Chapter 307
Ronald thought for a moment before saying, “Carmen’s got real talent. Let her truly settle down and devote
herself to her studies. With the family’s support, it won't be difficult for her to beca rising star in the art
world.
“As for the Turner family, they're not to be trifled with so easily. Aubree...”
Just saying her nleft a bitter taste in his mouth. He sighed, “Let’s try to get her to forgive us.”
Daxton knew when to back off. After all, it was enough if Ronald had the intention to deal with the Turner family.
Meanwhile, Aubree and Bowen had left Kroit City together, with one returning to Rithol City and the other to
Sudlichen Strand. Upon landing, Bowen went straight to see Alvin and told him about the two human traffickers.
“Now that we've identified them, once Mark finds them, it'll all be over. You can focus on your studies with peace
of mind. If you wanna join the company, I'll make the arrangements. If not, just go and beca renowned
artist.”
“Okay,” Alvin replied. This time, he didn’t argue further with Bowen.
After Bowen left, Alvin picked up the photo, his gaze lingering on Gordon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlvin thought to himself, ‘I'm not an idiot. can tell Bowen is hiding something about this-something he doesn’t
wantto know.
‘I know Mark is only helpingout of respect for him. But | can’t just take everything at face value, can I?*
Then he sent out the photo with a text: [Dig into this guy.]
Upon arriving in Sidlichen Strand, Aubree focused on company affairs. GrabCheap’s business model was running
smoothly, with user growth holding steady beyond the initial launch. Still, that alone wasn’t enough to secure a
foothold in the competitive e-commerce market.
Just having an idea wasn’t enough for success. And truthfully, without the backing of the Turner Group from the
start, she wouldn't have cthis far so easily.
The skepticism surrounding her wasn’t entirely unfounded. The e-commerce platform market was indeed
saturated at the moment. The market was saturated, and although she had gained a temporary edge through
innovative moves, she knew it would take more to stay ahead.
With the peak season for fresh produce behind them, GrabCheap’s group-buying revenue began to dip. But with
attention shifting away from fresh goods, it was the perfect opportunity to promote other product categories.
The tech team completed system upgrades to support Aubree’s full-category expansion strategy. With a solid
user base now, she began weighing her options for external funding.
Aubree thought, ‘If it were just about money, | could cover that myself. But fundraising isn’t just about bringing
in cash.’
She thought of Playzy. In its early days, it landed investments from both the Turner Group and the Matthews
family-a move that kept competitors from acting rashly. The real value of fundraising was finding strong partners
to share the risk.
Aubree had already invested heavily in GrabCheap. If she sought funding, minor investors were out of the
question. Only three major players stood out: ChumBuy under Turner Group, JinnCee under Wilson Group, and
Tengu Gruppe, the local giant in Stdlichen Strand.
Naturally, Aubree crossed JinnCee off her list right away. Going to Bowen for a deal with Tengu Gruppe would've
been the easiest move, but easy didn’t mean smart.
She thought, “Turner Group already owns 30% of Bree Technology. Whether | stay partnered with them or not,
they're not just going to let us crash and burn.
‘lI can’t let the business rely too much on them. | won't be in a position where they can shut things down. It's
tto branch out, bring in new partners, and figure out how to buy back the shares Bowen's still holding.
Besides Tengu Gruppe, Aubree also had her eye on Manchotech, a former collaborator,
