The Richest Billionaire is My Accidental Husband - Chapter 374:

Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Damn, we’ve been tricked!_1

Well, she wasn’t worried about lacking a worry pillow as a sleep aid; she was worried about the big tumor being put in a disadvantageous position in prison.

But everyone in the house, including her sister-in-law, worked frenziedly for the final sprint of the presidential election, which didn’t seem like a joke, and it suddenly eased her mind.

The big tumor told her in the morning not to worry, that he could handle the situation. Maybe she was just being unnecessarily worried?

While eating her boxed meal, she asked the girl who asked her to revise the manuscript: “Do you know how Ye Shiting can continue to participate in the election?”

The staff member shook her head: “No idea.”

“Then why are you still working so zealously?”

The staff member replied: “If Lord Ting said he can, then we believe that he can. Lord Ting asked us not to stop our work, to make the final strike. So, we will continue. In short, we believe that Lord Ting will not easily fail.”

Fine, she will wait and see then.

The next day was the final sprint day of the presidential election, known as the golden 24 hours before the election.

Lawson Perry and the Vice President were vigorously campaigning, expressing their political views through newspapers, television, radio, internet, and live speeches to attract votes, but there was still no movement from Ye Shiting who was napping in his villa during the day.

Without seeing any of Ye’s activities or his name appearing again in the official list of presidential candidates, many netizens became anxious. They took to the streets or gathered outside government buildings to protest and even parade, causing quite a commotion.

When they heard that Vice President Pan Tenglong was canvassing votes at a campus, a crowd swarmed over to ask the Vice President when Ye Shiting would be back on the candidate list. They asked if Pan Tenglong was the one who framed Ye Shiting. The situation at the scene was almost out of control.

Lawson Perry’s street speech didn’t fare any better. Ye Shiting’s supporters were causing a ruckus.

By late evening, while giving a speech at a square, Lawson Perry had to leave the stage mid-speech and leave the noisy streets.

After getting in the car, Lawson Perry yanked at his tie.

He hadn’t expected the public sentiment to be so overwhelmingly in Ye Shiting’s favor. If Ye Shiting reappeared on the list of presidential candidates, his vote share could be feared to be 70%, if not 60%.

Sitting inside the car, pressing his brow, Lawson Perry said: “Disclose the real reason for Ye Shiting’s removal from the candidate list to the media. Let the media report it as soon as possible. It’s crazy, his disqualification from the election has nothing to do with me!”

Nanyin held out his mobile phone for Lawson Perry to see: “The Vice President suffered a similar fate. He has responded to the voters. Ye Shiting was withdrawn from the election because Xia Yanyan filled in Ye Junqing’s name on the marriage application form, but Ye Junqing refused, so Ye Shiting was deprived of his political rights forever.”

Lawson Perry felt relieved, but Nanyin showed him a video clip, saying: “After hearing this, the netizens went to confront Xia Yanyan for the truth. Xia Yanyan outright denied it, saying she hadn’t even had her birthday yet and hadn’t submitted any marriage application. The Vice President is just falsely accusing her!”

Lawson Perry fumed: “She really knows how to wash her hands off matters!”

Nanyin said: “Ye Junqing would rather go to jail than accept her at this point. How could she admit it and make a laughing stock of herself? Now, netizens firmly believe that Ye Shiting’s withdrawal was because of the gas station explosion, and they don’t believe that it was because Xia Yanyan was rejected by Ye Junqing. They feel that the Vice President is lying, resorting to all means to get rid of Ye Shiting, the strongest candidate. Public resentment is boiling over.”

Lawson Perry looked gloomy as something crossed his mind. He cursed: “Damn it, we might have been trapped!”
