Chapter 2097: Chapter 2097: Choked with Emotion
Could it be that her adoptive mother reached some kind of agreement with the Councilman to save her?
This thought strongly occupied her mind, and it seemed to be the only possibility. But she couldn’t understand, given Madam Aisha’s situation, what significant matter she could control that would make the Councilman willing to compromise?
However, since Madam Aisha appeared in public, security should not be a problem.
The National Theatre Square? She rushed over immediately.
...
It takes fifteen minutes to get there, and now the National Theatre Square is heavily guarded, with strict security measures. Every citizen entering must undergo cumbersome identity verification and security checks.
Such thorough scrutiny indicates that Madam Aisha’s speech is no small matter, and there must be important figures present at the scene.
What exactly is the adoptive mother going to do? Yiyi Jun frowned deeply, feeling impatient yet unable to control the anxiety within as she faced the rigorous scrutiny.
After more than half an hour of verification, she was finally allowed to enter the square.
Yiyi Jun hurried into the large square and saw from a distance Madam Aisha at the podium on stage, engulfed by the lights of numerous news reporters. Under the harsh glare, her face appeared pale and bloodless, yet her expression was more determined and composed than ever before. Her once fragile image seemed to have transformed overnight, becoming so tall and poised, with no fear at all!
Yiyi Jun was shocked; this was a side of her adoptive mother she had never seen. Madam Aisha feared attention from others and was even more terrified of speaking in public. Being watched by so many people usually made her nervous and uneasy.
But at this moment, every word she spoke was devoid of trembling or fear, and although her voice remained weak and hoarse, it held a volcanic eruption of fiery anger and unwavering determination.
She was accusing Governor Yun of various crimes and hidden dealings, the shocking content left the media present in astonishment. From bribing key officials to achieve enormous commercial gains, to manipulating his status by bribing councilmen, transforming from a businessman to a politician, and embezzling and misappropriating funds — all the accusations were appalling.
But what incited the most indignation was Madam Aisha mentioning the death of her father, implying that it was related to Governor Yun. To acquire her family’s entire wealth, he underhandedly orchestrated her father’s death, then used the enormous wealth to pave his own path to success.
Such accusations were indeed astonishing, inevitably leading to suspicions that her revelations at this moment might be an act. After all, if these charges were proven, Governor Yun would be notorious, guilty of murder and multiple serious crimes. Even if he were the queen’s favored minister, such infamy could ruin his political career.
Yet, seeing her present various written evidence, along with causes, effects, and various forms of proof, made it hard not to believe her. Moreover, hearing such an angry, bloody, and tearful accusation from such a frail woman, sounding so despairing and painful, showed no signs of acting.
Furthermore, many people knew that Governor Yun indeed started his rise by marrying this heiress, but after his success, because Madam Aisha couldn’t bear children, he married another wife and showed more love and care to the new wife while being notably cold towards Madam Aisha.
