Chapter 462: The Little Western-Style House’s New Neighbor
The next day.
When Nora Northwood went out to work, she noticed the neighbors were moving houses. She overheard a few security guards chatting, "Didn’t this family just move in? Why are they moving again?"
"I heard they suddenly came into some money, planning to move to a large flat in the city center."
"No wonder."
"... ..."
Nora didn’t hear any more after that.
At the company, Lily Sloan showed her an article. The title was quite innovative, taking the moral high ground, titled "Heartless Fragrances that Take Lives," which already had hundreds of thousands of shares.
"Nora, don’t read the comments, just look at the article." Lily emphasized again and again.
When Nora clicked the link, her palms were already sweating.
She read through it, full of condemnation.
At the end, there were a few photos and a short video taken out of context.
In the photos, Lily was pushing that man.
In the video, the man spoke offensively, claiming his wife had a miscarriage because of VK’s product.
The truth was only known to those present that day.
The short video, uploaded for just over twenty seconds, was not the full story, with a hint of provoking trouble.
The reading volume was several times higher than the share volume, clearly someone was behind promoting it.
The top comment: "Dreaming of turning a small workshop into a high-end brand, tripped before even launching."
Nora couldn’t read more after a few comments.
Lily comforted her, she was trembling with anger, unable to grip her purse tightly.
"I’ll handle this quickly."
Nora left this sentence and went back to her office.
She pondered how she could counterattack gracefully, should she continue using old tricks?
In the midst of the struggle, she received a call from Jasper Sinclair.
No need to think deeply, she knew Jasper was here to give her advice.
Although Nora didn’t want to rely on him, his suggestions always cut straight to the point.
After half a minute, she still picked up the call.
"Mr. Sinclair." Her tone was detached.
Jasper didn’t take it to heart, slowly analyzing the root of the matter, "Think about it, did you offend anyone recently? Someone is taking advantage of the situation, deliberately editing videos, trying to defame VK. As the brand, you don’t need to respond, let your products speak for themselves."
The man said a bunch but didn’t get a word of response.
Unconsciously raising his tone, "Nora, are you listening to me?"
"I listened." Nora paused, then shared her thoughts, "I want to use this wave of attention to launch the Twenty-Four Solar Terms series, and hold the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the same time."
"You can."
Jasper’s affirmation was undoubtedly a reassurance for Nora, clearing the gloom from the morning.
Immediately, she decided to schedule the ribbon-cutting ceremony for this weekend, to ride on her wave of attention.
...
Another evening working late into the night.
When Nora returned to the little mansion, she found several new cars parked downstairs.
Upon closer inspection, weren’t those car plates from the Sinclair Family?
Just when she suspected Jasper might have sneaked into her home, the side door of the neighboring building opened.
"Back from work?"
Jasper Sinclair’s figure was straight as a pine, staring directly at her from a few meters away, his gaze sharp and alive, a faint smile on his lips.
"What are you doing here?" Nora replied with a question.
Suddenly, the scenes from the morning when she left flashed through her mind, along with the conversation between the security guards.
She twitched her lips, could the new neighbor be Jasper?
