Marvel's princess becomes king

Chapter 683 The Underwoods
Bella's face showed an expression of being frightened by the bricks flying from the window at the right time. She covered her mouth, frowned, her eyes were ashen, as if the past could not be recalled, Natasha secretly pinched her again Just a moment, to remind her that this expression is a bit like a girl who has lost her footing, or a girl who is alcoholic, but it doesn't look like she is being threatened by a brick.

Bella also felt a little problematic, her brows gradually relaxed, and the dead silence in her eyes was replaced by fright, which seemed to put her emotions back.

The acting is a little pompous, but that's okay, it's not Hollywood, as long as it conveys the meaning.

Big Ivan can scare her, and Thor's Hammer can make her run away in a panic, but Brick?forget it!There's no way this family is afraid of that thing.

Claire Underwood asked in a homely tone, "Who could that be? Is it the demonstrators in California?"

There is already a bit of confrontation in these words. In the final analysis, it is still the way of looking down on people from the west coast, but it is very subtle.

Samantha also heard it, and she pushed back without being soft or hard: "You can't call it a demonstrator now, everything is unknown. After all, our husband and wife have been in the California judiciary for many years, and we will always incur several reprisals. We're used to it too."

Her words showed that she had experienced big storms, and she also implied that the Underwoods had no real work experience and had spent their entire lives wandering around Washington, a place as big as a palm.

Claire Underwood immediately began to say compliments, talked about a few interesting stories among the congressmen's wives, and said many beautiful things to Bella over and over again, even Natasha who pretended to be introverted. The atmosphere of the conversation can be said is very good.

The Underwoods have never had children. The husband is serving as a member of the House of Representatives and a party whip to restrain party discipline, and the wife is running a charity project. It is said to the outside world that they are both very busy, but they don't know it internally.

The couple expressed their gratitude to Charlie's family for their hospitality, which is far from flattering, but the couple's attitude was relatively low.

Eating at home is much more comfortable than a charity dinner, at least everyone can eat.

The host and guest enjoyed the meal, and Francis Underwood was recognized by the popular presidential candidate, and Bella also gave it to his wife, Mrs. Claire Underwood, who is in charge of the public welfare project "Water Purification Project" Donated $[-].

Everyone seems to be satisfied.

"That woman seems to be scolding us in her heart." Natasha asked Bella in a low voice when they were sending the Underwoods away and clearing the tableware.

"Be confident, remove the appearance, that woman is scolding us in her heart." Bella said indifferently.

She doesn't feel much guilt for reading the minds of politicians.

Natasha suddenly realized: "It must be that old woman who took your money but didn't praise you, so you have a grudge? Want me to rip her throat?"

Bella rolled her eyes: "I'm not so narrow-minded, am I?"

Natasha didn't speak, just smiled "hehe", which means you are narrow-minded!

The two soon said goodbye to Charlie, who had their own house in Washington.

While waiting for the traffic lights on the road, Natasha said, "Charlie seems to be very concerned about Underwood's attitude."

Bella sat in the co-pilot seat and nodded: "Yes, Underwood is a heavyweight in the Democratic Party, and his support is indeed important at the current stage."

"So what should we do if we don't understand how politics works?"

"So I have to tell him to join Charlie quickly."

"What if he doesn't agree?"

Bella smiled confidently: "Trust me, he will agree."

Natasha suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously, "What happened to the guy who threw the brick?"

Bella thought about it seriously, this fact is not worth her effort to remember: "I remember it seems to be in the Potomac River?"

She pointed northward at the Potomac River that separated Washington, D.C., from Virginia, as if the man had some kind of relative in the river.

Natasha made a surprised expression, but she was not surprised at all: "Those people under your command did it? It's really rough!"

"I remember being an unrepentant junkie, not a good thing, this guy chased all the way from California to Washington, just to throw this brick? There must be follow-up means of revenge, although we are not afraid, but it popped up out of nowhere It’s also disgusting, if you solve it as soon as possible, you’ll be making a contribution to society.”

"You won't use such a rough method to deal with Congressman Underwood, will you?"

"Of course not, I'm talking about the rules of the game."

"What if he doesn't want to tell you the rules of the game?"

"Then I'll show him the nuclear bombs that I have worked so hard to collect. He has worked in the Capitol for 20 years. I bet he has never seen a nuclear bomb."

Francis Underwood has indeed never seen a nuclear bomb. He is a veteran congressman and a typical politician. He has spent most of his life in various games in Congress.

He understands all the operating rules here, and Charlie's staff hope that it is a very wise decision for Charlie to pull Francis Underwood into his camp, because the third-ranking whip in the Democratic Party also has a hand in it. Choose intent.

"Hillbilly!"

"Lucky!"

Francis Underwood does not have a billionaire daughter, let alone live in a house in an unknown town for 16 years. He has worked hard and has great ambitions, and he will not accept money that should not be collected , not much savings, has been a member of the House of Representatives for 20 years, and now he still lives in a townhouse.

This housing condition is definitely not bad in Washington, but compared with Charlie's single-family villa, this kind of townhouse that shares walls with neighbors, and is even required by the property management to use the same exterior door lock as the neighbors, is really too simple.

His wife was very calm and short-handed. She looked at the check signed by Bella repeatedly and looked very satisfied.

"It's really rich, have you seen the look in that lady's eyes? It's a kind." Claire Underwood considered her words: "It's a kind of thing that I obviously want to give you, but I want to take care of your self-esteem, So hide your eyes from what you really think."

Claire Underwood took off her high heels, sat on the sofa, and picked up a cigarette.

"What are you going to do? Confrontation or cooperation?" She lit a cigarette, crossed her legs, and asked her husband in a low voice.

"Rights are like real estate. Location is everything. The closer you are to the center of rights, the more valuable the property." Francis Underwood did not answer his wife's question directly.

He propped his hands on the table, as if he was very firm, but the flickering eyes showed that he was actually a little hesitant.
