Chapter 1200 Let Yariel Be My Secretary
Jonathan was even more cunning than him. With decades of experience in politics, he knew how to
interact with these people despite his straightforward personality.
âYouâre too courteous. I have to thank my granddaughter-in-law for treating my stroke. I could only walk
because she gave me acupuncture every day. Thank you for your concern!â
âYouâre very welcome! Youâve done our country a huge favor, so itâs only right that I visit you,â replied
Silas politely.
After some small talk, everyone sat at the dining table. This dinner, which was initially meant to include
only the Jadesons, ended up being spent with other people.
As the kids wanted to set off fireworks after dinner, everyone left the dining room and went to the
observation tower.
Boom!
It was a sight to behold when the dazzling fireworks illuminated the night sky with vibrant colors. The
shimmering ocean reflected the fireworks, looking extremely beautiful too.
âOld Mr. Jadeson, what are your plans for the new year?â
Jonathan was standing at the observation tower and watching the fireworks with a smile. Suddenly,
Silas shot him that question.
New year?
Jonathan retracted his gaze from the sky and looked at Silas calmly. âWhat are you referring to? The
Jadesonsâ financial plans orâ¦â
âOf course itâs about the Congress. Next year, I plan to merge the Senate and the House, so Iâd like to
hear your opinions. Which position should I reserve for the Jadesons?â
After spending the entire night preparing for this, Silas finally brought up the main topic.
How can the president ask something like this?
Gazing at the distant fireworks, Jonathan chuckled. âYouâre too polite, sir. The Jadesons have always
served the people. We donât choose our positionsâthe people do.â
Jonathanâs reply were very direct and blunt.
Everyoneâs expressions changed, especially Sophieâs. When she heard her husband was being
retorted, she stopped setting off the fireworks.
Then, she stared at Jonathan and Silas intently.
To everyone elseâs surprise, Silas did not show much of a reaction after hearing the older manâs words.
âWell, I donât think Yariel should continue staying in the Congress. As a military family, the Jadesonsâ
forte lies in commanding the military. However, Yariel doesnât know how to do that. Why donât I transfer
him over to my side to work as my secretary?â
âWhat? Your secretary?â
At his words, everyone inhaled a sharp breath.
It was not only Jonathan who was shocked. Even those who had come with Silas gaped at him in
surprise.
His secretary? Has the heir of the powerful Jadesons stooped so low to become someoneâs secretary?
No one dared to say anything. Instead, they shot timid glances at someone standing nearby. As that
scary man was preoccupied with setting off fireworks with his children, he did not hear the
conversation.
âWhat do you mean, sir? Do you want my grandson to be your secretary? Are you drunk?â asked
Jonathan coldly as he suppressed his fury and glared at Silas.
Silas, who just had his position secured by the Jadesons, challenged Jonathanâs limits again by
denying he was intoxicated.
He continued, âOld Mr. Jadeson, I proposed this based on what you said earlier. If your eldest
grandson, Devin, were still alive, heâd still take command of the military in Congress. Since heâs gone
now, I canât possibly entrust the military to someone who doesnât even know anything about it. If you
really donât want to give it up, you can take up the post.â
âYouâ¦â
Jonathanâs chest heaved from the anger raging within him.
For the past eighty years of his life, it was his first time seeing such an arrogant and shameless person.
This is the Jadeson residence. Despite having just secured his position, how dare he come all the way
here and threaten to strip us of our power? Isnât he afraid that Iâll kill him?
Murderous intent gleamed in Jonathanâs eyes. âSilas, donât forget who put you into power. Yet, youâre
so eager to take action now. Arenât you afraid of falling from power in the new year?â
Silasâ expression finally changed.
When everyone noticed that, they quickly tried to defuse the tense atmosphere. âCalm down, Old Mr.
Jadeson. Donât be angry! The President probably drank too much. Please donât take his words to
heart.â
Turning pale, Sophie spoke up on behalf of her husband. âYeah, Old Mr. Jadeson. Heâs really drunk! Iâll
reprimand him when we return.â
Only then did Jonathan stop speaking.
However, his eyes were blazing with hostility, making him look like a ferocious tiger. Despite his old
age, his murderous aura was enough to make one tremble in fear.
âLet me tell you this. Donât even think of messing around with the Jadesons. Regardless of how you
plan on consolidating your position in the government, I donât care. However, donât touch the Jadesonsâ
position in the military. Otherwise, Iâll kick you out of your seat, just like those people who had just been
purged.â
