“Darling, I think our house is too small. I saw a manor-styled mansion recently, and I think it’s pretty good. Since it’s just been put on the market, why don’t you take a look to see if you like it?”
When Roxanne leaned over to glance at it, all she saw was a long row of zeroes behind the stated price. She did the math and realized the mansion cost whopping billions.
“This place is big enough. Just the garden alone is the size of a few basketball courts.” Roxanne still couldn’t shake her habit of being thrifty although she was now filthy rich..
“That won’t do. What if we end up with a ton of kids in the future? That’s why we need a manor. We can have a pavilion in the garden with faux hills and streams. This is the latest design based on a classical countryside theme. Don’t you like it?”
Throwing Roxanne a glance, Lucian could clearly see how fascinated she was by the architecture. “Of course I like it. I’ll let you decide. I do want a bigger space for the children to exercise in. We can put in a slide and half a soccer field.”
The moment the words rolled off Roxanne’s tongue, Lucian whipped out his phone and gave the developer a call. “I’m Lucian Farwell. I’m interested in your biggest manor. Please reserve it for me.”
A single sentence from Lucian elicited a long introduction to the project and an expression of gratitude from whoever he was speaking to. At the end of the conversation, Lucian flatly replied, “I got it. It’s settled then!”
Lucian ended the call with a casual tone, similar to the tone Roxanne used whenever she bought herself a cup of coffee.
There were only a total of five manors under the project. Sales were expected to be slow due to their exorbitant prices. That said, Lucian’s purchase of one of them naturally meant that the rest would easily sell out, for it was the dream of many to be neighbors with him.
Half an hour later, Roxanne was surprised to see the developer drop by with a huge group of staff. Lucian invited them in, for he happened to have a few requests to make.
From the moment they stepped in, the developer gave them a thirty percent discount which ran into a few hundred million. Roxanne was pleasantly surprised by their generosity.
“Mr. Farwell, I’ve brought my design team here with me. Whatever requests you and your wife have, we will record it down and fulfill them accordingly.”
“All right. Have a seat, everyone, and make yourselves at home.” The developer listened intently as Lucian expressed the ideas he had and invited Roxanne to share hers. After a two-hour discussion, everyone was brought onto the same page.
The couple exchanged smiles after the developer left with his entourage.
At the international airport of Horington, Christina gradually disembarked from the plane and went through immigration with a brand. new ID card.
This time, she could finally return to Horington openly because there wasn’t a single trace of Aubree Pearson left on her. Not even her parents would necessarily be able to recognize her if they saw her.
After Elektra came to pick her up, both of them headed straight to the new factory. The sight of the busy employees injecting the liquid substance into the products brought a wide and satisfied smile to Christina’s face.
She beheld the scene with such elation it was as though she was watching them inject poison into Roxanne’s body. Soon, Roxanne is going to be destroyed!
“This is the third day, and we have completed eighty thousand sets. The products have been distributed to more than two hundred stores across thirty cities in the county. By tomorrow, we will be able to finish dealing with the products that are due to be sent to the affiliated stores in mid-tier cities,” Elektra reported with an emotionless expression. Christina threw her a glance, cognizant of Elektra’s suppressed indignance.
“Once sales of the product have kickstarted, the problem will surface within a single day. By then, the controversy will blow up across all the cities it’s sold in. Hahaha, Roxanne, how are you going to douse the fire then?”
Elektra nodded, for she couldn’t deny the ruthlessness of the plan. However, Christina couldn’t have done it without her cooperation. Therefore, Elektra was clearly aware of the reason Christina picked her-her special status.
Back then, part of the reason she managed to secure the partnership with Roxanne was due to the fact that she and Lucian were childhood friends. At the same time, the Lane family shared a close relationship with the Farwells.
“What about Roxanne? What’s she doing now? I’m sure you have someone watching her, don’t you?” As Christina strolled into the new factory, the smile on her hyaluronic-acid-injected face seemed rather unnatural.
“Yes, but we can’t be keeping watch all the time. We only have a general idea of what she’s doing, as she is currently surrounded by bodyguards.”
Looking up at Christina suddenly, Elektra probed, “Did you plan Sonya’s car accident the last time on purpose? Is it because you wanted Lucian to focus on Roxanne’s physical safety and neglect other aspects?”
“Haha, you’re making it sound as if I’m extremely meticulous. I merely wanted to show you what I’m capable of. That said, our plan this time will catch even Lucian by surprise.”
The mention of Lucian no longer invoked any emotion within Christina. That cruel man didn’t show me any mercy and forced me to flee Horington. Every day in Hawen. was torture to me, and I lived like a soulless corpse. And now, it’s time for payback! Since he cares so much about Roxanne, I’m going to destroy her completely.
Meanwhile, Roxanne and Lucian walked out of a bridal gown boutique holding each other’s hands. As the designers at the boutique were famous worldwide, their charges were high and an advance appointment was needed. However, they made an exception for Lucian. Despite how high-end the boutique was, Roxanne somehow felt that something was missing from her gown..
“I feel that we should let Essie design the gown. I have faith in her abilities. Even though the last version wasn’t ideal, I would still like to let her try,” Roxanne suggested.
After pondering for a moment, Lucian furrowed his brows. “I’m not against it, but we only have a few days left. I’m worried that there isn’t enough time. Also, Essie might disregard her health just to rush through the project. You know how she is.”
Indeed, Roxanne knew that her daughter took after her in that aspect. Both of them tended to forgo rest and sleep in pursuit of their passion.
“We can keep an eye on her while letting her give it a shot. At the same time, we can pick a gown from the boutique as a backup plan. When the time comes, we can decide based on her progress. What do you think?” Roxanne asked.
In the end, Lucian nodded in agreement.
While the wedding was only eight days away, Flora Verba Group’s official website and the flagship stores of major e-commerce platforms announced that the third batch of products would be on sale soon.
The three hundred thousand figure on the promotional poster was particularly eye- catching, and the market had since gone into a frenzy.
When Flora Verba Group’s second batch of products went on sale, the company gained popularity among consumers from all the top three tiers of cities.
Hence, a lot of consumers were looking forward to buying the products to see if they were as effective as others had proclaimed.
Since the company was going to sell up to three hundred thousand units, the consumers were hopeful of getting their hands on one.
Roxanne took Elektra’s advice to launch the products in advance because, in two days’ time, another luxury brand from Epea would also be launching their new product. Hence, Roxanne wanted to grab a share of the market beforehand, Experts in the industry even predicted Floral Verba Group to do exceptionally well, and they were expecting the three hundred thousand units to get sold out within three days. That prediction was based on the exponential increase in the company’s franchise stores as well as the online platforms selling the products.
