He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 684

Mr. Lucas, the head of the committee, practically jumped when he saw Scarlett sitting at the very end of the row. He rushed over in a panic.

"Ms. Langley, what... why are you sitting all the way over here?"

Scarlett was perfectly calm.

"It's fine. A seat is just a seat. True power doesn't come from where you sit; it comes from actual capability."

Mr. Lucas looked at her with profound respect.

"Spoken like a true winner of the Pillar of Eternity. Your perspective is truly on another level."

Scarlett glanced down at her watch.

"Mr. Lucas, let's get this started. I have other business to attend to shortly."

She was completely indifferent to the vanity of the event.

She just wanted to get the formalities out of the way so she could get back to work. She still had a mountain of proposals waiting on her desk.

Mr. Lucas nodded quickly.

"Of course, Ms. Langley. We will begin immediately."

Not daring to waste another second, he returned to his seat and officially called the election meeting to order.

The proceedings moved swiftly.

Yardley had thoroughly prepared a massive presentation for the event.

One of the agenda items required the outgoing president to deliver a summary report.

Taking the stage, he seized the opportunity to launch into the slideshow he had meticulously crafted.

He highlighted all his past contributions to the association, the current milestones of Flynn Group, and his grand vision for the future.

He sounded wildly ambitious, vowing to make Flynn Group the undisputed king of Country H's real estate market.

When a woman chose a man, she had to choose the absolute best.

That was Veronica's core belief.

In her eyes, a man like him was the ultimate prize in the business world.

He wasn't like Julian Croft—a man who looked pretty but hadn't actually achieved anything of note, skating by purely on the glory of his wealthy family.

But Yardley was different.

He had his family's backing, yes, but he was brilliant and hardworking on his own merit. He had always stood at the pinnacle of the business world, easily crushing every other executive in the room despite his young age.

Right now, the halo of success radiating from him was practically blinding.

Stars practically formed in Veronica's eyes.

However, just as she was fully intoxicating herself in his glamorous aura, she was completely blindsided by the list of candidates displayed on the massive screen!
