Chapter 591 Marry Barbara?
After Ryder left Barbara's hospital room, he got an urgent call from Eli.
Eli said they needed his signature on a contract for it to be valid.
If not, the new product launch event set for that afternoon couldn't go ahead as planned.
So, Ryder and Rex rushed over to Maple Group's office.
They signed two major amendment documents related to the new internet product, the "GoldenEagle" app.
One document was for Eli's management company, Passionate Property Management Company, which was renamed Passion Logistics Management Company, with a big shift in its business line, now under Maple Group.
The other document officially made the company managed by Brent a functional department of Maple Group, mainly handling backend technology, and Brent became one of the directors of Maple Group.
These two documents would be shown to the media at the afternoon's new product launch event.
Thanks to thorough prep, the new product launch event that afternoon was a hit.
And once it was broadcast live and reported in the news, it caused a sensation in Aurora City!
First, the Young family launched the "Treasure Hunt App," and then Maple Group dropped a similar product, the "GoldenEagle App."
Maple Group timed their release right after Ken's girlfriend Anna posted a long article, riding the wave of the Ken incident, saving on advertising costs.
But businessmen weren't like fans blindly following celebrities or regular folks swayed by online marketing.
They were in a wait-and-see mode.
The Young family had quickly distanced themselves from Ken after his scandal.
Plus, that afternoon, an entertainment company under the Young family dropped another bombshell: Ken was arrested for kidnapping his girlfriend Anna and her friend, and for attempted rape.
Tyler from the Young family heroically saved the two women and was now recovering in the hospital!
The whole internet was stunned.
Ken had become the poster boy for a playboy, while Tyler's actions got widespread sympathy and praise online!
"Do I not know what kind of person Tyler is? A master at twisting the truth!"
During dinner that evening, Brent, after seeing the news online, complained to Ryder, Eli, and Rex, looking pissed.
Eli had a similarly serious look. "Plans can't keep up with changes. Who would've thought the Young family would use Ken's scandal to turn things around! They're good at creating momentum for themselves and flipping public opinion!"
Ryder smiled faintly, looking at Brent and Eli. "What, are you scared?"
"Not at all!" Eli waved his hand.
Brent also shook his head slightly. "I know that relying on a celebrity scandal alone to bring down the Young family is unrealistic! Just wait, our GoldenEagle will definitely beat Treasure Hunt. They're expanding too fast and might hit a cash flow problem later! We're taking steady steps, which is the right approach!"
Hearing this, Ryder's smile faded, and he frowned slightly.
Brent felt a bit nervous and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Ryder looked at Brent, his expression serious. "You didn't say anything wrong. But you need to think carefully about one thing: Are you doing all this just to bring down the Young family for your revenge? What will your goal be after the Young family is destroyed?"
Brent thought for a bit, then shrugged with a bitter smile. "I hadn't really thought about it before. Ever since my family had that incident, I've been obsessed with finding out the truth and taking down the Young family!"
"Honestly, before I met you, I knew I didn't have the power to shake the Young family, a noble family! So I didn't dare to dream beyond that!"
"But Mr. Clark, you're right. The downfall of the Young family is inevitable! As for future goals, working hard, getting married, having kids, and living a simple life sounds pretty good!"
"Not bad!" Ryder agreed.
"Come on, let's not get all heavy with life talk. Let's have a toast! To celebrate the official launch of our GoldenEagle!" Eli chimed in, lightening the mood.
The private room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere.
Meanwhile, over at the Young family villa.
Constantine sat on the sofa, looking kindly at the man wrapped in bandages across from him.
The bandaged man's face was unrecognizable.
From the voice, it was Tyler.
Constantine expressed his approval of Tyler's actions, "You did great this time!"
"It's all thanks to your guidance, Dad!"
Hearing this, Constantine's smile widened. "That's good to hear! You truly are a son of the Young family! By the way, there's something you might not know yet."
Tyler's exposed eyes lit up. "From the way you say it, it must be good news?"
Constantine nodded. "That's right! After we released the news about Ken's arrest for kidnapping, I got a call from the Jones family in Capital City. They said they'd send someone to take Anna back in a day or two!"
"Really? Does this mean we're now connected with the Jones family?"
Constantine shook his head and explained, "It's hard to say for now, but I found out that Anna is going back to marry into another prominent family! So, Anna, who was initially abandoned by the Jones family, has now become a valued princess. So, Tyler, there's one thing you must do now!"
Tyler straightened his back. "What is it, Dad?"
"I heard that Anna's friend is the woman you mentioned wanting to marry?"
"So, you mean I should marry Barbara?"
Constantine nodded.
Tyler sighed, "She doesn't like me at all! On the contrary, I can tell that she likes Ryder!"
"It doesn't matter! Whether she likes you or not is irrelevant! But you must marry her!" Constantine's tone was firm.
Tyler was troubled. "But if Barbara doesn't want to marry, forcing it would mean direct competition with Maple Group! It's not worth it!"
"It doesn't matter!" Constantine repeated.
Tyler thought that if Constantine weren't his father, he would have hit him already.
Suppressing his anger, he said helplessly, "Dad, it's not that I don't want to marry her!"
Constantine smiled confidently. "Barbara's hippocampus is damaged, and she has lost her memory of the past three years! She met Ryder after she returned to the country, so the current Barbara doesn't know Ryder! She also doesn't know what you did to her in Houston! Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Tyler nodded. "I understand! Don't worry, Dad. Since that's the case, I will definitely marry Barbara!"
Inwardly, he marveled at Constantine's impressive information channels.
