Chapter 109 Accusations

• A few days later, at the Allen residence, the atmosphere was palpably tense. With only three days left before the pivotal elections, the house was abuzz with frantic activity and hushed conversations. In the grand dining hall, Frederick Allen sat at the head of the table, exuding an air of authority and determination. Around him sat several key members of his political party, their faces etched with worry and anticipation. Among them, Leo Allen, his son, sat attentively, engaging in the strategic discussion that was underway.
• The conversation was abruptly interrupted by the hurried entrance of their butler, Mr. Thompson. His usual composed demeanor was replaced by an unusual urgency as he walked directly to Frederick Allen and whispered something into his ear. Frederick's expression hardened, and he immediately excused himself from the table, his eyes locking onto Leo's.
• "Leo, come with me," he said firmly, rising from his seat. The party members exchanged uneasy glances, sensing the underlying tension.
