Chapter 826:

Savannah sprang to her feet at the sight.

“Dottie, don’t forget, my father is your uncle. How could you hit an elder like that?”noveldrama

Dottie stood firm on the stage, her voice icy as she warned, “Call off your men, or I won’t think twice about letting him die.” Her commanding aura sent a shiver through the room.

Savannah lifted her hand abruptly.

“You think this is the extent of our plan? There are bombs planted under this venue. One press of this button, and everything goes up in flames. If we’re going down, we’ll take everyone with us.”

This was a desperate move—a trump card Savannah had hoped she wouldn’t need to play.

“Your whole family has gone mad!” the representatives were utterly appalled.

Nothing like this had ever happened in a national election before.

Despite his bloody mouth and missing teeth, Owen snarled through the pain, “I have to secure the throne, or we all die here! Dottie, if you truly care about the people, hand over the throne. I’ll make you the second-in-command.”

“You’re insane,” Dottie shot back.

“Then call me insane, whatever!” Owen chuckled darkly.

“You’ve got five seconds to choose, or we all die!”

After years of serving under his brother, the desire to claim the throne had become deeply ingrained in him.

He recognized the extremity of his actions but believed he was left with no other option.

“Five…

Four…”

Owen’s distorted voice echoed eerily through the hall like a sinister chant.

The representatives’ faces turned grim; death was unthinkable, but so was surrendering their nation to a man like him.

The business tycoons present were seething with rage.

They had backed Owen, but dying for him was never part of their plan.

When Owen’s countdown hit one, Dottie opened her mouth to speak, but a glance from Madisyn made her pause.

Savannah, seeing Dottie’s silence, clenched her jaw and slammed her thumb on the switch!

Thud

The sound echoed as someone hit the floor in sheer terror.
