Chapter 1962 A Divided Family
Chapter 1962
Ewald nodded in deep thought, his expression serious.
“Outrageous!” Cezar suddenly stepped forward, angrily reprimanding Denis.
“How dare you speak such treacherous words? Mr. Tanner is the chairman of
the Chamber of Commerce and has tirelessly maintained order in
Chanaea’s business world. He’s devoted his life to our country–how could
you talk about him like that?”
“Are you out of your mind, Cezar?” Denis shot back. “You’ve been brainwashed
by their propaganda! Teddy Tanner is nothing but a hypocrite, and he’s done
countless terrible things behind the scenes.
“Two years ago, the Horvath family in Eldoria was wiped out after a conflict with Teddy’s forces! And that’s not all–the major families in the West End, the Silverbane family in Nuthana, and even the Quillen family suffered because
they stood in his way. Teddy Tanner’s real goal is to take full control of
Changea’s business sector!”

His words left many of the younger members of the Toma family shaken.
Though they had heard rumors, they hadn’t known the full extent of Teddy’s
actions, let alone seen hard evidence.
“Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense!” Cezar quickly turned to Ewald, hoping to
regain control. “Father, Mr. Tanner has always supported the families that
stand with him. Look at the Quill family–they’ve prospered under his
guidance. If we align ourselves with Mr. Tanner, we too will thrive!”
Ewald hesitated, torn between the two sides.
Emmanuel, however, wasn’t interested in their internal squabble. Rising to his
feet, he spoke directly to Ewald, “Old Mr. Toma, I came here for a reason. My
sister went missing in Eldoria, and Mr. Fletcher mentioned that your family
has extensive connections here. I need your help to find her.”
Before Ewald could respond, Cezar immediately cut in, “Apologies, but we
can’t help you.”
Cezar knew Emmanuel was in direct opposition to Teddy Tanner, and he

feared that helping him would bring disaster upon the Toma family.

Associating with Emmanuel could make them a target for both Teddy and
the Quill family, and Cezar wasn’t willing to risk it.
Emmanuel’s eyes coldly narrowed as he turned to Ewald. “Does this man’s
word represent your family’s stance?”
“Of course it does!” Cezar said proudly. “I’m the head of the Toma family, and
my word is-”
“No, he does not represent our family,” Ewald finally interrupted, his voice firm
Relief swept through Denis and several others. If Ewald hadn’t spoken up,
there would be no turning back from Cezar’s rash decision.
“Father, you can’t be serious-”
“Shut your mouth!” Ewald snapped, delivering a swift slap to Cezar’s face. The
loud smack echoed through the room, leaving Cezar in stunned silence.

Everyone in the room held their breath. Ewald had been revived with a
newfound strength, and now he wasn’t holding back. Many of them shot
glances at Emmanuel, now seeing him as a force capable of not only healing
but shaking the foundations of their family.
“Mr. Lowe, I apologize for this disgraceful scene,” Ewald said, turning to
Emmanuel. “You saved my life, and as long as I’m still breathing, the Toma
family will stand with you. Your cause is now our cause.”
Ewald had made up his mind. He knew that if they didn’t align with Emmanuel
now, they might never have another chance to join forces with the Quillen
family. He’d spent decades navigating the world of business, and he
understood that the wrong choice could lead to ruin while the right one could
