The power supply and network of the island had been restored. The ship would be open to the public after inspection.

Bored, Catelyn sat on the sofa and began watching the news.

The servant served a plate of fruit to her.

She picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. At this time, the hostess' excited voice came from the TV.

"It's ten o'clock in the morning. Our president announces in the Great Hall that he will run for the next presidential election, that is, he has decided to run for re-election! Let's follow our cameraman to see what's going on inside the hall..."

Since it was a live broadcast, the angle of the camera wasn't chosen appropriately at the beginning.

However, the team consisted of professional journalists and cameramen, who quickly adjusted the angle and offered a panoramic view of the hall.

Hearing the hostess' commentary, Catelyn saw the man in the middle of the hall giving a speech at a glance.

The man was probably in his early fifties, wearing a black suit and a blue tie. Due to the distant view, his face looked blurry. And Catelyn could vaguely see his muscular body.

The camera gradually zoomed in, and his face was slowly enlarged on the screen.

It was said that when this president took office, there happened to be civil strife in Fidelysia. A group of armed reactionaries colluded with foreign countries in an attempt to overthrow the regime. People were worried that the country would collapse. After rising to power, the president made much effort to quell the civil strife and remedy the desperate situation. With the domestic employment rate increased by seven percent, he also introduced foreign capital while developing local enterprises.

Within just a few years, Fidelysia became prosperous.

The moment Catelyn saw the president in profile, she was shocked, and the grape in her mouth slid down and got stuck in her throat.

Her eyes widened in disbelief...

"Ms. Clark?" Several maids' faces turned pale when they saw Catelyn covering her neck with both hands and her face turning blue. They dropped the tools in their hands anxiously and went to check on her. They helped her sit up on the sofa...

A tall man passed by the door at this second.

Alfred heard Catelyn's bodyguard say that Catelyn and Cedrick had an unhappy chat, so he intended to give her an explanation for what had happened last night.

Maybe he was too impulsive then, and his words were harsh to the ear.

But he didn't expect to see Catelyn choking.

"What's going on?" He walked over quickly.

"A fruit seems to get stuck in Ms. Clark's throat..." The maid said fearfully and then pointed at the plate of fruit.

Alfred hardened his face and ordered, "You support Ms. Clark, and others keep away. She needs fresh air."

The maids followed his order. As Catelyn's abdomen was very big, the maid supporting her was very careful and avoided touching it.

Catelyn was out of breath, staring at Alfred with wide-open eyes.

"Don't be afraid. I've learned first aid." Comforting Catelyn, Alfred poked her in the back of her neck and gave her a good hit.

"Ahem..."

The flavor of the grape spread in Catelyn's mouth, and she finally spat out that damn grape
