Chapter 1118

Joyce stared blankly at the TV, and on Otis’ shoulder, his badge shone

brightly.

After Otis’ brief remarks, a senior officer took over for Otis and began

the main briefing.

After a brief appearance, Otis retired to the background.

The senior officer elaborated that the military was in an unprecedented

crisis - Ms. Cecelia had a sudden accident and was dying, and the

general had a heart attack after being informed of the bad news and

was currently receiving emergency treatment.

Since there was no leader within the military, Otis, the current highest-

ranked officer, shall take over the management from General Ralph.

The new leadership team would be quickly established within two days

to ensure that the national defense security would not be affected in

any way.

In addition, the military would continue to maintain its freedom and

independence, it would not interfere in the president's political affairs, it

would continue to take the safety of the nation as its top priority, and it

would not affect the lives of the people, so all the citizens could rest

assured.

As Joyce listened, the images in front of her seemed to be spinning,

and the sound coming out of the TV became blurred.

It was as if everything was so ... unreal.

This was it? A coup d'état?

Otis ascended to the top of the military?

So fast?

Everything's changed overnight?

What about Cecelia, what about General Ralph? What happened to

them?

She stood there dumbfounded, her mind blank, and she could never

believe what had just happened.

The room was very quiet, and Luther did not make a sound, nor did

Anderson. Even Ivy, who is usually always ranting, froze and watched

the TV without saying a word.

At that moment, the phone suddenly rang, and it never stopped. Her

heart seemed to follow the “thump, thump, thump" beat.

Luther finally spoke up, "It's not my phone."

She hurriedly looked down. It was her phone ringing.

It was Kane.

Yes, Roberts Media was a major company in the media world.

He didn't hear anything beforehand after such a big incident?

Joyce hurriedly pressed the answer button.

Kane's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sister,

have you seen the news yet?"

"Yeah, all the TV stations are showing the same live feed.”

"Sister, the military has changed. Just now the military suddenly took

over the official radio and television station, and we only knew what

happened after the live broadcast. Now the military have informed us to

release it according to what they said. Now no one knows what

happened and the Roberts family dares not to confront him, and can

only do as they say."

Kane finished in one breath, "Sister, is there anything unusual on your

side? Has Luther come back yet?"

"Nothing unusual.” Joyce glanced up at Luther, "He's back.”

“That's good. I'm relieved to have someone to look after your side.

Sister, I'm going to Roberts’ Headquarters to help them, and I'll call you

in time if there's anything new."

"Hmm. You go get busy."

After Joyce hung up the phone.

Ivy couldn't resist coming up and asking, "Ms. Knowles, Mr. Warner, I

am confused. What has actually happened? Does it have any effect on

us?"

“It's not clear at this point, and the impact can be large or small." Luther

subconsciously hugged Anderson tighter, "Our country is always a

military government, and it's only now changed to a presidential

system. The influence of the military is always there. Because the

military power has never been transferred to the government. Originally

the Heath family promised that it was getting ready for the transfer, and

it should just be the following years."
