Chapter 259 Representative Macht's Investment
"Woof—woof woof—"
Susie, sticking out her tongue, strolled leisurely through the streets of Queens with a cheerful gait.
Although it is now a talking, intelligent "spectator" dog, sometimes it still really enjoys being a normal dog.
That kind of unrestrained and carefree joy is something that humans can hardly comprehend.
Meow~
A lazy, yet strangely alluring meow suddenly came from not far away, attracting its attention.
?
"Meow~ You're so nice~"
"Woof! Woof woof!" (Who are you? Where are you?)
Susie immediately became alert. She could sense that someone was talking to her, but she couldn't see who it was.
It sniffed the air.
Then, it looked up and saw a bright orange cat perched on a treetop not far away, looking down at it with a faint smile in its amber eyes.
Meow~
Meanwhile, at the residence of Congressman Macht.
These past two days, the atmosphere at home has finally calmed down compared to the previous two days.
Because Hazel eventually accepted the doctor's examination, the huge misunderstanding between her and her parents was resolved, but—not completely resolved.
The examination results proved that Hazel had not reached that "final step," which indeed greatly relieved Liana.
But to say that she and that young man named James Scott were just friends? Liana simply didn't believe it.
Putting everything else aside, to this day, Hazel has never explained why she risked climbing over the wall that night. No matter how you ask her, she always seems evasive and hesitant, clearly hiding something.
"My daughter, I know you've always been very opinionated and trust your own judgment, but—what if you've been deceived this time—" Liana said worriedly, sitting by her daughter's bedside.
"So, you want Dad to help that Scott, right?" In the study, Congressman Macht looked at his daughter and asked bluntly.
"Yes, Father." Hazel lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt.
Despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and seek her father's help, given the "deal" with James Scott and his impending visit.
"Hazel, are you sure you and that young man named James Scott are just ordinary friends?" Congressman Macht's eyes sharpened. "You've come to see me now, also just out of pure friendship?"
"Uh—of course, Dad! What else could it be!" Hazel's body seemed a little stiff, and her eyes unconsciously drifted elsewhere.
"Really?" Representative Macht's tone rose slightly.
"You—you don't believe your daughter anymore?" Hazel's voice was clearly uneasy and lacked confidence.
"Alright, alright, I trust your judgment." Senator Macht sighed and chose to back down.
"What?! Dad!" Hazel's face flushed instantly, and she retorted excitedly, "I've explained to you and Mom so many times! I'm not in a relationship!"
"Yes, yes, I know, I know," Representative Macht nodded perfunctorily.
"What?! Daddy!" Hazel felt her cheeks burning hot, both angry and anxious. "—And Mommy—didn't Mommy have the doctor come and check on her—"
"Hmph!" The thought made her furious. It was bad enough that her mother suspected she and that awful Scott were having an affair, but to think she was already—
What frustrated her even more was that these past two days, even the maid at home had been looking at her with a knowing, strange, and pitying gaze!
It's awful to feel like you did nothing at all, but everyone thinks you did!
She's been feeling down about this for days.
Sigh, if only my teacher were here, she would definitely have a way to help me solve these problems.
"Teacher, where have you gone?" Hazel sighed inwardly.
Ever since her last night when she tried to climb over the wall and was discovered by the bodyguard, Liana has increased security measures at home, especially in the area downstairs from her room. Now, not even a cat can sneak over there silently, let alone a person.
She can't get out, and the teacher doesn't come to her, so she doesn't even have anyone to talk to now.
"Damn it! It's all that James Scott's fault!"
Yes, something was definitely fishy—looking at his daughter's blushing, shy face, Mori Macht became even more certain of his guess.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that Hera, a girl who knows nothing about guns or business, would suddenly become interested in a gun factory is highly suspicious. Although his daughter is precocious, her interests have never strayed from the realm of most girls her age.
He suddenly became interested in the firearms industry and even said he had already invested his allowance. This seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.
Clearly, in Senator Macht's eyes, Heyole's words and actions were all for the sake of helping her boyfriend, the young man named James Scott.
"Sigh, how could a daughter's little tricks possibly fool her old father?" Congressman Macht sighed inwardly, then his eyes sharpened again.
He's a man who's seen it all in politics and the military. If it's just simple romance between young men and women, then it's not a big problem, as long as they're careful and don't cause any scandals.
What he truly feared was that the young man named James Scott had impure motives. He had known for a long time that Scott had connections with the military, which was why he had deliberately approached Hazel.
Although, according to Liana's account and Hazel's own words, their acquaintance seems to have been just an accident.
However, in any case, you still need to talk to the other party in person and see for yourself before you can make a judgment.
"Cough cough—"
A cough from Senator Macht brought Hazel back to reality from her thoughts.
"Since this is my precious daughter's first investment, I, as her father, will definitely help her out—"
"Really?" Hazel's eyes lit up, temporarily ignoring the teasing tone in her father's voice.
"Of course," Senator Macht nodded. "However, I hope to have a proper talk with that James Scott in person about this."
"Okay!" Hazel breathed a sigh of relief.
She had done all she could. If James Scott couldn't convince her father himself, then there was nothing she could do.
"However, let me make this clear first," Congressman Macht added, "I will not be investing in your business. There aren't any extra funds available at home right now for that."
"I understand, Dad, you don't need to invest," Hazel quickly assured him.
But her father's words also piqued her curiosity: "Why is there no money at home lately? Has something happened?"
Congressman Macht hesitated for a moment, then thought it might be best for his daughter to know, and explained, "Do you remember Uncle John?"
"Is it that friend of yours from your time in the army, Dad?"

“Yes, that’s him,” Congressman Macht continued. “He’s currently an officer in a colony on the southern continent.”
"Recently, a newly established mining company in Backlund has reportedly discovered a huge gold mine in the southern continent. I've already asked John to go and verify it on-site, and it's true."
His voice lowered slightly, tinged with excitement: "Not many people know about this. I have a few friends who want to team up and buy a large amount of stock and shares in this company before it gets public."

"Hayr, this could be a great opportunity for our family to take things a step further."
