Chapter 1962 A Divided Family Ewald nodded in deep thought, his expression serious.
"Outrageous!" Cezar suddenly stepped forward, angrily reprimanding Denis. "How dare you speak such treacherous words? Mr. Tanner is the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and has tirelessly maintained order in Chanaea's business world. He's devoted his life to our country-how could you talk about him like that?" "Are you out of your mind, Cezar?" Denis shot back. "You've been brainwashed by their propaganda! Teddy Tanner is nothing but a hypocrite, and he's done countless terrible things behind the scenes.
"Two years ago, the Horvath family in Eldoria was wiped out after a conflict with Teddy's forces! And that's not all-the major families in the West End, the Silverbane family in Nuthana, and even the Quillen family suffered because they stood in his way. Teddy Tanner's real goal is to take full control of Changea's business sector!" His words left many of the younger members of the Toma family shaken. Though they had heard rumors, they hadn't known the full extent of Teddy's actions, let alone seen hard evidence.
"Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense!" Cezar quickly turned to Ewald, hoping to regain control. "Father, Mr. Tanner has always supported the families that stand with him. Look at the Quill family-they've prospered under his guidance. If we align ourselves with Mr. Tanner, we too will thrive!" Ewald hesitated, torn between the two sides.
Emmanuel, however, wasn't interested in their internal squabble. Rising to his feet, he spoke directly to Ewald, "Old Mr. Toma, I chere for a reason. My sister went missing in Eldoria, and Mr. Fletcher mentioned that your family has extensive connections here. I need your help to find her." Before Ewald could respond, Cezar immediately cut in, "Apologies, but we can't help you." Cezar knew Emmanuel was in direct opposition to Teddy Tanner, and he 500 hapter 1962 A Divided Family feared that helping him would bring disaster upon the Toma family.

Emmanuel's eyes coldly narrowed as he turned to Ewald. "Does this man's word represent your family's stance?" "Of course it does!" Cezar said proudly. "I'm the head of the Toma family, and my word is-" "No, he does not represent our family," Ewald finally interrupted, his voice firm Relief swept through Denis and several others. If Ewald hadn't spoken up, there would be no turning back from Cezar's rash decision.
"Father, you can't be serious-" "Shut your mouth!" Ewald snapped, delivering a swift slap to Cezar's face. The loud smack echoed through the room, leaving Cezar in stunned silence.

"Mr. Lowe, I apologize for this disgraceful scene," Ewald said, turning to Emmanuel. "You saved my life, and as long as I'm still breathing, the Toma family will stand with you. Your cause is now our cause." Ewald had made up his mind. He knew that if they didn't align with Emmanuel now, they might never have another chance to join forces with the Quillen family. He'd spent decades navigating the world of business, and he understood that the wrong choice could lead to ruin while the right one could lead to unimaginable success.

"Thank you, Old Mr. Toma,” did Emmanuel said without hesitation. "I trust youll find my sister quickly." With a glance, Emmanuel signaled to Jake, who immediately moved to discuss search plans with Denis. It was clear that twas of the essence. "Father, this will lead to endless trouble-" Cezar began again, only to be silenced by another hard slap from Ewald.
"You ungrateful fool! Do you think I'm unaware of what you were doing while was unconscious? You wanteddead so you could take over the family and grovel to Tanner for your own wealth and power!" Ewald was furious, his voice shaking with anger as he berated his son.
