At this moment, time seemed to have frozen, and the surrounding became incomparably silent. No one was talking, and everyone was holding their breath waiting for the host to read out the "lucky winner".
Of course, everyone's eyes were also on the lucky winner.
But five seconds, ten seconds passed, the host still did not read out the name.
The host looked at the name on the paper in amazement. This was indeed too incredible.
He knew that this was an investment conference for the Turner family, but he didn't know why the Turner family's name was not on the paper.
"What's going on here? Why did he stop reading?"
"Could it be that the microphone is broken?"
Some people who were impatient began to speak. Following the increasing number of people asking questions, the venue instantly became chaotic.
In order to relieve the embarrassment, the host could only say, "Today, Mr. Fraser's partner is the head of the number one family in K City, Louie Turner. Let's welcome Mr. Turner."
He didn't know which part had gone wrong. But he could never go wrong by saying that.
As soon as he finished his words, congratulatory applause rang out from the scene.
Louie also stood up and gave a victorious smile.
"Let's go, Andrew." Although she had long known this was the end, before the name was announced, Emily had to admit that she still held out hope that a miracle would come to her.
Now, she was utterly desperate.
How could such a good thing fall into her lap? It was already a miracle in itself that she got in.
Andrew, however, took her by the arm and said calmly, "No hurry, just wait and see. Maybe a miracle will happen."
Emily frowned and said, "Don't worry., I'll go talk to Grandpa. If he doesn't agree, we'll go out and live on our own. I promised my dad I wouldn't abandon you."
Andrew's heart shook. These were the warmest words he had ever heard in his life.
Just by Emily's words, Andrew was willing to give her the world!
At this moment, Louie had already bowed, stood up, and was ready to speak.
"Wait!" A deep, booming, masculine voice sounded. It was Ray.
Louie hurriedly said, "Mr. Fraser, thank you for your trust. You can rest assured that the Turner family will do their best to cooperate with you. In K City, as long as it is what you want, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
But Rose helped Ray up. He looked at the host on stage with an unhappy face and asked, "Did you make a mistake? What I value most in my life is reputation, and I cannot tolerate any falsification. I will give you one more chance. Is it really the Turner family that was written on the note that was drawn?"
Ray's sudden question was unbelievable to the audience and even to those on stage. What was Ray up to? Wasn't the note drawn by the Turner family already decided before?
Faced with Ray's stern questioning, the host's sweat soaked through his clothes, and his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
He stammered, "Mr. Fraser, I, don't quite understand what you mean?"
"Are you sure you don't understand?" Ray's voice seemed even angrier.
The host couldn't afford to mess with the Turner family, but he didn't dare to mess with Ray.
So he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I just read it wrong. I didn't draw the Turner family."
"Not the Turner family? What? What the hell?”
"Yes, how can it not be the Turner family?"
The host said with a red face, "Actually, the person who is working with Mr. Ray is Miss Clark of the D.K. Group."
Silence, the scene was silent, and everyone suspected that they heard wrong.
Including Emily, she also doubted her own ears. Only Andrew, he already knew the end.
After the silence, there was a clamor. Those in the room might not know who Emily was.
