Chapter 1671
Gazing at him impassively, Hansel asked coldly, “Are you surprised?”
.” Boris was at a loss for words
It was more than surprising; Hansel''s appearance had shocked him to the core.
From what he heard, Hansel was paralyzed after the stroke. It is an incurable condition even for doctors with the most top-notch medical skills. How
has he suddenly recovered?
Looking at Hansel''s formidable figure, a sudden thought struck him. Could it be that President Windsor was pretending to be sick all the while?
A chill ran down his spine at the thought of it.
Terror filled his eyes when he looked at Hansel and then at Nathan, who looked ratherposed. His heart sank in despair.
Yet, Hansel did not bother to speak to him anymore.
Cami pushed her husband toward the head seat, the seat where the President usually sat during a Cab meeting
Hansel gestured for her to stop when they approached Nathan''s seat.
Then, he slowly got up from the wheelchair.
Cami and the national guards approached him to help him up, but he stopped them from doing so.
Nathan was seated at the far end of the conference table.
Seeing Hanseling up to him, he immediately stood bolt upright, saluting him. “President Windsor!” he greeted, his voice loud and clear.
Hansel returned his salute.
Then, he held Nathan''s hand while expressing his gratitude, “Nathan, I''d like to thank you for all that you''ve done. You''ve only taken a leave once
throughout the past five years, sacrificing much of your time for the country.”
Nathan spoke up, “President Windsor, it is my duty to serve the country and its people.
Hansel nodded before slowly making his way toward the head seat, with Cami and the head of the National Guard following behind him.
Casting his eyes over the whole lot. he uttered, “Thank you for taking up the extra burden during the period that I was sick, keeping the government
running
Clifford and the others still hadn''t recovered from their shock. Hearing that, they quickly answered, “President Windsor, don''t mention it. It was merely
our duties to do as such.”
Hansel went on. “I''m sick, but I''m not dead yet. I am well aware of the ones who are diligent, and the ones who take your job as a sinecure.” He
paused for a while before he continued, “I am also aware of the ones among you who are
I w corrupt.
Hearing that, Boris'' body trembled.
As for Clifford and a few others, their hearts skipped a beat.
They realized that the President was not only angry about the crimes Borismitted, rather he was also upset at them for aiding and abetting Boris
in getting rid of Nathan.
His words were targeted at Boris but they also served as a warning to the rest of them.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Hansel took in the anxiety on their faces. Then, he stated calmly, “It has been a while; I was absent from many of the Cab meetings. I suppose
that there are a lot of documents waiting in line for me to review. Come, bring me the documents!”
The cab members exchanged several nces.
Boris secretly exchanged a stare with Clifford, throwing him a signal to do something
Yet, Clifford had cast his eyes downward and pretended not to have noticed it.
Boris then shifted his gaze to Adrian, a Cab member who was on friendly terms with him.
Adrian had no.choice but to bite the
bullet. He picked up a document and
reported to to Hansel, “President >
Windsortthis is the report of the =
damag€s caused by the wildfire that
uned I in the West. We need you
to-approve the amount of aid and
di@aster relief.”
Hansel raised his hand. “I''ll leave this forter. Since I have not attended the Cab meetings for a long while, I should first deal with the most
important matter. Bring me the most recent document.”
The cab members fell into an eerie silence. They were all aware that Hansel was referring to the issue that urred between Boris and Nathan.
Seeing their reaction, Hansel asked
coldly, “Whatgaren''t there any
important documents waiting for my
approval? theard that there was an
serious_disagreement concerning 2
motion} and you needed to resort to
votitg. Even so, the motion I Shy
passed through the Cab by a
small majority. Aren''t yotf going to
let me have a look at the proposal?”
Boris'' forehead was littered with beads of perspiration.
Just then, Zion, the oldest among
the Great Cab members, stood
up. He was ne of Hansel''s trusted
aides. “President Windsor, just naw,
Mr. Tucker proposed to remove?

overstepping his authority=Content

“Although the other two members and I strongly disagreed with the motion, it passed through by a small majority of 7-3.
“ording to the rules, the Cab''s decision can only take effect if the President approves of it.”
With that, he made his way toward Hansel and handed him the documents that concerned the motion put forward by Boris.
