“Since he took office, I have lost count of the despicable acts committed by his
followers, the number of businesses and families destroyed by him, and the lives
lost in misery! Teddy's motto is simple-obey him and thrive or oppose him and
perish. Because the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce refuses to comply with his
demands, he has resorted to sending assassins after me and even plotting to
replace me!”
Mackenzie empathized with Stanley's outburst and gently interjected, “I
understand, Old Mr. Silverbane. Please calm down.”
“I apologize for my outburst!”
Stanley took a deep breath, expressed his regret, and settled back into his seat.
“Ms. Quillen, you must be aware that the Tanner family from Onza is also aligned
with Teddy. They are leveraging every resource to recruit other factions into the
Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, slowly undermining its integrity, with the
ultimate goal of impeaching me and seizing control. But as long as I breathe, I
will not allow them to succeed. Please assist me, Ms. Quillen!”
“Me?”
Mackenzie pointed to herself in confusion while questioning if he was
overestimating her abilities.
“Yes!”
He remained steadfast in his belief that a woman admired by the hero of the
Northern Region would possess a strong sense of justice. “Despite the infiltration
of other chambers of commerce, the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce remains
under my influence. I seek the aid of the Quillen family and Mr. Lowe to eradicate
the malevolent forces within the chamber, establish fair regulations, and secure a
prosperous future for Nuthana's business community!”
Despite his impassioned plea, Mackenzie struggled to fully comprehend the
situation.
Having faced dark forces like the Tanner Family from Onza and the Witchona
Chamber of Commerce before, she lacked a deep-seated animosity and was
unsure how to proceed.
Emmanuel, who had been silent, finally spoke up in support of Mackenzie.
“Indeed, we are now members of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce and
reaping its benefits. It is only fitting that we contribute to upholding its rules
and fairness.”
How could he refuse?
Stanley's objective aligned closely with his own, both aiming to bring down Teddy.
It made perfect sense for them to collaborate and support each other!
Although Emmanuel’s response did not entirely satisfy Stanley, Stanley chuckled
happily and raised his glass once more. “Cheers to the Quillen family!”
The four of them clinked their glasses again.
However, Mackenzie couldn't shake the feeling that Emmanuel was becoming
increasingly enigmatic.
He must be concealing something from her...
After bidding farewell to the Silverbane family, the two couples headed home.
Upon exiting the car, Mackenzie couldn't contain her curiosity. “Why did you save
Old Mr. Silverbane and his granddaughter from such a big trouble and not say a
word to me about it last night?”

Upon exiting the car, Mackenzie couldn't contain her curiosity. “Why did you save
Old Mr. Silverbane and his granddaughter from such a big trouble and not say a
word to me about it last night?”
“Uh, well...” Emmanuel hesitated briefly before offering a sheepish smile. “I
returned late last night and didn’t want to disturb your rest.”
She found his explanation unsatisfactory!
She chose not to pursue the topic further, so she suddenly turned cold and
questioned, “Emmanuel, are you keeping something from me?”

It was a pact they made three months before their marriage!
Mackenzie hadn't anticipated that it would now be used against her.
“Well, just make sure I don't find out, or you may not like my reaction!” Mackenzie
warned wearily before walking ahead alone.

However, with her intelligence, she doubted the latter. If Emmanuel believed she
could accept it, why lie and deceive her?
They returned to the house in silence while lost in their own thoughts.
Although Beatrix had not yet returned, Mackenzie still secluded herself in the
room.
Barf!
Just as she was about to sit down, she was suddenly overcome by a wave of
nausea.
