237 A Damned Half-elf

The other board members looked toward Scheer with surprise.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce was elected for a period of five years. The four founder families had the right to run for president, and only the members of the chamber got to vote.

The four heads of the founder families had all been the president before, but after the elders of the Dodge and Marquis Family died, the two families had declined. Even Ian Buffet had declared that he would no longer run for president 15 years ago.

Many members might have forgotten the fact that the president was elected for a term of five years if not for Scheer. Jeffree had presided over the chamber for over 20 years; it seemed his name had already become a synonym for the president.

No one dared to challenge his authority. Until now.

The other board members, who knew Scheer to be a strong woman, were wondering who would win in the end—the ambitious foxy lady or the sly old fox.
