Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Broadened Horizons
Vivian Drew’s mouth twitched with anger, and she shouted: “Caleb Mat!”
“Miss Wendy Drew still hasn’t apologized to Mrs. Mat.”
Vivian stared in disbelief: “What do you an?”
She had already bowed her head to Caleb as a sign of goodwill. What else did he want? Did he really want her to apologize to Xaviera Evans in front of everyone? That would be too humiliating!
“If Miss Wendy Drew is unwilling to apologize, we won’t force her. Xaviera, let’s go.” After saying this, Caleb was about to take Xaviera’s hand and leave.
Upon hearing this, Sir Drew glared at Vivian fiercely. She trembled all over and could only clench her teeth and grudgingly say, “Xaviera, I’m truly sorry. I misspoke earlier. Today is the Drew family’s annual banquet, let’s take our seats now, so we don’t delay the rest of the program.”
Struggling to contain her rage, she felt suffocated, and her eyes were filled with resentnt.
Boyd Drew, standing nearby, quietly asked his assistant, “How’s it going?”
Assistant: “Mr. Drew, everything is ready. The presale of our new perfu will definitely surpass the Mat Corporation.”
Boyd took a deep breath, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly, “The Mat Corporation, after winning 5 years in a row, is finally going to lose!”
The drama on stage eventually ended with Vivian apologizing. Xaviera did not say anything further; instead, she and Caleb took their seats. She whispered in Caleb’s ear, “Twenty minutes left.”
Twenty minutes later, the presale channels for the Mat Corporation and Drew Corporation’s perfus would open simultaneously. At this ti, the price of the perfu would be at its lowest. Most custors would place their presale deposit then, and the winner would be determined within an hour.
If the differences in presale revenue were small, the outco would still be uncertain. But if there were a significant gap, the final result could be declared.
In one hour, the winner between Boyd and Caleb would be clear.
The Drew family chose this ti for the annual banquet to coincide with the opening of the presale channel, so that they could witness their final victory together.
…
Three minutes before the presale channel opened, a senior executive from the Drew Group raised his wine glass, “Mr. Drew, you’ve worked hard for the release of our new perfu. I would like to take this opportunity during today’s annual banquet to wish you victory in the sales of our new perfu!”
Xaviera murmured, “Tsk! Why didn’t he just say he hopes Boyd will surpass you? Why not be more direct?”
Caleb smiled slightly, knowing what everyone was thinking. Whether they were tactful or direct, it didn’t matter to him — he only cared about the result.
Boyd happily toasted with the senior executive. Afterward, they exchanged glances, and everyone looked at Caleb. The man then asked suggestively, “The Mat Corporation has also released a new perfu and invested heavily in it. In previous years, the Mat Corporation was always the number one in both presales and post-sales. This ti, does Mr. Caleb Mat have confidence in taking the crown?”
Xaviera snorted coldly.
Vivian mocked, “Caleb, before the developnt of the new perfu, it was quite unfortunate that several experienced perfurs from the Mat Corporation changed sides to Boyd. I heard the Mat Corporation had no choice but to use inexperienced perfurs. Could it be that this perfu is…”
Caleb remained calm, as if he hadn’t heard her words.
Vivian pretended to be gentle, “Caleb, don’t bla Boyd for this. After all, in the business world, one’s strength speaks for itself. Even if you two are brothers, you should take this seriously. Perhaps those perfurs thought the Drew Corporation had better prospects for developnt and that’s why they switched sides.”
Xaviera: “…” The Drew Corporation had better prospects for developnt? Vivian’s ability to lie through her teeth was unparalleled!
The banquet hall was silent, and everyone could hear Vivian’s mockery. Others might have been angry and left in a huff, but Caleb didn’t appear angry at all. He casually held his wine glass and said with a half-smile, “Miss Wendy Drew.”
His deep voice was asured, “Does having better prospects for developnt an having more room for improvent? In that case, the Mat Corporation certainly can’t compare with the Drew family. After all, the Mat Corporation is already at the peak in Cotal, while the Drew family suffered imnse losses this year. Indeed, there is a lot of room for improvent. Mr. Mat has learned sothing new from Miss Wendy Drew.”
The people present could not help but click their tongues, Caleb’s words were even more venomous than Xaviera’s!
Everyone knew Vivian only ntioned it casually to mock Caleb, but he turned it back on her, slapping her face taphorically and mocking the entire Drew family at the sa ti.
Vivian’s eyes were filled with murderous rage, “Caleb Mat!”
