"Mr. Phipps, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for us."
Peristedan's words managed to briefly dispel Mr. Phipps' anger, prompting him to turn his head and ask, "What do you mean?"
"Since David already knows about the Ingalls Shipyard issue and that Pence Goldfrey, Stuart Avery, and Defoe Ernest are the ones in contact with us, it means he must have investigated us secretly. If we can spin this to our advantage, other Congressmen will surely be dissatisfied, and then..."
Listening to Peristedan's explanation, the expression on Phipps' face gradually turned reflective.
Indeed.
David must have investigated him; how else could he know such detailed information about the Ingalls Shipyard?
And the fact that a Congressman, no less, had been investigated—if he played his cards right with this information, other Congressmen would certainly feel disgruntled,
and once these legislators became dissatisfied, wouldn't they align with him to oppose the black tax bill?
