Runaway Wife: Please, Have Another Baby!

Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Playboy (3)

"I didn’t expect that she would be acquainted with the Duchess."

"Yeah!" the assistant echoed softly, "We originally thought that this time she would definitely embarrass herself, but who knew the Duchess and her grandson would stand up for her, and that Abel seemed to care about her a lot too."

General Barton’s gaze fell on Abel, who was sneaking a peek at Betty’s chest, "That playboy, is there any beautiful woman he doesn’t care about?"

The assistant gave an ambiguous smile, and General Barton spoke again, "Call Sam and tell him to take the child back to the Northwest tonight."

The assistant looked puzzled, "So urgent?"

"It’s not safe here. The Northwest is our territory. Once there, even Huangfu Jue won’t be able to touch me." General Barton stared at Gan Yuan from a distance, "This woman has such strong connections, she will be my formidable enemy in the future. It seems we must get rid of her soon."

"That’s not difficult," the assistant sneered, "Just find an opportunity to eliminate her."

"Don’t forget who she is." General Barton’s eyes narrowed, "Just one child already made Huangfu Jue move such forces. If we kill his woman, he won’t let it go easily. And there’s Moses, who seems to favor her as well. Our situation isn’t stable yet. We can’t provoke so many enemies; it would be detrimental to the campaign."

General Barton had been laying low for years, brewing for this election. Over the past few years, he had been accumulating strength, recruiting troops, and amassing substantial power.

He thought this election was already in the bag, but he didn’t expect Gan Yuan to emerge halfway and quickly gain renown throughout F Country in a flash.

Astute and cautious as he was, General Barton originally wanted to use her to attack other opponents and then use Gan Tang to control her and secure a swift victory.

Inviting Gan Yuan to this banquet was partly to show goodwill towards Huangfu Jue, misleading him into thinking he had no designs against Gan Yuan to avoid arousing suspicion, and partly to use Lily to thwart Gan Yuan, dousing her soaring popularity with cold water.

Who would have thought Lily would be the one who ended up disgraced, and who drew out such a powerful supporter?

Duchess Caroline from Y Country, a strong economic power that faces F Country across the sea, though not influential within the country, wields significant influence due to her special status.

He had been trying to curry favor with her, hoping for her support, only to find that she was deeply connected with Gan Yuan.

Already having Huangfu Jue as a strong backing, with full support from Moses and the Liberal Party, and now with Duchess Caroline...

This woman was continually refreshing her influence daily, even making General Barton feel threatened.

For now, he wasn’t President yet and had not taken control of F Country, so he had to be wary of Huangfu Jue. Although he hated Gan Yuan to the bone, he dared not act rashly.

"The General’s considerations are thorough, then... what do you intend to do?"

General Barton pondered briefly, "Didn’t Sam mention Qian Xueying before? Tell him to bring that woman to the Northwest, I need to meet her!" noveldrama

"Understood, I will inform Colonel Sam immediately."

The assistant left his side to make the call, and General Barton raised the wine glass to his lips.

If Qian Xueying could help him eliminate Gan Yuan, he could rest easy. Once he took the President’s seat, he would use Gan Tang to threaten Huangfu Jue. By then, this continent would be his domain.
