Chapter 1879 Davin Asking For Votes
âI-Iâm not swayed by the temptations. I only think that we should consider this choice from a wider perspective. Uncle Davin isnât thinking about us, but Aunt Sheila is. I donât think itâs the wrong choice to support her.â Nina awkwardly tried to defend herself.
Maya stared at her sister in disbelief. She felt that if Nina changed her attitude so quickly after the call, it had to mean that their aunt had offered her sister a great deal.
Just as she was about to ask what it was, her phone rang again. It was from Davin. Ugh⦠Is Uncle Davin trying to canvass votes too?
She accepted the call. âIs there a reason youâre calling me, Uncle Davin?â
Davin chuckled. âWell, I just want to have a chat with you, Maya.â
âAbout what?â
âHow do you think Iâve been treating you for the past few years?â
She answered without hesitation, âPretty good!â
âIf you think Iâve been treating you pretty well, then perhaps youâre willing to help me out a littleââ
âJust get to the point, Uncle Davin. No need to beat around the bush. I should remind you that someoneâs vote has already been bought out. If you want to get my vote, then you have to make sure itâs worth my time. Donât try to cheap out on your bribe, or else, I wonât vote for you that easily.â
Davin was stunned when he heard that. He immediately thought about how even though Sheila promised not to cheat, she had already won one vote with her bribe. Sheepâs quick! No, I canât let her win this easily!
He chuckled again. âThen Iâll get straight to the point. What will it take for you to cast your precious vote for me? As long as itâs within my power, Iâll fulfill any wish you have. No need to hold back.â
Maya smirked. Uncle Davin sure is straightforward!
She excitedly took her phone upstairs to talk about her condition.
The negotiations lasted for more than a dozen minutes before she ended the call happily.
While she still didnât know what her aunt promised Nina, she was pretty satisfied with the benefits her uncle promised to give her. Therefore, she decided to vote for him.
Davin proceeded to call Nina and immediately asked her what she wanted.
She respectfully declined, âI donât want anything from you, Uncle Davin.â
âListen to me, Nina. Building an underground palace is my dream. You have to help me out. I promise Iâll give you anything you want.â
âThatâs no good, Uncle Davin. The voting must be fair. I want to make my own decision based on my own judgment.â
He couldnât help but wonder what kind of benefits his wife promised her, seeing how she was so resistant to his offer.
âHow about this, Ninaââ
She cut him off ruthlessly before he could continue to entice her. âIâll forfeit my vote if you keep doing this, Uncle Davin. Do you really want that?â
Davin was stunned. It seems like thereâs no hope of getting her vote. âThereâs no need for that. I wonât force you any further.â
âThank you, Uncle Davin.â
He let out a sigh once the call ended. Mayaâs voting for me while Ninaâs voting for Sheep. Weâre tied right now. Next up are Kyle and Juan. I wonder how I should convince them to vote for me.
After some planning, he gave the two of them a call.
Juan was as slippery as an eel. He only gave vague answers and showed no hint as to who he was voting for or if he was going to vote at all. In the end, he gave a lame excuse and hung up the call.
Davin still had no idea if Juan was going to support him, but he still hoped that he would.
As for Kyle, he was being as fair as he could. âIâll think about who I should vote for carefully. No need to worry about me, Uncle Davin.â
âYou should consider supporting me, Kyle. What will it take for you to vote for me? Just let me know, and Iâll do my best to fulfill your wish.â
