The Tyrant Billionaire

Peter Townsend, with his mature and handsome appearance, and his refined and gentle demeanor, fit the image of a romantic hero. Thus, he became Princess Margaret's imaginary lover.

In truth, it was all because he was good looking.

'Attraction begins with appearance.'

Many boys, in their youth, have their own fantasy objects—perhaps the prettiest girl in class, or a favorite movie star.

Do girls have the same kind of fantasies?

At this moment, Margaret's feelings for Peter Townsend were merely a young girl's innocent romantic fantasy.

Margaret had never shared these thoughts with anyone, and Peter Townsend was completely unaware that the lofty princess had cast him as the hero of her dreams.

The two wouldn't have real contact until two years later, when Margaret, no longer content with mere fantasies, actively approached Townsend. Their intimate relationship developed afterward, and by 1953, their affair was exposed.

At that time, Townsend had just divorced his wife. When this news became public, it caused a huge scandal in Britain. Many claimed that Townsend had abandoned his wife in preparation for marrying the princess, leading to immense public pressure.

The controversy raged on. The royal family opposed the relationship, the public was against it, and the Prime Minister exerted pressure. Princess Margaret almost left the royal family.

In the end.

The couple broke up, and Peter Townsend quickly married a twenty year old girl who was even younger than Princess Margaret. This girl was also an heiress, possessing considerable wealth. Thus, the farce came to an end.

This affair would go down in history as one of the British royal family's biggest scandals. Some even called Margaret the 'blemish' of the British royal family.

Peter Townsend bowed courteously to the princess, his formal etiquette flawless. Once Margaret passed, he continued on his way, exuding the grace of the court.

Upon hearing footsteps, Margaret habitually turned to look at Townsend's retreating figure. In the past, she would watch for a long time, thinking that everything about Peter Townsend was so handsome, even the way he walked.

Hmph, that man named Hardy was nothing compared to Peter Townsend.

He was crude.

Vulgar.

An utterly shameless fellow.

Just as she thought this, Margaret suddenly snapped out of it, wondering why she was thinking of that scoundrel. She must really hate him.

She turned and went back to her room.

The servants assisted the princess in her bath. As they washed her, one of their hands glided over her skin, but suddenly paused when touching her buttocks.

That scoundrel.

In all her life, no one had ever dared to strike her. Yet today, that scoundrel hit her. At that moment, she had wanted to pounce on him and bite him, but his words had intimidated her. Now, thinking about it, Margaret felt humiliated.

She had lost the argument.

When someone holds a grudge, they can't let it go.

She tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep, but even in her dreams, that despicable man appeared again.

The dream seemed to continue the events of the ball.

That scoundrel, Jon Hardy, had slapped her buttocks. In her fury, Margaret pounced on him and bit him, but Hardy grabbed her hair, and the two of them rolled onto the ground.

Everyone around them was shocked, standing frozen, watching their fight. Not a single person came forward to help.

They continued rolling on the ground.

But she was no match for the man, and in the end, she was pinned beneath him. To her disbelief, the man began to spank her hard.

"Ugh!"

Margaret suddenly woke up with a start.

She realized that it had all been a dream.

But the dream had left her in a cold sweat.

Her heart pounded wildly in her chest.

Damn Jon Hardy! How could she dream of him, and worse, dream of him hitting her? She was determined to get her revenge!

Princess Margaret let out an angry roar from under her blankets.

Margaret wanted revenge, but she never got the chance because the next day, Hardy took his private plane and flew back to America.

Not only did he leave, but David Rockefeller also returned to the U.S. with him.

January 20, 1949.

Johnson was inaugurated as the new President. As one of his supporters, Hardy naturally had to attend. On Capitol Hill that day, tens of thousands of people had gathered.

Johnson took this inauguration very seriously, as it was his first. Last time, he had become President because the previous President, Roosevelt, had suddenly passed away while in office, and Johnson, as Vice President, had assumed the presidency without a formal inauguration on Capitol Hill.

So this time, Johnson was extremely excited.

After going through the formal procedures, everyone gathered on the platform, which was filled with politicians and celebrities. Hardy sat in a very prominent position.

First, the Vice President took the oath.

Johnson's Vice President was his previous campaign assistant, the Democratic leader Alben William Barkley.

Then Johnson stood on the platform, solemnly taking the oath as the 33rd President of the United States, "I solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

After the oath, Johnson delivered his presidential speech:

"Throughout the history of our nation, we have faced unique challenges. The challenges we face today are just as serious as any we have encountered before. Today marks not only the beginning of a new administration but also the dawn of a new era."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"We will continue to implement the global economic recovery plan. We are confident in the success of the European Recovery Plan, a crucial component of the world's revival."

"We will strengthen the forces of freedom loving nations to resist the threat of aggression."

ABC Television once again broadcast the inauguration live to the entire nation, while the other two networks, CBS and NBC, could only rebroadcast ABC's signal for the speech.
