“Yes!” Mackenzie responded without hesitation. She and Claudette were very
different types of women–Mackenzie was always brimming with confidence,
and in this matter, she was even more certain of her capabilities.
Isabella smiled faintly. “I won’t comment on whether my brother is a good
man, but under his leadership as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce,
Chanaea’s economy has advanced year after year, and the commercial
data keeps improving. That shows he is capable of holding that position.”
That progress is the result of millions of people’s hard work across Chanaea,”
Mackenzie quickly argued. “Who’s to say the economy wouldn’t improve even
faster with someone else in charge?”
Isabella chuckled again. “I admire your confidence, Ms. Quillen. But many

people are overly confident in themselves, only to make a mess of things.
How can you guarantee that, if you take the position, you’ll do better than my
brother and benefit Chanaea’s citizens?”
Mackenzie remained calm and composed, her thoughts clear as she
answered, “You’re right, Maestro Moretti. This is a world where success
defines heroes. Any promises made in words are just to inspire confidence
because no one can prove the future before it happens.”
Her response was measured, and it didn’t fall into any traps. Isabella nodded
slightly, impressed. Many would have stumbled, either panicking or making
empty, boastful claims.
“That’s exactly why I need the chance to prove myself!” Mackenzie continued.
“I need to take the position as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and,

three years from now, show you that I’ve lived up to the promise I’m making
today. Right now, all I can pledge to you is that if I take on that role, I won’t
form factions, persecute my rivals, or pursue personal gain. I won’t secretly
Wage wars for power or wealth. And if I don’t perform better than Teddy, I’ll
accept any punishment.”
Her words were powerful, carrying a sense of justice and conviction. But
Isabella responded with a disdainful laugh. “Those are just empty platitudes,
the kind anyone can say. I’m not interested in hearing such pretty promises.”
Mackenzie trembled slightly, quickly offering a humble smile. “Please
enlighten me then, Maestro.”
Isabella stood for the second time, turning her back to Mackenzie and gazing
out the window. Slowly, she spoke, “What do terms like ‘forming factions‘ and

‘personal gain‘ really mean? What does it mean to ‘eliminate rivals‘? All praise
and criticism are defined by the victor. My brother took the position as
chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and that inevitably means he
epresents the interests of a certain group. Of course, there are many who
oppose him. Should he allow them to hinder his policies and throw the
business world into chaos?
“When you’re in a position of power, you need to wield real authority. If these
people obstruct his governance, he has no choice but to remove them to
maximize the overall benefit. From the perspective of those who suffer, he
may seem like a devil. But to those who benefit, his actions are justifiable.
Survival of the fittest–those who criticize my brother are either coming from
a different perspective or have ulterior motives.”
Mackenzie listened silently, ready to respond, but Isabella raised her hand,

signaling her to wait as she continued. “You might think, Ms. Quillen, that
because I’m defending my brother, we must be close. But the truth is, I
suspect he’s the one who killed our eldest brother to seize power. Even so, the
act remains that he’s the victor.
“He has stabilized Chanaea’s business landscape for years without any
major collapses. That proves his competence. So, why take the risk of
replacing him when he’s maintaining stability?”
Mackenzie finished listening and couldn’t help but applaud lightly.
“Ms. Quillen, don’t you agree with my reasoning?” Isabella asked.
Mackenzie shook her head and spoke, plainly, “As you said, Maestro, different
perspectives lead to different opinions. You and I have no personal grudge,

right or wrong–only hatred.

“He burned down the Quillen Residence, killed my mother–in–law, and took

the lives of many innocent people in my family. I must bring him down and
see him brought to justice to honor the memory of those who died at the
Quillen Residence. Proving that I’m better suited for his position is secondary
–it’s just another reason I’m fighting for that seat.”
Isabella quietly listened as Mackenzie finished speaking, then offered a faint
smile. “Thank you, Ms. Quillen, for your honesty. I’ve seen the full picture now.”

Mackenzie followed up, “I must say, I’m also amazed by your detachment
Maestro. You suspect Teddy of killing your brother, yet you choose to remain
indifferent.”
Isabella smiled again. “As I said before, this world is governed by survival of
the fittest. If we keep seeking revenge for wrongs, there will never be an end
to it.”
Mackenzie responded candidly, “That’s something I cannot accept, and
nelther can Emmanuel. We are determined to uncover the truth behind the
Quillen family massacre and bring the culprit to justice–along with the one
responsible for starting the war that killed thousands in the Northern Region
and the Wolf Warrior Unit. If there is no justice in this world, then what
meaning is left for the so–called survivors?”

Isabella nodded slightly. “Ms. Quillen, your reasoning is valid, and I understand
your perspective. You may leave.”
Mackenzie let out a quiet breath and respectfully bowed. “Thank you for your
hospitality, and thank you for using your name to call for donations for the
disaster victims. On behalf of the officials, I express our gratitude, Maestro
Moretti.”
“Mm.” Isabella simply nodded again, saying nothing more.
Mackenzie slowly exited the room.
Yuna, seeing Mackenzie walking out unscathed, was visibly shocked. How
could her aunt have spared her?!
“Mackenzie! Are you alright?” Quintus rushed over as soon as she stepped

outside. “I heard Maestro Moretti asked to see you alone, and I was worried
she might harm you! I was ready to deal with her people if anything
happened.”
Mackenzie shot him a look. “Don’t be rash. Maestro Moretti is a wise and
enlightened person. We have no grievances, so why would she kill me?”
“Ms. Quillen, what did she say to you? Isn’t she here to support Teddy?” Lexi
asked, curious.
Mackenzie wasn’t entirely sure either, so she decided not to elaborate.
Instead, she turned to Quintus and asked, “Where’s Mr. Quail? How’s the
fundraising going?”
Quintus laughed heartily. “That gloomy old man is probably grinning ear to

ear now! Maestro Moretti’s influence is unbelievable. I reckon anyone in
Vinehurst with anything to spare has donated it to the disaster relief by now!”

Mackenzie nodded, adding, “It’s not just Maestro Moretti’s influence–Yuna
played her part too. Regardless, she’s definitely earned some reputation for
the Tanner family from this.”
“Ugh, that angelic b*tch irritates me to no end!” Quintus grumbled bluntly,
true to his straightforward nature. “She can’t hold a candle to you, Mackenzie!
How did she even make it into the Four Beauties of Zovince? It’s infuriating!”

“Enough with the nonsense!” Mackenzie chided. “Let’s get things organized
and transport the supplies to Riverhaven.”
Time was of the essence, and Mackenzie knew that while the efforts to
combat the bandits were failing, the relief work needed to succeed.
Otherwise, her chances of toppling Teddy would be slim.
