Chapter 700
As dawn broke on the following day, Sie arose early, busying herself in the kitchen to prepare a wholesome breakfast for the children. "My darlings," she announced with a tender smile, "I've taken the day off. How about we spend it at the amusement park?"Sophia's eyes lit up at the suggestion. "Okay!" she exclaimed, her voice bubbling with excitement. "I want to eat marshmallows."Sie chuckled, assuring her, "I'll make sure you all get what you want."
No sooner had Sie finished speaking than Laura emerged from the guest room. She was clad in a retro plaid long dress, a beige blazer casually draped over her shoulders. Her face was adorned with a light touch of makeup, her long hair cascading down to her shoulders, and a pair of high heels completed her ensemble."Sweethearts, do I look beautiful?" Laura twirled around, seeking their approval.Sophia clapped her hands in delight. "Beautiful, absolutely stunning."Laura beamed at the compliment, tossing a chocolate towards Sophia. "You're so sweet. Auntie rewards you with chocolate."Sie's expression, however, darkened. "You're just heading to an SE group forum. Anyone would think you're going to a beauty pageant."Laura shrugged off Sie's comment. "You don't understand. Today, this grand event is attracting the attention of global beauty brands, and Michael from the Ocean Blue group is no exception. I've been waiting for this moment for too long. He had previously pushed me away, but now I can't wait to see the regret in his eyes," she declared proudly.Sie, suppressing a smile, urged her to eat. "Alright, hurry up and eat. Let's leave after breakfast."Meanwhile, at the Jude Family estate, the morning routine was underway. After the servants had served breakfast, Michael's assistant handed him a schedule and said, "Michael, at ten o'clock this morning, the renowned formulator Garan from the SE group will be giving a speech at the forum. Will you be attending? The SE group has sent an invitation."Michael frowned at the mention of the event. "Asher Roberts is such a jerk; he just wants to show off to me."The assistant sighed in agreement. "But this Master Garan is quite strange. We've invited her to Madison many times before, and she always declined. I thought she didn't like Madison, but now she suddenly agreed to our arch-rival SE group. Logically, our Ocean Blue group, in terms of status and brand level, is one level higher than SE. Smart people should choose to cooperate with us."Michael interlocked his fingers, deep in thought. "Has Garan signed a cooperation contract with the SE group?""Not yet, but it's said that Garan's main purpose in returning this time is to sign a contract with SE. Rumor has it that she has a wrinkle-tightening formula in her hands. If SE buys it, it will be troublesome. Over the years, the products developed by Garan have become classics worldwide, with a customer return rate of up to eighty percent."Upon hearing this, Michael's anger flared. "The formulators in our company are all useless. We invest so much money in them every year, but they haven't produced a satisfactory product."The assistant pursed her lips and whispered, "Actually, the head of the research department always mentions Laura from three years ago, saying she was quite talented, but unfortunately, her next product wasn't successful...""Shut up." Michael shot a cold glance. "There's nothing worth mentioning about Laura, a woman who has nothing but her looks. There are plenty of formulators like her here in Madison; I just don't fancy her."The assistant blinked in surprise, realizing that in Michael's eyes, besides Megan, other women were considered attractive."Of course, Laura is definitely not on the same level as Garan." The assistant nodded in agreement."No matter what, we can't let Garan cooperate with the SE group." Michael suddenly stood up. "Give me the invitation. I'll go to the forum hosted by the SE group and meet Garan in person. She can't possibly ignore me."
