The extraordinary life of a certain American comic.

Chapter 142 The Reason for Selling My Son (45 Please Order All!)

Hey!
First, the Phoenix.

Then there are the dragons.

You're determined to keep causing trouble by grabbing onto the East Country's myth, aren't you?

Locke was too tired to complain, so he looked at Gideon and sighed.

"Come on, even if they are snakes, they are described as oriental snakes. What kind of snakes are you? Don't you have any idea?"

“But the principle is the same.”

I'll fuck your grandma.

Locke rolled his eyes.

Forget it.

Drop whatever you like.

He finally understood that Gideon was determined to drag him on board today.

Locke thought to himself, too lazy to continue arguing with Gideon on this issue, and stood up from his chair and looked at Gideon: "Anyway, I'm going to take Tiffany, but I won't be on your ship. You can have fun however you want, but don't take me with you."

Gideon looked at Locke who was showing his cards, and slowly stood up from his chair.

"If you don't think about it, I'm afraid it's too late."

"..."

As Locke listened to these words, his eyes swept past Gideon and fell on a skull ornament on Gideon's desk that looked like it had nine tentacles.

This time when he came back from New York City, when he was talking to Frank in the study, this ornament was also placed on Frank's desk.

Locke looked away and looked at Gideon, who had a smile on his face that said, "If you don't want to come, then don't come. I'm afraid it's not up to you." He sighed and said, "You want to say that Frank is already your man."

He wasn't weird at all.

Because after he came back, he realized it when he saw this special ornament on old Underwood's desk.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly sighed when he left the study, returned to the living room, and hugged Esme.

Their family is really not like other powerful families.

Because in other powerful families, it is the sons who cause trouble and the fathers who clean up the mess.

The Underwoods had it the other way around.

However, it was precisely because he saw the ornaments on old Underwood's desk first and guessed something that he thought of meeting Stephanie.

but……

Locke looked at Gideon with some curiosity.

"I'm curious how you got him into this."

"hehe."

Gideon laughed when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Locke, you guessed wrong. I didn't drag him into the water. He went into the water on his own."

Locke raised an eyebrow and looked at Gideon.

next second.

He seemed to have thought of something.

"The time when I was married to Michelle Walker?"

"Frank is from South Carolina, and you were curious about why he wanted to find you a mixed-race kid."

"No."

Locke glanced at Gideon and said, "He is a guy with a strong desire for power. As long as it helps him, I think it is possible for him to sell me to the old white man."

Gideon laughed when he heard this.

"Is that how you see Frank?"

"Is not it?"

Locke asked Gideon calmly.

Because it is.

He wasn't exaggerating at all.

Fortunately, in this life, Claire's mother, who had a child, gradually changed her desire for power as he grew up.

Moreover, because of him, the relationship between his mother Claire in this life and his grandparents is not as rigid as in the original plot.

As for the old Underwood?
Let him go.

No matter what he does, old Underwood is contributing to this family, to his mother Claire, and to himself.

In a word, even if Frank has no credit, he has worked hard.

After laughing loudly, Gideon stopped laughing, looked at Locke, and told him a secret.

“Michelle Walker is our person.”

"..."

Locke was silent for a while, then squinted his eyes and looked at Gideon: "So, the marriage was your idea?"

Gideon looked at Locke very frankly: "If it was your daughter, if there was such a man who abandoned your precious daughter, what would you do?"

Locke narrowed his eyes and looked at Gideon without any hesitation: "I will twist off that bastard's head and use it as a urinal."

Gideon smiled slightly, then spread his hands: "But my daughter asked me not to cause you trouble, but you have to let me vent my anger."

Locke seemed to have thought of something.

"wrong."

"Something's wrong."

"You just said that it was after I got married that you learned the truth about our breakup from Tiffany."

"Yes, I said so."

"..."

Locke looked at Gideon, who was smiling: "You knew it before this."

Gideon shrugged. "Locke, I just said that what you know about us is what we were before. We are stronger today than before. We are stronger than you can imagine."

Locke's mouth twitched: "So you came up with the idea of marriage, but you should know that I will never agree to it."

Gideon spread his hands: "But this will disgust you. However, I didn't expect that you would not want such a good daughter of mine, but choose a wild girl from Boston."

