Chapter 2000 The Ultimate Trial Chapter 2000 "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 cto 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.* 2/10 1647 FH, Nov 22 DB.
Chapter 2000 The Dhimate Trial 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 requireto 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 becexceptionally powerful. I'll be taking a team of a hundred withto the West End." Emmanuel nodded, yet his concern lingered. "I should still send sskilled 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 handsyoung man." Mackenzie scoffed in mock disdain. "What are you trying to say? Who doesn't know that the most handsguy 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 handsin Yeringham; otherwise, how could I ever lose to Emmanuel? He truly is the most handsone." 4/10 72% Chapter 2000 The ate Trial Rolling her eyes in disbelief, Mackenzie cut to the chase. "What do you want, then? Did you cjust 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.

"Oh? So, you don't want to helpanymore? Don't you wish to assistin 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 forwithout sincentive?" 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.

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, 7/10 16:47 Nov Chapter 2000 The Ultimate Trial you would probably be in a much worse situation by now, wouldn't you?" "That's true."

m "Twill tell. I hope you won't letdown," 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?" 8/10 Chapter 2000 The Unavate Thal "Whether I trust him or not doesn't matter. A branch manager has little power anyway, especially withoverseeing 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
