American Tax Officer

Stevenson heard the sarcasm in her voice that his tenure as Governor was coming to an inglorious end, and he gritted his teeth and retorted, "Fine, fine, very good, Laurie, Oldington, I\'ll remember both of you, now get out of here!"

Under the leadership of Laurie and Oldington in the rebellion, he already knew that it was impossible to deal with the agricultural bill with the help of the state government, so there was no need to keep these people showing off their power.

Having burned all bridges, Laurie and Oldington didn\'t want to waste any more time here, and immediately stood up and left.

Seeing the two of them leave, the Secretary of State, the Treasurer, and a host of directors also silently followed them out.

In less than a moment, the large conference room was left with only the pale-faced Stevenson and Eugene.

"Those damned bastards, I won\'t let them off!"

Eugene thought to himself, You\'re hardly able to protect yourself right now, yet you talk of not letting others off?

Of course, while he thought so, he didn\'t dare to say these words directly but instead turned and said, "Without the cooperation of all departments, it\'s going to be tough to get the agricultural bill done, and besides, Lawson and David might continue to make trouble. Governor, the only option now might be to seek Mr. Joshua\'s help to see if there are any other solutions... "

As Stevenson\'s confidant, he naturally knew about Stevenson\'s relationship with the Morgan Family.

As soon as he heard that they had to ask the Morgan Family for help, Stevenson\'s face instantly flushed red,

He, the mighty Governor of Nevada State who had been deeply rooted in the state for nearly eight years, was now in such a sorry state because of a mere Chief Tax Officer and even forced to seek help from the Morgan Family.

It was like an adult getting into a fight with a child, not only failing to win but also having to go back and ask for his father\'s help, which was just too embarrassing. .net

But after much thought,

Aside from seeking the Morgan Family\'s help, there seemed to be no other option in this situation.

Eventually, Stevenson had to grit his teeth, pick up the phone, and dial a number: "I\'m Stevenson, I need to speak with Uncle Joshua urgently."

His wife was the niece of the Morgan Family\'s Cacti Sect Leader Joshua, and so, naturally, he had to respectfully call Joshua \'Uncle\'.

About two minutes later, a hoarse voice came through the phone: "This is Joshua, speak."

"Uncle Joshua, I\'m sorry to disturb you so late, but I\'m in big trouble, I really need your help..."

Stevenson went through the whole situation, then nervously paced back and forth with the phone in his hand.

After about a minute of silence, the voice on the phone said, "Stevenson, you\'ve greatly disappointed me..."

Stevenson\'s expression changed drastically, and he quickly tried to explain, "I\'m sorry Uncle Joshua, it\'s just that damn David, he\'s so treacherous, not only did he secretly collect dirt on me, but he even turned Laurie and Oldington against me..."

"Enough!"

Joshua on the phone interrupted Stevenson\'s explanation and continued, "Call a press conference, announce your resignation."

"What! Resign?"

Stevenson\'s eyes widened in shock.

Why had he called Joshua so reluctantly?

It was to have him use the family\'s powerful influence to help resolve this crisis.

But now he was being told to resign?

He felt like he was already badly injured but not yet dead, and now he was being put straight into the coffin.

"Listen carefully, the Golden Ear Bridge and the agricultural bill issue have already caused a stir in Nevada State. If another scandal about you is revealed, nobody will be able to save you. Resigning and letting things cool down, then making other plans is your best option right now, beep beep beep..."

Before he could respond this time, the phone was hung up on the other end, leaving only a series of beeping tones and a stunned Stevenson standing still.

"Governor, what did Mr. Joshua say?"

Snapped back to reality by Eugene\'s call, Stevenson spoke with a deathly pallor, "He told me to resign..."

"Resign..."

Eugene was also stunned, but on second thought, it wasn\'t too surprising that the Morgan Family had given such a response.

After all, the controversy over the agricultural bill was too significant, and it was unlikely that the Morgan Family could suppress it completely.

And even if they could suppress it, who could guarantee that David wouldn\'t instigate Lawson to blow up another big story on TV tomorrow?

If another big story came out, the situation might become even worse.

But if he resigned now, the public pressure would definitely ease gradually, and with some manipulation by the Morgan Family, perhaps the whole affair would blow over.

Though he would lose the governorship, if he could get out of this intact, he might still have a chance for a comeback in the future.

There\'s a saying, "Where there\'s life, there\'s hope."

With that thought, Eugene immediately advised, "If that\'s the case, then Governor, you should follow Mr. Joshua\'s advice and resign first. After all, your term is nearly over, and if we can resolve this situation, we still have a bright future..."
