“Since he took office, I have lost count of the despicable actsmitted 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 rece
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 seed. 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 ofmerce, 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 regtions, and secure a
prosperous future for Nuthana’s businessmunity!”
Despite his impassioned plea, Mackenzie struggled to fullyprehend the situation.
Having faced dark forces like the Tanner Family from Onza and the Witchona Chamber of Commerce
before, shecked 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 coborate and support each other!
Although Emmanuel’s response did not entirely satisfy Stanley, Stanley chuckled happily and raised his
ss once more. “Cheers to the Quillen family!”
The four of them clinked their sses again.
However, Mackenzie couldn’t shake the feeling that Emmanuel was bing 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 itst 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 itst night?”
“Uh, well…” Emmanuel hesitated briefly before offering a sheepish smile. “I returnedtest night and
didn’t want to disturb your rest.”
She found his exnation unsatisfactory!
She chose not to pursue the topic further, so she suddenly turned cold and questioned, “Emmanuel,
are you keeping something from me?”
“Me?” He hesitated before responding, “I have no secrets from you. Besides, didn’t we agree that
couples can have their own little mysteries?”
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.
She realized that Emmanuel was foolish; he wouldn’t even lie in front of her. By admitting that, wasn’t
he already confessing that he was hiding something from her?!
Mackenzie now simply wished to remain ignorant of those things and hoped that whatever he was
concealing was something she coulde to terms with.
However, with her intelligence, she doubted thetter. If Emmanuel believed she could ept 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 ovee by a wave of nausea.
