CHAPTER 1044: CHAPTER 1044 SUPREME FAVOR (5)

Wilson raised his face and looked at Gan Yuan, not understanding her intentions.

Gan Yuan smiled, "If you were born a few years later, we could have run for election together. It’s really a pity that I can’t compete with you!"

Her words seemed innocent on the surface, but between the lines, she was mocking Wilson—he was too old, even unqualified to compete with her!

With Wilson’s mental acuity and experience, there’s no way he couldn’t pick up on her meaning.

Gan Yuan’s words were like a sharp blade hitting Wilson’s weak spot, deeply wounding his vulnerability.

This regret was a secret Wilson had harbored for years: he rose too late, and by the time he was capable of running for President, he had lost the qualifications, and could only exert his utmost effort in a Senator’s position.

Struck by her words, Senator Wilson felt his heart convulse and opened his mouth, unable to refute, he could only raise his hand to his chest to ease his discomfort.

"You must be tired, right?" Gan Yuan’s gaze swept over his hand, "Understandable, considering your age should be retirement time, it’s really burdensome for you to work so hard for the country. When I succeed in my campaign soon, I’ll reorganize the cabinet, and then you can go back and rest well."

Senator Wilson was so furious that his temples throbbed. He suddenly stood up, forcefully pushing his chair aside to unleash his emotions.

Stopping at the door, Gan Yuan turned her face, looking at his livid complexion.

"Be careful, dear Senator, at your age there’s a risk of osteoporosis. Right now, the country is relying on your talents. If you get injured, wouldn’t I be losing a valuable assistant?"

Sarcasm and a sharp tongue—it’s not just his forte; she mastered it too.

Indeed, she could be forgiving at times, but sometimes, she demanded retaliation for any grievances.

This guy didn’t help and even dared to undermine her efforts; Gan Yuan wouldn’t casually forgive such a matter.

Previously, he was a tough bone for her to chew; now, Senator Wilson was the chicken she intended to slaughter.

"Helen, send the Senator back; I believe he’s a bit tired. No need to save him a seat at the luncheon today!"

In her casual remarks, Gan Yuan excluded the old senator from this significant discussion.

Everyone understood that if Wilson wasn’t included in this session, next time he might not even be informed to attend the parliamentary talks...

Hmph!

This is the consequence of opposing her!

Gan Yuan withdrew her gaze and smiled at everyone.

"Gentlemen, see you at lunch!"

Saying so, she turned and left with Helen, Dolly, and others.

A few senators stood by the table, feeling a lingering fear.

This woman, who looked so young and charming like a porcelain doll, when she struck, was far more mature and ruthless than they ever imagined.

Even Wilson wasn’t her match—they’d better think twice!

John exhaled lightly, relieved he had chosen the right side early on.

Turning his face to look at the pale Wilson, he unashamedly added insult to injury.

"I’m really envious of you. How wonderful it’d be if I could retire and enjoy some leisure time one day!" John shrugged slightly. "Come on, everyone, let’s go discuss how to cooperate with the Duke this time?"

"Alright!"

"Okay!"

"Let’s go talk!"

...

Then, several senators followed John out.
