Bran Cook's smile froze instantly when he heard the voice, thinking he had secured his position.
He hadn't expected someone to throw a wrench into the works at the last minute!
The rich businessmen below were just about to start cursing, but when they saw who walked up to the podium, they all shut their mouths.
Because the person who stepped onto the stage was none other than Gonzalez City's own feared widow, Itai Huntington.
Seeing Itai Huntington ascend to the podium, Bran Cook forced a smile and said, "Welcome, Sister Huntington."
He cursed inwardly countless times, relieved that Quella Radcliffe hadn't caused trouble, only for Itai Huntington to stir things up.
But he did have some relationship with Itai Huntington, which was better than if Quella Radcliffe had come up.
And with the support of the locals from Gonzalez City, Bran Cook felt Itai Huntington wouldn't influence the outcome at all.
