The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO

"Family..."

The old lady looked at that innocent and naive smile, a wave of indescribable emotion flooding her heart.

This old lady was a lonely widow, her life wasn't financially strained due to government subsidies, but she lacked family love and support.

This earthquake left her buried under the rubble, she wasn't too badly injured, yet no one came to save her. She thought she would surely die because no one would remember this old lady buried in the rubble.

Unexpectedly, a stranger, a little girl, came and rescued her.

She even claimed to be her family.

How could she not be moved?

When the old lady realized, the little girl was already re-entering the ruins with people.

As though even the buildings that could collapse at any moment couldn't stop her.

On this day, countless people trapped under the rubble were rescued.

The rescuers left no names, only two incredibly heartwarming words, "Family!"

This earthquake caused many to lose their closest loved ones, so the word 'family' held great significance for them.

Julia continued her rescue efforts amidst the ruins, going to places others were unwilling to go, entering places others dared not venture.

In short, wherever there was danger, she went there.

Several times, aftershocks occurred, collapsing buildings nearby that nearly buried her underneath.

Domestic criticism remained widespread.

Since the live broadcast that day, there was no further information about the Little Princess.

Many believed the princess was hiding from public scrutiny, too ashamed to face the people.

Of course, these were all people sitting in front of the television.

As time progressed, the criticism intensified, with many people spontaneously forming protest groups to express their disapproval of the princess's actions.

Numerous media outlets also strongly condemned the princess.

Of course, whether these groups were truly spontaneous remains debatable.

However, it mattered not, because it had become a major trend.

The princess's reputation had fallen to rock bottom.

There were even proposals to dethrone the princess.

Julia was unaware of these developments, nor did she care. All she wanted now was to rescue more people.

The tense disaster relief efforts continued for a full week before wrapping up, during which Julia faced countless crises.

Some were natural, while others were man-made.

Nonetheless, all were passed without peril.

Of course, this owed much to Wang Dadong, Mila King Kong, and over a hundred members from Hell.

A week later, the princess returned to the palace.

"I'm sorry, sir, all our people failed..."

"It's fine; now that the princess's influence is gone, her return is timely. She can directly attend the ceremony to dethrone the princess." Sideng grinned and said.

Currently, the local government hadn't overtly expressed their stance, but undoubtedly they supported the removal of the princess.

This is the power of public opinion.

The people demanded the princess's removal, and the local government had no choice but to comply with the public sentiment.

"Go invite the princess over," Sideng said to his subordinate while gulping down the wine in his glass.

"What if the princess refuses to come?"

"She'll come even if she doesn't want to!"

Princess's Bedroom.

"Julia, are you afraid?" Wang Dadong asked Julia.

The room's LCD TV was on, broadcasting negative news about Julia.

Changing channels randomly would only bring more condemnation.

Julia shook her head gently, "Brother Dadong, I'm not afraid. I've done what I could. Even if they really want to dethrone me, I've no regrets."

"Princess, Lord Sideng asked me to invite you to the National Assembly Hall..." At that moment, someone came to report.

Julia stood up.

"Julia, do you know why your fourth uncle is asking you over?" Wang Dadong asked.

"I know," Julia replied calmly.

Sideng calling her to the National Assembly Hall now was undoubtedly to dethrone her.

Although merely her fourth uncle, Sideng managed the country's finances, making him the most hopeful contender for the throne among her uncles.

As she stepped out of the room, Julia saw her guards being controlled by her uncle's guards.

It seemed she had no choice but to go today.

Julia followed the guards, though she appeared composed, her subtly trembling petite body betrayed her fear.

She was very scared now.

After all, how could a thirteen-year-old girl not be afraid?

"Brother Dadong, if I'm dethroned and become just an ordinary girl, will you still care for me?" Julia suddenly turned back, looking at Wang Dadong emerging from the room, and asked in a slightly trembling voice.

"Of course, go on, Julia. After today, you'll be the Queen of Lesotho!" Wang Dadong said lightly with a smile to Julia.

The guard smirked disdainfully.

After today, she might not even remain a princess, let alone become a queen. What a joke indeed.

Arriving at the National Assembly Hall, the hall was already filled with the nation's upper echelon.

They looked at Julia with sympathy and helplessness.

This is the game of power—victory crowns the king while defeat ruins the fool.

However, for a thirteen-year-old girl, this burden indeed felt too heavy.

Yet, she was the princess.

And she had lost the King's protection.

Only one person rejoiced.

Julia's fourth uncle, Sideng!

For once the princess was dethroned, the throne would be his.

Reaching this point, Julia had nothing to fear, calmly settling into her seat.

As expected, Sideng enumerated all of Julia's misdeeds without exception.

"... Therefore, I propose to dethrone the princess!"

After Sideng finished, his gaze swept over the numerous upper echelon attendees in the hall, "What does everyone think?"

Under Sideng's scrutiny, many purposefully avoided his gaze.

Especially Julia's other uncles, who appeared resentful, but in the game of power, Sideng had won.

Not only had he used public opinion to trap the princess in an inescapable predicament, but he also capitalized to build his influence.

"If there's no objection, let's proceed with the vote now," Sideng said satisfactorily upon noticing no disagreement.

Soon, voting commenced.

All thirty-four upper echelon members voted in favor.

Supporting the decision to dethrone the princess.

Although beyond these thirty-four upper echelon members, the vote also included people's representatives and local governments participating via network terminals.

But everyone knew well that the votes of the people's representatives and local governments were merely for show, unable to influence any decision.

The princess's dethronement seemed inevitable.

Unless...
