Chapter 1737
"What do you want to eat?" Aaron quickly turned the key and ignited the engine."Whatever. Just find a random place nearby that's still open. I'm too hungry, I won't be able to wait much longer,” I said.
Aaron thought for a moment, then simply picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Madam Parker? Get some simple food ready. Arianna and I willget home in 15 minutes."
I didn't want to bother anyone at home so late at night, but the call had been made, so I didn't say anything. After all, I've turned picky toward foodafter being pampered by the servants at Reid Manor. I wasn't keen on eating outside.
When I got home, Minnie had already made noodles and prepared two dishes. As I ate, she was preparing even more."Madam Parker, this is enough. I can't eat much. It's getting late, you may go and rest," I persuaded.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Minnie answered, "It doesn't matter, Miss Reid. As I age, I need less sleep. I don't have to go to bed so early. Besides, Master Reid and Mr. Reid areboth in the study. They'll probably sleep very late today. I'll prepare some food for them so that they won't feel hungry after.”
I thought about it and said nothing more. I ate a good amount and went upstairs.
When I passed by the study, it seemed to be extraordinarily quiet. After a pause, I walked over and knocked on the door.Knock, knock...
I asked, "What are you guys talking about?"
The only thing that could cause Charles and Aaron to have such a headache was definitely something to do with Eddison and his affiliates. Naturally,I wanted to join in the discussion
Seeing me come in, Aaron got up and gave me the seat. "Uncle Charles is considering whether to cut some of Eddison's men off and punish them asa warning to the rest.”
Charles nodded with a serious look,indicating that it was true. "Eddison'sinfluence has been established inthe city fervnany years with the Csupport of the Forbes and DrakeER Thus, any slight moves canaffett the situation. We havatoconsider carefully. Otherwise, justike last time, the other party willtake advantage.” Content belongs toNovelDrama.Org
Charles had been taken away by theinvestigation team for more than amonth, and his-affiliates, who werehonest, ￠ eadofficia s, had alsosuffered alot. Eddison took this ~~opportunity to reorganize the Oointernal structure, and now the:departments that were in charge ofpoficy implementation were”basically controlled by his people.Those who really wanted to work forthe greater good were madepowerless. Charles had fought sohard for this, and that's why he wasso angry at the banquet. Contentbelongs to NovelDrama.Org
Their worries were reasonable. If they wanted to defeat the wicked, they had to be more cunning than they were, leaving them no way out.
"The problem now is that Eddison will stake everything in order to get a higher position next year. If the other side really guns for it, I'm afraid that atragedy like what happened to the Roberts family 20 years ago will happen again.” Charles said with a long sigh.
At that time, Hendrix's parents were innocent, but had become scapegoats for Eddison and several big families. In the end, they'd even died such anunnatural death. Charles naturally couldn't help being cautious.
However, just as Hendrix had said, the more misgivings we had, the more unscrupulous we had to be. It was inevitable that a war would ragebetween us. so we could only minimize the damage. Otherwise, the family's descendants would still not be able to escape the fate of being controlledby the bad guys.
"Dad, can I say something?" After hesitating for a long time, I opened my mouth
"There's nothing that family can't say." Charles had always been very casual.
"Well, then I'll tell you what I think." Isaid seriouslyafter thinking for amoment, "If{yemember correctly,the promotions to be made by theofficial election i is to be announcedto the public. In this case, can wepublicize the entire interrogationprocess of those corrupted officialson the Internet through officialchannels, and put the initiative in thehands of the general public?"Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
