“I must make a trip to the West End,” Mackenzie declared, her voice steady
yet firm.
At this pronouncement, Emmanuel felt his heart leap into his throat. “Why?”
he exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and concern etching itself across his
features.
Even Roselynn appeared taken aback. “Yes, the West End is one of the most
dangerous places in Chanaea. You just gave birth; you shouldn’t be
wandering around there.”
“Please calm down.” Mackenzie smiled with her intention to soothe their
anxiety evident. “I came to this decision after careful consideration.”
“Now, with only sixty–three days left until the new president of the General
Chamber of Commerce takes office, I conducted thorough investigations
and analyses. There are a total of 277 representatives from chambers of
commerce across the country. Even if we manage to secure all the votes

from Yeringhom, we would only have 99 votes at most. Meanwhile, Teddy’s
Action holds at least 150 votes, with the rest belonging to the moderates.”
So, before the election, we must change at least thirty representatives”
stances and gather as many moderates as we can to have any chance of
winning Emmanuel responded, nodding gravely.
“Given the current situation, we indeed find ourselves at a significant
disadvantage. The president of the General Chamber of Commerce wields
enormous influence and can rally support for the national elections. If Teddy
remains in his position, his wife, Catherine, is highly likely to win the national
election.
“Exactly. So, this trip to the West End is essential, not just for us but for the
entire nation’s future.” Mackenzie’s expression shifted, becoming resolute as
she continued her analysis. “We have already gained control of the Nuthana.
The northern region is too far, and the eastern region is tightly controlled by
Teddy. Our only breakthrough point lies in the sparsely populated West End.
Its economy is underdeveloped, which has led Teddy to neglect it. We have a
chance there.*

Emmanuel nodded again, fully aware of his wife’s sharp intellect and having
no reason to doubt her judgment.
“However, Mackenzie, I have two important tasks that require me to go to the
capital. I may not be able to protect you in the West End. I genuinely worry for
your safety. Besides, the baby still needs you, right?” His concern lingered in
the air, heavy and palpable.
“Don’t worry,” Mackenzie reassured him, her gaze steady and unwavering
with a warm smile. “With Rhett safeguarding me, who could pose a threat?
Moreover, the Quillen family has not only regained its strength but has
become exceptionally powerful. I’ll be taking a team of a hundred with me to
the West End.”
Emmanuel nodded, yet his concern lingered. “I should still send some skilled
individuals to protect you.”
Mackenzie understood that if she outright refused, his unease would only
deepen. With a subtle inclination of her head, she acquiesced, allowing him
to make whatever arrangements he deemed necessary.

held the video colt in her office, and shortly after hanging up, Lexi entered
with a report. Ms. Quillen, Gautier wants to see you.”
“Oh?” Mackenzie was somewhat surprised but nodded. “Let him in.”
Understood
Once Lexi exited, it wasn’t long before Gautier stepped into the office, a smile
brightening his face. He first cast a glance at the cradle in the corner and
playfully teased Caden before turning his attention to Mackenzie. “Mackenzie,
your baby is adorable. With your genes, he’ll undoubtedly grow up to be
Yeringham’s most handsome young man.”
Mackenzie scoffed in mock disdain. “What are you trying to say? Who doesn’t
know that the most handsome guy in Yeringham is you, Mr. Gautier?”
Gautier blinked in surprise before bursting into laughter. “I didn’t mean
anything by it. I’ve never considered myself the most handsome in
Yeringham; otherwise, how could I ever lose to Emmanuel? He truly is the
most handsome one.”

Rolling her eyes in disbelief, Mackenzie cut to the chase. “What do you want,
then? Did you come just to admire my baby?”
To be honest, with Rhett stationed just outside the window, Mackenzie felt no
concern that Gautier would pose any throat to her.
Of course, Gautier would never dream of such a thing. He merely smiled and
said, “Mackenzie, I’ve already transferred the shares in my possession back to
you, as per our agreement. Now, I only hold 5% of the shares in Terence
Group. You should feel reassured about that, right?”
Mackenzie acknowledged this with a simple “Hmm,” offering no further
response. Recovering the shares of the Verkade family had been her first
priority upon reclaiming Terence Group. Now that she had returned, she
would ensure that past mistakes would not be repeated.
By significantly reducing Gautier’s controlling shares, she effectively
diminished the Verkade family’s capacity to create chaos within the Terence
Group as they once had.

“Mackenzie, if this is how I can earn your trust, I’d be willing to sell you the last
5% of my shares as well,” Gautier offered, his tone both proactive and sincere.
“Oh? So, you don’t want to help me anymore? Don’t you wish to assist me in
reaching the pinnacle?” Mackenzie raised an eyebrow, returning his question
with a playful half–smile. Since Gautier had always claimed such noble
intentions, she decided to play along, feigning belief in his sincerity.
“Of course not. Regardless of whether I have shares, I will strive for you. You
know my reasons,” he replied, his smile softening as he evaded further
declarations of affection that would only deepen the discomfort for both her
and Emmanuel.
“Keep the remaining shares for yourself,” Mackenzie suggested, her voice
steady. “I don’t believe there’s such a thing as a free lunch in this world. Who
would work for me without some incentive?”
By choosing not to seize his final shares, she ensured Gautier remained in
play, a strategic decision in line with her earlier intentions. She still needed to
leverage his skills for her benefit, for his business acumen truly stood out.

Mociente suddenly called out to him. As soon as he turned back, she continued, “Terence Group is preparing to expand I plan to establish a
branch office in Zovince right away. After much consideration, I’ve realized that you are the most suitable person to lead this new venture.
Gautier pointed to himself, his face brightening with excitement. “Mackenzie,
you finally believe in me?”
“How strange. Haven’t I always believed in you?” Mackenzie chuckled, her
eyes twinkling with amusement. If both Emmanuel and I hadn’t trusted you,

you would probably be in a much worse situation by now, wouldn’t you?”
“That’s true.” Gautier smiled in agreement, feeling a swell of gratitude.
“Time will tell. I hope you won’t let me down,” she added, her tone shifting to
one of earnest seriousness.
Gautier returned her serious gaze with a charming smile. “Mackenzie, don’t
worry. I hold 5% of the shares, and as Terence Group flourishes, I will rise
alongside it.”
Mackenzie smiled and waved him off. “Alright, you can go now. I have faith in
you.”
With that encouragement, Gautier departed with a renewed sense of
purpose.
Before long, Lexi entered, curiosity etched across her features. “Ms. Quillen, do
you truly trust Gautier? Aren’t you concerned that once he arrives in Zovince,
he might collude with Teddy and turn against us?”

“Whether I trust him or not doesn’t matter. A branch manager has little power
anyway, especially with me overseeing things.” Mackenzie spoke with
confidence. “Even if the branch fails, the losses are manageable.
“And Emmanuel is also coming soon. If Gautier remains loyal, he can assist
Emmanuel. But if he has ulterior motives, I believe Emmanuel will be more
than capable of handling him. This serves as the ultimate test for both him
and us.”
Lexi seemed to grasp the situation, nodding thoughtfully as the weight of the
conversation settled.
Mackenzie’s gaze deepened, her thoughts turning to the challenges ahead.
Emmanuel’s impending arrival in Zovince signaled an impending
confrontation with Teddy.
She knew she needed to alter the current landscape before the election to
support Emmanuel, shift the tide of the nation, and ultimately benefit
