Anything For Her

Electing A Leader

“She won’t have any interest in a man like me. I heard that she likes handsome men. As long it’s a man with good

looks, she’ll seize and imprison him.”

Nonetheless, all those were mere rumors Bertram heard.

While talking, they arrived at Lily’s place. The woman specially built a mansion in Fandar, making it clear that she

wanted to put down roots there.

By the time they made it, several big shots were already there. However, an invitation was required to gain entry.

“I only have a single invitation, Mr. Tristan. Thus, you and Ms. Tanner might not necessarily be able to gain

admittance. Seeing a crowd at the gates, Bertram was inevitably worried.

“What’s there to worry about? It’s just invitations, no? I’ve got some here. Sophie held two invitations in hand.

“Are they the real thing?” Bertram took the invitations from her. Could they be fake?

“They’re real if I say so. Come, let’s go in! I want to have a look at Lily Sanders!”

Sophie had never heard of that name, and it was her first time learning it that day.

The big shots in Fandar only recognized Bertram since the man had been the one to manage everything there.

Conversely, Tristan had only arrived a few days ago. For that reason, they all came over and greeted Bertram one

by one.

Bertram initially wanted to introduce Tristan and Sophie, but Tristan declined.

“There’s no need to introduce us. Just let them assume that you’re the boss.” Tristan did not want to yak with the

people there.

In response, Bertram nodded.

“All right, then.” As he exchanged pleasantries with the crowd, a few young ladies in traditional clothes led them in.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, many people were already there, and the young ladies swiftly led them to

their seats.

Tristan and Sophie remained seated, observing everyone there. Bertram, on the other hand, went off to greet other

big shots.

It went without saying that the man was great at socializing. As such, he had no problems getting along with

everyone there.

“What if Lily really takes a fancy to you later?” Sophie asked in a whisper.

This woman’s financial capabilities are astounding that she could build such a mansion in Fandar. What’s more, no

one dares to have designs on this place!

“Why would I fear her when I’ve got you to protect me by my side? Would you hand me to someone else?” Tristan

questioned solemnly.

“That’s hard to say. If she’s really as vicious as rumored. I’d have no choice but to sacrifice you.”

Tristan grasped her hand.

“How heartless of you! You’re not even worried about hurting me to say such a thing.” She’s the only person I love.

“I was just joking. Don’t worry! No matter her capabilities, I’d never hand you over to her. You’re mine and belong

to me alone.” Are you satisfied with this answer?

“This is more like it.” Tristan was finally appeased. She should’ve said this in the first place!

Sophie’s looks were inherently striking. Following her appearance, several big shots had their eyes riveted on her.

Aware that she came with Bertram, some started feeling the man out.

“The lady who came with you is truly a devastating beauty, Mr. Asher! I wonder if we stand a chance to make her

acquaintance?”

“Indeed! I’ve never seen such a beautiful Chanacan woman. I really like her. If there’s a chance-”

Unadulterated fear struck Bertram. Good Lord! These people are downright daring! Mr. Tristan can’t be allowed to

hear this. Otherwise, things will end up a mess at that time!

“She’s off limits to the lot of you! She already has a fiancé, and he’s right beside her!”

“That isn’t a problem since they aren’t married yet. Before they’re married, we can all compete fairly!”

“You’d best forget it. The man beside her isn’t someone you can afford to offend.”

Displeasure suffused Bertram.

Ms. Tanner is Mr. Tristan’s fiancee, the lady boss we all acknowledge. Yet, these people dare set their sights on her.

They must be sick of living!

“Oh, I see.”

Still, the man was reluctant to give up since a stunning beauty like Sophie was incredibly tempting.

After making a full circle, Bertram returned to his seat. Naturally, Tristan could sense the gazes directed their way.

They were all trained on Sophie.

Shifting slightly, he blocked their view of her, loathed to have her exposed to their gazes.

On the contrary, Sophie was exceedingly calm and unruffled. She had long since gotten accustomed to such stares,

so they did not matter to her then.

Just then, Lily appeared in traditional clothes. Behind her were a dozen of similarly-dressed young ladies, all

exquisite beauties.

Lily herself was a burly middle-aged woman. Despite the traditional clothes on her, they could not conceal the

muscles she sported.

The instant she appeared, the entire banquet hall plunged into silence. She strolled over to her seat and sat down.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I invited all of you here today to discuss the matter of the new order in Fandar in the

future. I know you’re all big shots in the country, and none are willing to defer. But no matter what, it won’t do us

any good if we continue having such dissension. Therefore, I propose that we elect a leader.”

The meaning of her words was as clear as day-she wanted to be that leader. Otherwise, she would not have invited

all these people there.

“She wants to be the leader herself!” Bertram surmised coldly. Well, well, well.. she has quite the lofty ambition.

“What do you all think?” After saying that, Lily swept her gaze around.

“Since we’re electing a leader to preside over Fandar, Lily, I don’t think it should be done in such a casual manner.

To be the leader, one must be notably outstanding in all aspects.”

Considering the fact that they abhorred deferring to anyone, they would never accept having her walk all over

them.

“Exactly! We can decide on the leader by competing among ourselves!”

“Yes, I agree! The leader has to have everyone’s acceptance. Then, others would obey him when he speaks in the

future.”

Lily’s expression went as black as thunder. Argh! These people are actually questioning me!

“Sure! What kind of competition would you all like to have?” Her eyes brimmed with viciousness. Needless to say,

she was something else, judging from the fact that she could attain such a position at present despite being a

woman.

“That would require us to gather together and have a discussion. Otherwise, it’d be unfair to us all, no?”

Everyone had something they were good at, and vice versa. For the sake of fairness, things had to be planned

carefully.

“Okay. No matter what the competition turns out to be, I’ll be taking part in it,” Lily declared frostily. I’ll definitely be

the leader in Fandar!

Sophie studied the woman. Right then, the dozen young girls beside the latter dispersed and approached the

various big shots to “serve” them.