Locke chuckled.

"Esme is not some wild girl."

“For me, yes.”

"But to me, no, she's my wife."

If the harem is unstable, there will definitely be a fire in the harem.

He failed here in his last life, and he must not make the same mistake again in this life. However...

Locke was not interested in discussing his wife Esme with Stephanie's father. He shook his head and said, "You still haven't told me what evidence you have against Frank."

Gideon corrected, waving his hand.

"First of all, I need to state that this evidence was not found by me, but by Walker's staff."

"Walker is your man. Isn't the evidence he found yours?"

"But he wanted to use this to bring down Frank in the first place. It was me who proposed the marriage."

Gideon said this and looked at Locke with a smile: "So, you should thank me."

Locke looked at Gideon with a forced smile.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Gideon listened to Locke's smile, which widened a little, and then he continued.

"In fact, I rarely participate in these things."

"I like to be behind the scenes, so I can see things clearly."

"But not you."

"My precious daughter likes you, so if she pays attention to you, she will definitely pay attention to Frank."

"That's why, when Walker found Frank's dirt, I knew about it immediately, and then I came up with a little way to disgust you."

"Unfortunately, your choice was beyond my expectations. I expected your rejection, but you got married right away, which was beyond my choice."

"My daughter was very sad when I heard the news of your marriage, but I was also relieved at the same time."

"Because I can finally know the truth about your breakup openly."

"Then the next question is how to vent my anger. I want to kill you, but my daughter won't allow it."

"What about Frank?"

"It's a good idea, but it's because of you. Even after Tiffany knew you were married, she wouldn't let me do anything."

"but……"

"Now comes my favorite part, the twist."

"You chose to get married, which made Walker very angry. At the same time, you chose to get married, which also put Frank in a passive position because of Walker's anger."

"Because once his dirty laundry is released, I'm afraid he'll end up in prison in his next life, not to mention his current position."

"But you know, Frank isn't one to wait to be beaten, so he found me."

"He didn't know that Walker was actually one of ours, but he found the right person."

"God can testify."

Gideon said to Locke with a smile on his face, "Frank came to me on his own initiative, I didn't invite him. Of course, in return, I gave Frank the dirty laundry and facilitated the cooperation between Frank and Walker."

It's delivered to your door, don't give it up for free.

If the party whip who comes to your door happens to be your daughter's ex-boyfriend who she is still obsessed with, then you can't refuse him.

So he asked for it.

Done.

Gideon looked towards Locke and spread his hands again: "This is what happened."

Locke listened to Gideon's story and sighed.

He also didn't bother about old Underwood joining Hydra.

Because this is already a fact, it is history.

He likes to look forward.

"So what exactly is that dirty stuff?"

"You might as well take a guess."

"He has a lot of negative information."

"you know?"

Locke glanced at Gideon and said, "How can you survive in Washington without some black material on you?"

Gideon nodded in agreement with this statement.

"indeed."

"So just tell me directly, what is the scandal that made him so nervous?"

After all, the Federation is an open country. To put it in a more metaphorical way, its bottom line is very low.

Quite low.

Therefore, general scandals, such as happiness, phone girls, or threesomes, would at most cause a riot, and would not cause the party whip to lose his composure to the point of selling out his own rebellious son.

Unless this black material has already exceeded the federation’s already low bottom line.

but……

Locke really couldn't think of it, and was too lazy to think about it, so he looked directly at Gideon for the answer.

Gideon smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he stood up and, under Locke's gaze, opened the bookcase. Then he moved it a little, revealing a secret space.

Locke watched Gideon's actions with interest.

"You're doing this right in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I might sneak in and take everything out?"

"Not afraid."

"So confident?"

"I can write in my will that my illegitimate son will inherit, but I can also not write in my will."

"..."

You are so cruel.

Locke no longer discusses the subject.

Gideon took out a document from the secret space, closed the bookcase door, and threw it directly to Locke: "I won't say anything more, just read it yourself."

Locke took the information, but did not check it immediately. Instead, he looked at Gideon with a strange expression.

"Didn't you say you gave the dirty laundry to Frank?"

"Yes."

Gideon sat back down and looked at Locke: "But I didn't say I didn't keep a backup."

Locke: “…”
