    Now that Eddy’s support was quaranteed, La found herself very much at ease.


    Her smile widened, and she purposely nted a kiss on his cheek in front of all the people watching


    them. “Thank you, Eddy.”


    That said, she stared at Caroline as it she were trying to challenge her.


    However, Caroline had gotten used to La’s tricks a long time ago and was able to maintain her


    composure.


    What La did meant something to the others in the room, and their eyes locked on Eddy.


    At first, he was stunned by her kiss, butter, he felt annoyed. In fact, he was pissed at her for doing


    that.


    The strange thing was that he had never felt this way toward her. Still, he didn’t show much of it on his


    face. His brows merely knitted together.


    The other people took this as him giving her silent permission to do as she pleased. This also meant


    that he admitted to having a rtionship with her.


    Those who believed that La would win the election became even more confident about their decision


    to give her their support.


    La and Eddy then approached Caroline, who looked away from them to stare at the documents in


    her hands..


    Seeing her ignore him somehow made Eddy feel frustrated again.


    He silently swore to himself that he would give up everything and give her the CEO position at Evans


    Group if she could just smile at him


    like she used to in the past.


    He would do anything, even if her smile onlysted for a split second.


    Much to his disappointment, Caroline didn’t smile at him as she continued reading the documents with


    her head bowed. Clenching his hands, Eddy sat down on the chair that one of the employees had


    brought him.


    The two shareholders on Caroline’s side felt their hearts palpitating wildly in their chests at Eddy’s


    arrival


    Initially, they had been confident in her abilities when they saw her take out the ledger.


    Now, though, even Eddy was on La’s side.


    “Don’t fret.” Caroline’s head was still lowered when she spoke.


    “This is a meeting between the shareholders of Evans Group, not Morrison Corp. Nothing will change,


    even with Eddy here.”


    Her voice had a certain power to it, although she spoke softly. “Of course, I’ll hand the ledger over to


    you if you want to change your mind


    now.”

    The two beside her stared at each other for a moment and fell silent at her words. Just then, Eddy


    checked his watch and said, “it’s 9:00


    am already. Shouldn’t the meeting start already?”


    No one else had the guts to speak aloud until the silence in the air was punctured by Liam’s voice.


    “There are only a few of us shareholders here, so we can skip the formalities. We should just start


    voting now.”


    “Who’s going to be the first to cast their vote?” Eddy’s gaze swept over the faces of those sitting around


    the table and paused briefy when he saw Caroline. She still hadn’t met his eyes.


    The first to rise from his seat was Luke, one of those who sided with La. “I vote for La. Even


    though she’s inexperienced, herwork is vast, and I believe that Evans Group will have a brighter


    future with her leading us.”


    As soon as he finished his sentence, the room erupted with apuse.


    Next, Tom, the man beside Luke, started to speak with enthusiasm. “I agree with Luke. I’ve seen how


    she fares in management and in learning new things. She might not have much experience, but I have


    faith in her. Give her some time, and she’ll surely restore Evans


    Group to its former glory.”


    Hence came another round of apuse. There wasn’t a third person to voice his or her support for


    Lavia after quite some time.
