Elder Maurice looked cold when he saw Terry.
When Auguste was in power, Elder Maurice‘s opinion was greatly valued. However, ever since Terry became the leader, Elder Maurice‘s opinion was often ignored during the meeting
Even though he had offered many important proposals, Terry did not give any response.
Today, Elder Maurice offered his proposal regarding the economic construction, but Terry did not regard his proposal highly or provide him with any feedback.
As such, Elder Maurice found that he had not been treated with respect.
Elder Maurice went up to Terry with his walking stick and snorted, “It‘s clear that the woman has an ulterior motive. I‘m just helping you to get rid of the potential troublemaker. Am I wrong for doing this?”
Terry sneered , “Mr. Maurice , I wonder if it‘s you or her who has an ulterior motive against me. I hope I‘ve made myself clear.”
Elder Maurice was put on the spot before the public. He
was embarrassed. He flung his hand. “Auguste and I fought for this land. I put in painstaking effort in every area. I can‘t bear to watch the woman destroying everything. Terry, even if you want to blame me for the rest of your life or drive me out, I will still get rid of this woman!”
“Arrest her!” Elder Maurice ordered.
Adina felt speechless.
She had been in this town for less than a week. She had been to the central area less than three times. What did Hestia Border‘s life and death have anything to do with her?
Elder Maurice had made a big scene to fulfill his hidden selfish desire.
Adina frowned. She noticed the approaching bodyguards through her peripheral vision.
Before she took action, the man next to her took something out of his pocket and flung it out. Elder Maurice‘s four bodyguards immediately fell to the ground. No one knew if they were alive or dead. Elder Maurice looked even angrier.
He finally realized that Terry became the leader based on his ability instead of luck.
