Chapter 1858
The store manager could hardly believe Fredrick’s words and gaped at him.
Waverly was just as startled as she blurted, also halted, "Father, we're already incurring losses, but we can cut the loss and get some money back. I'll go back to Kansas with you." "No!" Fredrick looked at Waverly and said, "I only have you left. Max has changed, and I won't let you lose the competition! Even if I lose all my money, I want my daughter to win with honor!"
Fredrick then signaled to the store manager. "Do as I say!”
The store manager looked at Waverly warily.
Waverly could only nod. "Listen to my father." "Yes, Madam!"
With that, the store manager went ahead to do as he was told.
Waverly hugged Fredrick and comforted him, "Father, rest assured. We'll win this competition." "Okay." Fredrick looked at her listlessly. "Go and do what you wish, Waverly. I'm tired, so I’ll go and get some rest." "Rest well, Father." Waverly helped him to get in. "Leave the shop to me.”
Fredrick nodded. Like a tense string snapping, his big figure crumbled.
He walked to the side of the bed and fixed his dull eyes on a framed photo.
It was a family photo of all three of them: himself, Max, and Waverly.
Fredrick took the photo and fixed his eyes on Max, his shaking fingers reaching out to graze the image of his son and lingering.
He then hugged the frame tightly.
Fredrick's handsome face was etched with pain, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Why were you so foolish, my son?” he lamented hoarsely. "Why did you take this path and ruined your life?"
After Wave had been boycotted, Poulenc's sales were better than ever. Their online shops had broken the record of 60 billion sales within half an hour, while their retail shops were crammed with people!
