Chapter 687: The Woodward Family’s Decline
Jasper Sinclair made an "OK" gesture to Nora Northwood, his wrist lifted revealing the gold outer ring of the Patek Philippe, flashing brightly.
The public relations manager was momentarily lost in thought, pondering what it’s like to wear a watch worth hundreds of millions.
Nora didn’t give him much time to daze off and called him back to focus, continuing the small meeting: "Using VK’s official blog, sort out the timeline, demand an explanation from Rachel Woodward, and if necessary, employ legal means. The legal team will fully cooperate."
After that, everyone understood that Nora wanted to bring down the Woodward Family.
Megan Underwood and Yvonne Winslow exchanged a glance, both on the same page without discussing it.
Based on their understanding of Nora, they only thought she would target Rachel Woodward alone.
They didn’t expect that the entire Woodward Enterprises would be involved.
Yvonne opened her mouth to say something but saw Jasper Sinclair place a business card on the coffee table.
"This is my assistant. If you encounter any difficulties, he will help resolve them."
He still had no expression, but every move conveyed: I’m backing Nora Northwood.
With that, Yvonne swallowed down the words in her throat.
She originally wanted to ask: After all, the Woodward Family has a foundation built over decades; being rash in opposition might lead to trouble.
Now, observing further, with Jasper Sinclair as a strong backing, what’s there to worry about?
The small meeting concluded just in time for the end of the workday.
The daylight was still present, with sunset postponed quite a bit, and Nora had reserved a restaurant, inviting a few people for dinner.
On the side, she also invited Lily Sloan.
The public relations manager wasn’t particularly close with everyone, so using the excuse of "picking up the kids," he left work on time.
The Cantonese Cuisine Palace.
The chandelier in the private room was bright as day, giving a suitable ambiance.
The wooden windows were slightly ajar, and through the narrow gap, one could catch a glimpse of the bustling traffic on Silvercreek Road.
It was just the rush hour after work, with the scene on the street seemingly deliberately slowed down in a film.
After the group entered the private room and took their seats, everyone present was considered part of the inner circle, having accompanied Nora since VK’s inception, thus lacking unnecessary pleasantries and small talk.
Megan Underwood gave a thumbs up, almost wanting to tap Nora’s forehead, "Sis Nora, you were so fierce today! We need to let that Rachel Woodward girl know we’re not easy to bully!"
The pleasure in Megan’s tone was evident.
Her personality was the boldest among the group, and she had long been displeased with the Woodward Family’s style of conduct.
If it weren’t for Nora’s motto being "harmony is precious," she would have torn Rachel Woodward apart long ago.
Around the round table, only Lily Sloan looked puzzled, not knowing why Megan was so joyful.
Her curious look had nowhere to rest, anxiously stomping her feet under the table, "What happened? Why don’t I know anything?"
Megan, seeing how anxious she was, couldn’t help teasing, "Busy falling in love recently, you no longer have eyes for our group of good sisters."
Just as those words fell, the phone next to Lily Sloan rang.
"Is it a check-in call?" Nora chuckled and asked.
Lily Sloan covered the mouthpiece, picking up the call as the others egged Finnian Lawrence to come over.
They were all old acquaintances, so Finnian had no reason to refuse and gladly agreed.
By the time the meal was over, the internet had already undergone drastic changes.
Lily Sloan was the first to notice that the trending keywords on Weibo had shifted from entertainment news to terms like "originality" and "plagiarism."
