This meant that one could buy a three thousand dollar high-end drone for only a dime! The news shook the entire internet to its core!
No matter how cruel the customers were before, who could resist the temptation of basically getting a brand new high-end drone for free?
The entrance to Tate Industries was soon crowded with returning customers.
Averie did not leave the office until 9 p.m. that night.
She got in her car and rushed home.
The children should be asleep by now.
Once everything was settled, she wanted to stay home and spend more time with the kids.
Averie’s phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the screen, then turned on her bluetooth earphones and answered the call.
“Averie! Have you seen what they’re saying on social media? I’m so mad!” Tammy said angrily on the other end of the line. “You were kind enough to practically give out free drones to your previous customers, but a bunch of trolls are still insulting you online!”
Averie expected this to happen.
Shaun had told her that, as long as she did not share their core technology, he would make sure that she would not be able to run her business smoothly in Aryadelle.
This was because she would be offending over eighty percent of domestic capital.
No matter what she did, they would come at her and smear her name!
What Averie needed to do now was pull through this.
She had faith that her product could truly impress her customers.
“I didn’t read it. You shouldn’t either,” Averie said soundly.
“How can I pretend as if I didn’t see it if I already did? I’m fighting back at those trolls on your behalf!” Tammy said unhappily. “I’ve already asked all of my friends to support your product! You’ve got this!”
“Thank you! I just don’t know what to do from now on.”
“I’ll help you if you’re in trouble!” Tammy said, then changed the subject and added, “I’m not going to Elyette Foster’s engagement party tomorrow.”
Averie could not help but laugh.
“There’s no need for that, Tammy.”
“There is a need! I absolutely despise that sleaze bag! Also, that conniving b*tch Zoe Sanford!
Wouldn’t I just be disgusted if I went to their engagement party?”
Tammy’s tone was especially intense, so Averie did not advise her further.
Over at the Foster mansion, Elyette emerged from the shower but did not feel sleepy at all.
He opened a bottle of wine, then sat at the bar and read the news on Tate Industries while sipping his wine.
Their latest business plan might seem foolish at first glance, but it was actually a very smart move.
The best way to move away from negative press was not to run away, but to come up with the most sincere solution.
However, the internet was still scornful of this method.
Some people said that Averie Tate pulled the entire thing as part of a marketing scheme!
Some were even saying that her true ambition was to monopolize the domestic market. If she shuts down her competitors, she would be able to forgo product quality and raise prices! She could easily make back all of the money she was losing now!
The most ridiculous thing was the rumor that all of Averie’s money came from foreign investors! Buying products from Tate Industries was equivalent to giving money to foreigners!
In just a few hours, the trending topic of boycotting Tate Industries exceeded a hundred million readers!
If things continued down this path, Averie might not be able to get out of this hole.
Elyette tightened his hand around the glass of wine.
Averie was getting picked on by the domestic market, but all he could do was sit aside and watch.
She would not accept any of his help.
At that moment, he did not realize just how terrifying the look on his face was!
At seven the next morning, a breaking news report appeared on social media, causing the page servers to come to a complete standstill!
Elyette was awakened by the sound of his ringtone.
He answered the call with furrowed brows.
Whatever was said on the other end of the line made him throw back the covers and jump out of bed!
Just moments ago, Eric Santos, who Elyette had been searching for far and wide, finally appeared on social media!
As a once formidable king of pop icons, his accident on stage three years ago was the biggest tragedy of his life!
Since then, he disappeared from the limelight.
Everyone assumed that he was dead.
Even so, his diehard fans spent every day leaving comments on and liking his social media posts in hopes of a miracle.
In the end, a miracle finally happened!
Eric Santos uploaded a new post on his social media page at 6.55 a.m. that morning.
[Dear friends. It’s been three years. How have you all been? I’ve been well, but I’ve felt a little lonely. I bought a Storm Series drone last year. I flew it to faraway places every day, and it brought back different exciting footage with it every one. It made me feel like I was immersed in a city glowing with fireworks. I’m very grateful for its company. To me, my drone was not a cold machine, but an old friend. Now, my dear friend is going through a dark time because of some imperfections. I could not stay silent. I hope everyone will give it a chance to grow, just like the way you stayed by my side when I was growing up in the industry.]
The post was uploaded alongside a video with a series of thrilling footage taken using a Storm Series drone.
The video ended with a scene of Eric Santos tenderly brushing the dust off of the drone.
Nobody expected the popular idol to appear once again to the public in this way after a three year hiatus!
All of his fans were losing their minds!
It was enough to bring the social media page’s servers down.
The servers recovered half an hour later.
The number of comments on Eric Santos’ post rose at an alarming rate.
(Aaaahhhh! I’m crying! I knew Eric was alive! He promised that he would always be with us! Woooo!)
(Santosians! Eric’s back! He’s finally back!]
(Wooo! I ordered ten Storm Series drones from Tate Industries’ website on a whim! It’s all for Eric!)
Elyette stared at Eric Santos’ post and suspected he was hacked.
The post seemed like a giant advertisement for Tate Industries.
Mike was a world class hacker.
It would be a piece of cake for him to hack into someone’s social media account.
Their Storm Series drones were suffering major backlash at the moment and needed emergency crisis management to deal with the bad press!
This post from Eric Santos was the lifeline they were desperate for!
However, the hacking theory did not explain the way his hand appeared at the end of the video.
Elyette searched for photos of Eric Santos’ hands and compared them with the hand in the video.
In the end, he confirmed that the hand in the video definitely belonged to Eric Santos.
Why did someone who was in hiding for the past three years suddenly appear back into the limelight for a product?
Did Tate Industries pay him a huge sum of money?
Elyette had gone given his all to search for Eric Santos.
How did Averie get in touch with him?
Could there be some private relationship between the two of them?
Elyette needed to get in contact with Eric Santos and find out who his doctor was.
Shea’s condition improved slightly after the last surgery, but she was still far from being fully recovered.
Perhaps Eric Santos’ doctor could help Shea recover even more quickly!
The only problem was that the background of the video he posted was nothing but woods.
It was impossible to pinpoint his location.
The only thing he could do now was ask Averie!
The doorbell at the Starry River Villa rang at nine in the morning.
Mike walked to the door with his disheveled blond hair. He took one look at the surveillance camera at the front door, then opened the door
