Chapter 2010 The Terrifying Bandits

"Mr. Quail, I've donated a significant amount of resources. Is it too much to

ask for a tracking system to ensure the supplies are reaching those in need?" Mackenzie's tone grew firm.

Seeing that he couldn't simply push her away, Anthony resorted to stalling. "Ms, Quillen, you're adding to our workload! We're already short on staff, and

you're making things even more complicated."

Mackenzie chuckled. “That's perfect! I've brought my own team along. If

you're short-staffed, they're more than capable of stepping in. In fact, they're

highly experienced, so there's no need to worry."

"Uh..." Anthony hesitated, clearly scrambling for another excuse,

Mackenzie's eyes suddenly hardened, and she asked coldly, "Mr. Quail, are

you hiding something? If you keep stalling, I'll have no choice but to expose this mess to the public. Then you'll be facing a nationwide backlash."

Anthony was left speechless, trapped by her resolve. Mackenzie was not someone to be trifled with. No wonder she's managed to climb to the top of

the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce!

Unable to dismiss her, Anthony feared Mackenzie might see through his act. He tried to excuse himself, but Rhett stopped in once again, leaving him with no way out.

"Mr. Quall, we're just trying to ensure the disaster relief efforts are honest and fair. We won't stand by and let the supplies be siphoned off by corrupt hands," Mackenzie said, her gaze sharp.

"Mr. Jidrus Abovos already told me that hardly any of the supplies have reached Riverhaven. If this blows up, you won't be able to contain the fallout." "Well... Um..." Anthony finally broke under the pressure and sighed heavily. "Ms. Quillen, I've been forced into this! Those supplies weren't stolen by me-they Chapter 2010 The Terrifying Bandits

were taken by bandits!"

"Bandits?"

Mackenzie's brow furrowed, still not fully convinced.

Noticing her doubt, Anthony exclaimed, swear on my life, it's true! If I'm lying, may a terrible fate befall me!"

The way he spoke and the desperation in his expression made Mackenzie believe there was some truth to his words, but she wasn't fully convinced yet. "If you were raided by bandits, why didn't you report it? Are you just trying to cover your own incompetence with excuses?"

"Report it? Report it to whom?"

Anthony and his staff sighed in unison, their frustration evident.

"Ms, Quillen, you're not from the West End. You don't know how things work

here!"
