Chapter 1408: Chapter 1405: Propose at the Banquet in Advance

In the study room of the Presidential Palace, Frank Chamberlain was frantically seeking help from Theodore Lucas.

"Eight fighter jets are right above us now, and there’s an aircraft carrier waiting ominously on the high seas, Duke Redington is serious this time! If Mason Scott doesn’t yield soon, parliament will definitely impeach the President. By then, if Aidan Lucas just lobbies other members of parliament to vote, my presidency would be finished!"

Although the Chamberlain family is not lacking, compared to the Lucas family, whose influence runs deep in the Parliament House, they fall significantly short.

Mr. Chamberlain preferred Roger Chamberlain, and Frank Chamberlain knew well that if he were not the President, the resources of the Chamberlain family would be even less likely to lean his way.

He must maintain his position as President, he must!

"Your Excellency, Mr. President, things have not yet reached their worst. The current situation is a crisis but also an opportunity for us. Domestic public opinion and media are currently on our side, and the public’s approval of you is the highest of any president in history."

"Just hold on a little longer, withstand the parliamentary pressure, and I am confident not only can we solve the trouble with Europe, but also deal with Aidan Lucas."

"Hold on?" Frank Chamberlain looked at Theodore Lucas with a mocking gaze, "The Prime Minister seems to be taking things too lightly."

"The power of this country is held in the hands of the Presidential Palace, the parliament, and the military. Now parliament wants me to bow down, and the military is unwilling to wage war, tell me... what can I, as a President, hold on to?"

"What use is the support of the people? Can those keyboard warriors make Duke Redington withdraw his troops, or make parliament cancel the impeachment?!"

Frank Chamberlain adored Evelyn Lucas, and because he loved everything related to her, he rarely said a harsh word to Theodore Lucas.

But this time, Frank Chamberlain couldn’t hold back his temper any longer and lashed out at Theodore Lucas.

Theodore Lucas’s expression remained unchanged as he quietly watched Frank Chamberlain rage at him.

It was Nolan Lucas, sitting to the side, who became a bit restless, wanting to speak up for Theodore Lucas but was stopped by Theodore pulling his arm.

"Nolan, sit down." Theodore Lucas held Nolan down, and a deep and unfathomable glint flashed through his black pupils, which bore some resemblance to Aidan Lucas.

"Mr. President, you are right." After calming Nolan Lucas, Theodore Lucas looked at Frank Chamberlain with those deep, inscrutable eyes, utterly unrippled.

"I indeed thought too simplistically about the matter and did not consider it from the President’s perspective. However, three days later, Charles Coldwell will hold a banquet to officially announce Hannah Coldwell’s identity."

"Mr. President, before Charles Coldwell publicly acknowledges Hannah Coldwell, why not propose to Hannah Coldwell directly at the banquet? Hannah Coldwell likes you so much, and since she’s already ’yours,’ she will definitely not refuse."

In that way, even if Charles Coldwell did not wish for Hannah Coldwell to marry Frank Chamberlain, once she publicly accepts the proposal, they can’t back out.

"Since Charles Coldwell is willing to host a banquet to introduce Hannah Coldwell’s identity, they surely value her highly. If you become Charles Coldwell’s son-in-law, and then get Hannah Coldwell to speak well of you, even if it’s only for their daughter’s sake, they wouldn’t just watch you get impeached by parliament."

Now that the military is not willing to step forward, relying on the Presidential Palace alone is not enough to withstand the pressure.

But, if Charles Coldwell favors Frank Chamberlain, and during ’normal defense’ stages, accidentally gets into a scuffle with Duke Redington’s forces, it would be all too easy to escalate the conflict.

At that time, it would not be that the Presidential Palace insisted on starting the war, but a mishap caused during defense.

This way, no one would be able to hold the Presidential Palace responsible.

Frank Chamberlain immediately understood the hidden meaning in Theodore Lucas’s words.

His expression shifted slightly.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded, "Alright, let’s do that. But with Evelyn, please explain things to her for me."

After all, he could not let go of Evelyn Lucas.

Theodore Lucas’s eyes narrowed with a smile, "Rest assured, Mr. President, Evelyn is an understanding child, and she naturally knows the importance of the bigger picture."
