Chapter 194 Nature's Light
After a few days of intense preparation, the Stuart Group's new product, the "Nature's Light" jewelry collection, was finally ready.
On the day of the launch event, the luxurious and exquisite jewelry display attracted a lot of attention. The Stuart Group's product manager confidently introduced the new product on stage, sharing the inspiration behind each piece of jewelry.
This job used to be handled by Anna, whose stunning appearance and noble status had won her a large fan base.
However, as her reputation gradually declined, the Stuart Group's marketing department began to look for alternatives to Anna.
Sophia and Henry were not only Anna's parents but also the leaders of the Stuart Group, responsible for all its employees. Under pressure, they decided to hire a celebrity as the spokesperson for the new products.
Anna watched the new spokesperson on stage with eyes full of jealousy. Her gaze towards Sophia and Henry was filled with discontentment.
Sure enough, the Stuarts were not her biological parents; The Stuart Group's employees had only voiced a few objections, and they replaced her. It seemed they didn't care much for her after all.
Thinking this way, Anna realized that The Jones seemed much better to her.
But she didn't really care. After all, The Stuarts were just stepping stones on her path to success. She would continue to enjoy their endless affection.
As for what they would experience in the Stuart Group, that was not Anna's concern. After all, they deserved it.
The Stuart Group and the Russell Group have engaged in a business war.
The Russell Group had more substantial assets, so even twith losses, they could hold out longer. The Stuart Group, however, was in a more precarious financial position.
Despite Sophia's dwindling rationality, Henry still retained some sense in this business war. It was too crazy to sacrifice the entire Stuart Group for Anna's marriage.
They couldn't let their selfishness cause the collapse of the entire Stuart Group and its production chain. So Henry finally agreed to the board's proposal for peace talks at a high-level meeting.
He added, "We need to reassess our strategy. Perhaps The only way to get through this difficult period is by reaching some form of cooperation with the Russell Group."
The board members were almost moved to tears. They had realized long ago that continuing the price war would ultimately harm both two groups.
The two groups arranged to meet in a neutral location for talks. Joshua represented George and signed a cooperation agreement with Henry.
Anna finally got Henry's permission to attend the meeting after much pestering.
However, after she dressed up meticulously and entered the venue, she couldn't find any trace of George.
When the attendees learned that she was Anna, they all showed disdainful expressions towards her. It was because of her that the Stuart Group launched a business war against the Russell Group, causing both their stocks to plummet.
Now both sides are suffering losses, yet Anna can still gracefully take the stage and even look for George without any reservations.
So, what was the point of this business war?
The marketing team members of the Russell Group and the Stuart Group were in disarray.
During the time they were grabing market share, the Miss Lady brand reaped the benefits. The brand took advantage of the chaos between the Russell Group and the Stuart Group, attracting a lot of consumer attention.
Now, the Miss Lady brand's stock price had finally risen, while the two Group's stock prices were still lingering at a low point, with recovery seeming far off.
At this moment, Miss Lady was synonymous with high-end jewelry.
Emma was at home, watching the continuously rising stock price on her computer, feeling increasingly delighted.
She happily leaned against Michael, her head resting on his perfectly firm chest, and gently tapped his two pink nipples.
"You're also part of the Russell family, so why are you helping me fight against the Russell Group?"
Recently, Emma had started secretly investigating Michael but hadn't found anything strange about him. As for why Michael's name appeared in that basement, she had no idea. The only thing she discovered was that Michael didn't have any affection for the Russell family. He was so independent that he seemed like an outsider, completely detached from the Russell family.
Michael casually popped a grape into Emma's mouth.
"Don't play dumb. Don't you know how I feel about you?"
Emma lay in Michael's arms, wrapping her arm around his neck. Michael, following the force of her arm, slowly lowered his head, and an intimate atmosphere flowed between them.
Michael slowly leaned in, and just as their lips were about to touch...
"Mom, help me with my homework." Seraphine suddenly emerged from the bedroom, holding a piece of paper.
Seraphine's appearance startled them. Emma quickly got up from Michael's embrace, looking at Seraphine with embarrassment.
Seraphine didn't mind and innocently asked, "Mom, were you kissing Dad?"
"Yes, I love your mom the most, and I love kissing her." Michael kindly replied.
"Then I want to kiss both you."
Seraphine quickly ran over, jumping into Emma's arms, and left a loud kiss on both their faces.
The family of three happily hugged each other. Emma, holding onto Michael's shoulder, took the opportunity to bite him hard when Seraphine wasn't looking.
Michael took a deep breath; Emma's bite was really hard, but he still enjoyed it.
He heard Emma whisper to him, "Once I get my revenge, we'll go back to Country F together and never come to a place like this again."
The business conflict between the Russell Group and the Stuart Group concluded abruptly, with neither party achieving their desired outcome.
The Stuart Group wasn't defeated, and George didn't start paying attention to Anna because of it.
Since signing the cooperation agreement, Anna had never shown a good attitude towards Sophia and Henry.
Those two useless people, always claimed to love Anna, but what did they do?
Not only did they fail to fulfill their promise to make George change his mind, but they also significantly reducd the funds Anna could control in the future.
Therefore, Anna resolved to take matters into her own hands to win George back.
It was best time to seduce George.
