Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Chapter 290

Besides the live shareholders who came in Just now, the board members of Evans Group also entered the room one after another

Caroline glanced around and realized that she recognized all of them. They were all members of the Evans farnily.

To put it simply, Evans Group didn’t have a group of external shareholders. It could be seen as the Evans family’s very own company

Everything operated on nepotism, and this was why Sarah and Dan had been bold enough to do whatever they pleased and hadn’t been afraid of being discovered.

Glancing around, Caroline took a deep breath. The conference room was as noisy as it could gel, although the election hadn’t started

Everyone talked about her and Layla, and she found it hard to ignore the chatter since the room wasn’t that big either.

“Why is Caroline here? Isn’t she afraid of humiliating herself?” Someone chimed in.

Another person snorted derisively and said, “She thinks she will get to inherit the position from her father. If Evans Group falls into her hands, we’ll all be doomed.”

“I’ve said this once before, but I’ll say it again. There are so many young people in the Evans family, but Layla seems to be the best among them all.” 1

“That’s right! Eddy Morrison loves her too, so she’ll surely be the beacon of hope for the company if she gets elected.”

Caroline listened to them in silence with an expressionless lace.

Layla, however, smirked as she stared at Caroline.

“Caroline, you’re wasting our time by joining the election this time. But I admire you for your courage,” said Layla as she leisurely took a

sip of water.

“You knew you were going to become the laughingstock here, yet you still had the courage to show yourself. You deserve my respect.”

As she spoke, she raised her disposable cup in the air as if to give a toast.

Caroline had her eyes closed before this, and now she lazily opened them to peek at Layla and said. “Thanks, but you’re not worthy enough to be my opponent.”

This made the corners of Layla’s mouth twitch in annoyance. Just then, her phone’s screen lit up, and she glanced at it only to smile even

more brightly at Caroline. “Eddy’s here. I’m going to get him.”

The people around them couldn’t help but become envious of her. Her words also strengthened their belief that she would become the

new CEO.

As they carried on with their chattering, Caroline swept her gaze across the room and saw Liam.

“Mr. Mackey, it surprises me that you would lie to me,” she said.

“Beasts fight for food, while humans yearn for wealth. I simply thought that Layla was a better candidate for the position compared to you.

“Liam smiled, his tone dripping with arrogance.

The two people sitting beside Caroline heard this, and they turned to look at her, obviously troubled. One of them lowered his voice and said, “Ms. Evans, is he really going to have Layla’s back?” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Caroline was about to answer him when a ruckus erupted at the door, and someone exclaimed, “It’s Mr. Eddy!”

She looked in the direction of the crowd to see Layla holding Eddy’s hand and leading him into the conference room.

The look on his face was Indecipherable, so she couldn’t tell if he was glad or mad to be there. However, he stiffened for a brief moment

when he saw Caroline.

“Didn’t you say that it’s just a formality for me to come here?” Eddy asked Layla. He didn’t want to embarrass her in front of so many

people, so he lowered his voice when he spoke to her.

“Why is Caroline here?”
