Allyson was momentarily stunned and in disbelief. "Do you mean to say you want me to be the governor?" she asked, pointing at herself.
Matthew gave a slight nod. She was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. With her father being the former governor, that alone made her the right person for the role. Her father—the previous governor—had arrived on the island in his youth, developing and restoring it from a barren wasteland into a thriving community. Over time, as more settlers arrived, he was naturally chosen to lead as governor.
She hesitated briefly, doubting her ability to handle the role. Finally, she asked Matthew, "Mr. Larden, could you explain your decision in appointing me to this position?"
"Isn't this what you've always dreamed of? Or do you not wish to take on this role?"
"No, I want it!" she responded firmly, her eyes burning with strong determination.
Her father had always managed the island, leading her to believe she could lead the island just as effectively as he had. That way, she could continue his legacy.
"Very well, then," he responded softly. "Leave the rest to me, Miss Ashcroft."
Stepping out of the room, he came across Mack, who had spotted him exiting from a distance and waving him over. "Matteo, over here for a second!"
Approaching Mack, Matthew asked, "What's the matter, Mack?"
"What should we do with all of them?" Mack sought clarification, gesturing toward the Emberhold Syndicate members squatting nearby.
Matthew looked at the dense crowd crouching on the ground. "From now on, lock them all up. We have no use for them now," he replied after a moment's worth of contemplation. "Otherwise, if they rebel, we will suffer significant losses."
"Where are we supposed to keep so many of them?" Mack frowned, troubled.
