Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 449

Chapter 449: 166, Lin Mo’s plan begins to take effect, the butterfly effect!_1

Ron DeSantis had yet to react when his secretary, with a tense expression, added, “Your mock poll rating on the official website has dropped by 2 percentage points.”

Although mock poll ratings have no legal effect, they do reflect public opinion to a certain extent.

If the rating continues to decrease, the actual votes tomorrow are likely to follow suit.

He might be firmly in the lead for the Liberal Party, but any unexpected turn of events at this crucial moment could potentially create an opportunity for his opponents.

Especially for Nikki Haley.

Although this woman had ostensibly given up the competition and had just told him that she would get her voters to support him, it was all likely nothing but sweet talk.

But if she saw an opportunity, she would certainly do everything in her power to smear him.

It’s possible that the final ballots could differ!

Moreover, if someone chose this time to take action against other candidates, in his view it had to be Nikki Haley.

Only she had the motive, and the Morgan Consortium behind her had the capacity!

“F**k!”

Ron DeSantis couldn’t help but swear, angrily saying, “Has the Morgan Consortium gone mad? How could they do such a thing?”

“Do they want to go to war with us?!”

He was extremely angry, wishing he could find that damn woman right away and send her to meet God.

However, Ron DeSantis also realized this was not the time for such concerns. After thinking for a moment, he instructed his secretary, “Go to the company at once, summon our media, I want to hold a press conference!”

Having given the order to his secretary, he hurriedly picked up the phone and redialed the number he had called earlier.

Beep… beep beep…

The call connected quickly.

Ron DeSantis took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said respectfully, “Boss, we have a new problem.”

“The Morgan family might declare war on us tonight!”

…..

On the other end,

Nikki Haley, oblivious to everything, returned to her villa in Queens District.

She stepped out of the car and glanced at the unlit house, momentarily startled.

Nikki Haley had a perfect family, a husband who loved her, an obedient child, and a pair of healthy parents.

They lived a happy life together.

Whenever Nikki Haley finished with work and returned home, her husband would always wait at the door with their son to greet her and offer her a rose.

This routine had never changed!

Especially since tonight was the evening Nikki Haley had just participated in the most crucial speech and debate competition; there was no reason for the family not to be at home.

Yet now, the house was dark!

This was not normal,

Abnormally so!

“Perhaps they’ve prepared some kind of surprise?”

“When I open the door, will they cheer for me in the dark, offering me their blessings?”

“Hmm… sounds like something my husband would do.”

Nikki Haley imagined the scene she would encounter in her mind, and with that, the tiredness from the day’s work seemed to lift.

For her, family was more important than status.

Of course,

Reaching a higher position could provide better security for her family.

Nikki Haley reached the front door, her hand on the cold doorknob, ready to open the door to a warm family surprise, when suddenly her phone rang.

Her cell phone had many different ringtones, which allowed her to guess who it might be just by the sound.

The ringtone that was playing signified her financial backers, also a historically significant and legendary family in America, the Morgan family.

Nikki Haley took out her phone, her fingers gracefully swiping across the screen to answer: “Mr. Freeman, good evening, how may I assist you?”

Freeman’s cheerful voice came through: “Miss Haley, I just can’t wait to tell you some good news.”

“Just two minutes ago, Kate Laurie was involved in a car accident on her way home and has been confirmed dead.”

What?!

Kate Laurie is dead?

Who did this?

The first thought in Nikki Haley’s mind was Ron DeSantis, because Kate Laurie had promised to drop out of the race tomorrow and give all her votes to her.

Her own votes combined with Kate Laurie’s could possibly surpass Ron DeSantis.

But…

If Ron DeSantis really did this, he would be disliked by many, which would likely hurt his chances of gathering support, wouldn’t it?

This didn’t make sense.

Nikki Haley asked in a heavy tone, “Mr. Freeman, is this an accident? Or…”

“Sorry, I don’t know either!” Freeman’s casual tone rang out again: “Whether it was an accident or not, the death of that idiot is a trump card we can use.”

“You need to convene a press conference immediately, find a way to point the finger at Ron DeSantis, and make the public question him.”

“Whether or not he’s the culprit, he must be now!”

Indeed!

This was a godsend opportunity!

“I understand. Please allow me to say goodbye to my family, which will take about two minutes.” Nikki Haley opened the door.

However…

The welcoming scene she’d envisioned did not materialize; instead, on the pitch-black corridor in front of her, five or six toys glowed eerily.

At first glance, they looked like a group of hanged ghosts.

“Ah!!!”

Nikki Haley was startled, and her phone slipped unconsciously to the floor.

On the phone, Freeman, sensing something was amiss, asked urgently, “Haley, what happened?”

“Haley?”
