Old Xiong also did not know that his precious granddaughter was engaged with something even more dangerous and murky than this.
Thus, Xiong Zhi shook her head. "It is too late. I have already signed the papers and became an official VVIP. Most importantly, like I said earlier, I will not have the power to help your faction at the upcoming election. I came here to inform you."
Old Xiong's frown deepened. He drank tea to cool down his annoyance.
Xiong Zhi continued. She was slightly nervous while telling the elder of her big mistake.
"The other faction approached me earlier this day. I had no choice but to tie my own hands. I do not want to help them gather one more critical vote, but I also cannot help grandfather's faction."
Old Xiong choked and coughed. He was stumped.
"Cough! They approached you?! Those--cough! Are you alright?! Who dared to threaten my heiress! Cough!"
