Chapter 2222 The event kicked off with a bang, and the excitement for what followed was through the roof. The Vinci Rivera Group even brought in a Hollywood heavyweight-a recipient of the prestigious Oscar LifetAchievement Award-as their ambassador, engaging directly with the audience.
As the electronic gadgets and drones wrapped up their showcase, despite more than half the thaving elapsed, the crowd's enthusiasm showed no signs of waning.

In the audience, Stella watched the charming and sharp-witted figure on stage. Her heart raced with each beat, her mind consumed with one thought: "That remarkable man up there is my husband." A wave of pride washed over her, suddenly understanding why speople chose to propose on stage-it was like staking a claim to sovereignty.
Suppressing her lovesick thoughts, Stella refocused on the presentation.
Keegan explained, "To be honest, we hadn't planned on showcasing it today. But we made a promise long ago, and it's also the most anticipated product in this lineup, based on the highest online votes for 'Most Anticipated New Product.' So, we're making an exception."

"They poured over two hundred billion into R&D last year. The price won't be low. There are only thirty thousand available in the first batch; doubt anyone can get their hands on one."
It seemed like Stella's worries about sales were for naught. Keegan m mentioned a seven-figure price. Were customers truly that optimistic? Vermont tapped her arm, passing her the phone. "Someone forged a severance letter between Keegan and his mom. Looks real." Stella glanced at it, unfazed. "Then it must be."
