A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2226 A Blood Oath Against Emmanuel and Mackenzie

Back at the Tanner Residence, news of Levi’s death had reached Teddy by nightfall.

Sitting in his dimly lit study, he clenched his fists, his face twisting in anguish.

“Levi… my friend…” His voice trembled, thick with grief, as he buried his face in his hands.

The room was quiet except for Aora, his most trusted confidant, standing nearby.

Seeing Teddy so devastated, Aora’s expression darkened with sorrow. “Mr. Tanner, please accept my condolences,” he stated solemnly.

To him, Teddy was a man of loyalty–he never abandoned his own. Losing yet another close ally was a wound that ran deep.

Teddy exhaled a trembling breath, his voice raw with grief. “I can’t accept this… I won’t accept this. One after another, the people I trusted most are being taken from me.”

The pain clawed at his chest, deep and unbearable. This wasn’t an act–his sorrow was real.

Aora’s fists tightened, his rage simmering just below the surface. “That d*mn couple–Emmanuel and Mackenzie–they’ve crossed the line this time!” His voice was laced with venom. “Mr. Tanner, I swear, I’ll make them suffer. I’ll tear them apart piece by piece!”

Teddy remained silent, the weight of his loss pressing down on him.

Aora took a deep breath, attempting to console him. “Don’t lose hope, Mr. Tanner. We’ll always have the chance to strike back as long as we stand. Old allies may fall, but new ones will rise. We will rebuild stronger -than before.”

Just then, the butler entered the room. “Mr. Tanner, Mr. Verkade is here.”

Teddy wiped at his damp cheeks and straightened his posture. “Gautier? Send him in.”

“Yes, Mr. Tanner.” The butler gave a slight nod before swiftly exiting the room.

A moment later, Gautier stepped inside, his gaze immediately locking onto Teddy’s grief–stricken face. His brows furrowed in concern as he asked, “Master, I just heard… Mr. Lestrange–what happened?”
