Qiao Qiao's Desperate Counterattack
In the administrative hall.
Qiao Qiao was dealing with official business when the chairman of the Elder Council, Zachesis, walked in without any notice.
"Your Highness Lilith, what is the meaning of this?" Zachesis was furious.
Qiao Qiao looked up from her documents. Her amber eyes were cold and she did not say anything. Adam spoke up for her. "Sir, who gave you the right to barge into the administrative building without prior notice?"
Zachsis did not care about this at all. He ordered his men to close the door, and then approached Qiao Qiao's desk. Suppressing his anger, he said, "I heard that Her Highness Lilith personally ordered a thorough investigation of the Moyer family's corruption case. Is this true?"
"It's true."
Qiao Qiao spoke bluntly, her voice full of indifference.
When Zachesis heard this, the veins on his forehead bulged. He slammed his hands on the table and said angrily, "Don't you know that the Moyer Family is on our side?"
Sure enough, this little girl was completely unreliable when it came to handling matters. She didn't know what was important at all!
"I know," Qiao Qiao said calmly, her expression unchanged.
"You know?"
When Zachesis heard Qiao Qiao's unrestrained reply, the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely. "Since you knew, why did you still do this? You may not know how much money and material resources the Moyer Family has secretly given to us. You're burning the bridge after crossing it! "
"So what?"
Qiao Qiao met Zachesis's murderous gaze without cowardice. Her expression was stern as she said coldly, "Just because they are part of the Elders' faction, we can turn a blind eye to their corruption? Over the years, the Moyer Family has relied on the power of the House of Elders to openly auction off public positions. During this period, there have been countless cases of bribery and bribery. Keeping such a malignant tumor will not bring any benefits to the J Country! "
"But …"
"Sir!"
Qiao Qiao suddenly stood up and looked straight at Zachesis. She asked coldly, "Why does our Elder Compound exist? Wasn't the initial purpose of its establishment to better the development of J Country? Do you still remember the significance of your badge? That's the symbol of fairness and justice. Don't you feel ashamed of wearing that badge every day to practice favoritism? "
Zachesis slammed his fingers on the table so hard that his fingertips turned white.
He shot a piercing gaze at Qiao Qiao and asked, "Without the Moyer Family, the Council of Elders will have lost its right-hand man. Do you think you can still send relief supplies as you wish in the future? Establishing public schools? You cut off your escape route. I'm afraid Ravel is still laughing at himself for having such a stupid opponent! "
"Ahem …" Adam coughed and interrupted, "Sorry, Your Excellency, please listen to me."
Zachesis coldly glanced at Adam.
Adam handed a document to Zachesis and said, "Your Excellency, before you say what you want to say, please take a look at this."
Zachesis stared at the document suspiciously before finally taking it and flipping through it.
His eyes suddenly widened.
"These are …"
Adam said, "Because Your Highness eliminated the Moyer Family, the Sias Financial Group is willing to give us funds for free to help Your Highness ascend to the throne. In addition, Count Sieber is also willing to stand on our side. He's an elder of two generations and has an extraordinary reputation among the people. He can save us a lot of trouble. There are also many neutral forces who intend to support us. It can be said that eliminating the Moyer Family will only bring us great benefits."
Zachesis tightly clenched the document, speechless.
At this moment, Qiao Qiao smiled.
"Your Excellency, I've already resolved all your concerns. I wonder if there's anything else that needs to be improved?"
Zachesis's face instantly darkened to the extreme.
He coldly glanced at Qiao Qiao and Adam before leaving in a huff.
Qiaoqiao got up and looked through the window at Zachesis who was getting further and further away. She sneered, "They made it sound so nice that they wanted to help me ascend to the throne. But in the end, the Moyer family is still serving this group of people. So much money still went into their own pockets. In the end, when something happens, I have to take responsibility. These people really think I'm a fool."
Adam stood behind Qiao Qiao and smiled faintly. "So, eliminating the Moyer Family is imperative. Not only did we break the wings of the faction led by Zachesis, but we also took the opportunity to insert our own people. Killing two birds with one stone, Your Highness, you've really grown."
Qiao Qiao put down the curtains and turned her head with a smile. "People have to grow, don't they? As a country's role model, it's even more so. "
"Yes, Your Highness Lilith." Adam bowed.
Hearing this form of address, Qiao Qiao frowned again. She said unhappily, "Didn't I say that there's no need to be so distant when it's just the two of us?"
Adam was stunned for a moment before he revealed a charming smile again.
"Yes, Lilith."
—
In the Elders' secret room.
"Damn it! What does that man want? "One of the senators said angrily.
"That's right. Lilith is not under our control at all. Does she still look like a puppet? It's obvious that our Elders are working for her! That little girl is too arrogant! "
"Without the Moyer Family, our income will be greatly reduced. A lot of things can't be carried out!"
"We have to talk to Adam!"
"Forget it. He's now Lilith's dog. He'll do whatever she tells him to do!"
Everyone was arguing with each other, and it was hard to break out.
During this time, Zachesis was silent.
His face was gloomy, and his body was emitting a cold aura. "Adam Dexter Walker. That man's purpose is definitely not simple!"
—
"Masquerade ball?"
Qiao Qiao raised her head from the documents and looked at the smiling Adam in confusion. "What's that?"
"Duke Kruje likes all kinds of balls. He's holding a masquerade ball tomorrow night. He wants to invite you."
"I'm not going!" Qiao Qiao bluntly refused. She buried her head in the documents again and said stiffly, "I still have a lot of official documents to deal with. I still have various learning tasks at night. How can I have the leisure to attend a masquerade ball?"
"But the duke also invited Ravel. If you don't go, you might leave a bad impression on him."
"Then say that I'm sick or send my representative."
Adam was silent. He rested his chin on his hand and looked at Qiao Qiao who only had the top of her head popping out. He pondered for a moment.
He hit the nail on the head. "Don't tell me that Lilith is not good at dancing?"
Qiao Qiao's body stiffened.
Her head seemed to be buried even lower.
It seemed that he was right.
Adam shook his head and walked over to take the documents in Qiao Qiao's hands.
Qiao Qiao was stunned. "What are you doing?"
Adam's handsome face appeared in front of Qiao Qiao. His smile was so amiable. "Your Highness Lilith, J Country's ball culture is highly respected by all countries. As a princess, if you don't even know the basics of dancing, you won't be laughed at. To put it more seriously, Ravel's people might also use this as an excuse and your image in the hearts of the citizens will be greatly damaged. The chances of you interacting with people from all walks of life at the ball will be close to zero. It will be an unexpected obstacle for you to seize the throne. You might develop social phobia and be ostracized by everyone. You might even be …"
For a moment, Qiao Qiao felt that she was a defenseless little yellow chick and Adam was an extremely aggressive cobra …
She hurriedly stopped. "I got it! I got it! I'll go, okay? "
Adam's smile finally returned to normal.
Qiao Qiao propped up her chin and tapped her fingers on the table. She said in annoyance, "Then go and invite Madam Luo Di and Madam Crollo over. I'll say this first, I've never had any talent in dancing. If I embarrass myself at the masquerade ball, you have to take full responsibility!"
Adam smiled like a cunning fox. He volunteered. "It's too much of a waste of time to invite the two madams over. I'll teach you personally."
Qiao Qiao looked at him suspiciously. "Are you good at dancing?"
"I've attended at least a thousand balls since I was young. The picky Madam Jeriya would only choose me as her dance partner. I've also once received the title of Prince of the Ball …" The following five hundred words were omitted.
Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched. "You're really something."
Adam smiled. "As Her Highness Lilith's executive officer, how can I not do this well?"
