Chapter 574: I Think I Saw Him
The number of perfumers the Woodward Family can present is not many; otherwise, they wouldn’t have developed so tepidly in the industry over the years, even attempting to rely on the Sinclair Family as a pillar.
Lynn Woodward’s desire to have her niece marry Jasper Sinclair has never extinguished; on the contrary, during the recent time when he and Nora Northwood are facing a divorce, it has grown even stronger.
VK is different.
Megan Underwood, Nora Northwood, Shane Hamilton... No matter who is singled out, they are among the elite in the industry.
The protracted battle between the two families eventually concluded with the Woodward Family unable to hold on, which also contributed to VK’s early market launch.
"We’ll see about that!"
Rachel Woodward was forced to drop her pretenses of a noblewoman and fiercely warned.
Nora Northwood’s thoughts withdrew from memories of the past two months as she responded indifferently, "I’ll be waiting."
The more indifferent her response, the more Rachel Woodward gritted her teeth in hatred!
Leaving behind the person stomping her feet in frustration, Nora Northwood returned to the auditorium filled with a thousand attendees, elegantly alone.
Upon returning, she noticed most of the guests had found their places according to their name cards. She approached Yvonne Winslow, who was busy attending to guests, to ask, "Have you double-checked the guest list for the invitations?"
"Yes, I checked it at least three times to ensure nothing was missed."
Yvonne Winslow thought to herself: she almost abused her power to send an invitation to Rhys Linden!
Yet, Rhys Linden has absolutely no connection to this industry whatsoever, not even through the back door.
"Great job. After today, everyone will get a day off."
"Thank you, Director Nora. The host is already in place, you should hurry back to your seat, you need to give a speech shortly."
Afterwards, Nora Northwood returned to her seat in the center of the front row, quietly waiting for the host to commence the conference.
"What took you so long?" Elaine asked her.
"Ran into some colleagues, had a bit of a chat."
On the stage, the lights suddenly dimmed and then gathered at the center stage as the host began the opening speech for the conference, immediately followed by thunderous applause.
"Next, I will introduce the key figures today, namely VK’s Chairman Nora Northwood, who also serves as VK’s Chief Perfumer... VK’s investor, Ms. Elaine..."
Each introduction was met with a burst of loud applause.
Aside from leaders in the military and political circle, all the people of note in Stanton City were gathered here.
This clearly showed Nora Northwood’s status today.
After the introductions, the main characters were invited on stage to introduce VK’s development path.
Before this, Nora Northwood had penned countless drafts.
Heartfelt, commercial, official speeches... in the end, none were as effective as her impromptu delivery.
Clutching the textured microphone tightly, she began not by introducing herself but by recounting the history of fragrance development in the country.
"In ancient times, there were incense sticks, a crystallization of the ancients’ wisdom, infusing floral and woody scents into a plate of ashes..."
With such narration, the guests were naturally stirred with a sense of patriotism. Even those not in the industry felt compelled to contribute, however modestly.
This is the charm of language.
Nora Northwood glanced at the audience, squinting into the void for a few seconds as if searching for something.
Has Jasper Sinclair returned?
She clearly saw a dignified man; who else could possess such an aura if not him?
But upon seeking again, there was only a fleeting shadow left.
As the applause gradually subsided, Nora Northwood was forced to refocus her thoughts on the stage.
At this crucial moment, she could not afford to falter.
