Love at the Wrong Table

Chapter 2244 Gautier’s Strategy

Teddy sat in silence, his eyes narrowing as he studied Gautier, lost in thought.

Gautier met his gaze, his voice calm yet firm. “Emmanuel and Mackenzie won’t let this slide. You know that as well as I do.”

He spoke with certainty, “Emmanuel has wanted you dead for years. The only thing holding him back was your influence–your ties to powerful organizations and key political figures. Taking you out recklessly would’ve caused chaos. Now…”

He didn’t need to finish.

Even Aora understood what came next–Emmanuel was coming, and he wouldn’t hesitate this time.

Yet, Aora didn’t flinch. Instead, he smirked. “Mr. Tanner, let him come. With my current strength, Emmanuel is no threat to me.” His voice was laced with confidence.

He had fought Emmanuel before. Back then, he was stronger, but the gap wasn’t overwhelming. With the Dragon’s Reversal Essence coursing through him now, Aora knew he had surpassed him.

He mused, If Emmanuel dares to show up, he’ll die right here.

However, Teddy remained quiet.

Gautier leaned forward, speaking in a lower tone, “Master, the smart move would be to leave the Tanner estate for now. Lay low until the presidential election is over. Once Madam takes office and solidifies her power, that’s when you strike back. Emmanuel won’t stand a chance.”

-Teddy exhaled slowly, considering the words.

After a moment, he nodded. “You’re right.”

Yet, something still gnawed at him.

He added, “If I leave now, I risk losing control. Some of my allies may start siding with Mackenzie.”

He had spent years building his power and securing influence. Walking away, even for a short while, could make everything crumble.

His men had come to Zovince expecting him to lead.

Could he really afford to disappear?

Unfazed, Gautier simply smiled. “Let me handle that. I’ll keep them in line and maintain order while you’re gone. It’s only a few days–endure this, and everything will settle back in place.”

Teddy studied Gautier carefully before finally nodding. “Fine. Just don’t fail me.”

There was a weight to his words–an unspoken warning.

Gautier caught it immediately.

Oblivious to the tension, Aora remained silent.
