Chapter 316

They had to keep the news about Manchotech’s investment under wraps for now. If the news were to leak out prematurely, it would inevitably attract unwanted attention at a stage when GrabCheap needed more time to develop.

After landing Manchotech’s investment, Birgitte and her team were completely fired up. Aubree couldn’t help but marvel at how motivated her team was. Then a thought popped into her head. “Maybe 1 should give them a chance to shine?”

Mark King hailed from the prominent King family in Rithol City with powerful connections to the political elite and the military. Mark himself served in the military. His eldest brother and youngest brother both entered politics, while his youngest sister joined a theater group affiliated with the ruling political party.
