Chapter 543 They were sent over by Lennonâs assistant, Thomas.
Thomas was very respectful. He said, âMs. Logan, Mr. Stark flew to Italy early this morning Before leaving, he repeatedly told me to deliver these to you.â
Mariela thought, âLennon went to Italy?
âIs it about dealing with Nikolas?â
Marie glanced at the two pieces of jewelry and said in a flat tone, âTake them back. I donât want them.â
Thomas frowned and said, âMs. Logan, please take them. Mr. Stark said that if they were returned, I wouldnât have my job anymore. Iâll just go to the HR department and submit my resignation.â
Marie was speechless for a moment. Lennon was a master at blackmailing.
Thomas had a bitter and resentful look on his face, with a hint of pleading in his eyes. He said, âMs. Logan, please accept them. I have parents to support and children to take care of. I canât afford to lose this job.â
âAlright, just leave them there,â Marie said helplessly.
She did not want to make it difficult for Thomas.
âAlright!â Thomas immediately beamed with joy and said, âIâll head back. See you.â
Marie nodded, âSee you.â
After Thomas left, Marie looked at the two exquisite pieces of jewelry and sighed helplessly.
In Italy.
The current Prime Minister, Emiliano Barnes, had a close relationship with Nikolas before taking office as Prime Minister. He was elected as Prime Minister solely with the help of Nikolas.
Emilianoâs term had already ended.
According to Italian law, the candidate for prime minister must be a member of the Chamber of Deputies. The candidate must be nominated by the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies and, after being approved by members of both houses, the nominations would then be submitted to the king for approval.
Due to his status, Lennon was unable to directly participate in the election for the Prime Minister of Italy.
But he could use someone elseâs help from behind the scenes.
Before the current Prime Minister Emiliano was elected, he had a strong competitor, Noemi Jimenez.
Noemi, both in terms of family background and abilities, surpassed Emiliano. In the previous 95.1%
< Chapter 543 election, she came very close to being elected as the prime minister.
Who would have known that Emiliano would suddenly surpass Noemi in both popularity and votes as if he had cheated?
Later, after Emiliano was elected, he immediately passed a bill legalizing mara.
Once this bill was passed, Nikolas, the leader of Italyâs largest gang, became the direct beneficiary.
At this point, Noemi finally realized that Emiliano had already reached an agreement with Nikolas.
