Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1673 Jacky's Election for Mayor

Raeleigh remained silent. She knew a lot of things. Since there was no need for her to stay, she didn't

want to ask so many questions. Even if she knew, she did not want to show him that she knew.

After watching TV for a while, Raeleigh leaned on the side and began to look forward to Jacky's

speech.

...

Deanna was seated offstage, her face exquisitely made up. She gazed at Jacky calmly.

She was looking forward to this. Even if her family didn't support him, it was enough that she did.

Deanna hadn't spent a single cent of the Atkinson family fortune for the past three years. Starting from

the year that Raeleigh had left, Deanna had cut ties with the Atkinson family because they hadn't

supported Jacky to be the mayor of Capital City. She'd even moved out and had been living in Waverly

Village.

At first, Deanna specialized in designing cars, but she made a lot of decisions in that year. One of them

was that she gave up on car designing and changed her profession to medicine. She was now an

orthopedic surgeon. This was amazing and shocking.

The Atkinson family did not understand this at all. Of all occupations, why would she get herself into

medicine? Being a car designer was a cushy job, and the Atkinson family had plenty of resources for

her. Thanks to the Harvey family's monopoly in the automobile industry, being a car designer was like a

status symbol.

What more for members of the Atkinson family, who were either car designers or jewellery designers.

How could she be a doctor, and an orthopaedic surgeon to boot?

The Atkinson family did not know what Deanna was thinking, and they firmly disagreed on this matter.

However, Deanna was insistent, saying that she was no longer living off of the Atkinson family so they

had no right to control her. She'd do whatever she wanted to.

Rhys said that if Deanna insisted on doing this, he would completely cut off her finances. Deanna

refused to give in and started working to support herself.

Deanna didn't even use Jacky's money. Her income was already more than enough for herself.

She was designing cars for many companies on a freelance basis and was even helping her juniors in

university. The money she earned was more than enough to feed herself.

Over the past three years, Deanna had learned many things and had also learned to think quietly

before acting.

At this moment, Deanna was here for Jacky, so she only needed to silently support him from below.

However, this time, she would make sure that Jacky would win the election. She didn't care who stood

in her way, whether they were her family or not. The Atkinson family was keeping her children from her

and stopping her from getting married.

She'd tried many times to persuade them, but since they refused to give in, she'd just go on like this.

When she got pregnant in the future, she would walk down the aisle with her swollen belly.

After Jacky stepped onto the stage, Deanna waved at him. Jacky smiled and looked at everyone

present, including his opponent.

He said, "Thank you, everyone, for coming here and allowing me to run for mayor. Thank you."

His voice was calm. As all eyes fell on him, he remained calm, but the profoundness in his eyes was as

clear as day.

Most of the people seated offstage were influential people. The people involved in politics were seated

in front, followed by the reporters. Jacky stood on stage with someone from the Cole family.

As for the other people, they were all former politicians.

There was nothing more to be said about Jacky's short speech.

The competitor from the Cole family took out a bunch of papers and started to elaborate on his plans.

However, in comparison with Jacky, this competitor was no match for him in terms of appearance and

carriage. People weren't even paying attention to him, almost as if they already knew that he was

merely making empty promises.

When the member of the Cole family was done, the reporters immediately started throwing questions at

Jacky.

Jacky stood there, dressed in a neat suit. With his tall stature and handsome face, he was the centre of

attention.

"Excuse me, can we find out a bit more about your background, Mr. Scott? It's rumoured that you're

linked to some powerful people, and these powerful people once stopped you from entering Capital

City and caused you to miss out on the last election. We heard that you came with glowing

recommendations, but it fell through in the end."

A pretty reporter stood up and asked this question. Jacky hesitated for a moment, looking gentle and

indifferent.

"I don't know what you're hinting at, but all I can say is that I was born and raised in Waverly Village. It's

my home."

"No matter where I am and what I'm doing, there's no way I'll leave my home behind."

"When I was a child, I like to get into fights. As I grew older, I started becoming more and more well-

known in Waverly Village and somehow ended up becoming the spearhead of the village."

"Perhaps all of you think that I come from a rough background."

"It's true, in a way." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"But it's who I am, and I accept it wholeheartedly."

"As for someone being in my way, I have to disagree with that. I'm from Waverly Village, but I'm also

part of Capital City. Waverly Village is one of the most important paths leading to Capital City, and the

only difference between me being here and there is that instead of doing things to solely profit Waverly

Village, I'll be doing things to profit both Capital City and Waverly Village."

"I'm not highly educated, so I'm not good at all those flowery words. Telling the truth is all I know."

...

"Firstly, I came to Capital City to protect Waverly Village."

"It's a small place, but it's like the Silk Road of Capital City. It may not be the most developed place at

the moment, but I'm sure that it will reach greater heights during my time. It will reach a stage where

people will be fighting to get control of it."

"What I need to do, is protect Waverly Village from harm and exploitation."

"Waverly Village is a county under Capital City, so Capital City is obligated to oversee the village."

"I'm not sure about everything else, but I don't want anyone else to be able to override me and make

any changes to Waverly Village."

"This is why I want to become a part of Capital City."

"I have also planned to establish a mutual business relationship between the village and the city."

"I can't make you any promises. To me, nothing can get in the way of Waverly Village's proper

development regardless of the amount of money that's offered. I want something that goes both ways."

"I want Waverly Village to have its own primary school, middle school, high school, and even university.

In fact, all of this is part of a choice. The children in Capital City will be able to study in Waverly Village

and receive the same level of education that Capital City is able to offer. However, I won't allow anyone

to just develop the village in any which way."
