Chapter 213: Chapter 213: First Launch Surpasses 100,000
The numbers on the digital screen suddenly doubled, leaving everyone present astonished.
Who on earth could it be? To have such a generous hand!
Megan Underwood, who was the closest to the person involved, took a moment to react.
"President Sinclair is very generous."
"Consider it a gift for Nora’s new product launch." Jasper Sinclair’s tone was extremely indifferent, as if he were talking about something trivial.
Then, his gaze once again shifted to Nora Northwood on the stage, looking at her coolly.
In another part of the city, the Ford Family.
In the dilapidated urban village, Quentin Ford held a cheap cigarette between his lips.
At this moment, a short video app was live broadcasting VK’s launch event.
Quentin Ford inadvertently browsed through it, feeling that the person on the screen looked somewhat familiar.
With a pair of calloused hands, he swiped again, and immediately, his eyes sunk deep.
He called over the woman sitting on the sofa, "May Lawrence, come over here quickly!"
The two of them studied the live broadcast content on the screen together, and finally, in unison, they said, "It’s Nora Northwood."
Quentin Ford touched his crippled leg, hesitated for a moment, and his eyes turned fierce.
"Check where this is, let’s go find her now." With that, Quentin had already started moving.
"But... there are so many people there, can the two of us get in?"
May Lawrence was not foolish, noticing that it was not the right occasion, and her face showed a moment’s hesitation.
In the next second, Quentin forcefully nudged her shoulder.
"Fool, it’s because there are so many people that we have to go. That brat, for the sake of face, will eventually give us some money!"
"But, your leg..."
She intended to say that Quentin’s legs were inconvenient for moving, but in Quentin’s eyes, it turned into disdain and disgust.
Quentin raised his other functional leg and kicked her in the waist.
Immediately, she uncontrollably fell to the ground.
In the cramped twenty-square-meter room, even moving around was quite difficult, and May’s calf knocked against the corner of the coffee table.
She let out a muffled groan, and immediately, her heart was filled with grievance.
Quentin continued cursing, "My leg became like this, isn’t it because of the brat you bore? And you dare to despise me!"
"I didn’t mean it that way."
"Hurry up and get some money back, if the debt collectors come, neither of us will survive."
Quentin’s eyes were filled with terror and fear, much deeper than when Jasper Sinclair had confronted him last time.
He must get some money to pay off the debts, those collectors had run out of patience, and that day when he was beaten half to death felt like an abyss now.
May Lawrence knew she couldn’t say anything, so she could only do as he said.
"Bang—"
The heavy iron door closed, causing a layer of wall plaster to fall from the damp wall, accumulating a layer of dust on the floor.
Fortunately, where they lived was a distance from the city center.
By the time May Lawrence took a bus and arrived, the launch event was nearing its end.
At the entrance of VK.
Yvonne Winslow watched the flowing crowd, placing herself outside the scene.
Her personality was quiet, and she didn’t like overly lively occasions, so she found a quiet place to study the data.
Zachary Shaw once said, no data could escape her computer.
Regrettably, the person she had supported all by herself, because of Luna Mackenzie, was kicked out.
Thinking of this, Yvonne Winslow searched for the current state of The Shaw Corporation again.
Having a brief look, she could only describe it in four words: a complete mess.
She pondered: Zachary Shaw being able to manage The Shaw Corporation to such an extent in such a short time surely had Megan Underwood’s instigation.
Time gradually slipped away, and there was half an hour left until the end of the launch event.
By now, the sales had exceeded a hundred thousand.
It had to be said, credit should be given to Jasper Sinclair.
Many people wanted to take this opportunity to latch on to this long line, and so, the sales started increasing exponentially online.
Of course, most people were still drawn to VK itself.
