"Yeah," Xavier responded as he pulled out the gift from Charles. Upon opening it, his brows furrowed slightly.
Winter leaned in to take a look and found there were two items; one was a global travel package, and the other was a document specifically for Winter.
Winter took the document, and her eyes lit up. "It's an endorsement deal with CMC! Gosh, that's such a prestigious Estodian brand. Charles really has such wide connections!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Compared to the travel package, Winter was far more thrilled about the endorsement. After all, it was not money she lacked but time. This endorsement represented something much more too—fashion resources and a potential increase in her status, which were crucial for her standing in the entertainment industry.
"Gosh!" Winter was practically over the moon. "Xavier, I just love you so much!" she exclaimed, planting a kiss on Xavier's lips, entirely missing how dark his expression had become.
To Xavier, such a gift felt like a slap in the face. He was not lacking in money, but Winter lacked resources, and that was exactly what Charles could provide.
"I need to get in touch with Jane immediately. I have to make the most of this opportunity!" Winter was already planning her next move.
Meanwhile, reports of yesterday's wedding between the popular star and the wealthy heir had quickly dominated major entertainment news sections, even making their way into the financial news.
When Ronald presented the news clippings to Charles, he could not help but click his tongue in disapproval. "Mr. Hoffman, these press releases were all put out by Winter's agent, Jane. Royal Star had no prior knowledge of it."
Charles casually glanced at the headlines, which were all quite similar, with phrases like 'a match made in heaven' and 'a perfect couple', showing no originality whatsoever. "Anything else?"
"Brian has already taken Mrs. Hoffman to West City. It seems he's intent on training her well."
