Chapter 2020

The Confederacy's victory, and the large number of wounded and dead soldiers, focused many people's attention on these issues.

At the bottom, the most important thing is empathy.

And human beings are a species good at moving themselves!

When those two special elements come together, people get angry and feel... like they're hurt!
Joanna can spend millions of dollars for others, and spend tens of thousands of dollars on any luxury item for herself.

But she was unwilling to spend thousands of dollars to let a family and a sergeant who suffered for the country come out of despair!
People have reason to hate her!

What she brought to the society not only made some families see no hope, but also made the whole society feel pain!

The crowd gathered at the door, making Joanna, who was smoking at the window, trembling.

As the first lady, there will always be some privileges, and this time it is "cooperating with the investigation", which is not an arrest.

But she still felt the malice towards her from the people here.

"I... want to call my husband." She turned to look at the agents in the room.

The director is not responsible for the specific work on the front line, he has already left.

But before leaving, he had already hinted that the case would go through normal procedures and there was no need to be afraid of Joanna's identity.

The moment she was taken away from the presidential palace, she was actually destined to be abandoned by the president.

A first lady covered in stains?

Moreover, the attitude shown by Mr. Truman also makes people understand how dissatisfied he is with the woman in front of him.

The detectives had even less to worry about.

One of the female agents shook her head and refused her request, "Mr. President doesn't want to talk to you, and you have to figure out your current situation."

She said and turned on the TV in the room.

In fact, when she came here, Joanna wondered why there was a TV in the interrogation room.

When the TV was turned on, her expression changed instantly.

She was familiar with that scene.

Right in the doctor's new consulting room!

She was lying on the hospital bed like a dog, and the doctor stood behind her, manipulating some medical equipment...

"Don't put it on!", she wanted to turn off the TV, but was pressed on the chair.

Everyone was watching everything on the TV screen, the woman who shouted that they were all "wild dogs" turned herself into a dog at this time, begging for mercy at a man...

Joanna cried bitterly and begged, but there was no response in return.

She quickly shifted her focus from the tape itself to the idea of ​​how to make it private.

"You won't show these things to others, will you?"

There is still a ten thousandth hope in her heart, as long as Truman can't see it, then maybe he will get herself out!
But if... She couldn't imagine it anymore!

The female detective had a weird expression on her face, but she still told her the truth, "All major TV stations and media have already received these things."

"As for whether they will broadcast it, no one knows!"

Many people think that TV stations should not dare to broadcast, but they ignore the power of federal capitalists and capital!
On the evening news that day, two TV stations began to broadcast edited content.

Some of the stimulating scenes that can reveal the female identity and male identity, and are full of humiliation to the woman's personality, but the woman still accepts it are all edited together.

Then broadcast it in one go!
The TV station didn't name anyone whose video it was, but most people could edit it skillfully through the TV station.

And the edited dialogue they heard, knowing who these two people are!
One is the President's wife.

One is her lover!

Omg, big news!

There has never been a shortage of scandals at the top of the Federation, the scandal between the former president and Chris, the scandal of the former president trying to use presidential privileges and corruption.

Even the shocking scandal of the Duncan family!

Various scandals come out every year, but this one is definitely the most explosive!
Mr. Truman, who was still thinking about many things at night, also saw the news. He read it calmly, then became angry, and then became weak again.

The exposure of these scandals will indeed affect him to a great extent, but at the same time, it will not cause a "killing" effect on him!

In other words, these things are likely to make him very uncomfortable, but they cannot make him face losing the presidency.

This made him very strange. The manipulator behind the scenes didn't seem to be targeting him directly.

Even if the other party aimed at the wrong target, even if Joanna was covered in scandals, it would not be able to affect him in the end.

Why do these people want to lay hands on Joanna?

His thinking logic has become a little confused, and his wife's cheating and her despicable appearance are constantly gnawing at Mr. Truman's heart!

At home, she was as noble as the most expensive woman in the world, and she didn't even have the time to say a word to him.

