He quickly put on his glasses and carefully read the article that had taken up the whole page of the newspaper.
"Commander Lennon has taken over the slum's governance? Is this a joke?"
Seeing her father's reaction, Lillian vaguely knew something was wrong.
The slum's issues had plagued Dorodo for so long that the slum on the west was Dorodo's cancer. Several previous mayors had tried addressing it but failed.
It was a good thing that Commander Lennon had now personally gotten involved in the slum's governance!
However, why did her father's expression look so ghastly?
"Dad, is there something wrong with this?"
Lillian pondered before asking tentatively.
Ronald put down the newspaper, took a long breath, and said, "Of course. Commander Lennon wants to fight poverty and make life better for the poor in the west. There's nothing wrong with that. He's a good and kind man to have such ideas. But the problem is that the slum is so complicated that I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it!"
'The slum is complicated?
'Can't handle it?'
Lillian looked increasingly puzzled.
'Is the life of the poor in the slum so difficult not only because of economic reasons but also other factors?'
Lillian immediately asked what was confusing her.
