Chapter 315 The bloody plot of House of Cards

"Emily~Alexander, long time no see. Good evening."

When Abel took his parents and walked around the crowd.

After helping Alexander and getting to know many people, I decided to take a short break.

A gentle voice sounded next to Abel and others.

Abel turned around and saw a middle-aged and elderly white man who was about the same age as Alexander. He wore glasses and looked elegant, holding hands with a woman who must have been in her fifties.

Abel felt that the white man looked familiar, but Emily, who was next to Alexander, already said happily: "Joan, how good you are! Oh, Familla, good evening to you too."

Alexander, who was holding Emily's arm, also nodded lightly towards the other two.

Little Laura, who was holding Abel's arm, raised her head and looked at him, her beautiful eyes seemed to be asking who this was.

Abel actually didn't know, he just thought it looked familiar and he must have seen it before.

"Hello, Abel. I met you when you were a child. But that was when you were seven or eight years old. More than ten years have passed, and I didn't expect you to become so powerful."

The middle-aged and elderly white man whom Emily called "Qiong" smiled and nodded at Abel.

Abel was certain that this was a relative from his mother's side, but he wasn't sure who it was specifically.

He could only smile and wait for Emily and Alexander's reactions.

Alexander probably knew his son's confusion. The Tarrant County Sheriff said softly:

"Good evening, Joan, Farmila Abel, this should be considered your uncle."

Abel was not shocked when he heard the news. He looked like Emily.

Emily nodded, "Joan is my cousin. The child of my father's brother."

Abel then smiled and nodded to the other party, and then said softly: "Good evening, Joan, and this lady."

Abel noticed that Joan's expression was normal, but Familla, who should be Joan's wife, didn't have that good expression.

As far as Abel knew, his mother was from Kansas. His maternal grandfather seemed to have passed away a long time ago.

Anyway, Abel has never seen it.

Abel remembered that his mother seemed to have a lot of relatives on her side, but they had little contact with them.

Abel remembered Emily and Alexander and had rarely been to Kansas.

But occasionally people from Kansas come over.

Joan like this must have been to Texas, otherwise Abel wouldn't think she looked familiar.

As for what happened to my mother, why the couple never went to Kansas.

Since the two of them never talked about it, Abel naturally didn't know either.

This made his attitude naturally seem lukewarm.

Looking at Abel like this, Emily also didn't seem to leave Alexander's arms.

Joan smiled bitterly and said softly: "Okay, okay. So be it. Emily, you gave birth to a good son. I'm so happy for you. Alexander, you are a good husband, Emily looks like you are

Very well taken care of.”

Abel looked at his parents. Alexander was still expressionless and didn't even dare to speak.

Emily had some expressions and looked a little excited, but other than the greeting at the beginning, she didn't show anything special.

Abel guessed that there might be something going on here. Especially Joan's wife, Famila, always looked bad.

"Hey, I wish you all a pleasant evening." Qiong smiled bitterly, held the wine glass in one hand, and walked away holding his wife.

After they walked away, little Laura looked at Alexander and his wife and saw that the elders had no intention of speaking.

She whispered to Abel: "The one just now seems to be a congressman, one of the seven representatives of Kansas. His name seems to be Joan Farr Koch."

"Koch?"

Abel looked at her, and little Laura knew what he meant.

Because in Kansas, there is a very influential Koch family, which relies on the oil industry to establish a foothold in the country and develop very well.

"It's not the Koch." Little Laura said: "This Koch should be from a political family in Kansas City, Kansas. I remember that their family had several members of Congress, but all of them were members of the House of Representatives."

Seeing that his girlfriend was as knowledgeable as the American Zhengzhi "Wang Yuyan", Abel couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "How come you know everything? Even such a remote Zhengzhi family knows?"

"Kansas is in the middle of the United States. It is the geographical center of the 48 states. It is not remote." Little Laura smiled and whispered:

"As for why I know so much, it's simple, because I study hard! My grandmother told me that a bush woman should be the kind of woman her husband needs most."

