Claire Bennett's Launch Event

She had invited a great many people today.

And she had also invited Landon West from Hudson Capital. Although he had turned her down at first, he later changed his mind and agreed.

It was just that the money from Hudson Capital still hadn’t come through, and she couldn’t help worrying that something might go wrong.

But since Landon had agreed to come, there probably wouldn’t be any problem.

With Landon West from Hudson Capital backing her up, she would definitely crush Claire Bennett’s launch event today!

"Has Mr. West arrived yet?" Ava Bennett asked the assistant beside her.

"Not yet..."

The launch event was about to begin, but Landon still hadn’t arrived. Although Ava Bennett was a little worried, when she thought about how he had already accepted her invitation, he probably wouldn’t stand her up, so she relaxed.

Just then, someone at the door called out, "Manager Song, Mr. West from Hudson Capital is here!"

Ava Bennett’s face lit up with delight. She stood and walked toward the door. "Let’s go welcome him."

After Ava Bennett said that, she got to her feet and walked outside, with the people behind her following one after another.

At the entrance to the hotel’s multifunction banquet hall, Landon West and his assistant were standing there.

"Mr. West, this also seems to be a brand launch event under Bennett Group, but it’s not Maison Verne. Weren’t you supposed to be going to the Maison Verne event you invested in today?"

The assistant spoke with a puzzled look on his face. He really didn’t understand why the same company would hold two launch events, for two brands at the same time, and in the same place, directly across from each other.

Wouldn’t that just split the crowd?

Landon’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Just came to take a look."

In truth, of course, Julian Sterling had instructed him to properly help Claire Bennett.

That was why he had come over to Ava Bennett’s side first to see what was going on, so he could better step in and help Claire Bennett.

Just then, Ava Bennett approached with a group of people. "Mr. West, you really did come!"

Ava Bennett wore a faint smile as she politely welcomed Landon West. Her eyes also signaled to Olivia Lawson at the side, telling her to hurry and bring the reporters over to take pictures of her.

Originally, Ava Bennett only knew Jason Chang from Hudson Capital and wasn’t familiar with Landon West. When she invited him, she hadn’t been sure whether he would come, but to her surprise, he had agreed.

Landon West had invested in quite a few projects and companies, and his connections and resources were extremely formidable.

Because Landon had a uniquely sharp eye, the returns on all his investments were extremely high. These days, whenever Landon took interest in a project, quite a few people would follow suit and invest.

If Landon came to the launch event, then after it ended, once she promoted it heavily, she would definitely be able to attract plenty of investors.

Once she had ample funding, Claire Bennett’s side would be crushed to death by her pressure.

Claire Bennett probably wouldn’t even be able to stir up any trouble in Bennett Group before getting suppressed. When that happened, wouldn’t she only be able to obediently rely on Ava’s favor just to keep hanging on?

At that moment, Olivia Lawson had already drawn all the reporters over.

She wanted the reporters to get some good shots of Ava Bennett and Landon West looking like they had a great relationship.

The reporters held up their cameras and snapped away at Ava Bennett.

For a moment, Ava Bennett became the center of everyone’s attention.

Looking at the gazes turning toward her from all around, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

When the surrounding guests saw what was happening on Ava Bennett’s side, they also began discussing it among themselves.

"Is that Mr. West from Hudson Capital?"

"Looks like him. I just heard staff from Bennett Group saying that Mr. West also made a big investment in Bennett Group’s new product launch this time."

"But... there’s also a Bennett Group launch event across from this one. Which one did Mr. West invest in?"

"What a stupid question! Obviously Ava Bennett’s side. Over there is just some nobody newcomer. Why would Mr. West possibly invest in that side?"

Hearing the quiet discussion coming from all around, the smile on Ava Bennett’s lips deepened a little more.

This was exactly the effect she wanted to achieve.

Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on her, Ava Bennett became even more eager and attentive in speaking with Landon West, trying to create the impression that the two of them were very close.

"Mr. West, you made a special trip here today, and I haven’t properly received you. Please, come inside."

At that moment, Olivia Lawson’s eyes flashed, and she deliberately said, "Manager Song, we really do have Mr. West to thank for investing in our launch event this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to put together such a grand show. I’ll definitely make proper arrangements for Mr. West’s seat."

After saying that, Olivia Lawson smiled at Landon West again. "Mr. West, if you need anything, just let me know."

Ava Bennett smiled in satisfaction. "That’s right, Mr. West, don’t be polite."

Hearing Ava Bennett’s words, the rustling whispers among the surrounding guests grew a little louder again.

Just as the people around them were starting to feel tempted, thinking they would place orders as soon as the launch event ended, Landon West suddenly spoke coldly: "I never invested in you."
