Moreover, David now seems unstoppable; there's no chance for them to sway him with favors.
Therefore, the only option is a marriage alliance.
Selina fell silent.
Firstly, even though David had Asian ancestry, his overall appearance was not bad at all, and describing him as outstanding would not even be an exaggeration.
Secondly, David led the ard forces into the Indian Tribe and stirred up trouble in both Sparks and Reno city halls, and now he had even unseated the top boss of Nevada State.
Anyone would find any single one of these feats earth-shattering, yet David had accomplished all four.
And females naturally carry a gene that admires the strong, Selina was no exception, so deep down, she was not really averse to marrying David.
But...
Out of a woman's innate shyness, she also felt embarrassed to agree too readily.
"If you really don't want to, I can talk to your cousin Moira about this matter, see what she thinks..."
It was apparent that Selina's father cared about his daughter and did not view her as a re tool for political marriage for the sake of family interests, unlike so families.
Upon hearing this, Selina, who had appeared sowhat shy, suddenly tensed and spoke up, "No, Father, cousin Moira has not even t David. I don't want to ruin her happiness for a lifeti. If a marriage alliance is necessary... I... I am willing to make that sacrifice...
"Good, since you say so, then it's decided. But we are not in a hurry; let's wait until the results of their deification plan co out, then we'll slowly start discussing this with him!"
After all, Selina was a precious daughter of the Kennedy Family, and for her to marry a Chief Tax Officer would be sowhat mismatched in terms of status.
Therefore, Selina's father intended to wait. If David could quickly climb to the position of a Branch Office Director with the help of the deification plan, that would be more suitable.
"Yes, Father, I understand..."
While Selina and her father were discussing, the press conference of Governor Stevenson continued on the television.
After announcing his resignation, he also delivered a speech on his experiences during his eight years in office, essentially singing his own praises about his diligent service and contributions to Nevada State.
So experts could tell that this speech was nothing but a prelude to Stevenson's plotting his next moves after his resignation.
But at this mont, most people were not in the mood to listen; they were still imrsed in the shocking news of Stevenson's resignation.
Ninglin Branch Office.
"Humph, Stevenson really knows how to brag. He's been the Governor of Nevada for so many years, and I have yet to see any great contribution from him."
"Listening to his speech, he probably even thinks about running for Senator, Congressman, or so other position after resigning as Governor. How wishful."
"Director, he is indeed a bit too optimistic. How about we add more fuel to the fire and destroy him completely so he can't make a coback?"
Inside the temporary office, Buckynison Simmons and the others also saw through Stevenson's intentions and spoke viciously.
But before David could respond, there was a knock at the door, and then Bezi entered, saying, "Director David, Secretary Monroe from Director Jon's office is here to see you."
David frowned slightly. Hadn't Monroe just co by yesterday? Why was he here again today?
Not understanding the reason, he simply replied, "Alright, then let him in."
Bezi nodded and left.
A few minutes later, the door was knocked again, and Monroe walked in, saying, "Nice to see you again, Director David."
"Secretary Monroe, may I ask what brings you here today?"
"Let's cut to the chase. Director Jon sent to ask you if you or Mr. Louson still have any other dirt on Governor Stevenson?"
On hearing this, David's expression slightly altered.
From their conversation the day before, he had picked up that Director Jon did not wish to get involved in this matter.
But now, Monroe's words were so direct, there must have been so change of circumstances.
Gathering his thoughts, he calmly asked, "May I inquire, what difference does it make whether we do or we don't?"
"Well, the ssage from Director Jon is that regardless of whether more dirt exists or not, it's ti to let the matter go and refrain from delving any deeper!"
At this declaration, David's brow instantly furrowed, and the faces of Simmons, Nisen, and Baki listening in also darkened.
As the saying goes, a centipede does not fall after losing its head.
Especially when it's a Governor.
If they don't take Stevenson down now, he might rise again and cause them further troubles in the future.
It would have been a different case had soone else said it.
But this was an order from Director Jon, and they had to obey, unless they wished to no longer be part of the Nevada tax bureau system.
"Director David, I understand that this situation may upset you, but oftentis many things are beyond our control, even for Director Jon. This is also the ssage he wanted to convey to you."
Monroe's words eased David's expression slightly.
He realized Jon was not intentionally making things difficult for him; rather, higher-ups had pressured Jon, leaving him no choice but to order David to stop pursuing Stevenson's destruction.
"Please tell Director Jon that I know what to do now."
"That's good to hear. I won't disturb you any further, I'll be on my way."
