Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 396: Career Planning

"VK is currently at a bottleneck. As for the studio, I can’t think of a better way to break through, so I want to establish a formal brand company."

Nora Northwood worried that Jasper Sinclair might not fully understand what she meant, so she added at the end: "Like Galante."

Galante indeed brought her a multi-layered sensory experience.

"Nora, I’m glad you’re willing to openly discuss your work plans with me. Your new company is almost ready, only the final interior decorations remain."

Nora was surprised, realizing that Jasper had done so much for her behind the scenes.

"I’ll pay the rent regularly, just consider it as..."

Her words were interrupted: "This building was originally a surprise gift for you. In the near future, it will become a new landmark in Stanton City, boasting a prime river view, and under your leadership, it will reach the international stage."

Nora didn’t refuse anymore; she knew that with her current capabilities, she couldn’t own a building solely for VK in such a short time. This landmark was undoubtedly her booster.

"Thank you, Jasper."

Hundreds of words condensed into a single sentence.

...

The Woodward Family’s celebration banquet was held as scheduled.

Nora was invited to attend, and Jasper worried that Rachel Woodward might play tricks at the banquet, so he showed up halfway through the event.

Seeing his figure at the main venue, Nora was surprised: "Why are you here?"

She knew well that a celebration banquet of this scale wouldn’t interest Jasper Sinclair at all.

"I happened to have some time and came to take a look."

Today, Nora wore a smoky gray long dress, with her smooth long hair styled in waves, looking dramatically different from usual — enough to make her stand out.

Jasper stared at her, his eyes tracing the curves of her waist, too blatant.

"Turns out that even where I can’t see, Nora can be so alluring."

"Does it look bad?"

"She could rival a celestial beauty."

Figures mingled, glasses clinked, small groups of friends or business partners gathered.

Rachel Woodward, upon noticing Jasper’s arrival at the banquet hall, narcissistically assumed he came for her and immediately approached.

"Cousin, I didn’t expect you to come."

Usually, she exuded a strong, mature sensual aura, but now she intentionally played the coy little woman, which felt very awkward.

"Hmm."

Jasper’s demeanor couldn’t be colder.

"Speaking of which, this project should have belonged to The Sinclair Group. I was present during the bidding, and I heard it was because the Sinclair Group’s early-stage capital flow was insufficient that they lost."

Rachel tried to find a common topic between them to stir Jasper’s interest.

Jasper recalled something, subtly smiled with one part sarcasm, nine parts mockery.

The manipulative woman opposite him was captivated by that smile, losing her composure and too overwhelmed to analyze its true meaning.

She continued, "The Sinclair Group is a leader in the medical industry in Stanton City, cousin, don’t you feel this loss is regrettable?"

"No."

"So you won’t blame the Woodward Family for snatching your business?"

Finding her chatter insufferable, Jasper straightforwardly brought Liam Jacobs’ matter to light.

"You had Liam stage a hero-saving-the-damsel act, then took advantage of the situation to place someone by my side, all just to seize this business, right?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Rachel froze on the spot.
