Three Treasures: Spoiled Wife Goes Wild-Chapter 1697: Merchants Never Act Without Profit

Charlotte Thompson propped up her cheek, smiling as she spoke:

"So, Mr. Howard, have you ever considered that this set of drafts is actually just a semi-finished product?"

However, after thinking for a while, the unnatural expression on Grayson Howard’s face disappeared without a trace. He sneered, his gaze intense.

"Miss Thompson, your lie won’t convince anyone. If you had the ability to clarify, why would you come to me?"

These design drawings, from clothing to accessories, were already a complete set. How could they possibly be a semi-finished product as Charlotte said?

"Mr. Howard, I’m here to propose a collaboration." Charlotte spoke softly.

"I think whatever conditions that person can offer you, I can offer as well."

"What do you mean by that?" Grayson narrowed his eyes.

"Your decision to speak at this moment is simply a move against Riley Group. Now, due to the plagiarism incident, Riley Group’s stock price has plummeted, and even some subsidiaries are on the brink of collapse. The timing is perfect to strike against Riley Group, which is exactly your objective."

Charlotte spoke with a calm expression, "Riley Group is the leader of the fashion industry in Druarus. There aren’t many enterprises that dare compete with Riley Group commercially, so the person who can contact you must be the one."

At this point, Charlotte paused.

Even without mentioning the person’s name, Charlotte could tell from Grayson’s expression that her guess was completely correct.

The person Grayson teamed up with was indeed Leon Battleson.

"Mr. Howard, so would you consider reconsidering your collaboration partner?"

Grayson hesitated for a moment, then unexpectedly smiled at Charlotte: "So what conditions can you offer me?"

A hint of a smile flashed in Charlotte’s bright eyes. She then adjusted an interface on her phone and showed it to Grayson.

Seeing Charlotte’s phone, Grayson was visibly surprised.

"This, this is the work of the master sculptor Alexander Smith, in your possession?"

"After all, I’m here to discuss a collaboration. Understanding a partner’s interests is only natural, isn’t it?"

Charlotte straightened her posture, smiling brightly, "My grandfather had some friendship with Mr. Smith. Back when he retired, my grandfather was fortunate enough to acquire a few of his works."

At his core, Grayson was still a businessman. Businessmen go where the profit is. If she offered better terms, why wouldn’t he collaborate with her?

"Well then, I hope Miss Thompson will keep her word." Grayson nodded and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help Miss Thompson?"

"I hope Mr. Howard will register a company and then propose collaborations with Riley Group’s subsidiaries."

"Register a company?" Grayson looked at Charlotte, surprised, as a smile appeared on her face.

...

After wrapping up matters with Grayson, Charlotte initially intended to return to Riley Group, but unexpectedly received a call from Annie Anne.

It had been quite a while since she last contacted Annie Anne, so naturally, Charlotte eagerly answered the call.

"Annie..."

"Charlotte, come over here and pick up Annie." The voice of Annie Anne rang through the phone without hesitation.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing, simply agreeing to Annie Anne’s words.

"When should I come over?"

"Now."
