CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100: SIMILAR PRODUCTS

Desmond Fairchild’s lips slightly curled into a smile, looking deeply at Austin White; perhaps they could find out who the Shadow was that had previously infiltrated their company: "OK, I agree to collaborate with you."

"Good, before the new product launch is finalized, copy this file to the C drive. Rest assured, Ethan Lloyd, with his impulsive nature, will definitely upload it ahead of you."

This way, the Lloyd Group falls into Austin White’s carefully laid trap.

He anticipated that the Lloyd Group would want to rush to register the new product, so he specifically contrived a snare for Ethan, waiting for the Lloyd couple to fall for it.

The facts proved that this couple indeed lacked talent in business management.

The day after Melanie Lloyd obtained the new product’s information, she immediately began investing massively in production. At the same time, she presumptuously seized the trademark ahead of others.

At this moment, Melanie Lloyd is unaware that this is all a trap meticulously crafted by Austin White for them.

Elsewhere, when Seraphina Sinclair saw the Lloyd Group preemptively launched Cloudsea Group’s autumn products, she immediately took her computer and headed to Austin White’s room.

What puzzled Seraphina Sinclair was seeing Desmond Fairchild and Austin White in a room together! And they were at peace, not arguing.

The scene gave her goosebumps.

"Why are you two together?" Unable to hold back, Seraphina Sinclair voiced her doubts.

"Discussing business." The two responded simultaneously with these words.

"Why did you suddenly come to find me, godmother? Is something wrong?"

Seeing Seraphina Sinclair’s odd expression, Austin White proactively spoke up to lighten the mood.

Only then did Seraphina Sinclair remember her purpose; she immediately entered Austin White’s room and showed her computer to the two.

"Look, the Lloyd Group has registered our brand. What should we do next?"

Seraphina Sinclair initially sought out Austin White, hoping to strategize a countermeasure, perhaps he could directly crash the Lloyd Group’s system. Unexpectedly, Desmond was there too, so she directly inquired about the situation.

The autumn launch is crucial for both companies. With the current situation, Seraphina Sinclair believes Desmond Fairchild also wouldn’t want to see this happen.

"Hmm, I understand."

Yet, what Seraphina Sinclair didn’t anticipate was that when she cautiously informed Desmond Fairchild of such critical matters, the man remained unperturbed.

Seraphina Sinclair couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, suspecting that their joint presence could mean they were scheming; she raised an eyebrow: "President Fairchild, this isn’t very like you. Someone’s just stolen your brand registration and you remain composed?"

Austin White, seeing Seraphina Sinclair’s curious expression, couldn’t help but chuckle, speaking to her: "Godmother, don’t worry about this. I guarantee you’ll witness a spectacle tomorrow."

"So, did you anticipate all this?" Seraphina Sinclair asked, finally at ease.

Desmond Fairchild and Austin White exchanged meaningful glances and smiled.

After his conversation with Austin White, Desmond Fairchild immediately instructed Ace to prepare a fake project proposal and product samples to place in the C drive.

Meanwhile, Austin White restored all the Lloyd Group’s computers, naturally allowing Melanie Lloyd to regain the opportunity to monitor Desmond Fairchild.

When she opened her computer and discovered an inexplicable autumn product folder in Desmond Fairchild’s C drive, she was thrilled and immediately copied the contents to her own computer.

Desmond Fairchild is a meticulous person, naturally considering that Melanie Lloyd’s long-term surveillance of his computer would give her some insight into Cloudsea Group’s autumn products, so when fabricating the fake samples, he specifically requested Ace to ensure their authenticity.

Thus, the samples Melanie Lloyd obtained were largely related to both the performance and functions of Cloudsea Group’s new products.

Once Melanie Lloyd confirmed the material’s authenticity, she immediately called Shirley Lynch to discuss subsequent matters.

"Melanie, you are truly impressive! I’ve been asking people to find these documents all along, unfortunately without any news whatsoever."

Ever since Shirley Lynch reached a cooperation intention with Melanie Lloyd, she’d been seeking an opportunity to express her determination. While she initially hoped she could leverage the Lynch Family’s past connections to gather intel on the launch, unexpectedly, the Lynch Family was already notorious.

"Alright, I won’t blame you for not finding it because you still have a more important mission."

"Really? Just say the word, anything I can do, I’ll definitely go all out."

Shirley Lynch initially thought Melanie Lloyd wouldn’t employ her further, yet she unexpectedly still had a role to play.

Seeing Shirley Lynch’s expectant demeanor, Melanie Lloyd cut to the chase, expressing her thoughts: "These documents were hard-earned, so naturally, I’ll use them strategically. I recall the Lynches intending to enter the electronics industry; perhaps these new products can be launched by your company."

Melanie Lloyd’s decision was actually a means of self-preservation. Although obtaining the documents was a painstaking process, people could only gain a preliminary understanding of the product now, and whether it would benefit the market in the future depended on market research and genuine feedback.

For such risky projects, Melanie Lloyd naturally wouldn’t accept rashly, nor let Kevin reap the benefits alone, so entrusting them to Shirley Lynch was surely the best option.

Shirley Lynch, generally naive in business matters, was always pampered, and upon learning these documents were from Cloudsea Group’s research, she was completely convinced.

Having long lost her subjective judgment, her sole aim was to curry favor with Melanie Lloyd and rescue her company, disregarding everything else.

After hearing Melanie Lloyd’s words, Shirley Lynch immediately nodded and agreed, softly saying: "Melanie, thank you so much for this opportunity; trust me, I will ensure the product is announced before Cloudsea Group’s launch this Tuesday night!"

After the affair with Seraphina Sinclair, Shirley Lynch felt no emotional attachment to Desmond Fairchild anymore; if they were intent on eliminating her, then what she couldn’t have, she’d destroy!

Melanie Lloyd, observing the sinister look of the woman before her, knew Shirley Lynch’s hatred towards that couple might rival her own, allowing her troubled heart to slowly ease.

"Then I’ll entrust you with this matter. Once done beautifully, the Lloyd Group and the Lynch Family’s contract can be signed at any time, which would surely be a relief for your father."

On hearing these words, Shirley Lynch was immediately beaming, treating the document with immense importance. Upon returning, she immediately sent it to the marketing department, instructing them to arrange the online launch and related matters.

To deliver a fatal blow to Cloudsea Group, Shirley Lynch chose not to hold a new product launch but opted for an online release, quietly launching the software.

Next, she’ll sit back and enjoy Cloudsea Group’s embarrassment!

Without their products, what will they present at their own launch?!
