Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043 Supreme Favor (4)
Gan Yuan smiled as she looked at Wilson, who had a slightly pale face.
"Senator, this is my answer!"
These words were simple and direct.
Wasn’t the other party implying that she had risen to power through her status and men? Well then, she would prove to everyone that even if she ran for election, Gan Yuan could ascend once again.
No matter how experienced Wilson was or how sharp-tongued, he was rendered speechless by Gan Yuan.
The other senators appeared somewhat shocked, especially the unaffiliated female senator, whose expression showed increased admiration when she looked at Gan Yuan.
As a woman, this female senator deeply understood how difficult it was for women to achieve anything in this patriarchal society.
She had the status of a Princess, yet she willingly participated in the election, competing with other candidates for the presidency...
This not only demonstrated her confidence but also her inherent pride, and it showcased her determined confidence in winning for her country.
For a while, the entire conference room was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a fish tail skimming across the glass surface in the decorative fish tank on the wall.
Moments later, the senator from another party sitting next to Wilson slowly raised his hand.
"I support the Princess’s decision."
Support increased from four to five. Out of the eight-member senator group, Gan Yuan had already won.
Across the room, the elderly senator Wilson felt slightly dizzy, stabilizing himself by holding the table to maintain his balance and avoid embarrassingly falling back into his chair.
Gan Yuan glanced around, seeing the two Conservative Party senators sitting beside Wilson discreetly eyeing him. One hesitated for a while but ultimately bit the bullet and raised his hand.
At this point, whether they raised their hands or not was irrelevant; Gan Yuan had already won.
However, this gesture conveyed a message.
Clearly, Wilson had lost power. At this moment, if they didn’t show their support for Gan Yuan, she would undoubtedly see them as political enemies.
Besides, there was another reason—the young senator genuinely agreed with Gan Yuan’s decision but had been too pressured by Wilson to express it previously.
In the end, he raised his hand, not just for Gan Yuan, but because he loved his country.
Six votes now!
Only Wilson and the senator on his right remained, and after some thought, the latter also raised his hand.
Wilson noticed his movement, feeling as if he had been lashed. This senator was nurtured by him and always considered close, yet even he had betrayed him?
This veteran politician, who had spent over fifty years in the political arena, couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic at this moment.
Across the room, Gan Yuan slightly lifted the corners of her lips.
"Thank you all for your support. Now, this resolution... passed!" She raised her left hand, "Helen, immediately contact the Duke for lunch at the Royal Palace. Several senators are welcome to attend. After lunch, we will discuss the details of cooperation with the Duke and hear his views on this event."
She propped herself up, looking across the table at Wilson.
"Senator Wilson, I must say, there is something I find a bit unfortunate."
