“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?” 

“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 could come to terms with.
