My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 946

Finally, the bar chart changed on the screen.

The votes for Ernest increased to 1305, the same as that for Theodore.

Seeing this result clearly, the whole crowd turned completely silent.

Most people felt unexpected, shocked or disappointed.

None of them could believe that Keenan would vote for Ernest under such great pressure. Didn't this mean that he stood against the family leader?

How dared he? Did he want to die?

Theodore put on the gloomiest scowl on his face, and hostility was shot from his eyes to every corner of the meeting hall, nearly freezing the whole atmosphere.

Feeling this pressure, everyone became stiff and did not dare to utter a single sound.

Their family leader was indeed angry now.

As the main character who had triggered this storm, Keenan turned pale and even shivered slightly.

He looked at Theodore with tremendous fear in his eyes and nervously defended himself,

“Theodore, I am sorry. You know that I am the peace kind, and I really don’t want a war between the two families. Well, the war would definitely cause a lot of deaths…”

He was interrupted by Theodore’s cold eyes which were about to cut him off.

He was pale, stiff and afraid.

This was an absolute offense to the leader and he knew that his wonderful life would be over.

Finley stood up delightedly and said,

“Good job, Keenan! Once we open our vault and fully leverage our treasures, we could become stronger and top the world in a few years. But if we stir up a war with the Fraser family now, we would only lose countless people and money. This lose-at-both-sides result would even turn our family’s clock back decades. Therefore, it is best not to fight and we could be the strongest family in the world within three years if we make good use of our treasures.”

This statement was very provocative, and it brightened the eyes of the people on the spot and threw them into a promising expectation towards the future.

Although the Turner family was already a major family now and they, as small leaders, could make some commands, they still wanted to obtain higher positions.

So, if the Turner family could be the strongest family in the world, no matter where they would be in the future, they could get higher social status and do whatever they want.

The Third Elder also looked extremely angry. He glared at Finley, wishing to tear his tongue.

There could be no peace!

They had plotted against Stanford Fraser before and he would definitely lead the Fraser family to attack them after he went back. The war was inevitable.

Yet, now this matter could never be told or he himself would be regarded as the one who provoked this fight.

By far, he could neither control the open meeting nor stop the future attack from the Fraser family.

The Third Elder was now at his wit’s end and felt like a helpless lamb on the grill.

He moved close to Theodore and asked in a low voice,

“What should we do now?”

It was a tie. The last ten votes came from Keenan with greater authority, which meant that they had no reason to attack the Fraser family.

Theodore glared coldly at Keenan with a strong intention to kill him.

Well, even he himself didn’t foresee that Keenan would set him up.

This Keenan Turner had been a hermit for so many years, and yet he was not as innocent and indifferent as he was ostensibly.

That Keenan would openly stand against him only for peace would be the last thing that Theodore would believe.

The smile on Finley’s face remained. He was very content. At first, he was quite worried about whether he could choose the right side; now the result showed that he made the right choice. Ernest did have his ways to win even in such an adverse situation.
