The people in the hall cheered for a long time.
But on the stage, Philip's face was dark and he didn't say a word.
He stood ramrod straight on the stage, his eyes seemingly covered with a thick layer of gloom that could not be dispelled.
His expression, his eyes, every trace of emotion was magnified on the screen.
The whole world was watching him, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Did something happen?
Even though there were thousands of people in the hall, there was not a single sound to be heard. That was when Philip finally spoke with difficulty in a low voice.
"My dear compatriots, friends, and comrades! Thank you for supporting me and having so much hope for me. But today … today … "
Philip was choked with sobs and couldn't say a word.
He was an iron-blooded general, he didn't know what it meant to cry.
But at this moment, his eyes were wet.
Because he had to give up on the election, give up on bringing hope to the people of the country.
He would let down all the people who supported him and the soldiers who had been with him through thick and thin.
He didn't care about the position of the president, but giving it up was equivalent to giving up on his beliefs and the hope of millions of people.
So making this decision was more painful than killing him.
But before he became their hope, he was Baccarat's husband.
And the only person who could save Baccarat was him.
So he had to make this choice …
As if sensing that Philip was about to announce a very heavy news, everyone became silent and uneasy.
They all looked at him with uneasy eyes, hoping that he wouldn't scare them.
Only Aliya, who was behind the stage, was happy, excited, and proud.
As long as Philip announced his abstention, the country would be hers.
Everything would be hers in the future. She would have the world!
As if sensing that she couldn't hide her pride, Philip turned to look at her and saw the crazy light in her eyes.
"Baccarat …" Aliya didn't avoid his eyes. Instead, she uttered the name silently.
Philip's face darkened, while Aliya smiled even more proudly.
That proud look really made people want to destroy her!
Philip clenched his fists, suppressed the burning anger in his heart, and faced the audience once again.
"But today, I have to solemnly announce a piece of news to all of you." Philip spoke in a pained voice. He had completely thrown caution to the wind. "And that is …"
Suddenly, the phone in Philip's chest pocket vibrated.
His phone was inside his suit, right next to his heart.
When the phone vibrated, Phillip's heart inexplicably started beating violently.
His face froze, and he pulled out his phone with a trace of eagerness.
Seeing the caller ID, Philip didn't care about the occasion and picked up the call. "Hello!"
There was a commotion below the stage …
How could Philip answer the phone in the middle of a speech?
What the hell happened?
Philip had forgotten that he was in front of the world. All his thoughts were on the telephone.
The call was from Xia Xinghe. Her voice came from the other end of the line. It was cold, calm, and unhurried, but it gave off an incomparable strength and calmness.
She said indifferently, "Philip, you don't have to give up, because everything will be yours. Congratulations, we have rescued Baccarat. "
"What did you say?" Philip was stunned. In an instant, he felt as if his life had been revived.
