Chapter 424: Chapter 424 We Breached the Contract_1

Bran Cook still didn’t believe Itai Huntington had the ability to push him out!

After all, these people were all loyal to him.

Moreover, last night, Stacy Cook had already sent someone to investigate, and in the whole of Gonzalez City, aside from Julius Reed and Quella Radcliffe, no one else had the intention of running for the chairman position.

Everyone supported Bran Cook.

After all, he was the first person to propose this idea.

And with a profound background in the capital, he had a broad network of connections.

Having connections meant being able to get access to money and attract investments at any time.

As for Itai Huntington, she was too mysterious!

People only knew to fear her but didn’t understand this woman very much.

The more important reason was that Bran Cook had already promised these people many benefits once he was successfully elected as chairman.

At the same time, he would add the past wrongdoings of himself and the Cook Family’s enterprises to the blacklist, just waiting to settle the scores after he took the chairman position.

These benefits would ultimately be distributed to the people below, so their support for him was only natural.

“Itai Huntington…”

“I also choose Itai Huntington…”

“I agree for Miss Itai Huntington to become the chairman of the business alliance…”

However, to Bran Cook’s surprise, those who had already agreed to support him turned traitor!

All voted for Itai Huntington.

Those people lowered their heads, not daring to meet Bran Cook’s gaze.

Their thinking was simple, offending the three big shots, they would have a hard time in the future.

But if they offended Bran Cook, as long as he didn’t get the chairman position, what did they have to fear from him?

After the first few people set an example, those who followed naturally supported Itai Huntington without any suspense.

What was supposed to be a one-sided election, in the end, turned out to be one-sided.

But it was all tilted towards Itai Huntington.

“I support Bran Cook!”

Not knowing how much time had passed, just when Bran Cook felt hopeless and full of resentment, suddenly someone supported him!

He was overjoyed, what he needed right now were people who dared to challenge authority!

As long as this person set an example, it would be much better for those who followed.

But when he saw who it was that spoke, rage made his teeth itch!

The one supporting him was none other than Julius Reed!

“Thank you…”

Bran Cook said these words almost through clenched teeth.

If he truly couldn’t compete with Itai Huntington, Bran Cook decided to ally with her to bring down the Radcliffe Group first!

After all, such a big business alliance wasn’t going to have just one chairman; there would be manager positions.

He was fairly acquainted with Itai Huntington, and the fact that Julius Reed had refused Itai Huntington at the wine party before made him feel like they could work together.

If they were to cooperate, he would have to show sincerity.

Seeing the election was hopeless, Bran Cook simply did what would be considered a favor for the flow, and said to the audience below, “Since most people here agree with Sister Huntington, let’s not vote anymore. I will drop out voluntarily!”

After speaking, he took the lead in clapping, “Congratulations to Miss Itai Huntington, for becoming the first chairman of the business alliance!”

When he finished saying this, everyone’s face, including Itai Huntington, changed!

What does ‘the first term’ mean?

Bran Cook had clearly left himself a way out.

It seemed he still wasn’t convinced!

Itai Huntington scoffed.

He still tried to deceive her with such petty tricks, even if the election continued, the result would be the same, unchangeable.

Gonzalez City was divided between two opposing forces, both white and black, backing her. What did Bran Cook have to play to turn the tables?

And the reason why she had secured the support of these people was all because Julius Reed had paid a visit yesterday night to negotiate this matter with Itai Huntington.

Quella Radcliffe was still young, politically immature. If she rashly managed such a massive entity, she’d likely be in over her head.

Not only would the alliance fail, but Quella Radcliffe would also lose her best opportunity.

This would cause her great psychological trauma.

So after much deliberation, Julius Reed approached Itai Huntington as a business partner, and the condition was to support Quella Radcliffe as the general manager of the business alliance,

Initially, Itai Huntington was skeptical of Julius Reed, but such a good opportunity presented before her, she’d compete for it even knowing it was false!

It wasn’t until she took the stage today, and Aron Jackson expressed his support for her that Itai Huntington realized Julius Reed wasn’t lying.

Now, she was even more intrigued by this young man!

What kind of background did a person who could persuade both Aron Jackson and Ovidiu Cook have?

However, it seemed Julius Reed bore her no ill will, so she eased her mind.

“Thank you all for your support!”

Itai Huntington walked to the microphone and bowed lightly to the audience: “I will definitely work hard on this matter and lead Gonzalez City forward.”

Again, applause like thunder erupted from below.

“I propose that the chairperson of Radcliffe Group, Quella Radcliffe, take the position of general manager of the business alliance,” she suddenly said.

This caught everyone off guard, especially Bran Cook, whose face turned dark with anger.

He had thought that if he couldn’t be chairperson, becoming a general manager would still be good.

But now, with Itai Huntington showing no signs of gratitude to him and instead suggesting Quella Radcliffe for the position, wasn’t this a slap in Bran Cook’s face?

“Why Quella Radcliffe? What in the world is this all about!”

“Could it be that Itai Huntington really got together with Quella Radcliffe’s boyfriend, and now they are sisters?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! She’s the chairperson now!”

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, yet nobody dared to speak up.

Bran Cook knew that if he didn’t speak now, he might lose the chance.

He stepped forward, looking at Itai Huntington: “Sister Huntington, you becoming the chairperson is the will of the people, which I fully respect and accept! But to let the chairperson of a company on the verge of bankruptcy become the head of the alliance, isn’t that obviously a trap for everyone?”

His opening remark about Quella Radcliffe’s company bankruptcy immediately plunged everyone into fear.

Joining the alliance, everyone wanted to make money, not to lose it.

If they wanted to lose money, why not do it alone? Why join the crowd?

If the alliance were to be managed like Radcliffe Group, they would suffer huge losses.

“Exactly! How is Quella Radcliffe, the chairperson of a bankrupt company, qualified to be a general manager?”

“I disagree too! Such a position should go to Bran Cook!”

“Absolutely, Quella Radcliffe doesn’t deserve it!”

The audience started to heckle from below.

This gave Bran Cook a glimmer of hope.

He raised his voice: “Those who support me, please stand up! Those who support Quella Radcliffe, sit down! Let’s all see who can truly command the respect of the people!”

Whoosh!

In an instant, more than ninety-five percent of the people stood up from their chairs.

“Do you see, Sister Huntington! Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it! You were chosen by us, don’t let us down…”

Bran Cook looked at Itai Huntington with a threatening undertone.

With such widespread support, he was sure to be the general manager today.

“If it’s not Miss Radcliffe, then we’ll withdraw our investment!”

Just then, a representative of Willson Group stood up, looking at Bran Cook: “Sue us if you will, we’re breaking the contract.”
