathing insult, Gautier looked quite unpleasant at the moment, no matterhow composed he was, but he dared not speak.
Hattie continued, “If we were to end our cooperation with the Verkade family immediately, we mightexperience a small loss, but that would be insignificant for the Zelinsky family. However, have youconsidered the consequences for the Verkade family? It could be disastrous for you!”
Gautier finally managed a bitter smile.
He knew very well that Hattie was not making empty threats. If the Zelinsky family were to terminatetheir cooperation with the Verkade family, the Verkade family would undoubtedly suffer a severeblow, even if it didn’t collapse immediately!
The Verkade family also relied heavily on the Zelinsky family for their business. If the Zelinsky familywere to use their influence through the chamber of commerce to suppress the Verkade family, itwould be the end for them!
After all, the Verkade family was not like the Quillen family. They didn’t possess the Heart of theSun, nor did they have independent and unique business autonomy!
“Ms. Zelinsky, there’s really no need for this! The Verkade family has always been a loyal partner tothe Zelinsky family-”
“Partner?”
Hattie immediately interrupted with a cold laugh. “Mr. Verkade, have you misjudged the situation?You are nothing more than a lapdog that the Zelinsky family keeps in Yeringham!”