On the outside, she is like a bitch, who is even more vile than the female cousin on the side of the road!

Unable to figure out and emotionally hurt, his thinking has been in chaos.

For a while, he thought about why these people did this, and for a while, the anger burned from his heels...

Early the next morning, some newspapers began reporting the news.

These newspapers are all owned by different media companies.

These media companies belong to different capital consortiums, and as long as the parent company agrees to their publication, they must publish it.

Some people called him in the morning, some wanted to ask what happened, and some simply expressed their pain!
Both Mr. Truman and Joanna have relatives of their own who are still alive.

It is unacceptable for everyone to have such a thing happen!
Especially his daughter!
Called early in the morning and asked what happened between him and Joanna, and whether those things were true!
Mr. Truman is serious about his work, but he still maintains a military-like style when dealing with family issues.

He didn't answer his daughter directly, but just told her not to worry about it, and everything would be fine.

But how could such a thing get better?

In college, people used to respect her and be close to her for who she was.

After all, she is the president's daughter, and she can even be called a "Her Royal Highness".

But when the scandal broke out in the middle of the night last night, she felt that everyone's eyes were full of things that disgusted her!
The emotional breakdown came quickly, she dropped the phone, and when Mr. Truman called back, there was no one answering.

He asked people to protect his daughter, and his main energy was still on the two current matters.

It's just that before he had time to deal with anything, Peleus called.

"You didn't tell me about Joanna yesterday, Truman."

His voice is not very good, there is a kind of dissatisfaction.

Mr. Truman actually knew the meaning behind Peleus' words.

When Joanna wanted to set up a charitable foundation and chose military families in need as the main target of assistance, Mr. Truman asked her to change the target group.

The military, including the federal government, takes military matters very seriously.

If some small problems are not handled properly, it is very likely that the situation will escalate and bigger troubles will erupt.

Peleus was not very optimistic about Joanna's choice at the time, but Joanna believed that she was also from the military, and Mr. Truman was also from the military.

Their relationship in the military is far more than that in society!

Joanna, unlike Mr. Truman, is a woman whose sensibility can sometimes overwhelm reason.

In her opinion, since their husband and wife have so many reliable relationships and contacts in the military, why should they choose a field that they don't know much about?
And even if something goes wrong, they can quickly suppress it with their connections here.

But the result is not very good!
In fact, if the current problems did not arise, for example, no one would expose Joanna's use of charity funds for personal consumption and gambling.

It didn't come out that she misappropriated the money to her lover, and there were millions of them.

Even if she helps fewer families, it's not a big problem.

To use the best saying of charities is "we are looking for families who need help more urgently than you". First save the dying, and then save the seriously injured, in order.

In fact, everyone is doing this. Helping ordinary people in need is never more suitable for publicity than helping some typical people.

But the bad thing is that a lot of Joanna's black material was exposed.

Without comparison, there is no harm. The image of an evil woman who takes advantage of her military background and social sympathy for disabled soldiers emerges vividly on the paper.

There are also many voices of dissatisfaction in the army. Originally, the army and Joanna still have some cooperation projects, such as carrying out some activities with veterans clubs in various places.

None of that really happened, plus these scandals and her villainy.

The military must also stand up.

If you don't stand up, the lower-level officers will have opinions.

In the face of Peleus' questioning, Mr. Truman seemed to have no other good actions other than apologizing.

Then the military press spokesman announced the complete termination of all partnerships with Joanna's foundation, and permanently put Joanna and her foundation on the unwelcome list!
Abandoned by the military, many people took a breath of anger.

And a small group of people saw the dawn!
Mr. Truman's biggest reliance is not actually his presidential privilege, but his military background!

Now there is a rift between the military and Mr. Truman, which makes many people see hope.

The military no longer favors Mr. Truman, so does it mean that the power of capitalists and money can start to play a role?

But now, the entire puzzle has basically been put together, and there is only one more push!
