The party went full swing after my disappointing episode. I watched the scene from the stairs.
Chris seemed to have forgotten about his real wife’s daughter. He only had eyes for his illegitimate daughter, Grace. He pushed her toward Ken as if she were a product and tried to get him to like her.
Grace’s face was flushed red. She secretly used her eyes to express her love for him. She tried her best to make herself look like a reserved and demure lady.
She knew that Ken has never lacked beautiful women who were passionate and chased after him. However, Ken was unmoved by those people.
Therefore, she felt that she would catch Ken’s eye if she acted differently and like a real lady.
“Come, Grace, hurry up and pour Mr. Ken some wine.” Chris winked.
Ken smiled elegantly. He turned around and took a glass of champagne from the waiter’s tray. He raised it towards the two of them and indicated that there was no need for it.
Grace pursed her lips and awkwardly put down the wine glass.
I could not help it and curled the corners of my mouth. I thought that Ken’s willpower was pretty good. He was completely different from those brats who foolishly surrounded Grace.
Chris frowned for a short while before smiling again. “Mr. Ken, you will definitely be interested in this! This is a product that my eldest daughter Grace has spent a lot of effort to develop!”
Grace smiled confidently. She took out a sample and introduced it. “This is the product that the Flying Bird is about to release. It’s called Radiant Foundation. It uses a secret herbal formula and is different from all the other products on the market. After using it for a long time, it could even help to whiten and smoothen the skin!”
Her words were full of hype. Although Ken was not a professional make-up expert, he saw the huge potential commercial value of the product as a professional investment expert.
“In other words, the competitiveness of your product will be this exclusive company. However, in other aspects, such as marketing and distribution channels, you are still lacking. Hence, you need stronger decision-making and a strong injection of capital.”
Grace was noncommittal. Although Ken’s words were direct, they did have something to ask of him. However, her pride and self-esteem did not allow her to fawn over him and beg for mercy.
“Yes, you were right. However, I am very confident in my work. If you invested in us, we would definitely bring you benefits. Mr. Ken, you are so rich. You have invested in so many companies every year, even the mediocre Maria’s Hospital. Why wouldn’t you invest in us?”
Of course, she had a point, but it was clear that she did not understand.
Moreover, she had unwittingly committed a moral offense towards him and revealed her contempt for the other projects Ken has funded, and for Maria’s Hospital.
I could guess why she hated Maria’s Hospital, simply because it was where I lived.
She hated me!
Chris echoed Grace’s words and urged Ken to make a decision. He also flattered him as he was afraid that he would not have such a good opportunity to see Ken after the party ends.
“Our project is really good. Mr. Ken, don’t miss it. Among so many investors, the one we trust the most and feel the most capable would be you! Don’t let down our trust in you!”
Ken smiled and did not say anything. He politely gave a perfunctory reply and said that he needed to go to the bathroom.
Did he not receive a lot of flattery? Chris’ words were only a whisper to him.
The father and daughter pair were harmonious with each other. It was clear that they had specially set up this trap and invited him over. It was as if they were treating him as prey that they were determined to get.
However, their words were too full of themselves. In the business world, people were most afraid of being self-righteous. Too much confidence would only blind their eyes.
However, as for the product itself, it left a deep impression on Ken.
He was also very curious. Product development would be a tough and tedious work, but this girl was dressed beautifully. Her hands did not have any calluses, and she even had a gorgeous and complicated manicure.
How could such a woman do experiments in a boring laboratory? Was she a genius at inventing new products?
He wondered.
