Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Love at the Vhong Table

Chapter 2240 Refusing to Back Down

Teddy suddenly started laughing

His voice rang through the hall, sharp and unseuling

Mackenzie and the others watched in silence, exchanging, wary glances. Has he finally lost it? Or is this another one of his games?

Some older representatives, who had worked with Teddy for years, barely recognized the man standing before them. The smooth, calculating businessman they had known was gone.

To them, maybe his real self was finally showing now that he’d lost control.

“Teddy, are you done?” Mackenzie’s voice was cold, cutting, through his laughter. “You’re neglecting your responsibilities. If you keep this up, I’ll have no choice but to remove you as a representative.

However, Teddy only laughed harder.

His loyal followers joined in, their laughter echoing through the hall like a poorly rehearsed act.

Jidrus leaned close to Mackenzie and whispered, “Ms. Quillen, this isn’t just arrogance. They’re up to something”

Mackenzie’s eyes narrowed. He’s right.

Still, this was the Chamber of Commerce, and security was airtight. Emmanuel had ensured that Anna and Solana were by her side, and heavily armed Wolf Warrior Units stood guard outside.

Teddy would have to be an absolute fool to try anything reckless.

Finally, Teddy stopped laughing, his sharp gaze landing on Mackenzie.

“You really think this title is yours forever?” he sneered.

Mackenzie smirked. “The election was yesterday. The results are official. It was broadcast nationwide and was endorsed at the highest level. Do you really think you can just declare them invalid?”

Teddy crossed his arms, his expression unreadable. “The election was rigged. I have reasons to believe bribes were involved. The results are unfair.”

He spoke with the confidence of a man who had rehearsed this line a thousand times. “Until a full investigation is conducted, I remain the rightful Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.”

The room fell silent.
