Chapter 387:

Finally, the day for the two new product launch events arrived.

Corbett conducted the event in the morning. He highlighted the mobile phone’s features, including its camera capabilities and chip, demonstrating how smoothly the phone operated, even under heavy usage, without overheating or slowing down. This addressed the common issue of mobile phones lagging during high-demand situations.

At the event’s conclusion, Corbett announced, “We’ve secured an exclusive deal with MT Evan Grant. The chip his team has developed is exclusive to our phones. For now, no chip can match ours. Our phone offers the smoothest user experience.”

His statement sparked a surge in buying interest. The allure of exclusivity always draws attention. Corbett set the price at $12,888. Though it was pricey, the phone’s longevity and performance justified its cost.

Following the event, Corbett’s company saw a swift increase in orders, reaching over one hundred thousand within an hour—a record in the mobile phone industry. As the number of orders kept climbing, Corbett couldn’t help but laugh with joy. He was determined to take over the Klein Group.

Meanwhile, preparations for the Klein Group’s product launch event were underway. Elaine, Glenn, and Madisyn were present, sitting at the floral-decorated table. Glenn remarked, “Phone sales have topped one hundred thousand. It’s unprecedented!”

“Corbett has really nailed the marketing,” Madisyn commented. “Exclusivity always sparks people’s interest. Everyone wants something unique.”

Elaine expressed her concern, saying, “We still don’t know what Andrew has planned. What if Corbett actually wins the inheritance this time?”

She wasn’t concerned for herself but for her daughter. What would happen to her if Andrew lost his inheritance and his position in the Klein family? Tatiana would surely mock Madisyn for this.

“Mrs. Johns, I think it’s best not to worry,” said a familiar voice. It was Tatiana, who had swapped seats with someone else to sit next to Elaine.

Upon seeing Tatiana, Elaine looked displeased and said, “I wasn’t talking to you.”

“Mrs. Johns, I just want to give you a heads up that Andrew is bound to lose this time, and Corbett will rightfully be the new leader of the Klein family. It’s a shame that you will be disappointed and won’t become the wife of the leader of the Klein Group,” Tatiana said, her lips curling into a smug smile.

She vividly remembered the humiliation she had felt when the Johns family criticized her for breaking off her engagement and how embarrassed she had been when others mocked her.

But she hadn’t done anything wrong!

She had waited for Howard for years. Surely she was entitled to her own life, right? Was she expected to wait for Howard forever just because he had saved her? That would be cruel. The Johns family must have expected that from her, which made them selfish.

In the past, Tatiana would have been intimidated by the Johns family. But now, she felt no fear.

Elaine’s expression grew even darker. As the mistress of the Johns family, she was well-respected and never acted haughty. It was because of her kindness that she had initially agreed to Tatiana’s marriage to Howard. She hadn’t anticipated that Tatiana would be so ungrateful and even ridicule her.

“The world has certainly changed. Now even the despicable can mock those who helped them,” Madisyn said coolly.

“Madisyn, stop. How long has it been? Why bring up old stories? Besides, I didn’t leave Howard right away; I waited for him for years!” Tatiana retorted, her voice tense with frustration.

Madisyn scoffed. “Without Howard, would you even be here to talk? You’d have been long gone.”

Tatiana was taken aback.

A few seconds later, she responded coldly, “What’s done is done. Others would have saved me too, but they wouldn’t be as unreasonable as your family.” Her words astonished everyone.

With a smirk, Madisyn clapped her hands and said, “Yes, Howard saved you. And for that, we became unreasonable.”

Her voice caught the attention of many people. The attendees of the event were all members of the technology community.

Tatiana, known as Corbett’s girlfriend, was recognized by everyone. Yet, Madisyn’s words had revived a mostly forgotten history.

While some refrained from criticizing Tatiana out of respect for Corbett, there were always those driven by a strong sense of justice who weren’t intimidated by him. “Isn’t she Corbett’s girlfriend? Why is she arguing with the Johns family? How could she be ungrateful to them? Howard risked his life to save her.”

“I really admired Howard back then. Learning this made me feel awful. It turns out Tatiana really didn’t deserve to be saved.”

“The Fernandez family has always been disgusting. They don’t match up to the Johns family at all. The Johns family agreed to the marriage out of goodwill, only to be betrayed by the Fernandez family. We should keep our distance from the Fernandez family. They’re nothing but trouble!”
