Since the livestream is happening in Cygnus, there was a brief period of adjustnt at the start.
The livestream hadn’t officially started yet, but it imdiately attracted attention.
After all, for the past few days, rumors have been flying everywhere, even saying that Brandon Huxley had absconded with the funds.
This concerns the investnt funds of Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford.
In no ti, the number of people paying attention to this issue skyrocketed.
Whether it’s Isla Lawson or Julian Lawson, mbers of the Ford Family, the Hawthorne Family, the Lloyd Family, and so on and so forth.
At the Ford Family, Jasper Ford didn’t go to Ford Entertainnt today; instead, he lay at ho resting and was now coming downstairs to speak with Old Master Ford.
Alexander Ford had also returned by now and started to laugh as soon as he saw Jasper Ford.
For the past week, Alexander Ford had mocked Jasper Ford plenty of tis.
And today was no exception.
"Yo, Jasper, why aren’t you going to the company today?" Alexander Ford walked over, sat directly on the sofa, and mocked, "Is it because you lost money and are now afraid to go to the company, scared of being laughed at?"
Jasper Ford rolled his eyes at Alexander Ford and then continued to pour tea for himself.
"Jasper, if you ask , you’re too trusting of that woman Serena Sterling. Even though ’Heavenly Sound’ made you a lot of money, this ti you’ve lost so much, it’s really embarrassing." Alexander Ford continued sarcastically.
After speaking, he glanced at Percival Ford and said, "Grandfather, is Jasper being so proactive lately because he wants to borrow money from the family?"
Percival Ford had always been a bystander to these brothers’ feuds, and he didn’t intervene now either.
Jasper Ford brewed so tea, smiling as he handed it to the Old Master, and they watched the livestream together.
Seeing that they ignored him, Alexander Ford also felt it pointless and turned to watch the big screen with them.
After watching the livestream, he was eager to see how Jasper Ford could still laugh!
He couldn’t wait to hear Brandon Huxley say that line—"Hello everyone, I’ve taken off with the money!"
At Brandon Huxley’s end, the equipnt had already been adjusted.
anwhile, Serena Sterling was sitting calmly in her office.
The background of Brandon Huxley’s livestream clearly showed a hotel room.
He looked at the cara and smiled.
"Hello everyone, I’m Brandon Huxley from Aether," Brandon Huxley said. "I’ve taken off with the money... just kidding, hahaha."
"I have not fled."
Brandon Huxley gave a playful start and said, "I’ve brought soone along."
With that, he pulled soone into the fra, and Eric Grant sat beside him.
They both looked at the cara with a smile.
"I haven’t fled either," Eric Grant said. "I’m still with Aether."
Brandon Huxley nodded and said, "Today, we aim to clarify the rumors about Aether’s core technology personnel leaving."
Brandon Huxley patted Eric Grant on the shoulder and said, "I’m sure everyone knows by now, this is our core technologist, and he’s still here."
Eric Grant nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I’m still here, and I will always be with Aether."
The two of them, like a duo cody act, explained clearly about recent events.
They also explained that coming to Cygnus was not to flee, but because of a family mber’s illness, requiring surgery overseas.
They tacitly agreed not to ntion Serena Sterling.
This was sothing Serena Sterling had discussed with them in advance.
"I wasn’t able to co forward earlier because I’ve been extrely anxious," Eric Grant looked apologetically at Brandon Huxley, saying, "My condition wasn’t good either. Now that my family mber’s surgery was successful, during the recovery period, I quickly ca out to explain via the livestream."
"Soon, we’ll return ho together and continue our previous research, and make Aether bigger and stronger!"
The two brothers clasped hands, looking full of ambition!
Brandon Huxley was so moved that his eyes turned red, he paused before saying, "And then, there’s another piece of good news, this ti by coming to Cygnus, we’ve also secured a collaboration."
Brandon Huxley cleared his throat and loudly announced, "Aether has secured the CHM order!"
Brandon Huxley continued to talk about many things, such as Aether’s future prospects and his recent feelings, but not many people paid attention anymore.
Aeston had already erupted.
Many people were paying attention to this matter.
Earlier, there was always talk about the failed investnt of 150 million by Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford being stuck, and a major reason for that was the rumor of Eric Grant’s departure as Aether’s core technologist.
Brandon Huxley had previously clarified multiple tis, but no one believed him.
But this ti, everyone believed it, because Eric Grant personally appeared and explained the relevant reasons.
Additionally, they even secured a new order.
The swift ones had already rushed to check.
The CHM order isn’t large, just 10 million, but it’s enough.
After all, it’s a piece of good news.
In such a situation, being able to secure a new order is already fantastic!
Aether’s valuation shot up imdiately, overcoming the drop caused by the rumors of Eric Grant’s departure, and even made a small gain due to the new order.
"So, Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford’s 150 million investnt hasn’t been stuck but has beco even more valuable?"
"Yes! That’s right!"
"News just ca out, many are contacting Brandon Huxley wanting to invest, but Brandon Huxley has already said this round of financing is over."
"What do you an?"
"It ans they don’t need funds right now. Simply put, Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford’s shares are very scarce now!"
"Yes, and when they want to invest more in the next round, we don’t know when or at what price it will be!"
...
People talked endlessly. Regardless of whether in or out of the industry, everyone reached a consensus now.
That is— "Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford’s investnt this round was successful!"
Not just successful, it could even be said they struck it lucky!
Because Aether’s technology is well-recognized.
Back then, many were eager to invest in Aether, with an endless stream of people visiting for tours. If not for the rumor of Aether’s core technologist leaving, they would never have given up the investnt.
"So who spread that rumor?"
"Yeah, I rember Brandon Huxley always said Eric Grant hadn’t left, so where did that rumor co from?"
"Seems like it ca from Isla Lawson’s side."
...
The Lawson Corporation.
Isla Lawson’s office.
The phone lines were overloaded.
Isla Lawson swept everything off the desk to the floor in a fit.
Several fragile items, like cups, shattered with a crash.
The secretary was startled when she ca in.
But she didn’t dare say anything out of line, just reported the latest news.
"Miss Lawson, the phones are overloaded. After we released the ssage earlier, many people are questioning us now."
Isla Lawson glared viciously at the secretary: "What are they questioning?"
"They want an explanation, so kind of... compensation," the secretary said.
Isla Lawson let out a cold laugh.
"They want compensation?" Isla Lawson’s chest heaved with anger, "Did I tell them not to go? Did I tell them not to invest?"
The secretary remained silent.
"I only spread the ssage, and they believed it, now it’s my fault?" Isla Lawson said angrily.
