Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042 Supreme Favor (3)
Just one more vote, and Gan Yuan can make this decision according to the minority-follow-majority convention.
This resolution not only concerns military affairs but also involves the power struggle between her and Senator Wilson. Over the years, Wilson has continuously manipulated Congress, and thereby manipulated this country, which is one of the major reasons why many of the previous President’s ideas could not be implemented.
If General Barton is Gan Yuan’s external threat, then he is her internal peril.
“Your Highness, the Princess!” Senator Wilson finally broke the silence, “I have two last questions.”
Gan Yuan nodded gently, “Go ahead, Senator.”
“Please tell me, does Your Highness love the Duke as he loves you?”
“Of course.”
“In that case, as you said, if the Duke loves you and helps you… and thereby helps this country, then…” Wilson placed his hands on the table, slowly rising from his chair, a stern face looking down at Gan Yuan on the opposite side, “please give me a reason to trust you!”
At the table, everyone’s faces changed drastically.
Wilson’s move was indeed audacious; he dared to openly question Gan Yuan.
Gan Yuan was slightly taken aback but then regained her composure.
“So, Senator, you don’t trust me?”
“Perhaps Your Highness’s status is real, but how do we know you truly have the country’s best interests at heart and won’t consider giving this country as a gift to your beloved Duke in the name of your great love?”
“Mr. Wilson!” Helen slammed the table and stood up, “Please mind your words, this is an insult to Her Highness the Princess. As a successor of the Gula Family, she will undoubtedly strive for this country.”
Dolly and John looked worriedly at Gan Yuan, unable to predict how she would respond.
Wilson’s question was truly tricky. This cunning old fox had successfully used the reasoning Gan Yuan provided to counter her. It seemed simple yet was incredibly piercing.
Wilson remained silent, just staring at Gan Yuan, waiting for her response.
The opposing side had already secured four votes; if he didn’t exert himself, she would truly win this time, and possibly continue to win in the future.
Wilson was not willing to yield. He had spent many years, investing countless efforts and energy to reach this point today.
Why should this young girl, not even older than his daughter, suddenly strip him of everything?!
Retracting her arms from the table, Gan Yuan slowly stood up from her chair.
“I do not want to answer this question now. No matter how much I say, what is the point? Even if I speak eloquently, you wouldn’t believe me, would you?”
Senator Wilson remained silent, which was a tacit admission.
“So, after handling this matter, I will withdraw from Congress and continue to participate in the election. I will not use my princess status to forcibly seize this country. I care for this country just as I care for my lover, children, friends… family! True love is never about forceful taking! If, by then, my people elect a leader who is more suitable for this country than I am, I will immediately return to A Country, to manage the family and educate the children, and I will absolutely refrain from interfering in any state affairs of F Country.”
Gan Yuan smiled while looking at the opposite side at the somewhat pale-faced Wilson.
