Marquis Smith Residence.
As the evening lights had just co on, many guests had already arrived.
This ti, the banquet was being held to celebrate Annie’s triumphant apprenticeship and the successful acquisition of a cooperative project with A Country.
After the incident with his eldest daughter, Marquis Smith had been yearning to wipe away the disgrace, and this ti his daughter had finally made him proud, so he had specially called this banquet to regain so face.
In a second-floor bedroom, Annie was making her final preparations before going out.
Annie had always been strong-willed, and she was secretly proud of securing this project.
She had specifically invited many celebrities and nobles to the banquet, and of course, she had prepared ticulously, determined not to let any guest outshine her.
As the servant was helping her put on her jewelry, the door was pushed open, and the old Marquis walked in from outside.
Looking at his daughter, sitting in front of the mirror, beautiful and elegant, the Marquis felt his mood, which had been gloomy for days, finally ease up.
He imdiately walked up behind her with a smile.
Annie stood up, smiled at her father, “You look very handso today!”
The old Marquis laughed, steadied her shoulders, and straightened her jewels, “Today you are the protagonist.
You did very well this ti, and Dad is very proud of you.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved gently to the servant, who understood the gesture and left the room after bowing to the two of them.
“Please, have a seat!” Annie led her father to the sofa at the side and sat down, then adjusted her skirt in the mirror, “Is there sothing you need?”
Signaling for his daughter to sit next to him, the old Marquis spoke seriously, “There’s sothing I’ve been considering for a long ti, and I’ve decided…
to nominate you to enter the election.”
“?!” Annie was startled, “, run for election?”
“Indeed!” the old Marquis lifted his chin slightly, “For years, the Smith family has dedicated itself to the nation, and I don’t want it to fall into others’ hands.”
“Do you an…” Annie’s voice lowered, “Gan Yuan?”
As a high-ranking mber of the Liberal Party, her father was, Gan Yuan’s intent to run for President was sothing Annie had certainly heard about.
“Exactly!” As soon as he ntioned that daughter, the old Marquis’s face imdiately darkened, “Hmph!
Dolly wants to nominate her as their candidate, I know exactly what they’re up to, and I absolutely refuse to stoop to their level!”
“But…”
Just the thought of Gan Yuan made Annie involuntarily swallow hard.
The mory of being maliciously humiliated by Gan Yuan at a banquet in A Country still made her shudder.
“That woman…
is terrifying!”
Noticing his daughter’s anxiety, the old Marquis extended his hand and patted the back of her hand.
“Don’t worry, at that ti she had the support of Huangfu Jue, and we had reason to be wary of her, but now…” He snorted coldly, “Huangfu Jue has broken off their engagent, and Moses is nothing more than a wealthy businessman…
They couldn’t possibly be our rivals!”
Annie pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Gan Yuan had repeatedly caused her embarrassnt and even stolen away Huangfu Jue, whom she had secretly admired.
Towards Gan Yuan, she naturally harbored considerable hatred.
If there were a chance to trample Gan Yuan underfoot, Annie would be more than willing, but…
the shadows of that night were not a pleasant mory for her.
“Moreover, I have another piece of news to tell you,” the old Marquis said with an inscrutable smile, “Tonight, there will be a special guest, soone you would never expect!”
