Two days, just two days later.
The news from Crestfall City came back.
The matter of Carly Lambert's corruption and bribery was indeed true.
When Cornell Morgan got this result, he was so pleasantly surprised in his office that he nearly jumped up.
Ten minutes later.
He knocked on the door of Carly Lambert's office.
Upon entering, Carly was reviewing documents, maintaining the image she usually projected—serious, aloof, and proud.
"Oh, it's Mayor Morgan, is there something you need?"
Cornell Morgan stood there for a moment.
Carly only looked up to ask.
"Secretary Lambert, are you free? I'd like to have a chat."
Cornell Morgan confidently sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
Carly frowned and said, "Mayor Morgan, no smoking in my office; I can't stand the smell of smoke."
Cornell Morgan wasn't flustered, nor did he extinguish the cigarette; instead, he flicked the ash directly on the ground, disdainfully asking, "Secretary Lambert, what if I insist on smoking?"
