“It has been a long time, but seeing you again doesn’t make me happy.”

In the end, as a leader, Mackenzie responded to Gautier

“Haha, I know why you’re unhappy, but I have to say, I’m quite pleased to see you.” Gautier laughed heartily. “Looks like we’re really in sync–we even picked the same place to host our dinner parties.”

Mackenzie merely sneered.

Emmanuel, however, wasn’t nearly as polite. “Looks like you’re still as shameless, hypocritical, and disgusting as ever.”

“Haha…” Gautier let out a hearty laugh. “Thanks! Coming from you, that’s actually a compliment. After all, every single person standing behind me sees you as an enemy.”

Emmanuel’s gaze swept past Gautier, taking in the faces behind him.

Sure enough, many of them were glaring at him with barely restrained hostility. Some looked like they would have lunged at him if not for their companions holding them back.

But Emmanuel ignored their animosity entirely. Instead, he said, “Since our paths are different, there’s no point in wasting time here. Mackenzie, let’s go inside.”

“Alright.” Mackenzie nodded, leading the Nuthana and West End representatives into the hotel, heading to the left wing.

Gautier, unfazed, smirked and led his group toward the right wing.

Though Veronica hadn’t refused to accommodate Gautier’s people, she still made sure Nathan went to the left wing.

“Master, you won’t hold this against my sister, will you? Nathan hurriedly walked up to Emmanuel, a hint of nervousness in his voice. The last thing he wanted was to strain his relationship with his mentor.

But there was nothing he could do–Veronica had learned from their father, and in business, neutrality was often the safest route. Especially now, when the stakes were this high–a wrong move could jeopardize the Chapman family’s future.

Supporting Emmanuel’s side already came with great risks. If Mackenzie lost and Teddy and Catherine secured control over both commerce and politics, the Chapman family could very well be crushed.
