His Majesty the Governor spoke very rudely, and the slight sarcasm in his tone made Mrs. Vivian grit her teeth, but she had no room to refute. She was the one who chose Peter in the first place, it was she who violated her father's requirements, and she was the one who even wanted to sever the relationship between father and daughter and was willing to marry Peter. Every choice she made was made by herself. Even if the Governor gave her the most correct choice, she still chose her own path to the abyss.
People can do a lot of wrong things, but it is best not to regret it, because regret means denying everything you have ever done.
Vivian knew this truth. His Excellency the Governor told her this truth when she was a child, sitting in His Majesty's arms, but she had forgotten it, and now she recalled it, so she did not regret it. But do you really not regret it? This is not an experience of just a few months or a few years. I have dedicated my best years, only to regret it. Isn't it so worth it
The Governor couldn't help but laugh when he saw the frosty look on his daughter's face. He coughed a few times while laughing. Mrs. Vivian immediately showed a shocked look. She was just about to stand up and call the doctor in, but the Governor waved his hand. He refused Mrs. Vivian's move to call the doctor, "I don't have much time. Instead of Instead of wasting the little time left talking to the doctor, let’s talk about something else.”
"Peter is a liar, but as a politician he is qualified. If he didn't send someone to get rid of you, I would look down on him." His Excellency the Governor did not seem to fully stand in Mrs. Vivian's position. He said some words of comfort to her, but instead talked about the benefits of Peter. He said pointedly: "Any politician actually needs to play three roles, a good husband, a good father, a responsible official, and a cold-blooded If he cannot play these three roles well, he must not be a good official."
"I made a mistake. I thought he would not be a qualified politician, but he is..." His Excellency the Governor coughed a few more times, "Okay, don't look at me like that, I will make him pay." The price may not be what you want to see, but it will definitely cause him more pain than killing him."
Mrs. Vivian frowned, "What are you going to do?"
The Governor smiled like a naughty child, truly beaming, "I will tell my old friends that guy actually tried to hurt my family. Peter's political career is over." . He will be kicked out of the old party, and some of his scandals will be exposed. He will be despised by everyone and completely isolated from politics. I believe this is the cruelest thing for an aspiring politician. Have you experienced it too?"
Mrs. Vivian thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly, with a somewhat happy expression. She knew what Peter valued most, so she would take away his most precious things, and then kill him when he had nothing left.
During this period, as the first person in the Kansas women's rights movement and the representative and leader of the state women's rights organization, Mrs. Vivian finally understood where Peter's passion for politics came from. The fate of countless people was in his hands. It feels really great to be able to let your own preferences determine the future of others! Although she is only a representative figure of the feminist movement, she still holds a lot of power.
Recently, she is actively contacting the feminist organizations in the imperial capital, planning to establish a "women's rights organization". This organization will accommodate all women. Even if some women are unwilling to join this organization, they will become the "protected" of the organization. people". No matter what situation they encounter, feminist organizations have the right and obligation to stand up for her, which is very scary.
They are still discussing how to formulate the protection of women's rights and interests, including a series of things such as work intensity, salary, industry, content, etc. Once these things are discussed, some subtle changes will occur throughout the empire.
Those men no longer dare to behave excessively towards women, otherwise they will have to try what is called "keeping a widower alive".
While he was talking, someone knocked on the door and announced his identity. He was the butler of His Excellency the Governor. His Excellency the Governor asked him to come in. After he came in, he stood at the door and told them that the child had been given to Dufo and he had received it personally. After saying that, he withdrew. He knew that this was the time when the Governor and Miss Vivian were talking about some private matters, and it was not convenient for him to listen in, even though neither of them would object to him listening.
"Do you trust that boy so much?" His Excellency the Governor was a little interested. "You don't even trust your brother, but you trust a guy who lied to you?"
