Chapter 714 Sophia Takes Advantage Of The Situation
Chapter 714 Sophia Takes Advantage of the Situation
Sophia looked coldly at the people in front of her. "I know that the people behind you are hoping that my husband will die on the operating table this time. After all, I only gave birth to a daughter for the Riley family and have no son. She's too young to support the Riley family."
"The position of the Riley family in Sealand makes you all jealous, and you would love nothing more than to see it fall so that you can take its place."
"But building a company requires strength. Do you really think that without the Riley family, you can replace them and become rulers of Sealand? Do not underestimate what it takes to build a successful company."
Sophia's eyes showed contempt. "It's not that I look down upon you. Even without the Riley family, some other families might rise up. Are you going to use these despicable means again to kill someone as capable as Drake?"
"Today, I want everyone here to understand one thing: Drake did go into surgery room and has not yet woken up. But I believe he will wake up soon and live well enough to witness how those who stabbed him in his back towards their own downfall."
"To those who participated in this assassination attempt, listen carefully: from now on, unless someone kills me too, I will personally deal with each one of you myself!"
"Move out of my way!" Sophia's queen-like aura was overwhelming.
For some unknown reason, everyone made way for her.
Her four brothers who had been protecting her were no longer needed; they saw Sophia walk forward with prideful poise.
She was so classy! Her four brothers loved it!
Sophia appeared at the Riley Group's headquarters where all employees watched her closely.
Many knew she was not an ordinary woman; she had been in charge of the Lawson Family's company for two years before stepping down but still managed many companies today. However many still doubted whether she could handle both the Riley Group and the underground kingdom?
And what would happen next with Sealand's situation? Who knows?
Sophia went straight into her office where she began handling business matters while her brothers worked quietly on their own tasks without any fuss or noise around them. Edwin was fiddling with his mobile phone, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "I heard that you have a new product that will be launched soon, but you haven't found a spokesperson yet? Sophia, how about I become the spokesperson?"
The products of the Riley Group, of course, must be endorsed by famous international artists. Edwin was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Do you have time?"
"Sure."
"Free?"
Edwin seemed to flare up. "Sophia, do you see me as your brother? Though this incident has affected Drake and resulted in the loss of billions. It meant nothing to Drake. Can't you give me some?" "You do disappoint me!"
Travis thought for a while, "Sophia, I think you should give Edwin much money and let everyone outside know it."
Sophia understood what he meant: "Travis, you are right, I really didn't think carefully enough before."
Sophia looked at Edwin, "Your endorsement fee is over 100 million!"
Travis was dumbfounded: "You, what are you talking about?"
100 million was definitely an astronomical figure.
"It's a publicity stunt. Besides, your money is mine, so it doesn't matter how much I give you."
Edwin had to admit that his sister was very cunning.
He asked weakly, "Sophia, you give me the money, will you take it back?"
"Just kidding, am I that kind of person?" Sophia rolled her eyes.
Edwin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not short of money, he actually wanted more.
However, he was still a little worried that she would go back on her word.
Later, Sophia announced on the
official website that their latest
product had signed Edwin as their spokesperson. She even mentioned Edwin in the post, but he didn't respond right away. This caused a stir online.
"The Riley Group is declining, isn't it? Mr. Riley just had an accident and a collaboration with Edwin is announced. Is it trying to use his fame to promote their company?"
"In my opinion, it just proves that Mr. Riley's life is in danger."
"Well, I think it's a just a hype. So shameless."
Bard saw these negative comments about the Riley Group and Drake and frowned. "Sophia, is this really okay? Isn't it too much?"
Travis said, "Bard, it seems like you still have a lot to learn!"
"What do you mean?" Bard didn't understand.
Charles remained silent as usual; he was always concise with his words but that didn't mean he wasn't doing anything.
No one explained anything to Bard; he felt anxious and kept looking at everyone who was busy doing their own thing.
After almost two hours of arguing online, Edwin finally logged into his account.
He first tagged the Riley Group's official account and then made a statement: "I am very happy to with the Riley Group as their
Qu
spokesperson for such an an
us all
amount of money! I wish us pleasant cooperation."
This statement completely shocked everyone!
The whole internet went crazy because not only did both parties confirm they were working together but also because of the
unprecedented amount of money involved in the deal.
There were supportive fans:
"The collaboration between the Riley Group and Edwin is a win-win."
"The Riley Group chose Edwin because he's the best!"
"Edwin agrees to the endorsement when the Riley Group is in trouble. It proves their deep friendship!"
And there were fans who raised objections.
"Edwin, can you quit the cooperation! You might get into big trouble!"
"Mr. Riley got sick. Yet Edwin got so much money for the endorsement. Is he taking advantage of Mr. Riley's being ill?"
"Edwin endorsed the products for the money. He's so immoral and greedy."
