The first lady could not help but wonder how unimportant they were in the president's eyes. He can replace me with another woman, but how about Avery? She's his biological daughter! How can he be so heartless?
“I don't believe this. I don't!” The initially arrogant Avery was overwhelmed with fear. “Daddy cares about me. He'll come and rescue me. He will for sure!”
“Mr. President didn't plan to save you at all.” Lupine, who had put on a mask, sneered icily, “Your life is worth nothing to him.”
She then gestured for two subordinates to drag Avery to a large meat grinder.
At the same time, another subordinate turned on the machine.
“Ah... ah...!” Avery screeched in fear.
“No!” The agitated first lady stopped them from leaving. “Take me! You can do anything to me, but don't hurt my daughter!”
“Anything?” Lupine tapped her face with a dagger. “You'd better think carefully.”
“I'm willing to do anything as long as you let go of my daughter!” the first lady bellowed as she panicked.
“Very well.” Lupine gestured.
Morgan turned off the meat grinder. At that time, Avery, who was hung upside down, had already fainted. if Morgan were to turn on the machine again, she would have fallen into the grinding chamber.
The first lady was aware of their intention. She knew her daughter would suffer a miserable death if she refused to cooperate. “What do you want from me?”
Her entire body was shivering, but she forced herself to remain calm. Go ahead and kill me, but spare my daughter!
“Look into the lens and confess the crimes you and the president had committed!” Lupine ordered.
A subordinate lifted a camera and aimed at the first lady.
“I know nothing. The president doesn't allow me to ask him anything,” the first lady replied in a steady tone, “I can't tell you anything, even if you kill my daughter and me.”
After a short pause, she continued, “But I can confess the crimes I committed to clear Francesca's name!”
“He doesn't care about you and your daughter, yet you're still trying to protect him?” Lupine pointed at the computer. “Did you not hear what he said? He knew well enough we would kill you after he said that, yet he still did it without remorse. He's clearly a very selfish man!”
“You're right.” The first lady responded with a sarcastic laugh. “All his life, he only cared about himself. To him, people around him, including my daughter and I, are merely pawns he could use to his advantage.”
“If that's the case, why are you still defending him?” Lupine could not understand why.
