Chapter 562
Can You Give Me a Chance
Claire Bennett shot Ava Bennett a cold look. She had scheduled her launch event for winter, and now Ava had deliberately moved hers up by two whole seasons. Wasn't it just to viciously stomp her into the ground?
Now that she had caught this opportunity, Ava naturally mocked her to the fullest.
But Claire Bennett was not someone who gave in easily. With a cool expression, she said, "No need. Keep it for yourself."
Olivia Lawson jumped out unhappily and pointed at Claire Bennett as she said, "Claire Bennett, Manager Song was worried your launch event would fall through, so she wanted to make an introduction for you. Don't be so ungrateful."
"Heh." Claire Bennett let out a cold laugh. "So what if I am ungrateful?"
As long as you were shameless enough, the other side wouldn't be able to land any blows. Claire Bennett understood that principle.
Sure enough, the words Olivia Lawson had prepared got stuck in her throat for a moment.
Ava Bennett quickly pulled Olivia Lawson back and said softly, "Oh, Claire doesn't want it, so forget it. Everyone, move along. Stop blocking my sister."
The crowd immediately moved aside and opened a path.
Claire Bennett couldn't be bothered to deal with these people anymore. Without sparing them another glance, she went back to her office.
After Claire Bennett left, Olivia Lawson leaned closer to Ava Bennett and said, "Manager Song, Claire Bennett is completely being crushed by you now!"
Ava Bennett put away her smile, glanced at Olivia Lawson, and asked, "There's only one week left until the launch event. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
At that, Olivia Lawson immediately patted her chest and said, "I used my connections to speak to those investment companies. No one is going to invest in Claire Bennett now, so don't worry."
"You've done very well. I doubt Claire Bennett can stir up any trouble now." Ava Bennett curled her lips into a smile and said, "When the time comes, make sure you speak properly with the media reporters and give Claire Bennett plenty of coverage. Make her the biggest joke of all!"
"Yes, Manager Song."
...
Inside the office.
After Claire Bennett returned to her office, she finally relaxed a little.
She sat down at her desk, her brows knitting slightly. It really was a headache that Ava Bennett had snatched away her investment. With only one week left until the launch event, where was she supposed to find investment now?
Just as Claire Bennett was worrying over it, her phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
A puzzled look appeared on her face. She didn't know who was calling her, but after hesitating for a moment, she still swiped to answer. "Hello, who is this?"
"Miss Song, hello. I'm Landon West from Hudson Capital..."
The moment she heard Hudson Capital, Claire Bennett's expression darkened at once.
Earlier, that company had told her and Molly Lee to come over, and then after Ava Bennett showed up, they invested in Ava Bennett instead. She was extremely sensitive about that company now. She hadn't expected them to call her this time. What did he want?
Claire Bennett's attitude turned a little cold as she said evenly, "What is it?"
"Here's the situation... Someone at my company acted recklessly before and accidentally invested in the wrong person. I've already fired him. Now I want to invest in you again. I wonder if you can give me a chance?"
After hearing Landon West's words, Claire Bennett was completely dumbfounded.
What was going on? Landon West wanted to invest in her?
Hadn't Hudson Capital already invested in Ava Bennett? Why had they suddenly changed their mind?
Suddenly, Claire Bennett remembered that the person representing Hudson Capital that day didn't seem to be the company's boss. He should have just been an employee. Could it be that Hudson Capital really had changed its mind?
After what happened last time, Claire Bennett had already become extremely cautious. She didn't want to make a wasted trip, so she hesitated uneasily and said, "Are you sure you want to invest in me? You won't change your mind again when we meet and switch to someone else, right? If that's the case, then I don't think there's any need for us to meet again."
"Absolutely not!" The moment Landon West heard that, he became anxious and quickly said, "Miss Song, what happened last time was a misunderstanding. Don't worry. This time I'll receive you personally. When the time comes, you can have however much investment you want. I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied!"
After ending the call, Claire Bennett still looked completely stunned.
Why did all of this feel so unreal? Landon West was being far too polite to her!
