Ava Bennett Gets Slapped in the Face Miserably (Continued)

After all, before this they had thought the launch event wouldn't be able to happen at all. Now that it could be held was already a very good thing to them. It didn't matter if there were fewer people. The most important thing was to get the Maison Verne brand out there first. Once that happened, naturally other people would notice them.

It was just that Molly Lee had gone over to Ava Bennett's side a moment ago to check on the situation, and after coming back, her mood instantly turned bad.

Molly Lee said to Claire Bennett with a face full of worry, "Manager Song, I just snuck out to take a look, and it seems Mr. West from Hudson Capital has already arrived, but he went to the venue across from us. If he's investing in us, shouldn't he be coming here?"

Claire Bennett glanced at her in confusion and asked, "Mr. West went over to Ava Bennett's side?"

"Yeah. When I went over, Ava Bennett was enthusiastically welcoming him, and there were quite a few reporters there too. Manager Song, do you think Mr. West stood us up? Could he have changed his mind?"

Although that day Molly Lee had gone together with Claire Bennett to discuss it, who knew whether some accident might happen.

Claire Bennett laughed when she heard that and said, "What are you thinking? Even if Mr. West regretted it, the investment money is already in place. Once a fish is on the hook, are you still afraid it'll get away?"

After hearing Claire Bennett's words, the sullen look on Molly Lee's face finally eased.

She said with a delighted expression, "You're right! Manager Song, I didn't think of that."

Just as the two were talking, someone ran in and said, "Mr. West from Hudson Capital is here!"

Molly Lee instantly got excited, and quickly said, "Manager Song, looks like Mr. West didn't forget about us. He really came!"

Claire Bennett vaguely sensed that something had happened that she didn't know about. She stood up and said, "Let's go welcome Mr. West."

At the entrance of the multifunction banquet hall, Claire Bennett and Molly Lee met Mr. West.

Molly Lee was the first to speak. "Mr. West, I just saw you go over to Ava Bennett's side, and I thought you weren't coming."

Mr. West laughed, then put on a stern face and pretended to be angry as he said, "So you're blaming me for going over there first?"

Hearing Mr. West's words, Molly Lee said with a face full of panic, "No... no, that's not what I meant. I was just a little surprised. Mr. West, please don't take it to heart."

Actually, Mr. West was joking and wasn't really angry.

Claire Bennett naturally could tell that he wasn't angry. Seeing that Molly Lee was nearly scared out of her wits, she quickly spoke up to rescue the girl. Smiling, she said, "Mr. West, stop teasing Molly. Come in and have a seat. Our launch event is about to begin."

With Claire Bennett's welcome, Mr. West entered Maison Verne's launch venue and took a seat.

...

At this moment, on Ava Bennett's side.

She had just made such a huge fool of herself in public that she was about to lose all face, so she could only have the launch event begin early, while she herself went back to the backstage area, planning to tidy up her appearance so that after the launch event ended, during the interviews, she wouldn't leave people with a bad impression.

Ava Bennett also wanted to ask what exactly was going on with that Jason Chang.

He actually dared to lie to her. She definitely wouldn't let this go just like that!

In the lounge, Ava Bennett furiously dialed Jason Chang's number. The moment the call connected, she gnashed her teeth and demanded, "Jason Chang! Have you already been fired by Hudson Capital? How dare you lie to me!"

After Jason Chang was fired, he originally no longer had the ability to help Ava Bennett. But later Ava Bennett still kept contacting him and even fawned over him attentively, so he boldly assumed that Ava Bennett didn't know what had happened to him.

Later, after many rounds of testing the waters, he discovered that Ava Bennett really didn't know about his situation, and so he relaxed and boldly continued taking advantage of Ava Bennett.

Now that Ava Bennett had learned the truth, he simply decided to go for broke.

"Yeah, I was fired. But you never asked me, so how can you blame me for not telling you? Besides, wasn't the reason you came running over to suck up to me because you wanted to use me to deal with Claire Bennett? You were the one who didn't carefully investigate the matter yourself. What does that have to do with me? I'm very busy, so don't bother me again."

After saying that, Jason Chang ended the call with a smack.

Listening to the beeping tone in her ear, Ava Bennett was so furious her face turned green, and she almost smashed her phone.

Olivia Lawson looked at Ava Bennett carefully and asked, "Manager Song, how did it go?"
