Bogus Billionaire by Shining Riviera

Chapter 302

*I’ve told you. Caroline’s joining the election this time just to give us something to laugh at. Even if she has two shareholders backing her up, it’s still useless. It’s obvious who we should be siding with just by looking around.”

“Yeah. Caroline’s idiocy is hilarious. She actually thought that someone would take her side. The shareholders aren’t fools. They’ll surely

Support Layla now.”

“Layla has Eddy’s support. Who does Caroline have to back her up? Her good–for–nothing husband?”

Eddy was speechless when he heard them gossiping. At least these people had the common sense to lower their voices and control

themselves a bit since he was present.

Caroline didn’t hear what they said, though. She was still busy looking through the documents and jotting down something when the room turned silent. It was as though she were an outsider, not one of the contestants.

The two shareholders seated beside Caroline were Gavin and George Harper. They were cousins and were here because Morrison Corp

had invested in Evans Group.

Still, they were different than Luke and Tom because they had sacrificed a lot when they stepped into the field of investment.

The Harper cousins‘ respective families had almost cut ties with each other due to the losses faced by Evans Group.

Eventually, they lived up to their families‘ expectations, investing in stocks and finally managing to provide their families with a better life.

Even though they were considered wealthy now, the cousins couldn’t forget the hardships their families had gone through in the past.

Gavin glanced at Caroline, stood up, and made his decision. “My vote is for Caroline,” he announced and sat back down.

A wave of laughter erupted from the crowd. George had wanted to take Layla’s side, but since Gavin chose Caroline, he followed suit. Rising from his seat, he said. “I vote for Caroline too.”

The laughter from the people around them became louder, and the gossiping became ever more prominent.

Then, Caroline raised her head to look at Liam and said, “Mr. Mackey, four shareholders have cast their votes. It’s your turn now.”

The senior executives couldn’t contain their laughter anymore after hearing what she said. “Haha! Is Caroline a clown? This is the funniest joke I’ve heard all year!”

Caroline turned in the direction of the voice to find out that it was Emery’s mother who spoke. As the saying goes, “The apple doesn’t fall

far from the tree“.

Caroline tossed the woman a smile, making her freeze for a moment and forget what she was about to say. Now that she wasn’t blabbering, the entire room became way more quiet.

Just then, Liam spoke. “It seems to me that my vote will decide the outcome of this election.”

Layla smiled. “Mr. Mackey, don’t beat around the bush. Just tell us who you’re voting for, alright?”

“Alright. Layla asked me for my opinion. Naturally, my vote goes to…” His voice trailed off, and his gaze shifted between Caroline and Layla as if he were hesitant.
