Rafael’s words were like teeth.
A chaebol listened and hurriedly agreed with him, “This Enrico is ridiculous. In the past few years, he has done countless unscrupulous things for that slum woman Paige. It’s simply incomprehensible for a chaebol to engage in affirmative action.”
“What do you know? Enrico was thrown into a small house to live with his sister since he was young. Later, his sister also died, and he lived alone for many years, not caring about anything,”
Rafael said, “Don’t let his bravado fool you. Deep down, he’s afraid of loneliness. Paige has a way with him. She hits all the right notes. Of course he’ll dote on this woman. As for equality and whether or not I’m his childhood friend, he actually doesn’t care at all.”
“…”
Rafael began to talk about the past. He and Enrico had once been so close that there were not many people in the entire country of A who knew Enrico better than him.
His analysis made the people at the table full of doubt about life.
How could there be someone like Enrico in the world, with no wealth and no power? No singing and dancing every night? Paige is indispensable?
Seeing how they were all looking to speak up but were holding back, Rafael continued, “You must think I’ve switched sides too quickly, so you’re testing me, but I can tell you that I know Enrico too well.”
“Go on,” said Mr. Cruise, his expression solemn.
“Enrico can’t live without Paige. Some of you probably know that Enrico has inherited the AS schizophrenia gene. He had a mental breakdown for Paige, and for those three years, he was a lunatic who couldn’t take care of himself.”
Rafael continued to say more things.
“…”
The whole table of people were so shocked that they held their breath. Rafael really went all out, daring to speak out such secrets.
“So what kind of public opinion pressure are you trying to exert there, trying to make Enrico abandon Paige for this? It’s simply impossible.”
Rafael’s face turned even colder, “Let me put it this way, if one day Paige leaves Enrico of her own accord and dumps him back into loneliness, he will immediately find a rope and hang himself.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone was speechless and just listened to Rafael ramble on.
They were all power-hungry people, so how could they understand the way of thinking of a person like Enrico? No wonder they had made mistake after mistake before.
“Actually, Paige is not a bad person. She has been helping me hide the Gangnam Hall incident, but I know Enrico too well. He can’t stand to see his woman suffer even the slightest injustice. If this matter is exposed, he will want my life, and he will definitely take it. If he doesn’t take it now, when I’m not as important, he will still come and take it.”
Rafael said this with a self-deprecating sneer, “I’m a normal person, I can’t fight against a lunatic like him.”
No wonder he immediately said that there could be no reconciliation and that Enrico must be ruined.
Mr. Cruise listened and frowned. “President Rafael, with Enrico’s current status, it is not easy to get him into trouble. It will hurt the country and not be beneficial.”
“Then find a way to oppress him, so that he can’t get ahead. It would be best to squeeze him out of The Capital, so that he is not qualified to come trouble me.”
Rafael looked up at them as he spoke, “I am a president on your side, you can’t be incapable, can you?”
The water under the table flowed quietly, and a few goldfish swam past quietly.
“Looking at the country, who has as much power as him? It’s not that easy to oppress.”
Mr. Wilkie shook his head and sighed.
If Enrico could be overthrown so easily, would they still be waiting until now?
“It’s not that hard to oppress,” Mr. Cruise said suddenly after thinking about it.
Several people looked at him.
“President Rafael, you said that Enrico values Paige more than his life, so to strike him, we can’t just focus on land, oil prices, or currency. We also have to go after Paige,” said Mr. Cruise.
“Paige is not an easy woman to deal with. Didn’t you guys try to get someone to deal with her the other day? What happened? Did she get hurt?” Rafael looked at them with some mockery.
The faces of the several plutocrats turned a bit ugly when they were told off.
Mr. Cruise shook his head, “There is no need to capture Paige. Do you remember, Jason passed on a message before, and he mentioned something.”
The plutocrats looked at him and understood, ‘Mr. Cruise is referring to that matter?”
“There is a foolproof way to divide men and women, and that is betrayal,’ said Mr. Cruise.
“Impossible, Paige is also devoted to Enrico,” said Rafael.
At this, Mr. Wilkie also laughed, “President Rafael, you don’t know, Jason’s son Bryan said something, something that neither you nor Enrico know.”
“What?” Rafael’s face was grave.
“Do you know that before Paige was sent to the slums, she was abused,” Mr. Wilkie said word by word, “and that Bryan seems to be Paige’s first love.”
“What did you say?”
Rafael’s eyes trembled, his face changed, and then he said directly, “Paige wasn’t a virgin? So what? They slept together hundreds of times. Does it matter if she was a virgin or not?”
“Yes, the old story isn’t serious enough, but it’s repeating itself.”
Mr. Wilkie had already thought of all the tricks and looked at Rafael seriously, “I have found the person who abused Paige back then. What do you think it would be like for Enrico if he were locked up with Paige and Bryan for a day and a night, and they were given some drugs?”
Rafael’s eyebrows knitted as he listened, and disgust shone in his eyes, “You won’t be able to catch Paige.”
If Rafael had immediately agreed with them, they would have still doubted him.
But Rafael’s frown made it clear that he didn’t approve of this tactic, which convinced them completely and made even Mr. Cruise stop doubting.
“With President Rafael, you can do anything,” Mr. Wilkie laughed at him, “Paige wants to reconcile your relationship with Enrico, so you can ask her out.”
They believed it, but they still needed Rafael to give his word that he would completely go along with them…
A bunch of disgusting old foxes!
“God will punish you for doing such a thing,” Rafael said coldly as he put his glasses back on.
“As you just said, our plan will definitely knock Enrico off his high horse, and by then, he will be someone who you, President Rafael, can play with as you wish,” Mr. Wilkie tempted Rafael to join in.
Rafael stood up from the conference table and paced back and forth, as if struggling with his thoughts.
The few plutocrats and Mr. Cruise remained expressionless.
After a long time, Rafael seemed to have made a decision, and he slapped his hands on the table, “Then I will only protect myself. Are there any more benefits?”
“We can give President Rafael more freedom in the future. Unlike Enrico, who can even arrange people to go into the presidential palace, we can sign a secret agreement today,”
Mr. Wilkie said immediately.
Rafael’s expression did not change, not very tempted, “I will only sit in the president’s position for another four years at most, it’s not very meaningful.”
