Chapter 127: Welcome to India

The day flew by faster than Eleanor had anticipated. After dropping Freya off at school, she headed straight to the office. As soon as she stepped through the main doors, she found Juliette Blanc already waiting for her.

"Good morning, Elder Juliette," Eleanor greeted her with a nod and a warm smile.

"Good morning, Boss. I was waiting for you," Juliette replied, standing as Eleanor approached.

With pleasantries exchanged, Eleanor led her to her private office at top floor and gestured for her to sit across from her desk. She poured herself a cup of tea and leaned back slightly, ready to listen.

Juliette didn’t waste time. "I’ve finalized the plan," she began, unfolding two sheets of paper and placing them on the desk. "We need to save a total of thirteen individuals from the list. In total, we’ve compiled evidence against fifty-seven people, all of which could guarantee them a minimum of three years to a maximum of life imprisonment."

Eleanor raised an eyebrow. "And the thirteen?"

"They are the ones who could be useful to us politically," Juliette explained. "If we ensure their safety and loyalty, the rest... forty-four people... comprise members of the opposition, the ruling party, high-ranking officials, and influential businessmen. Most are politicians." She handed Eleanor the two pages.

Eleanor took a moment to scan the first sheet, then shifted her attention to the list of thirteen. She read the names aloud, slowly: "Baron John Constantine, Lady Angela Dodson, Baron Ernest Prentice..." She continued down the list of MPs and frowned slightly as she reached the last three names... retired politicians with no current posts.

Juliette noticed her reaction. "Don’t be puzzled by those three," she said. "Though they’re retired and hold no official position anymore, their influence within the party is immense. They might not be active, but they can still make or break a candidate’s future. Oliver didn’t have business dealings with them, but somehow, he came into possession of their old sex tapes. I reviewed the footage myself. It’s clear these recordings were taken several years ago. I suspect he bought them to secure his position."

Eleanor’s gaze hardened. "And now we can use it for leverage."

"Exactly," Juliette nodded. "They won’t risk their reputations... not at their age. In fact, if they realize we’re backing Barron Anthony Hayward Chapman to become the next Prime Minister, they may even throw their support behind us."