"I think you need a woman who can answer your questions and help you in this area. Then I will work hard in this area! Let me tell you, I have remembered the Zhengji family in most states in our country.

Probably!"

Abel was speechless and just hugged her hard.

Little Laura felt his different strength and smiled sweetly at him.

Watching the young man's interaction, Emily's slight bad emotions caused by seeing her old friend were washed away.

The conversation between the two young people just now did not avoid the couple.

Emily looked at Alexander, who said softly: "That's your child. And his achievements are even greater than those of his father and grandfather. You can say whatever you want."

Emily nodded slightly, and then spoke in a low voice.

Things are a bit bloody.

Simply put, Emily is a Kansas native.

When she was a child, her father was a member of the Kansas House of Representatives.

Later, her father had an accident and unfortunately suffered a stroke and died.

According to relevant laws, when a member of Congress dies in office, the governor of his district will generally designate a successor to the position of member.

Traditionally, this heir is usually a relative of the deceased member of parliament, and in many cases it is his wife or deputy.

Emily's mother had already passed away at that time and she had only one brother.

Her brother was still in college at the time, and her uncle was her father's deputy.

Naturally, her brother could not compete with her uncle, and her father's position as a member of Congress naturally fell to her uncle.

Her brother was very angry and said in the newspaper that her father had not suffered a natural stroke but was killed by her uncle.

There was a huge commotion at that time, and many American newspapers reported on it. Later, even relevant departments intervened to investigate.

The result of the investigation was that her uncle was not guilty, but her brother was guilty of hiding flour.

In the end, her brother was sent to prison and sentenced to thirteen years.

She was only five or six years old at the time, and within a month her family was ruined, her father had died, and her brother was in prison.

After that.

Her uncle's family adopted her, and Emily grew up in her uncle's house.

Her uncle was very successful and was re-elected, making the Koch family develop even better.

Later, when she was admitted to Rice University and came to Texas to study, her brother was released from prison.

Not long after she was released from prison, she planned to kill her uncle and planted a bomb in front of her uncle's house. They were a group of people with strong martial arts.

However, he failed in the end and was shot dead by the local police who rushed to the scene when he tried to launch a shooting.

She was not long eighteen years old at the time, and after learning the bad news, she never returned to Kansas.

The Joan Farr Koch just now was her uncle's youngest son, one year older than her, and the relative who took the most care of her when they were in Kansas.

After listening to his mother's simple story, Abel looked at Alexander.

Alexander knew what his son meant. His father shook his head gently and said:

"Your grandfather went there to understand the situation. Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas was your grandfather's former comrade-in-arms. Congressman Moran helped, and the result of the investigation was that your grandfather really had a stroke. Amy

There may be something wrong with Li's brother, but it's no use anymore, so many years have passed."

Abel thought to himself that his grandfather really had many comrades and had a wide range of contacts.

No wonder even a man as realistic and intelligent as Herbert would be happy to maintain a relationship with Alex Smith

"What do you mean?" Abel looked at his mother.

After saying the words to her son, Emily seemed much more relaxed.

She smiled and said: "I am almost fifty years old. My uncle has passed away. My brother has been dead for more than thirty years. I have forgotten what my parents look like."

"Time will heal all scars. My child, Joan, is very good to me, and my uncle was very good to me before. But I will not go back to Kansas again. Just pretend that it has nothing to do with me."

"My dear," Emily said, holding her husband's hand with one hand and Abel's hand with the other, "I love you. I just want you."

After Emily, who was holding the father and son with each hand, finished speaking, she looked at little Laura watching eagerly beside her.

She smiled and let go of Alexander, holding little Laura by the hand.

"And you, dear Laura, and you."

Little Laura laughed happily.

Abel shrugged, feeling that his mother had indeed let go.

Otherwise, even though my hand still wouldn't be able to reach that far.

But with his character, he will definitely find a way to check it out.

Even if it is very difficult to check.
