Chapter 804

Victoria's fingers paused as she perused through the documents. As she looked up, a tinge ofdispleasure flickered in her eyes.

Vanessa, noticing her reaction, quickly nodded and said, “Ms. Saunders, I misspoke. I'll write a formalapology right away.”

The entire Hallsbay knew that Victoria was the former wife of the CEO of LG Corporation. Despite theirdivorce, they had once been the closest of couples. Now that his ex-wife was facing trouble, Lionel, asher former husband, would extend a helping hand. However, Victoria hadn't anticipated such a strongrejection from him.

Just as Vanessa was about to turn and leave, Victoria said, “We can collaborate with LG, but wemustn't take any shortcuts. Even if we seek their assistance as agents, we must adhere to properprocedures. Vanessa, remember this. Personal emotions must never interfere with our work,understood?”

“Yes, Ms. Saunders, I understand. I promise not to repeat the same mistake.”

Victoria tossed aside her pen, lazily leaning back in her chair, and calmly said, “I recall anothercompany is also launching a new product simultaneously. Are they planning to engage LG forendorsements?”

“Yes, Bright Future Corporation is introducing a collection that highlights our country's centuries-oldculture through traditional-style jewelry. They, too, are considering LG's help in advertising andexpanding their global market. However, no contracts have been signed yet, which means we have achance to compete. LG always upholds its principles, and if our product catches the CEO's attention,

they will deploy all their resources to promote it. Ms. Saunders, once we secure a contract with LG,they will not entertain any other advertisements in the foreseeable future. With their influence, they willundoubtedly pave the way for our new product in the market.”

Victoria rose from her chair, leaned on the desk with her hands, arched an eyebrow, and said, “Thenwhat are we waiting for? Assemble the heads of the planning department, public relations department,marketing department, and publicity department. Let's brainstorm how to enhance our proposal,captivate Mr. Gezmond's interest, and persuade him to sign the contract, promising to dedicate all ofLG Corporation's resources to promoting our new product over the next few months.”

Vanessa acknowledged her instructions and hurriedly made her way toward the door.

To be honest, this matter didn't need to be so complicated. All Ms. Saunders had to do was call Lionel,invite him out, and adequately attend to him for a night. It was guaranteed that he would sign thecontract without a second thought.

Women are meant to conquer men.

However, Victoria didn't dare to suggest this idea. It was evident that Victoria strongly opposed anyonementioning Lionel before her.

At the same time, in LG Corporation. Inside the CEO's office, Lionel was receiving Arthur, therepresentative from Bright Future Corporation.

“Mr. Gezmond, we have collaborated before, and we can be considered old acquaintances in thebusiness world. This time, our company is launching a collection of traditional-style jewelry, intending to

showcase our country's traditional culture. This project has received significant attention, and noweverything is ready. We are only waiting for you to sign the contract and promote our new productglobally. Can we consider this partnership set in stone?” Arthur said.

Lionel remained silent, slowly puffing on a cigar. Observing his demeanor, Arthur felt uneasy. He knewthat the new CEO of Saunders Group was Lionel's ex-wife, and Saunders Group was their biggestcompetitor.

If Lionel took a backdoor approach and signed a contract with Saunders Group, all the jewelry seriesthey had developed would become obsolete. Without LG's promotion and advertising, we couldn'tpenetrate the overseas market. Without a foothold in the global market, our sales would be limited,making it impossible for us to enter the luxury goods industry.

That's why it was crucial for him to secure this contract today.

“Mr. Gezmond, if you are not satisfied with the advertising fees, I can increase it by tens of millions oreven hundreds of millions. Furthermore, I can promise that once the market opens up, three percent ofthe total sales of our new product will be given to you as a commission. It's a win-win situation, and wecan make money together,” Arthur proposed.

Lionel took a deep drag from his cigar, silently exhaling a cloud of smoke.

“Mr. Harrison seems to be in a hurry. If you're in such a rush, you can consider hiring other advertisingcompanies to promote your product. I'm not in a hurry to take on your business,” Lionel finally said aftercontemplating. His resources were meant for his wife. Arthur's expression changed immediately uponhearing this.

Find another advertising company? It wouldn't work.

LG Corporation held two-thirds of the global advertising market share. Even if he hired ten advertisingcompanies, they wouldn't match up to LG. They needed LG's resources for promotion to make theirnew product an international hit.

“No, no, I'm not in a rush. After all, there is still over a month until the new product launch. It's just thatI'm an impatient person. Once we sign this contract, I can fully relax. If Mr. Gezmond has no objectionsto our collaboration, why not sign the contract now?” Arthur proposed.

Lionel extinguished his cigar, calmly stating, “Since there's no rush, let's discuss it at a later time. I havea high-level meeting to attend shortly, so I won't keep Mr. Harrison for lunch. Please, feel free to leave.We will have an opportunity for cooperation.”

“Mr. Gezmond—” Arthur opened his mouth, intending to say something, but Lionel waved his hand tointerrupt.

“I prefer dealing with decisive people. I'm not fond of those who dawdle and waste time. In such cases,I usually don't waste my time considering them and just cut them off. Mr. Harrison, don't rub me thewrong way.”

Arthur quickly sealed his lips and obediently stood up from the couch.

“Alright, alright. Mr. Gezmond, please carry on with your work. I will visit another time.” Lionel remainedsilent.

Watching Arthur leave, Lionel slowly picked up his phone from the desk.

He was waiting for Saunders Group to submit their proposal.

He believed that Victoria was someone who didn't sweat the small stuff and would never let pastgrievances affect the promotion of the new product.

So he was confident that she would reach out to him. No, it should be said that Saunders Group wouldapproach LG. In the infirmary at the Shurmer Group research base in Moranta, Bailey had justperformed surgery on Caridee, removing a dart from her calf. Looking at the heavily scarred girl on thebed, Bailey fell silent.

No wonder people say that the word “love” is the most hurtful. Before Caridee met Veikko, the girl wascarefree and worry-free. But after meeting him, her world underwent a tremendous transformation.

The injuries on her body bore witness to her love for him.

“How is she? Did it affect her bones?” came Veikko's voice by her ear, bringing her wandering thoughtsback.

“Her leg and tongue are fine, just superficial injuries, but her arm... It's already badly injured. I'm afraidit won't fully recover,” Bailey replied.

Veikko pressed his lips together, a hint of frustration and helplessness flickering in his eyes. He hadalways tried his best to prevent her from getting hurt, but in the end, she still suffered injuries becauseof him.

“Is there no other solution?” he asked.

Bailey shrugged. “I'm at the end of my tether. You can call me a quack doctor.”

Veikko sighed and said, “I was talking about something important, and you're joking around. Forget it.I'll leave first since you're taking care of her.”

“Wait,” Bailey called out to him.
