The host said, "Previously, someone caught you and Mr. Larson leaving a pet hospital together. I'd like to ask if the Amber Group ever received funding from the Larson Group through him?"
As always, gossip was an eternal favorite.
Serena had seen this coming. She smiled gently.
"That wouldn't be true if I said the funding is totally unrelated to him. But instead of saying he helped me out of personal interest, I'd say Amber Group earned the Larson Group's support through our own strength. As for any so-called 'personal interest,' if tutoring me in finance behind closed doors counts, then sure, maybe quite a bit."
She gave the camera a playful wink, her tone suggestive.
The livestream chat exploded instantly.
"People keep saying marrying Mr. Larson is like marrying an emotionless iceberg, but I think landing this ultimate bachelor looks pretty sweet! I'm flunking finance. Mr. Larson, come tutor me too!"
"Excuse me, but you're not Serena Jansen. Why would you get that kind of special treatment? Mr. Larson and Ms. Jansen, please bless me for not failing my finance course. My whole startup project is modeled after Amber Group!"
"So, in the end, it's just her husband pulling strings. The so-called female entrepreneur is just selling herself."
"What a gross comment. If you've got the same strings, go sell yourself then."
Before that last argument could fully ignite, the real-time comments in the livestream were shut down.
Under the post of Javerton City Economic Channel official account, a row of question marks popped up.
"Sure, those comments were nasty, but killing the chat that fast? Seriously?"
"Anyone still unaware that this channel's backed by the Larson Group? I bet it was Mr. Larson who shut it down."
"Do you think Mr. Larson has nothing better to do than shut down the real-time comments of a livestream?"
On the other side of the screen, Hugh's expression darkened visibly.
Behind him, Chandler wiped the sweat off his brow.
