The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 165

Susan said calmly, "Firstly, Julian is Julian, and I am me. Believe it or not, Julian never gave me any assistance during this competition. Secondly, no one can reserve the champion's seat. The final result can only be determined by our performance tonight."

"How righteous," Andrew laughed sarcastically.

"It's okay, Andrew. You're the top contender now anyway. Anyone with a decent level of intelligence would be able to tell who's truly the best. If Susan doesn’t cheat, you will rank first for sure."

Andrew glanced at Susan and said, "Well then. Let's hope that this match will be fair to all of us."

His glance said otherwise, and Susan could not help but feel infuriated.

What was he trying to imply?

If he did not rank first, then was she cheating?

"Susie, just ignore them. Come and rest, the match is about to start," Chance said.

Susan nodded and stopped responding to them. She left to sit with Chance.

Although she picked a hidden spot, she could still feel people looking at her.

The feeling of being targeted by everyone was terrible.

But Susan understood how they felt. The competition was gaining a lot of popularity, especially now that Jojen was invited. If anyone could win the champion's seat, they would definitely get a head start on their career path.

In addition to the hefty reward, it made it impossible t o take things lightly.

So, she clearly became everyone’s biggest enemy.

At 8 pm, the board of judges, formed by investors and professional judges, appeared on time.

Once Julian arrived, he scanned the crowd.

Only when he found Susan did a smile creep onto his face.

Then, his gaze never left Susan.

His action was so obvious and he was not even trying t o hide it. Everyone felt a little speechless.

"Great, everyone's here on time." Jojen was appointed t o announce the results. He scanned the hall and said," Overall, the result of the voting match was quite satisfactory. But, there was a little incident."

Jojen was as straightforward as always, "After a thorough check performed by the Notary Public, it was discovered that there was a small amount of votepurchasing activities that happened during this match. There were a number of people who purchased votes, but those who purchased less than a hundred thousand votes did not affect the ranking of the top ten finalists, so I won't bother announcing all the names on the list. However, there is one person who purchased more than five million votes! This act is beyond what I can tolerate. So, this person will be kicked out of the top ten finalists immediately!"

Jojen's gaze turned stern as he spoke.

Five million votes!

Everyone turned their eyes to Susan.

Some people could not even contain their joy.

Jojen’s reputation for being stern was true. Even if Susan was related to Lanyard Construction, she too could not escape the fate of getting kicked out.

"Susie, what do we do now?" Chance got nervous too.

Clearly, he also felt that it was Susan who purchased the votes.

"It's okay, my votes are all real." Susan was very calm.

Chance was surprised by how collected Susan was.

Jojen did not like cliffhangers, so he continued very quickly, "The top contender, Andrew, is being kicked out of the top ten finalists for purchasing 5.5 million votes! The ranking will shift up accordingly. Susan is now the top contender, and the eleventh-ranked contender is now tenth-ranked and will be eligible for entering the final match."

Everyone was waiting for Jojen to announce Susan's name.

No one thought it would be Andrew!
