CHAPTER 207: DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR DESPERATE MEASURES

"I teach myself."

Recently Yvonne went around every day for Shining’s business.

Zachary knew how tired she was.

He learned a lot about cosmetics to help her, but she didn’t notice that.

Zachary was a business genius. It didn’t take him much time to figure out a set of processes in the cosmetics industry.

At the same time, he got a general idea of how to use some of the products.

Such as lipsticks.

He had known the product well beforehand; thus, the promotion was exceptionally successful.

The product was good, and a handsome man made the show more successful. Within minutes, lipsticks were sold out! "Oh no! Can’t we buy more?"

"I just bought ten...but I still want to buy more." "Ten? Come on, please leave some for us!" The lipsticks were out of stock!

Their goal was to sell half of them, but the sales turned out to be much better than what they had expected.

The scene that Zachary puts lipstick on Yvonne’s lips did impress the audience.

Countless female netizens squealed with excitement when they saw the handsome man.

Zachary was attractive and sexy.

*

The next day, the news about Shining’s sales went hot search.

At the same time, the gossip that Elena was not dedicated to her work with poor business skills, also prevailed in the Internet.

Last night, Elena did make a mess of the show.

In the wake of the live streaming, many brands decided to terminate the contract signed with Elena.

She claimed that she didn’t care about the sales of products, which annoyed a lot of brands.

Elena knew nothing about the products and failed to introduce them properly. She even kept talking bad about it!

Elena and her agent were in big troubles.

She lost her reputation and was criticized on social media platforms.

During this period, the lawsuit between Fragrance and Shining began.

In three days, there would be a trial.

Shining’s new product was a triumph, and it soon defeated Belle Lipstick of Fragrance

However, as for the lawsuit, strong evidence hadn’t been found yet.

Yvonne had some proofs, but they weren’t powerful enough to destroy Fragrance once and for all.

The likelihood of her winning the lawsuit was probably pretty high.

Yvonne was not sure about that, so she still felt anxious.

It hadn’t been long since the Constellation Lipstick was released.

Everyone knew that Shining had a fierce competition against Fragrance. It would be a big blow to Shining if Yvonne lost at this point.

The best outcome was that the product also sold better than Fragrance and Yvonne would win the lawsuit.

This was the only way to hit back!

Therefore, for the past few days, Yvonne had been worried about the evidence.

She had fallen asleep at her desk in the office for several days.

One day, when Eva came to Shining to sign a contract, she heard some gossips.

"Have you heard it? Our company is about to have a lawsuit. Miss Taylor has been anxious for several days in a row!"

"Yes, Miss Taylor really works hard. Though she married a rich husband and her parents are wealthy, she still works in the company day and night. We probably would lose the lawsuit. That’s why she’s so anxious."

"I once heard that the lawyer said there wasn’t enough evidence..." Eva overheard those comments clearly.

...

Leaving Shining, Eva got into a taxi.

The driver, seeing her anxious look, asked with concern.

"Where are you going, Miss?"

"Sorry, I’ll make a call."

Eva said, dialing the number.

"Where are you?"

On the other end of the line, there was a cacophony of voice.

There was the laughter of men and women as well as the noise of music. It might be in a bar.

"What is it?"

The voice was oppressive.

Eva took a deep breath.

"It’s that thing we talked about last time."

There was a half-second of silence on the phone.

Then came the man’s slightly deep voice. "I’ll send you an address and you go there." After that, he hung up the phone straight away! *

In Hiltonan.

By coincidence, Nicholas didn’t return to Zoravia today.

At Night KTV, many plump, beautiful women were ogling him tonight.

Those women were interested in him, but they didn’t dare to approach him because of his status and aura.

But it didn’t stop them from watching him.

Just then, they saw him get a phone call and stand up.

The man beside him asked him where he was going, and he only said two words, "Excuse me." Then he left.

*

Fairmont Hotel.

Eva came down to the hotel.

Before she could even say a word, a waiter greeted her.

"Hello, is this Ms. Loraine?"

"I am." Eva looked puzzled.

The waiter looked at her and said, "Mr. Brown has specifically told me to hand over the room card to you when you arrive."

After saying that, the waiter took out a scented card holder with a card of the presidential suite room.

