That night, the country’s electricity consumption was astonishing, and major online platforms collapsed one after the other, driving the public crazy.
Looking at various countries, which president married a civilian with no background, Rafael did.
Carrie’s background was really ordinary, her family were all ordinary workers, neither officials nor businessmen, and she herself was just a perpetual supporting actress in the entertainment industry.
Rafael, on the other hand, comes from a very strict old family. If you trace back a few generations, there is no such thing as marrying below one’s station, and the marriages have always been between equals.
When it comes to Rafael, he throws a bombshell.
For a while, there was no need for the authorities to give clues about the two people’s relationship, the people themselves found the clues.
It turned out that Rafael had met Carrie three years ago, when she was still a university student;
It turns out that Carrie, who has never spoken out of turn in the entertainment industry, has always been a person who emphasizes class equality and has publicly supported Rafael.
You see, Carrie always has a cold face in private, except for her many expressions in dramas, but in front of Rafael she always has a gentle smile, and there seem to be stars in her eyes.
You see, Rafael once said in public that he might be inclined to not get married, but now that he has met Carrie, he is getting married.
There are traces to follow.
Whether Carrie supports the concept of national elites for Rafael, or whether Rafael vigorously promotes class equality for his ordinary wife, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that these clues all point to one word sweet.
Overnight, the internet became an orgy for ordinary girls.
The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was even named the most eye-catching presidential couple in various countries. News like this also made the public feel a sense of pride, and for a time, there were countless supporters.
In Country A, 90% of the economy is controlled by the upper class and families, but there are still many ordinary people. Rafael’s public marriage at this time undoubtedly shows the public his determination, and the public is reassured.
Of course, there were also voices questioning Rafael’s use of marriage to gain votes, but these were quickly drowned out.
Domestic public opinion reversed overnight.
Rafael took advantage of the situation and, together with his wife Carrie, frequently attended major speeches, turning the tide with a good image of starting a family and career, and successfully gaining the votes of several swing cities.
That night.
The night was filled with darkness and colorful lights. A huge crowd gathered in the central square of a swing city.
A large number of security guards were dispatched to control the situation, but they could not hold back the increasing number of Rafael’s supporters who were shouting and jumping, their voices drowning out Rafael’s speech on the stage.
In a black car not far away,
Paige, who had just returned to the country, silently watched it all. This was not a speech venue, it was clearly an idol concert venue.
There were even a large number of CP fans in the crowd, with paint on their faces depicting Rafael embracing Carrie, shouting support as they waved their arms, it was downright fanatical.
The car was far away from the podium, and Paige couldn’t see much through the crowd.
She lowered her head and looked at the tablet in her hands, which was broadcasting Rafael’s speech live.
The moonlight was soft, the lights were bright, and Rafael, dressed in a sharp suit, was giving a rousing speech, clearly outlining the future of the country. Carrie stood two steps behind him on the left, wearing an elegant long dress. Her exquisite makeup made her look especially glamorous.
At the moment, she was looking deeply at Rafael’s speech, not taking her eyes off him, and from time to time she gave a gentle smile, full of admiration and sweetness for her husband, which made the CP fans in the crowd scream non-stop.
“Shut up…” A dissatisfied groan came from the man next to her.
Paige immediately turned off the sound on her tablet and glanced over. Enrico was leaning against her shoulder, asleep, with gauze still wrapped around his forehead. His handsome and beautiful face was a little pale, and even his closed eyes were deeper than usual, casting a pale shadow as his long eyelashes swept down.
He had long arms and legs, and his whole body was so limp that he was leaning against her in a strange position. Paige felt uncomfortable just watching him, and tried to straighten him up a few times, but he leaned back again in a daze.
She had to give up.
She looked at him with soft eyes and lifted her hand to brush the stray hairs on his forehead.
Enrico closed his eyes and held her hand in his, kissing it in front of him.
Paige laughed softly and said tenderly, “I want to talk to Carrie, so I’ll take you to the hotel to rest, okay?”
She was worried about Carrie and Rafael’s sudden marriage.
But he was injured, and she didn’t want him to follow her around and not get a good rest.
Hearing this, Enrico slowly opened his eyes a little. His long eyelashes were half-closed, and the grey eyes in his eyes read almost sexy and strange, “If you don’t stay with me, what if I die in the hotel?”
“…”
Paige looked at him speechlessly, “Enrico, your bleeding has stopped, and your injury is a broken bone.”
A broken bone, it can’t kill someone.
Enrico was probably really sleepy, and as he spoke, his eyes closed again. His Adam’s apple rolled, and he said in a ghostly voice, “Well, I was alone in the room, and I wanted some water, but no one poured it for me. I reached for it, fell off the bed, hit the cabinet, and the broken bone completely cracked and pierced my lung. By the time you came back, I had already died of suffocation.”
“…”
What a grand drama of death.
She had no way to refute it.
Paige glanced at Carrie on the tablet screen, thought for a moment, and reached out to turn it off. “Forget it, let’s go back to the hotel, I’ll find them tomorrow.”
“Mm,” Enrico leaned weakly against her, his thin lips curling up in a satisfied arc.
Just as she had returned, she wanted to abandon him to find this and that, quite the pretty thought.
Paige looked at the driver in front and said, “Let’s go back to the hotel.”
“Yes, young lady.”
The driver started the car, turned the steering wheel to prepare to turn around, and suddenly heard a “bang” and the car shook violently.
He saw a person fall heavily on the hood in front of the car, and a bloody face pressed against the glass.
The driver gasped in fear.
He started the car, but the speed was so slow that even a car accident couldn’t catch up.
Something had happened outside.
Paige straightened up and looked out the window. Their car was parked at the periphery of the crowd.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic. Many people suddenly took sticks out of their clothes and started beating the people around them, and screams could be heard everywhere.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic.
Their car was surrounded in the middle and couldn’t get out.
However, after a while, the sirens sounded frequently, and security guards rushed in to suppress the situation. Those people had beaten up indiscriminately and ran away when they saw the guards, scrambling through the crowd.
Paige frowned and watched.
Enrico opened his eyes at the sound of movement and leaned over her to look out the car window. Someone was rushing over with a stick and smashing their car, laughing while hitting it, showing signs of madness.
He looked on coldly, without the slightest trace of surprise on his face, as if he was used to it. “It’s always like this during every election, looking for a chance to drive the car out.”
He didn’t care at all. None of the cars in his hands had been able to be opened with a stick.
Paige was silent.
She had long heard that every election was the most chaotic time.
But she never imagined that this election would be so chaotic, that the president would dare to start a riot while he was giving a speech.
