Moreover, David now seems unstoppable; there's no chance for them to sway him with favors.
Therefore, the only option is a marriage alliance.
Selina fell silent.
Firstly, even though David had Asian ancestry, his overall appearance was not bad at all, and describing him as outstanding would not even be an exaggeration.
Secondly, David led the armed forces into the Indian Tribe and stirred up trouble in both Sparks and Reno city halls, and now he had even unseated the top boss of Nevada State.
Anyone would find any single one of these feats earth-shattering, yet David had accomplished all four.
And females naturally carry a gene that admires the strong, Selina was no exception, so deep down, she was not really averse to marrying David.
But...
Out of a woman's innate shyness, she also felt embarrassed to agree too readily.
"If you really don't want to, I can talk to your cousin Moira about this matter, see what she thinks..."
It was apparent that Selina's father cared about his daughter and did not view her as a mere tool for political marriage for the sake of family interests, unlike some families.
Upon hearing this, Selina, who had appeared somewhat shy, suddenly tensed and spoke up, "No, Father, cousin Moira has not even met David. I don't want to ruin her happiness for a lifetime. If a marriage alliance is necessary... I... I am willing to make that sacrifice...
"Good, since you say so, then it's decided. But we are not in a hurry; let's wait until the results of their deification plan come out, then we'll slowly start discussing this with him!"
After all, Selina was a precious daughter of the Kennedy Family, and for her to marry a Chief Tax Officer would be somewhat mismatched in terms of status.
Therefore, Selina's father intended to wait. If David could quickly climb to the position of a Branch Office Director with the help of the deification plan, that would be more suitable.
"Yes, Father, I understand..."
On hearing this, David's expression slightly altered.
From their conversation the day before, he had picked up that Director Jon did not wish to get involved in this matter. .net
But now, Monroe's words were so direct, there must have been some change of circumstances.
Gathering his thoughts, he calmly asked, "May I inquire, what difference does it make whether we do or we don't?"
"Well, the message from Director Jon is that regardless of whether more dirt exists or not, it's time to let the matter go and refrain from delving any deeper!"
At this declaration, David's brow instantly furrowed, and the faces of Simmons, Nisen, and Baki listening in also darkened.
As the saying goes, a centipede does not fall after losing its head.
Especially when it's a Governor.
If they don't take Stevenson down now, he might rise again and cause them further troubles in the future.
It would have been a different case had someone else said it.
But this was an order from Director Jon, and they had to obey, unless they wished to no longer be part of the Nevada tax bureau system.
"Director David, I understand that this situation may upset you, but oftentimes many things are beyond our control, even for Director Jon. This is also the message he wanted me to convey to you."
Monroe's words eased David's expression slightly.
He realized Jon was not intentionally making things difficult for him; rather, higher-ups had pressured Jon, leaving him no choice but to order David to stop pursuing Stevenson's destruction.
"Please tell Director Jon that I know what to do now."
"That's good to hear. I won't disturb you any further, I'll be on my way."
