The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie
Chapter 71

Chapter 71 

Especially Michael, the Senate speaker, who did not take office through regular procedures. Instead, he was transferred from the position of chief deputy sheriff of the sheriff’s office halfway, resembling a sort of banishment” from his original position. This further diminished his prestige as the Senate speaker. 

Just the fact that none of the chiefs from the lower aflices came to report their work to Michael during all these days he had started working at the Senate speaks volumes. 

Even David, who was temporarily assigned to be Michael’s secretary, felt that his future was even more unpromising than 

ever. 

However, today was different. Incoming phone calls were ringing one after another! 

The situation became even more extraordinary when it was time for lunch at noon. Not only were there constant phone calls ringing but several cars belonging to the person in charge of the offices in the county were driven into the parking lot. in front of the Senate office building. 

All of them came to see Michael. David was so busy that he almost couldn’t afford to make coffee for the guests. This instantly stirred up ripples in the initially stagnant atmosphere of the Senate building. 

Those who were unaware might speculate that Michael was unsatisfied to be only a figurehead spending his day in the office drinking a cup of coffee while reading newspapers. Therefore, he deliberately brought people here to support him and to create an illusion of influence. 

And those who actually noticed that something was wrong started murmuring beneath their hearts in confusion. They didn’t understand why this person would go this far as he had already been appointed as the speaker of the Senate. 

Did inviting someone to sit in his office allow him to return to the sheriff’s office as the sheriff? 

Therefore, only those who were truly astute, well–informed, and skilled at analyzing could perceive the other side of the 

situation. 

Yves, the new sheriff of Navarre, was the first ingenious man to see through the situation. 

As soon as his cousin called him and told him that he saw Michael’s daughter entering Room 718 at the Navarre Hotel, he had already decided to abandon his plan to deal with Michael and instead opted for a strategy to win him over. 

Back then, he was not sure whether Michael truly had a backer. 

Guided by the wisdom of the political world, he just instinctively slowed down his pace a little and chose to step back to observe the situation. 

However, that morning, news from Nuthana confirmed what he was unsure about Michael that he actually had some connections in Nuthana. 

Moreover, this was not any other normal connection. It involved Damian’s son, Jacob. 

Although Jacob was simply a rich man who didn’t have any official position in the government, Yves knew better than anyone how powerful the scion can be as he also originated from bureaucracy. 

Not to mention that Jacob was Damian’s only son. With that being said, even if Jacob were just the son of any county council speaker in Nuthana, he would still need to think twice before getting involved with Michael. 

From others‘ perspectives, the reason he came to Navarre was for his profit. However, Yves himself knew clearly that the Longley family has declined in power and was not as influential as before. 

If he wanted to achieve 

ething different and continue to make progress, his political achievements were indispensable. 

But where can he obtam these achievements? 

If he couldn’t even control the power of the county Economic Office, what was the point of mentioning his ambition for a greater cause? 

Therefore, conflict was essential. But if he could win over a powerful right–hand man, he could obtain twice the result with half the effort. 

And Michael was his chance now! 

Yves began to rejoice as he had already established a good relationship with Michael before he was transferred to the Senate. 

Besides, he also agreed that Michael was capable of doing great things. 

Even today, after knowing who Michael’s backer in Nuthana was, Yves had completely analyzed that Michael’s sudden transfer to the Senate might have been orchestrated by Jacob Miller, creating a smokescreen to confuse people. 

The purpose was to pull Michael out of the conflict between him and Speaker Waltz so that they wouldn’t fight with each other and prevent harm to Michael. 

It had to be said that Yves has a keen political vision and was extremely intelligent in the political scene. Was this not the

reason for Michael’s transfer? 

Nevertheless, the only thing he guessed wrong was that Michael’s transfer was not orchestrated by Jacob, but rather by Aurelia, a little girl who had nothing to do with the political scene. 

In any case, on this extremely ordinary morning, many people’s destinies had begun to change because of one car. 

Aurelia was totally in the dark about this. Instead, she had just embarked on her journey to visit Nuthana. 

Some of Michael’s old supervisors had completely retired while some were still in their positions, but those were not very important positions. 

If it weren’t for this. Michael would have gotten more assistance from the higher–ups and wouldn’t have had to stay in the county, unable to make any progress. 

