Emily, The Mute Girl
The Truth that is Reversed

The crowd instantly stopped talking as the door of the Hall opened wide. The atmosphere was suddenly silent when the host informed the presence of the President and the candidate for his Second Wife. In apparent shock at the look on their faces, the President actually brought in Emily who had died years ago. Happiness was clearly imprinted on Jeremy's face, while Emily's beautiful face was expressionless.

Everyone there including Aunt Agnes and Fernando and Steven could not take their eyes off the couple who were climbing the stairs to the altar.

"Sister Emily is really alive" Steven muttered in disbelief.

When Jeremy and Emily are on top, Jeremy's views meet with Clarissa, but Jeremy doesn't really care about her. Jeremy turned around and looked at everyone who was also looking at him with a wondering look. Jeremy smiled faintly.

"I'm sure everyone here would want to know what's really going on." Jeremy started talking.

"Therefore, I invite all of you including the reporters to listen to a little of my story." Jeremy paused to look at Emily softly.

"As you all know, all this time my beloved wife died of a peanut allergy. It's true, at that time my wife almost lost her life due to allergies, but as you can see now, my Beloved is still alive and standing together with me here."

These words made everyone look back at each other and start commenting on each other. The President uses the words 'love' and 'love', showing how much the President appreciates the mute woman. But, what about the First Lady? Jeremy did not care about the whispers, he continued what he wanted to say.

"As you know, my respected father, Antonio Charlos, turned out to be a ruthless mobster who liked to play women. His wealth comes from the sale and purchase of human organs illegally and many illegal drug transactions. Child abduction and corruption

everywhere, but the previous President could not do anything well to stop him. We need a change, and I've been wanting to sort out my father's problems for a long time. But if I want to take down my father's power, I must be stronger than him. Therefore, I am trying to run for President. At the time, I had a mute wife. It makes me unable to be nominated because our rules say that a leader cannot have a disabled companion. If she were still my wife, I wouldn't have the support and strength of all of you. There were many people who were against his presence. But, I love her so much and I even thought of letting go of everything for the sake of living with her. But do you know what my wife said?" Jeremy paused for a moment and looked back at Emily with a smile.

"She said, this country needs change and justice. He said I should do something for the good of our homeland. He even died for this country."

Emily widened her eyes, Jeremy of course made up everything she just said. Emily never said anything like that. Unfortunately, Emily's surprised face attracts Jeremy and makes him even more eager to tell more lies.

"We were married in a covenant of life and death, meaning we could only be separated by death. Therefore, my beloved wife is willing to die so that I can be elected. But of course I disagree. I love him so much, so how can I watch him die? Because if he dies, I'll die, too."

His words at the end made all of them who were in the Hall startled, and some of them cried out, saying,

"Please don't say that. Mr. President must live another hundred years!!"

Jeremy smiles at the call, while Emily hopes there is a magician who can eliminate her from there right now. Jeremy then continued his words,

"So, raise your hands if anyone disagrees that I'm making her my Second Wife."

Although it's the rule in the country if a leader should not have a flawed companion, but with Jeremy's words flipping through the truth, it makes Emily look like a hero behind the scenes, they can't say anything against it.

"Certainly that?" steven said with disappointment in his heart.

"Sister Emily from the beginning already knew about Brother Jeremy's plan to eliminate Uncle Antonio, even he was involved in it?" this time it was Fernando who spoke in a bitter tone.

"Sacrificing himself for this country he said?" Fernando held back the emotions in his chest.

Their uncle, Antonio Charlos, is not a perfect person, but he is not as bad as Jeremy said. Antonio's uncle had only once fucked a woman other than his wife, and that was Margaretha, Jeremy's real mother. Doing illegal transactions, it was just Jeremy's handiwork and too on top of that. Isn't Jeremy the main culprit? Fernando and Steven could barely contain his emotions. They intend to go ahead and attack Jeremy now, but Aunt Agnes' voice stops them.

"If you are tired of living and want to die today, go ahead. I won't stand in your way." This speech made them speechless, of course their impulsive actions would only harm themselves.

"Patience for a moment. We can't just believe what he's saying." Aunt Agnes said softly.

"Did Auntie not believe him?" ask Fernando.

"Do you think Emily would do any of that? Can't you see from here, his facial expression is so depressed?" Aunt Agnes asked back, making both of them silent and aware of the look on Emily's face that looked unsettled.

While everyone is still questioning something else, if Emily sacrificed herself so Jeremy could become President, then what about First Lady? Didn't the President also marry her and have a son? Even now the First Lady is pregnant again. Is it a political marriage? Jeremy can get support and strength from the Clarissa family, but what does Clarissa get?

This became their conversation, and made Jeremy like a jerk in front of everyone. Della looked at Jeremy from her seat and silently smiled mockingly at him. Jeremy makes a big, grand party for Emily, and makes the woman seem like a hero, but the man indirectly embarrasses himself. However, Jeremy just smiled cynically hearing the conversation of the people who were there.

"Regarding my relationship with Clarissa.." Jeremy deliberately paused his speech, making the Hall once again quiet. Everyone waited curiously, wanting to know what kind of relationship between the President and the First Lady was.

"It was nothing more than an accident that I did while drunk and was affected by alcohol. But, shouldn't as a man, I be responsible?" jeremy said while deliberately staring at Clarissa who was sitting not far from where they were standing.
