A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 2001

Chapter 2001 

In a modest residential area in the Onza district of Zovince, Teddy sat 

comfortably, fully immersed in the day’s national news broadcast. The 

headlines flickered across the screen, capturing his attention. 

“Severe floods ravaged the West End of Chanaea, displacing hundreds of 

thousands. The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Teddy, promptly 

called upon all sectors of society to donate aid and dispatched teams to the 

disaster areas for relief. 

“Teddy generously donated fifteen million in private funds to the disaster 

zone. The chairman, known for his frugal lifestyle, consistently dedicated 

himself to charitable and public welfare initiatives…” 

As Teddy absorbed the headlines and summaries, a satisfied smile graced 

his face, a reflection of his commitment to the community. Just then, a 

sudden ping interrupted his thoughts. An anonymous message had arrived, 

revealing the latest movements of Mackenzie, the chairman of the Nuthana 

Chamber of Commerce.

After a moment’s contemplation, Teddy decided it was time to act. He quickly 

summoned his assistant, Levi, along with the four key envoys, who swiftly 

gathered in the elegantly arranged meeting room. 

“I apologize for calling you here tonight on such short notice,” Teddy began, 

his tone serious yet approachable. “However, a matter of urgency has arisen 

that requires your assistance.” 

Teddy took it upon himself to personally arrange the banquet, extending his 

utmost courtesy to the five individuals. 

“Mr. Tanner, please, feel free to give us your orders,” Levi said respectfully, his 

demeanor confident and unwavering. The four envoys remained standing, 

ready to listen, their expressions keen and attentive. 

“Here’s the situation,” Teddy explained, his gaze steady. “I received 

information from Nuthana indicating that Mackenzie intends to travel to the 

West End. She likely aims to rally support.” 

He paused, ensuring the weight of his words sank in. “The West End

represents our weakest foothold. Should she succeed in her mission, it could 

jeopardize my re–election and, by extension, disrupt the national elections. 

For the sake of stability in Chanaea, we cannot allow that woman to 

succeed.* 

“Understood. We will take her down,” Aora responded, saluting with 

determination, her spirit resolute. 

Teddy suddenly erupted in laughter, pointing at Aora with an amused glint in 

his eyes. “Aora, how should I praise you? You’re so quick to resort to violence! 

That will not do, especially when dealing with women; one must be gentle, 

you understand?” 

Aora rolled his eyes, fully aware of Teddy’s playful intent but unable to resist 

replying, “Mr. Tanner, we know you possess a kind heart and act for the good 

of the nation. While we might refrain from outright murder if Mackenzie were 

to accidentally meet her end, we wouldn’t exactly be obligated to save her, 

would we?” 

Teddy laughed again, his demeanor light and infectious. “Aora, handle it as

you see fit. I trust you to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.” 

With a respectful bow, Aora turned to lead his three companions out of the 

room. As they departed, they muttered among themselves, a knowing 

camaraderie evident in their voices. The common people might not grasp 

who Teddy truly was, but they did. 

“It’s exhausting to keep up appearances,” one of them remarked. 

“Mr. Tanner, they seem to misunderstand you,” Levi observed after the four 

had left. A soft sigh escaped him, the weight of his loyalty evident. His 

dedication to Teddy stemmed from genuine admiration, a stark contrast to 

the self–serving motivations of Aora and the others. 

“Haha, how many true confidants does one encounter in life?” Teddy replied, 

his relaxed demeanor unshaken as he sipped his drink. A sense of 

melancholy flickered across his features. “In this world, one can either be 

mundane or solitary. When perched high above, the chill sets in. To have 

even one or two true friends is a blessing–enough. Haha…”

Levi found himself in awe of Teddy’s poise. While many perceived him as a 

villainous hypocrite, Levi knew the truth: Teddy genuinely cared for the 

nation’s people. Some bloodshed, he reasoned, was simply the consequence 

of justice. 

“By the way, Mr. Tanner, here is the Dragon Tome that Aora brought back,” 

Levi seized the opportunity to present a weathered book. “It is said that 

mastering this internal skill can extend one’s lifespan. You are vital to the 

stability of Chanaea, and I suggest you ponder its contents.” 

Teddy accepted the tome, contemplating it with a thoughtful expression 

before bursting into laughter. “How can you be certain it is authentic?” 

Levi hesitated, shaking his head slowly. “I cannot confirm its authenticity. It is 

up to you to discern the truth.” 

In his eyes, Teddy was a sage–a wise man capable of discerning reality from 

deception. 

“Very well, I will give it due consideration.” He tucked the book away, then

suddenly inquired, “What do you think of this young man, Gautier?” 

“He is a remarkable individual,” Levi replied, not holding back in his praise. “He 

embodies many traits of a great leader patience, an ability to conceal his 

brilliance, and both courage and ruthlessness. Most importantly, he 

possesses a keen sense of timing. If given the right circumstances, he might 

very well become another president like yourself.” 

“Haha… so you’re saying I am also ruthless?” Teddy threw back his head, 

laughter spilling from his lips like a refreshing spring. 

“Mr. Tanner, I didn’t mean it that way.” 

Levi, feeling the heat of embarrassment rise, broke into a cold sweat. He 

rushed to clarify, “Mr. Tanner, you are just and righteous. Thus, your 

ruthlessness serves the greater good of the country.” 

“Enough already. No more flattery that might backfire. Hahaha…” 

Teddy waved his hand dismissively, his laughter echoing in the room. He had

no intention of lingering on the topic. Yet, a sudden sigh escaped him as he 

added, “Whether you call me just or evil, my greatest regret is that I have no 

heir,” 

Levi understood the weight of Teddy’s words and the pain that hung over him 

like a dark cloud. 

Teddy’s wife, Catherine, had endured a severe injury in her youth that 

rendered her unable to bear children. 

As for Teddy’s other brothers, their offspring were a mixed bag. His daughter, 

Yuna, shone with talent in both arts and skills. However, his sons were nothing 

more than disappointments, unable to rise to the occasion. 

No matter how great Teddy was, he found himself with no one to pass his 

legacy to, and the thought gnawed at him. 

“Mr. Tanner, are you suggesting you want to train Gautier?” 

Levi gasped in surprise, the realization dawning on him. “This young man 

could be useful to us, but he is not to be trusted. His ambitions may be vast,

and his loyalties are uncertain.”