But even so, he never forgot to network and maintain a good relationship with others every year. 

This left a somewhat good impression in the eyes of some old supervisors. 

However, having a good impression alone is simply not enough if he expects someone to stand up and speak for him. 

Moreover, even if someone was willing to speak up for him, they had already retired. Whether the current supervisors were willing to extend their courtesy was still in question. 

It was normal for a man to lose all respect when he was gone. 

Aurelia also understood these things. She even knew better than Michael how powerless his father’s old connection was in the face of current power. 

After Michael was arrested in his previous life, she had come to beg these people, but what she got in return were indifference and rejection. 

Judging from her temper, she didn’t want to see these people again in this life, but the situation was different now, wasn’t it? She had a rebirth, and by this time in her previous life, Michael had already been arrested. This time, Michael was still fine. Her life had also changed dramatically, and she was walking on another clear and bright path. Since Michael thought it necessary to maintain these old relationships, then just maintain them! 

Aurelia pondered a lot while sitting in the car, and Andrew also drove steadily. She didn’t feel any bumps or shaking at all. 

It was not until the car had stopped at that residential area designated for retired Nuthana veterans to live in that Aurelia finally broke out of her senses. 

“Andrew, are we here?” 

“Yes, Ms. Swanson. This is Longville Garden, Unit 7,” Andrew replied seriously. 

“Um. Okay!” 

Aurelia wanted to ask why there weren’t any security guards stopping them for entrance registration. 

After all, she remembered that she had been here several times in her previous life and was stopped outside by the guards at the door. She was only allowed to enter after checking her ID and registering. However, this time she directly arrived in front of the house! 

Before she could ask, she raised her eyes and saw the Nuthana county council special pass stuck on the front windshield of the car. 

With this pass, she would be instantly granted unrestricted access through any office in Nuthana. Aurelia shut her mouth in time the moment she realized this. 

Aurelia thought that this must be the reason why Jacob insisted that she take this car to network! 

This was because he had long expected that if she took another car, it would not be so easy to enter these retired supervisors” 

offices. 

Although he was younger than lier, he was even more meticulous than Aurelia. Therefore it was hard even for Aurelia to not appreciate his efforts. 

She got out of the car, glanced at Andrew, and then looked at Unit 7 in front of her. She also glanced around at some family members of the old supervisors, who were slightly shocked when they found this car. 

Under the scorching gaze of these people, Aurelia strode towards the entrance of Unit 7. 

Not to mention if Aurelia’s visit had helped deepen those old supervisors‘ impression of his father Michael, there was one thing that Aurelia had a profound realization. 

That was to say, those supervisors who used to carry themselves with a certain air of importance displayed a warm and welcoming attitude towards her the moment they found out that she arrived in Jacob’s car. 

Aurelia almost thought that she was not the child of an ordinary official from a lower–level county, but a close descendant of

their families. 

One by one, all of them directly claimed themselves as her father’s friends. When she was about to leave, they even exaggeratedly sent her out of the door as if they were afraid that others did not see her visiting their house.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Aurelia couldn’t help but sigh because of humans‘ snobbish nature. 

However, Aurelia didn’t let all this get to her head and become overly confident. She knew that the treatment that she was receiving was not for her. 

Instead, it was that powerful big shot behind her, Jacob, that they were worshipping. Or more precisely, it was Jacob’s father Damian who they were worshipping. 

Aurelia thought it would take at least six or seven o’clock in the evening to finish visiting all of the places. But to her surprise, she had already completed every visit before three o’clock in the afternoon. 

Everything in the trunk had been sent out, but in the end, the trunk was still full. 

It turned out that while Andrew sent all the things to others, they also returned the favor and gave her lots of gifts to establish a good relationship with her. 

The result was that she brought a lot of local specialties with her, but she received famous cigarettes and wine in return, which were far more valuable than the things she gave them. 

Aurelia looked at those things in the back of the car speechlessly and didn’t know what to do with them. 

The fact that she could bring back a bunch of things from what was clearly a networking event was probably unique to her alone in the whole of Nuthana. 

Initially, Aurelia thought that she wouldn’t have much spare time left for herself. She hesitated and wondered whether to call Jacob for dinner or not. 

She thought to move the meeting with Charles that was originally scheduled for tomorrow to today.
