Chapter 310
"Aubree?" Trevor finally snapped out of his drunken haze. At this hour, there were hardly any passersby. It was even less likely anyone would notice what was happening in this dimly lit alleyway.
He clutched his stinging face. He still looked dazed, but his eyes were glinting with rage. "How dare you hit me?"
In Aubreeโs previous life, aside from Carmen Wilson, Daxton and Trevor Wilson were the biggest scumbags in the whole Wilson family. Normally, she could never get a chance to meet this so-called superstar up close and personal. Now that a golden opportunity had presented itself, she would only be letting herself down if she didnโt rough him up a bit.
"Why not? Take that!" With that, Aubree kicked him, and the man fell down into a heap again. She then clicked her tongue disdainfully as she watched him.
Aubree rubbed her chin thoughtfully. โNo wonder Bowen likes kicking people so much. Feels damn good.'
Clutching his stomach, Trevor doubled over in a fit of violent coughing and then suddenly retched, spewing out the alcohol he had just downed. He then struggled to get up. "Youโฆ"
Aubree thought Trevor wanted to give her some bullshit, but instead, his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
How pathetic. Aubree rolled her eyes, then turned to Birgitte. "Did you get all that on camera?"
"Yeah," Birgitte nodded.
Aubree felt very pleased. To think that an A-list superstar like Trevor Wilson was caught sneaking into a bar at night and then cornered by a bunch of unknown thugs, all because of some torrid love affair. She hadnโt planned on getting even with him yet, but the man had already presented himself to her on a silver platter. He was such a great brotherโฆ.
After giving Trevor a thorough beating, Aubree stalked off with Birgitte. She simply left the unconscious Trevor lying there.
In the end, it was Trevorโs agent who finally came and took him away.
Birgitte made sure Aubree got home safely first. Only then did she return to her own apartment with ease of mind.
Since Aubree had to come to Sรผdlichen Strand often, she had bought herself a luxury waterfront villa there. She had a good nightโs sleep and didnโt wake up until noon the next day.
Bowen Turner called her afterward and generally just asked about her.
Aubree chatted with him for a while before telling him about the financing matter. "Iโll probably need to stay here a bit longer."
Bowen didnโt ask Aubree why she didnโt approach him about investing. He knew she had her own way of doing things. Setting aside their relationship and background, Bowen had to acknowledge the fact that he and Aubree were still business rivals.
"Sure. Things are a little busy at the office now. When Iโm done, Iโll go to Sรผdlichen Strand and fetch you."
After ending the phone call, Aubree grabbed her laptop and started working.
She had to be fast in securing funding. Both Tengu Gruppe and Manchotech were industry giants. Her previous achievements were just a stepping stone, which was still not enough to convince these giants to invest directly.
Aubree was going over the latest data for GrabCheap. She knew that results were all that mattered.
It was already a major breakthrough that both corporations were willing to meet with her. Just as she expected, GrabCheap had been making waves lately, whether by grabbing market share from other e-commerce platforms or grabbing eyeballs on social media.
These corporations would never write Aubree off based on some rumors. After all, true entrepreneurs had sharp business acumen.
Once a money-making approach became common knowledge, it only meant that that strategy was no longer profitable.
The chairman of Tengu Gruppe arrived at a private dining room in a five-star hotel in Sรผdlichen Strand with his assistant in tow.
โQuirinus, what a pleasant surprise to see you here today! And this must be Alice, right? Are both of you back from Rithol City to visit family?โ
Sitting opposite the chairman of Tengu Gruppe were none other than Quirinus Diamonde, the current head of Phoenyra Jewelry owned by the Diamonde family, and Alice Diamonde.
โYouโre too kind, Mr. Dunn. I know youโre a busy man, so I didnโt want to impose on you. Actually, my sister Alice is here today to represent the Wilson family to discuss a potential collaboration with your office.โ
Quirinus was well aware that the Diamonde family no longer wielded as much influence now in Sรผdlichen Strand. The moment he mentioned the Wilson family, Mr. Dunn became interested. โOh? You have my attention.โ
