Miss President wants to talk to you

Hattie stood up angrily. "My father has never controlled me! On the contrary, he has always respected my choices!"

"for example?"

"When I was a child, I wanted to study corn, so he specially reserved a test field for me!"

Eleanor lowered his head to write.

[His father had entrusted family land to his minor children for dangerous experiments.]

"You, you, you!"

Hattie was speechless; Eleanor's distortion of the facts had infuriated her.

Just as she was about to explode.

Eleanor suddenly changed the subject: "Alright, calm down. Let's not talk about your father yet, let's talk about your mother. How is she to you?"

Hattie is completely hooked.

All she wants now is to prove that Eleanor's so-called conclusions about abuse are complete nonsense!

"My mother is very good to me, of course!"

She said, "She was involved in every single moment of my growing up!"

"She even kept the articles I wrote when I was a child!"

Eleanor continued recording.

Her mother had been collecting and monitoring her daughter's private writings for a long time.

Upon seeing this line of text, Hattie's eyes widened in fury.

"Eleanor!"

She pounced on him.

"What nonsense are you writing?!"

"Calm down! Calm down! Let's pause!"

Eleanor finally managed to push Hattie away and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fighting is one thing, but give each other some space!

Good grief, I almost got strangled to death.

Hattie was still fuming, as if this matter wouldn't be over until Eleanor gave her an explanation.

"Okay, okay, I admit I was just talking nonsense, and this report is fake."

He showed Hattie the investigation report he had been hiding.

What's written above is actually Eleanor's daily schedule.

There is nothing confidential.

"But in this fake report, I didn't even say anything, I just put forward a conclusion."

"You couldn't wait to refute it, providing the media with so many sensational headlines."

Eleanor showed Hattie the newspaper headlines she had just written.

The Agriculture Minister admitted that his father had a long history of demanding his children participate in heavy physical labor.

The Wallace family has been exposed for strictly monitoring their children's thoughts.

Hattie Wallace: I Was Asked to Prove My Worth From a Young Age

"That's all a distortion of the truth!" Hattie was really angry.

"But you said it yourself, I'm just understanding it from another perspective."

Eleanor put the document aside. "Ultimately, you shouldn't have answered the questions they asked you to."

"The worst thing you can do at a hearing is to answer according to what the other party is asking you to do."

"You should insist on saying what you want to say and not let others lead you astray."

This method can be simply summarized as follows:

"You do your thing, I'll do mine."

Hattie finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Her performance just now was absolutely terrible.

If it really comes to a hearing, I won't even know how I died.

"But...but I can't just not argue!"

She said, "You just slandered my family. If I don't say something, wouldn't that be admitting it?"

"There are methods to rebuttal."

Eleanor said, "So, you ask me these questions and see how I answer them."

also.

Hattie recalled everything Eleanor had just said.

She hardened her expression and said, "Hopkins, we conducted a secret investigation into your family situation! Now we're informing you of the results."

Eleanor awaits the next installment.

"Your father has been abusing you!"

“I don’t have a father,” Eleanor said.

This sentence completely disrupted Hattie's rhythm.

"Ahem! Is that so? I'm sorry, Eleanor..."

"It's alright, please continue."

"...Fine then, your mother never loved you!"

“I don’t have a mother either,” Eleanor said.

"I"

Hattie was completely speechless.

"Eleanor, I didn't mean to bring up your painful memories..."

“Then apologize,” Eleanor said.

"sorry."

I forgive you.

"I……"

Hattie wanted to say something more, but then suddenly realized that something seemed off.

Wasn't it Elino who brought up the topic of parents first?

Why did I end up having to apologize?

I have a feeling...

From the very beginning, Eleanor had designed this scenario, just waiting for herself to jump in.

"Looks like you've finally figured it out."

Eleanor said, "That's what I just told you, you do your thing, I'll do mine."

"I'm unbeatable when it comes to the topic of parents, which is why I deliberately steered the conversation in that direction."

"You must learn to do the same, create your own advantageous battlefield!"

Is that right?

Hattie felt like she understood something.

But on the other hand, she felt that this topic was really sad!

Does Eleanor really feel nothing when she tells orphan jokes?

No! That can't be right!

His strength is just a protective shell!

Thinking of this, Hattie was suddenly deeply moved.

Thank you, Eleanor.

You made such a big sacrifice to train with me.

At this moment, Hattie's fighting spirit was higher than ever before.

She had to live up to Eleanor's sacrifice.

I must learn this special playing style!

……

three days later.

House of Representatives office building.

Half an hour before the hearing was scheduled to begin, the corridor outside the Agriculture Committee was already packed with people.

Journalists, photographers, state agricultural commissioners, plantation owners' association representatives, rural bankers, lobbyists from farm credit agencies...

Those who were eligible to attend the hearing took their seats in the hearing room early on.

Those who didn't qualify waited outside for the first-hand information.

Everyone knows.

Today's discussion is ostensibly about an agricultural bill.

In reality, only one person was put on trial.

Agriculture Minister, Hattie Wallace.
