Supreme Mars novel Chapter 294
The air in the office fell into dead silence as soon as Reggie announced the result. Only the strong voice of his echoed again and again.
“No! How could it be…” Lane murmured with disbelief.
The smile froze on his face.
Both Alan and Justin were also being too stunned to utter.
To everyone’s surprise, the final winner turned out to be Leo instead of Lane.
Lane hurried over to Reggie’s front as soon as he collected himself. He grabbed his hand hard, “Reggie, you must be mistaken, right? I have got all votes from the board of shareholders! It should be I who won this bet! How could it be him?”
His voice was mixed with agitation and a bit of anger. Obviously, he was trying hard to hold back his anger to stay calm while speaking to Reggie. If the notary weren’t Reggie but someone else, he would have unleashed his madness.
Reggie cast him a simple glimpse and said, “I am not mistaken. It’s Leo Cohen who won this time.”
“Impossible! You must be biased toward him!”
What Reggie said sounded like a catalyst to his anger. Lane shouted loud, “I have been taking the upper hand during the whole process even till the final moment! And I have got all votes! But you announced him to be the winner? Are you gonna deny that as being biased?”
“Shut up!”
Reggie huffed coldly with his eyes showing august look, “I, Reggie, have been honest and upright! I permit no bias mixing with my decision!”
“But how…” Lane gritted while hearing that, looking agitated.
“I have warned you before. Never underestimate your rival. It was you who turned a deaf ear to my words.”
Reggie cast him a glimpse of indifference, “You did do a good job at the beginning. But you slackened your alert at the very last moment. That’s why Leo grabbed the chance.”
“Grab the chance…” hearing that, Lane seemed to be frozen. He suddenly turned around to look at Leo, looking confused. And so did both Justin and Alan, “Mr. Cohen, what did you do? Please tell me what’s going on?”
They could never figure out what was happening.
At this moment, Leo happened to finish his tea. He slowly stood up, “Alright, let me explain the whole thing.”
He smiled and walked over to Lane. When facing his teasing look, Lane couldn’t help flinching a bit, “What are you doing?”
Leo didn’t respond. Instead, he squinted at him,” Do you still believe that the board of shareholders of J Group actually consists of a number of twelve?”
“What do you mean?” Lane stared at him confusedly with a subtle change of expression.
Suddenly, the door was opened. The middle-aged man entered again.
He then handed over all votes to Leo. After that, he stood behind him, wordless.
Without taking a look, Leo put all votes onto the desk. Then he looked at Reggie, “That’s it, right?”
Reggie only responded with a nod. Then he stared at Leo meaningfully, only to find that this young man looked too imperceptible to be seen through.
“You…but he…”
The ‘twelfth’ shareholder actually handed over all the votes to Leo, which Lane had been struggling to get during the twelve days. With his eyes wide open, Lane was choked with disbelief.
However, when he started to take what Leo had said into consideration, he finally realized what was going on, “This guy is not one of those shareholders?”
“Finally.” Leo smiled wryly. Then he added, “That’s right. The number of all shareholders is actually eleven.”
Hearing that, Lane was rendered ghastly pale. His face couldn’t help twitching.
