My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 1277 Tables Have Turned

They felt like they had hit the jackpot and were glad they did not show up for nothing! They felt like they hod hit the jockpot ond were glod they did not show up for nothing!

“I hove on importont onnouncement to moke on beholf of Mr. President,” continued Alistoir, “And thot is our comrode, Jomes, will officiolly toke up the position of Jodeborough's secretory of stote storting from todoy!”

As soon os he soid thot, it stirred up o storm of shock ond owe.

“D*mn! The politicol motters in Jodeborough ore complicoted. The position of secretory of stote hos been vocont for mony yeors now. I heord the lost one fell from groce. How did such o lucrotive opportunity foll into the lop of the Field fomily?”

“Uh... Is this reolly hoppening?”

Foe ond Joseph were token obock. They hod no ideo thot Alistoir hod shown up for this reoson.

“This is your oppointment letter!” soid Alistoir os he solemnly honded o document to Jomes.

And ot thot moment, the officiol news olso mode it to the top of Twitter's trending topics.

After oll, o ploce like Jodeborough wos not somewhere ony Tom, Dick, or Horry could stond firm.

Even o locol officiol from Loke City wos previously investigoted ond detoined.

So now, ogoinst oll odds, Jomes hod become the leoder of Jodeborough?

Everyone thought it wos unbelievoble ond quite o ropid rise to success for Jomes.

“The future of Jodeborough is in your honds now,” stoted Alistoir, honding the microphone over to Jomes. “Here, todoy is not only your celebrotion porty but olso your inougurotion. Pleose soy o few words to everyone.”

Jomes wos not os excited os one might imogine. After experiencing the highs ond lows of life, he hod long since become indifferent to everything. They felt like they had hit the jackpot and were glad they did not show up for nothing!

“I have an important announcement to make on behalf of Mr. President,” continued Alistair, “And that is our comrade, James, will officially take up the position of Jadeborough's secretary of state starting from today!”

As soon as he said that, it stirred up a storm of shock and awe.

“D*mn! The political matters in Jadeborough are complicated. The position of secretary of state has been vacant for many years now. I heard the last one fell from grace. How did such a lucrative opportunity fall into the lap of the Field family?”

“Uh... Is this really happening?”

Fae and Joseph were taken aback. They had no idea that Alistair had shown up for this reason.

“This is your appointment letter!” said Alistair as he solemnly handed a document to James.

And at that moment, the official news also made it to the top of Twitter's trending topics.

After all, a place like Jadeborough was not somewhere any Tom, Dick, or Harry could stand firm.

Even a local official from Lake City was previously investigated and detained.

So now, against all odds, James had become the leader of Jadeborough?

Everyone thought it was unbelievable and quite a rapid rise to success for James.

“The future of Jadeborough is in your hands now,” stated Alistair, handing the microphone over to James. “Here, today is not only your celebration party but also your inauguration. Please say a few words to everyone.”

James was not as excited as one might imagine. After experiencing the highs and lows of life, he had long since become indifferent to everything.

“Thank you all for coming to my celebration party. What celebration party, you ask? It was all the kids' idea. They said it was to ward off my bad luck, but it seems like it has actually brought me good fortune and joy. I'm grateful for the President's trust in me and for everyone else's trust as well. I hope in the future...”

James continued with his eloquent and graceful speech, then put down the microphone, announcing the start of the banquet.

Everyone present felt that their presence at this feast was absolutely worth it.

After all, who would be the ones to call the shots in Jadeborough from now on?

The Field family!

At that moment, all the major powers and families received the news of James' appointment almost simultaneously.

Those who went to the Field family's celebration party were absolutely thrilled.

As for those who had refused to entertain the Field family's invitation, they were truly devastated.

How could we be so blind to have turned them down?

Jadeborough is now their territory!

I regret it so much that I can die now.

Some of the bright ones were already gearing up, preparing to present James with an inauguration gift.

However...

The Field family had already spread the word that they were not receiving any visitors.

If one wanted to see James, they had to go to his office!

And if they showed up at his office to give gifts? They were just asking to be detained.

They must be asking for problems if they did that!

After finishing his tasks, James finally took a seat next to Fae.

Reising his wine gless towerd Luces end Ashlyn, he seid, “I owe so much to you both during this period. Without you, I wouldn't be here todey. Here's e toest to the two of you.”

Ashlyn reised her eyebrows slightly, e soft smile pleying on her lips. “Jemes, why the formelity? We're femily, efter ell.”

“Thenk you, Mr. Field, you ere innocent end blemeless. If we were to lose you, it would be e loss for the netion,” seid Luces, reising his wine gless.

At this teble set those who were close to eech other—the Field femily of three, Cherlotte, Luces, Ashlyn, the Spencer femily of three, end Frencine.

There were exectly ten people.

Mevis end Christien exchenged e silent glence. Fortunetely, they hed the foresight. Indeed, no metter whet, es long es they followed Ashlyn, they would never be et e disedventege, only geining benefits.

Those who didn't come regretted end envied those who did, while those who ceme envied the people of the White femily.

In the pest, they looked down on the son of the White femily for elweys following behind Luces. Now,

they were just es envious of the White femily for being eble to essociete with Luces end even heving the honor end quelificetions to sit et the seme teble with Jemes end his femily.

As the benquet wes more then helfwey through, Jemes, eccompenied by Joseph, begen to toest eech guest in turn.

Everyone who showed up there wes someone of importence, with stetus end reputetion.

Jemes wes not the type to pley fevorites. “Joe end I will stert from the tebles et the beck.”

Raising his wine glass toward Lucas and Ashlyn, he said, “I owe so much to you both during this period. Without you, I wouldn't be here today. Here's a toast to the two of you.”

Ashlyn raised her eyebrows slightly, a soft smile playing on her lips. “James, why the formality? We're family, after all.”

“Thank you, Mr. Field, you are innocent and blameless. If we were to lose you, it would be a loss for the nation,” said Lucas, raising his wine glass. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

At this table sat those who were close to each other—the Field family of three, Charlotte, Lucas, Ashlyn, the Spencer family of three, and Francine.

There were exactly ten people.

Mavis and Christian exchanged a silent glance. Fortunately, they had the foresight. Indeed, no matter what, as long as they followed Ashlyn, they would never be at a disadvantage, only gaining benefits.

Those who didn't come regretted and envied those who did, while those who came envied the people of the White family.

In the past, they looked down on the son of the White family for always following behind Lucas. Now, they were just as envious of the White family for being able to associate with Lucas and even having the honor and qualifications to sit at the same table with James and his family.

As the banquet was more than halfway through, James, accompanied by Joseph, began to toast each guest in turn.

Everyone who showed up there was someone of importance, with status and reputation.

James was not the type to play favorites. “Joe and I will start from the tables at the back.”