There was a smile on Mrs. Vivian's face, "That is my child, but it is also his child. If he is willing to train Arthur to become a criminal, that is also his business, and he will at least ensure that he lives. Again The reporter said that he is with Du Lin now. Have I told you that that boy is already the mayor? " Vivian was obviously more interested than before when talking about these two people, "That guy used It took two years to go from an insignificant person to a mayor. This is simply a miracle!”
His Excellency the Governor retorted sharply: "Politics is not business. My dear daughter, you know these things far less thoroughly than Peter. Maybe all this seems like a miracle to you, but for that young man named Dulin, Said someone was dealing with him."
“Do you think there’s any difference between the new party and the old party?”
Mrs. Vivian was stunned for a moment, and then told many different places. She had stayed in Tener, Orodo, and had also been to the Imperial Capital and other places. So she felt deeply that the New Party and the Old Party were two completely different political groups. If one was sunny, the other was cloudy.
The Governor laughed again, "You don't understand, you really don't understand. Whether it's the new party or the old party, in fact, there is no difference in my opinion. They are like the palm and the back of the hand. When you need to use When you need to use the palm of your hand, the back of your hand will be facing up.”
"Everyone knows that there is a miracle of getting rich overnight in business. Maybe a tycoon can be created just because of a trivial inspiration. But politics is different. There is not enough accumulation and enough connections to put him in the market. This is not a good thing, it is a bad thing. Everyone else was walking along the gentle slope towards the top of the mountain, but someone threw him directly onto the cliff on the back of the hillside. He couldn't go up or get down. He had to suffer. !”
"What's more important is whether he knows his situation now!"
His Excellency the Governor has already spoken a lot, much more than he has ever said before, and sometimes he does not even say as much in a week as he did in such a short period of time today. In fact, he knew very well that, as he said to Vivian before, he did not have much time. If he doesn't say everything he needs to say at this time, maybe he will really regret it at the last moment. Saying something for others to understand and learn does not mean that you have lost it. This is a kind of inheritance and an alternative kind of eternal life.
They talked all the way through dinner, during which Peter called. The butler told Peter that His Excellency the Governor was resting, but there was no other call from him.
Peter actually knew very well in his heart that regardless of whether Vivian's car accident was arranged by him or not, he must be responsible for it. He was already prepared. It took him more than ten years to become a mayor. It would not be easy to get rid of him.
At such a tense moment, Dover and Keena finally got off the steam locomotive. The two of them had been sitting all day, and their backs and backs had already ached. If the two of them hadn't stood up and moved for a while, they might have sat down to the point of doubting their lives. If you have never sat on a car for more than ten hours, you will never know that sitting is actually a kind of torture and a kind of pain.
Walking on the streets of Tenel with two legs that I almost thought were not my own, the city seemed to have been like this all the time, with no big changes and no surprises. This place is more prosperous than Odis, but it is lifeless. The whole city is like a huge tomb, without the vitality of Odis.
After getting off the car, the two found a small restaurant, had a good meal and ordered some to take away for dinner. They then found a small hotel and stayed in it. There is a phone booth outside the hotel door, which is more convenient, and such a small hotel does not attract too many people.
After taking a brief rest and changing into a set of clothes, Dufo walked into the phone booth with his change in front of the surprised eyes of passers-by. He stuffed two yuan of coins in one breath before dialing Vivian's number.
Mr. Butler left a phone number for Dufo. It was from the Governor's Mansion.
The call was quickly connected, and when Mr. Butler heard Dufo's voice, a soft smile appeared on his serious face. He picked up the phone and gave it to Vivian. Vivian was a little surprised and walked to the balcony with the phone.
There was no other sound on the phone at this time, only two slight breathing sounds. After a while, Dufo asked: "What happened to you over there?"
Mrs. Vivian turned to face the outside and said softly: "Nothing happened. Everything is safe. I just thought you might want to take a look at the child, so I asked the housekeeper to send the child to you. I will send you the child after a while. We will bring him back, you only have one month.”
The midterm elections will be over in a month, and by that time, Peter should also get the end he deserves.
She also added, "It's really okay. If you don't believe me, come and take a look?!"
