Chapter 1427

Emily was not the only one devastated and humiliated beyond belief. Even Freya and Hannah’s faces were burning hot with embarrassment. Today, all three had been shamed in the most spectacular way possible.

At this moment, George finally spoke up, “Emily, all three of you sit down now! I gave you the opportunity, but as you can see, you couldn’t seize it!”

Emily was unwilling to accept defeat but felt completely helpless, so she could only sit there with red-rimmed eyes, silently fuming. Duncan sensed his moment had arrived and stood up leisurely, adjusting his suit collar with practiced confidence.

He laughed and said, “Mr. Keller Senior, I will certainly continue your bold and fearless leadership style in the chairman position! I also thank everyone here for your generous support!”

A series of applause erupted from below, all coming from Duncan’s supporters who were celebrating their anticipated win.

When the applause died down slightly, George chuckled softly, “Duncan, you’re being a bit too hasty there!”

Duncan was stunned. “Mr. Keller Senior, what do you mean by that?”

George replied nonchalantly, “Nothing much, I just wanted to remind you and all your supporters of something. I’m still the Chamber of Commerce chairman right now, and I haven’t used my nomination rights yet!”

Duncan’s face immediately changed color as panic set in. “But Mr. Keller Senior, didn’t you just nominate Ms. Emily?”

George waved his hand dismissively, “I never nominated that girl; she’s not that capable, and she was just playing around! Besides, everyone saw that she took it upon herself to come forward and make a fool of herself!”

Duncan’s expression instantly turned dark as storm clouds, and he spoke through gritted teeth, “Then may I ask who you’re nominating, Mr. Keller Senior?”

George smiled and slowly raised his hand, pointing toward the corner of the room. Everyone immediately looked in that direction, their faces showing expressions of confusion, anger, disbelief, or outright contempt.

“Dad, you still want Andrew to take over? If I can’t do it, he most definitely can’t! Nominating him is just tarnishing your reputation and the Keller family name!” Emily’s voice exploded with fury and disdain.

Immediately, Freya and Hannah chimed in with their own objections. If Emily had been treated like a joke, Andrew would have fared even worse.

The Chamber of Commerce members probably would not even bother to give him a proper look.

Duncan burst into laughter, “Mr. Keller Senior, you’re not seriously nominating Andrew, are you?”

George remained completely unfazed, “That’s right, it’s Andy. Do you find this funny?”

Duncan’s laughter stopped abruptly, and his face took on a theatrical expression of mock seriousness, “Not funny at all—absolutely not funny! I just find it absurd that some nobody who knows a bit of medical tricks wants to be our chairman!”

He laughed again, saying, “This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard! Let him treat patients and save lives—maybe he’s good at that. But forgive my bluntness, managing the Chamber of Commerce and leading so many elite figures within our Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce?

“This kid is too green, way too inexperienced! What does everyone else think?”

Following his lead, most people immediately began echoing his sentiments.

“That’s right, Ms. Emily at least had some qualifications to compete, but Andrew? Who does he think he is?”

“Everyone here controls real money and power; he’s just some young doctor, a complete nobody!”

“Mr. Keller Senior, your joke is really hilarious! I’m laughing so hard I’m crying!”
