Miss President wants to talk to you

I am a devout believer and would never lie.

But now, Eliza says that Mary is indeed devout.

But not in devotion to Jesus, but in devotion to Mammon.

The Gospel of Matthew says, “You cannot serve both God and money.”

Mammon is the opposite of God, representing the demon of greed and the worship of money.

In the Federation, a religious society, no one wants to have anything to do with it.

Eliza used their own methods against them.

This not only completely shattered the image of a believer that Mary had created with her superb acting skills.

It also added a layer of "victim" aura to Eleanor!

Truman achieved his goal.

"The defendant has finished questioning."

She did not ask any further questions, bowed to the judge, and returned to the defendant's seat.

At this point, the entire courtroom's atmosphere had completely shifted.

The jury whispered among themselves, glancing frequently at the first plaintiff with suspicion in their eyes.

Next, the next witness will come up on stage.

She caused a huge uproar the moment she stepped onto the witness stand.

Because she is a Black woman.

In the current federal government, racial segregation is even explicitly written into law.

No one in the audience would believe that Eleanor, a fine young man, would be attracted to a Black woman.

Some viewers with stubborn views even felt this way.

It seems that Eleanor has never actually seen these women before.

We communicated only through letters.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't admit that a Black baby was his illegitimate child.

At this moment, Bell was numb.

He asked mechanically, only to receive the same stories of experience.

With each additional witness stepping onto the stage, Eleanor's image grew even more impressive.

One such example.

Both are like this.

The same was true for the dozen or so witnesses who came on stage afterward.

Bell didn't want to ask anymore, but he had no choice, because it was a request he had made earlier.

I don't know how long it took before this torment finally ended.

Exhausted, Bell looked up and suddenly realized that the Southern congressmen who had been in the gallery had secretly left the courtroom at some point.

Damn!

He cursed inwardly, "You saw things were going badly and chose to run away."

Are you leaving me alone to deal with this mess?

Now, all the witnesses have been questioned.

There were more than thirty women, excluding the first three.

The remaining people all gave the same explanation.

They did not have a relationship with Eleanor, nor were they abandoned by him.

They only used his name so that the child could survive.

Throughout the courtroom.

The person who still maintains that he had a personal relationship with Eleanor.

Only the original three witnesses remained.

All eyes were on them, and an overwhelming pressure relentlessly pressed down on them.

"Your Honor."

At that moment, Truman suddenly stood up.

"Attorney Bell just raised a very important question."

He said that even though most of the charges had other reasons.

"It also does not prove that there are no women here who have actually been harmed by Mr. Hopkins."

Truman turned around.

His gaze fell on Mary Allen.

"Although it turned out that none of the women he described were among the later ones."

"But this issue is also worth exploring in depth."

"This concerns Mr. Hopkins' reputation!"

She said.

"Therefore, the defendant applied to summon Ms. Mary Allen again."

Upon hearing this, Mary panicked completely.

She was the first to make the accusation, and she stood with those thirty women, so she had to face all the pressure.

In addition, his backers had already secretly slipped away.

She couldn't possibly withstand it anymore.

Hearing the judge summon her again, Mary's legs went weak, and she stumbled and staggered as she finally made it to the witness stand.

"Ms. Allen."

Truman stood before her, his entire aura completely different.

She did not ask the other person if they had any secrets they were hiding.

Instead, they produced an application form.

"Ms. Allen, you should recognize this application form, right?"

Mary looked down and saw that it was the form she had submitted when she applied for relief.

"To recognize, to know".

She said, "But that doesn't mean anything; many people in the federal government have applied for relief..."

It's more than just a lot.

During the Great Depression, individual efforts were insignificant, and almost everyone sought help from the government to some extent.

With the White House's influence, it wouldn't be difficult for Eleanor to find such an application form.

That's strange.

Truman suddenly said, "Your initial application was rejected, but you later received relief. Why is that?"

why?

Mary was taken aback; she was genuinely stumped by the question.

In fact, it is indeed difficult for an ordinary citizen like her to explain such things.

The reason they couldn't receive relief before was because the previous government didn't take relief work seriously.

After Rosef took office, the situation gradually improved.

In the past month, the application process for relief funds has become less stringent than before.

Just like those women, they all wrote letters to Eleanor a month ago.

Not a single one in the past month.

Mary was able to receive relief thanks to the Roseve government's change in attitude towards relief efforts.

These things are difficult for ordinary people to explain.

All they could feel was that applying for welfare had become easier, nothing more.

"Can't you explain this?"

Truman frowned. "There must be some reason. Why was your application for relief unsuccessful before, but suddenly it was approved later?"

"Did someone help you, but you're unwilling to admit it?"

I... I...

Mary was truly speechless at this point.

At this moment, a commotion broke out in the gallery, and someone shouted.

"What else could it be? It must be that she's saying she has Hopkins' illegitimate child!"

"Didn't all those women just do it this way?"

"That's outrageous! They're not satisfied with just the welfare money; they want more!"

The wind direction has indeed changed.

When Mary went on stage, the audience overwhelmingly criticized Eleanor.

Now that Mary is on stage, they all start criticizing her.

"I didn't! I didn't!"

Mary pulled out her trump card again, covering her face and weeping, "I am a devout believer, I would never lie!"
