Love At The Wrong Table

“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.

“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.

Mackenzie pointed to herself in confusion while questioning if he was overestimating her abilities.
