No one would pay for something they could get for free anyway. After the launch of GenX, Aubree raked in another fortune.
On the other hand, at the Wilson family estate, Bryan quickly realized what Aubree was doing with those video platforms as soon as he received the latest news. “So it was mini dramas all along,” he muttered.
“Seriously…” he muttered, his eyes reflecting more jealousy than admiration. He thought bitterly. ‘Spending just a few hundred thousand dollars and reaping hundreds of millions? That’s practically free money!
Bryan clenched his fists, a cold glint in his eyes. ‘Aubree Miller, she’s my biggest threat now!
At first, he felt guilty for how they had treated her during those three years. But now, he felt a mix of anger and grim satisfaction. If Aubree had stayed loyal to the Wilson family and brought them these lucrative projects, there might not have been any place for him in the group.
He exhaled slowly. Honestly, being enemies had probably been the best outcome for both of them. He thought, ‘Don’t worry, Aubree. Once you crash and burn, that’s when I’ll finally step up as your brother.
For now, he needed to take action. After a long period of hesitation, Bryan finally made up his mind. He picked up his phone and dialed. A woman’s voice answered on the other end. “Let’s talk,” she said.
Bryan wasn’t the only one left in shock; the entire Wilson family was astonished, pondering just how many more surprises Aubree had ready for
them.
Alice felt deeply threatened. She kept praying that Ronald would arrive soon. Daxton sighed inwardly. Aubree had already become a menace, and if she ever returned to the Wilson family, he was determined to do whatever it took to prevent her from bullying Carmen.
Ronald, however, was thrilled. Previously, he had merely admired Aubree’s distinctive creativity, but now he was genuinely impressed by her keen business instincts. Recognizing a new opportunity in an already saturated market was not just a stroke of luck–it exemplified the kind of foresight that every true entrepreneur should possess.
He was eager for Aubree to return to the Wilson family and rejoin the Wilson Group. ‘I need to pick up the pace,‘ he thought.
Meanwhile, Carmen had already launched her shared e–bike venture. She invested 3 million dollars of her own money to establish the company and began deploying bikes in Rithol City and Südlichen Strand.
As the adopted daughter of the Wilson family, she had lived with them for over a decade and had managed to save a substantial amount of money. After starting college, she utilized her painting skills by holding art exhibitions and selling several pieces, which provided her with additional funds to invest in her project.
But that wasn’t all–Carmen also drew confidence from the Diamonde family. Though the project was assigned to her, Ernesto wasn’t just watching from the sidelines. Backed by the Diamonde Group, he invested 6 million dollars for a 20 percent stake. This time, Carmen had to succeed–only then could the Diamonde family hope to gain control of the Wilson Group.
“This project builds on the foundation laid by those who came before us, aiming to improve it further. Remember the excitement surrounding shared e–bikes when they first took off? Well, shared e–bikes are even more convenient and faster. Overall, e–bikes have the advantage,” Carmen stated confidently.
“This time, it’s completely different from MindDrift–I have the support of the Diamonde family. Aubree, I was just one move behind last time and lost to you, but this time, I’m determined to join the Wilson Group before you do!
“The Wilson family will be mine, and you’ll always be the one I step on. Just like those three years, I’m going to keep you beneath my heel!”
Carmen was brimming with confidence. She wasn’t foolish; on the contrary, she was astute and had a genuine instinct for business. If Aubree hadn’t been so captivating, Carmen would have truly stood out in her own right,