Eva, "..."

When she saw the address was a hotel, she fooled herself that maybe he just wanted to talk about business at the hotel and that was it.

But he even had someone give her the room card.

His intention was clear.

Eva blushed with embarrassment and didn’t take the room card.

"Would you please call him for me and tell him that I am waiting for him in the lobby?"

Eva then headed towards the couch in the lobby.

"Stand there."

Just then, a low voice came behind her.

Eva stopped walking and saw the well-dressed man behind her from the lobby mirror.

He had been waiting for her here for a long time. Seeing her refuse the room card, he felt mixed emotions Nicholas was a little bit older than Zachary.

The two both had good dispositions and attractive faces, but Nicholas’s features were not as delicate as Zachary’s, which made Nicholas look wild and sexy.

Though he was in suit, he couldn’t hide the wildness.

He walked up with one hand in his pocket, standing straight in front of her.

"The food of the hotel is awful. Come with me."

Then, he walked out of the hotel’s revolving door.

...

Eva held back and followed him out of the hotel.

The black Bintley was already parked in front of the door. When he saw Eva refuse to get into the car, he rolled down the car window slowly.

Nicholas looked at the glass in front of him and said, "If I want to fuck you, I could do it anytime, anywhere, not just in a hotel room or my car."

...

She didn’t expect him to see through her mind.

The indifferent Eva actually blushed!

"Crazy!"

Then, she got into the car and slammed the door.

In the evening, the black Bintley went away.

No one saw Nicholas’s faint smile.

*

The next day.

It was only one day left before the trial started.

Yvonne didn’t give up looking for evidence.

Just as she was fretting, a secretary knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Miss Taylor, here’s a delivery for you."

"From who?"

"Not sure, but it’s been checked and there are no dangerous items inside." Yvonne nodded and opened it herself.

When she unwrapped it, she completely froze!

Inside was a document.

More importantly, it was about the Jordan’s relative who stole Shining’s design and sold it to Fragrance!

Besides, according to document, the person who refused to cooperate with Yvonne before, was actually willing to be the witness!

Yvonne hurriedly called Zachary.

However, unexpectedly, Zachary did not answer the phone.

Yvonne put the phone down and asked again.

"Who sent this?"

"I don’t know."

"Is it Zachary?"

"No. It isn’t Mr. Leinster’s secretary either."

Yvonne firstly thought that Zachary gathered the information for her.

She then wondered, "If it is Zachary, he doesn’t have to hide it from me."

Thinking of this, Zachary still decided to go to the Leinster Group and ask him herself.

*

The headquarters of the Leinster Group.

Tomorrow the trial would start. Zachary was busy helping Yvonne secretly these days.

But just then, there was a noise outside!

"Zachary, what else do you want? Do you have to destroy us all?!"

"Hey, you can’t go in. Please stop..."

Nobody knew how Jordan went in the company.

The female secretary apologized, "Mr. Leinster, sorry, I didn’t stop..."

"Don’t worry. You can leave."

Zachary looked at Jordan indifferently and arrogantly.

Zachary didn’t say anything, but his look was sarcastic enough.

Jordan was irritated by the look.

"Zachary, what the fuck do you and Yvonne want to do? What did you force my uncle to say yesterday?!"

Zachary looked at Jordan in front of him contemptuously.

"Jordan, see a doctor if you lose your mind. Don’t mess around in my company. Are you tired of life?"

Jordan was more furious!

"Yes." Jordan answered. Desperate times called for desperate measures. Jordan was no longer a gentleman. He incriminated Jodie and confessed, "As for Elena’s event, I suggested it. However, Jodie was the one who really carried out the plan! It’s none of my business at all!

"Why are you threatening my uncle? Do you have to screw me?"

"Your uncle?"

Zachary remembered the man.

"You mean the one who stole Shining’s designs, don’t you?"

Zachary didn’t know exactly what Jordan was talking about. According to Jordan’s words, Zachary concluded that Jordan’s uncle was held hostage last night and it had something to do with what happened to Shining.

Zachary squinted as he thought about it.

Yvonne is looking for proofs, but she doesn’t get any direct ones.

Since Jordan confessed, I just make use of him.

"Shouldn’t he be punished for infringing intellectual property right?"
