Peter walked into the study, took off his coat, and lay on his back on the sofa. He closed his eyes, and the recent events in his mind were constantly tumbling, making him a little exhausted.
After Wood's death, the part of the money he turned over every month was temporarily missing. Goldo's death gave the mayor a bad feeling. I don't know since when, some things have gradually lost control. This is definitely not a good sign for a rule maker like him. What's more important is that at this time, which was somewhat confusing to him, the state tax bureau sent investigators to Turnel to investigate taxes. It was difficult to say whether there was any connection between them.
Coupled with Vivian's sudden pregnancy, the mess made him anxious.
"Madam has not attempted to leave the manor these days, has she?" The mayor closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare leisure time after his busy and stressful work. Most people would have collapsed under this kind of pressure, but Peter enjoyed it very much. He was a man who chased power, from the beginning, and still does now.
The butler helped the Lord Mayor organize his coat and hang it up while replying: "So far, Madam has not left the room and has only eaten very little."
"Is anyone here to see her?" Mrs. Vivian has many handkerchiefs, and these handkerchiefs are all noble ladies in the city. Their husbands are either employees of the empire or ambitious tycoons in Tenel City. Men's social interactions are always inseparable from the presence of courtesans, so not everyone may have enough energy when they return home. This also makes the city's largest circle of ladies a bit chaotic.
Mrs. Vivian is the number one person in the circle of ladies. She has not appeared for several days. It is inevitable that someone will want to contact her to open a website and carry out some activities. These noble ladies should not be underestimated. This is the experience Peter has accumulated over the years. They may not have much ability in doing serious things, but they are definitely good at causing damage. Mrs. Vivian's organization of such a tea party is also the result of Peter's instruction and laissez-faire. When necessary, these women are likely to bring him great benefits. Even if it is the worst, they will not inexplicably ruin his affairs.
"Sir, Mrs. Gegemar came yesterday. She refused her visit because she was not feeling well. So far, no one else has visited or attempted to visit Mrs.", the housekeeper answered Peter's question dutifully. It is not easy to be a steward, and it is even more difficult to be the steward of a great person.
Peter nodded, "Where are the police at the door? Have they left when I come back?"
"It's like this. It rained heavily today and they all got wet. I asked them to come in and rest for a while. After that, the two of them might have caught a cold. In order to prevent them from spreading the cold to the people in the manor, I asked them to I left after resting for a while.”
"well done!"
The cold is a strange disease. It is not so severe that it does not make people unable to stand or walk, nor does it cause people to lose any functions of the body, but it can kill people. Those in the church once said that colds are a punishment from God and a judgment on the soul. Every year, many people leave this world and return to the embrace of God because of colds. The most interesting thing is that poor people cannot even afford medicine when they catch colds, but most people can always recover. On the contrary, the powerful people used all kinds of precious medicines, but they always closed their eyes unwillingly without paying attention.
Some people say that because the hearts of the powerful are black, God has judged them. This rumor obviously does not have any basis and authenticity. The official has also stood up to refute the rumor, but the big shots firmly believe this.
So when it comes to colds, their attitude is to never come into contact with them.
Peter soon fell into a deep sleep. The day-to-day work made him exhausted, but he enjoyed it.
At this time, the two young police officers had taken off their police uniforms. This meeting with Mrs. Vivian really brought Dulin a great opportunity, but it could also be said that it made him face a greater crisis. Dulin firmly believes that anyone who encounters the same setbacks will develop antibodies and have the desire to overcome them. Maybe some people would just accept their fate and be willing to lower their noble heads, but he believed that Mrs. Vivian was not such a person.
She was born in the governor's family, and came into this world with a silver spoon in her mouth since she was a child. The people she came into contact with were all aristocrats, politicians, and business tycoons. To her, maybe the world itself was like this, until she fell to the ground. After taking a bite of mud with a bitter and astringent taste, she finally recognized the world.
Power, wealth, and prestige make up this decent world. If you want to live a decent life, and if you want everything to go smoothly, you can't rely on others. Others may look down upon you because of your husband or father, but in the end, they only look upon you favorably. In the eyes of these politicians, family members are just flowers that decorate their sense of social responsibility and cannot change their goals or ambitions.
The only way to change is to join them personally and become one of them.
When Mayor Peter, the current Governor, and all politicians have to look up to her, her will is their will.
"If you want to keep the child in your belly, if you want to get love that is hypocritical but seems to be sincere on the surface, Mrs. Vivian, then you should make a decision."
"You should not be a woman who relies on others to obtain the necessities of life. You should be a strong woman. Your tea parties and your social circle are enough to allow you to obtain in a very short time those things that ordinary people cannot obtain in a lifetime. thing."
"I'm not instigating you to go against your husband or your father's will. I just hope to see an outstanding woman stand up independently and make her voice heard on behalf of the majority of disadvantaged women!"
Peter fell into a deep sleep in the study, while Mrs. Vivian was looking at the charming moonlight after the rainstorm by the window, thinking about what the guy named Dulin said to her during the day. I have to admit that Dulin is a very talkative guy. He successfully aroused Mrs. Vivian's rebellious psychology and aroused her desire to change her destiny.
In the dead of night, there was a question lingering in her mind.
If she were the mayor or even the governor, would her life be the same as it is now
No!
No, just like Dulin said, even if it is false, Peter will give her the life she wants!
She clenched her fists, caressed her belly, and made what was probably the most important decision in her life!
I'll go home the day after tomorrow. I'll update normally the day after tomorrow and pay off the debt at the same time.
