The woman on the television screen looked full of energy and radiance, appearing considerably younger than her actual age.
Her experience as a university professor had given her an air not often seen in other politicians—an air of rationality.
Her clothes were not flashy, but extremely proper, making her look very "noble." Standing before the cameras, she calmly dealt with the reporters' questions, whether simple or troublesome.
In front of the television, a middle-aged man watched the woman on the screen with a thoughtful expression.
He was the professor's ex-husband, a successful businessman.
From an ordinary person's perspective, he was very successful.
He lived in a villa, drove a luxury car, and had a fashionable girl more than twenty years younger than him by his side.
He owned several factories and operated an eye-watering import-export business. If that did not count as being a successful businessman, then the word "successful" would have to be redefined in the business world.
Someone had once said that behind every glamorous person were things no one could see.
Heartache, grievances, helplessness...
There would always be some negative emotions, and this successful businessman was no exception.
When his career had just begun, he had gotten lucky and made a large sum of money. With the professor's image as a highly educated intellectual to lend him respectability, he had successfully squeezed into the upper class--
Although the university where the professor worked was not one of the Saint and Harmony Society Alliance Colleges, it was still a very famous school.
After all, there had not been many universities in the entire Federation at that time, and getting into one was no easy feat.
As one of the relatively few female university professors at the time, the professor's social circle was actually much larger than people imagined.
