A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2232 The Comeback Begins

The entire nation was glued to the screen.

It wasn’t just Mackenzie’s allies keeping a close eye on the election–power players like Ezra, Mason, and Catherine were watching just as intently.

They all understood that this vote would shape Chanaea’s future, and once the final count was in, they would need to adjust their strategies accordingly.

Despite Teddy’s commanding lead early on, no one was rushing to declare him the winner just yet.

Watching alone, Gautier clenched his jaw. His mind raced, already calculating his next move in case Teddy

lost.

Teddy leaned toward Mackenzie, his voice laced with false humility. “Ms. Quillen, congratulations! Two votes–just like my past competitors. You’re quite remarkable.”

He didn’t need to say the rest–Mackenzie knew precisely what he meant. Every “remarkable” competitor before she had vanished–and he was implying that she would be next.

Teddy was always careful with his words, never saying anything outright incriminating. His threats were always buried beneath charm and diplomacy.

Mackenzie didn’t flinch. Instead, she met his gaze with a smile. “I appreciate the compliment, Mr. Tanner. Soon, you’ll see–I’m not like them.”

Teddy’s eyes darkened for the briefest moment before his usual smirk returned. “I look forward to it, Ms. Quillen. I’m eager to see what makes you different.”

She didn’t bother responding. The real battle wasn’t in words–it was in the votes.

Then, it began.

“Nuthana’s representative, Ronnie Silverbane, votes for Mackenzie Quillen!”

“West End’s representative, Pippa Dinan, votes for Mackenzie Quillen!”

“Arendelle’s representative, Lorcan MacSanly, votes for Mackenzie Quillen!”

One after another, the tide turned.

Mackenzie’s two votes had skyrocketed to 29 in just a few minutes, nearly closing the gap with Teddy’s 31.

For the first time, Teddy looked unsettled.

The expected votes from Nuthana and West End weren’t what bothered him–those were predictable.

The problem was that the neutral delegate from Arendelle voted for Mackenzie.

One neutral vote could be dismissed as an anomaly.

Two in a row? That was a shift.
