The room erupted into chaos.

The attention that had been focused on Teddy instantly shifted to Mackenzie as the accusation rang through the hall.

The voice belonged to a representative from Zovince–one that Mackenzie instantly recognized.

With her sharp memory, she could put a name to every delegate in the room, and this one was Enoch Ramsey–a seasoned politician with a commanding presence.

Enoch pointed at her, his voice dripping with accusation. “We all know what kind of person you are- ambitious, overconfident. If you want power, fight for it openly. Yet, resorting to deceit, terrorism, and backstabbing to force Mr. Tanner into submission? That’s disgraceful!”

It was a textbook political move–control the conversation before the other side had a chance to respond. As long as he played his part convincingly, he could turn lies into truth, fabricating reality itself–just like pointing at a deer and insisting it was a horse.

Mackenzie let out a sharp breath, finding it almost amusing how predictable it was.

Yet, before she could say anything, a surge of Teddy’s allies jumped in.

“Mr. Lestrange was a respectable man–how could you have him killed?”

“You think you can seize power by force? The people won’t stand for it!”

“If a woman like you leads the Chamber of Commerce, it will spell disaster for Chanaea’s economy!”

The hypocrisy was almost laughable.

These were the same people who had spent years benefitting from Teddy’s corruption, now twisting his crimes and throwing them at her.

Even with her usual composure, Mackenzie could feel her patience wearing thin. She thought, So that’s their game? Pin all of Teddy’s sins on me?

Just then, a firm voice cut through the uproar. “Enough of this barking!”

Jidrus had had enough. He stood up abruptly, his sharp glare scanning the room, his voice filled with righteous fury. “Stop this pathetic charade! Do you think shouting lies loudly enough will make them true? You’ve mastered nothing but manipulation–twisting facts and deceiving the public! All you’re doing is revealing how desperate you are!”
