Chapter 327 The Breakdown of Charles

Charles was so angry but the phone rang suddenly.

He coldly looked at the broken screen of the phone, gritted his teeth, and picked it up. He tapped the screen and the call was connected. And there was an angry rant from someone on the phone. "Charles, what the hell is going on?"

He was holding the phone so hard that his hands were trembling.

"Now Oscar's poll numbers are going up like crazy. Do you have a chance to win the election at this rate?" Someone said furiously.

"I did not know he would cause me so much trouble. I've been following our plan. At first, everything was going on well and I thought he was going to lose, but things suddenly changed. I did not expect he would become a hero!"

"You're just not good enough! Charles, you let me down again. Oscar is just a black sheep of the Wells family and we never expected anything from him, but now he's turned out to be your biggest rival and he frustrates you every time. Have you ever thought about how could it happen?"

Charles was so embarrassed at the time. He had no idea that Oscar would be a huge stumbling block to him. He gritted his teeth, managed to calm down, and asked, "Is it possible to fake the ballot?" "Are you crazy?" That man shouted, "If I can do that, what do I need you for? The votes are fair, and if they're found to be fraudulent, I'll go down with you. Are you trying to get me killed?"

"I can't think of a better way to turn things around in this situation." "What else can you do?" His words were full of contempt for him.

Charles suppressed his anger. He was plainly annoyed by Oscar. Since Oscar and Hannah were together, Oscar changed, in a good way. He would never admit that Hannah was strong enough to fight with him and he would never believe that Oscar would be better because of Hannah.

At that time, he did not get married to Hannah, it was just simply made him look bad and he did not feel the slightest pity. He just felt that Hannah was ungrateful and that he would make her sorry one day. "I've thought of a way to redeem yourself." The man suddenly spoke.

Charles clenched the mobile phone and asked eagerly, "What?"

"Drop out of the race." The man said bluntly.

Charles thought he had heard wrong. He was so shocked and angry that he didn't say anything for a while.

"To show your grace. And your loss would not cause so much damage to your image."

"No, I don't agree!" Charles resisted. There was nothing he grew up wanting to do that he couldn't make it.

Although Hannah had broken off their engagement earlier, it did not cause trouble to his career. Oscar came to work in the City Hall, and even though he dropped down the rankings, he still got in and became the most popular newcomer. After that, even though his dirty trick about framing Hannah's father failed, it did not have any impact on his career. If he quit, it would really hurt his career.

After all, being the chief executive was a great springboard for him to move on. If he failed this time, he would have to wait for years. He could not accept that Oscar was senior to him. That would be a great insult and would make his work harder.

At the thought of these, Charles strongly disagreed, "It's not the end yet. No one knows who will win. He is still far from me and I can use some extreme means, such as bribing, to get ahead of him." "Charles, I don't care about your failure. I also know it has nothing to do with you. But now your refusal makes me disappointed again. I think that maybe it was not because he was too strong, but you are stupid!"

Charles' face turned purple. He was defending himself and he was right not to accept the arrangement. If he accepted it, it would mean that he admitted to the world that he was no match for Oscar and people would know that.

"I am telling you that no matter what you do, Oscar will win the election or it would enrage the public and raise angry protests. At that time, all the tricks you did would be exposed. Do you think you can make it? In addition, Oscar has made a great achievement this time and the government will treat him as an icon and will be more favorable to him. What on earth do you think you are capable of, under such circumstances, assuming the position of a chief executive in the City Hall?"

Charles had to clench his jaw to suppress his anger.

"Charles, you have only two options now. Either agree with my arrangement, or I will stop supporting you and I mean it." The man didn't seem to want to waste any more time. Charles didn't want to agree to that. But he knew that he wasn't able to fight for it. He said through gritted teeth, "You're the boss. But I don't think we should let him win so easily!" "What are you trying to say?"

Charles told him his plan. The other side seemed stunned for a few seconds, said sneering, "Charles, although you are not that competent, you've still got a lot of ways to hurt people. I'll try to arrange it." "Thank you."

"Don't let me disappoint this time. There is a limit. Be careful."

"Yes."

Then the man hung up the phone.

Charles's face grew darker. He could imagine so many people would laugh at him and compare him to Oscar when he voluntarily dropped out of the running. And there would be so many compliments and flattery to that jerk Oscar. He gnashed his teeth with anger and kept telling himself that as the saying goes, things always get worse before they get better.

He would make them pay for this.
