The Queen They Buried

Chapter 486

Carmen clenched her fists tightly and thought, Damn it. Does Aubree really have to go out of her way to mess with me?

What project doesn’t have risks? Is she really so scared I’ll get the funding that she has to blow BeeShare’s flaws way out of proportion?

At an event like this, Aubree, the young entrepreneur who always seemed to succeed at whatever she did, had real influence. In the investment world at the moment, even if Bowen showed up, his words might not carry as much weight as hers.

Aubree wasn’t just making baseless claims. She had hard data and solid analysis to back her up. Every question she threw out was a real issue that BeeShare was struggling with, and Garmen couldn’t answer a single one.

Carmen’s heart raced with panic. The slow user growth of BeeShare was the biggest problem right now.

She’d tried every marketing channel she could think of, but no matter how good her pitch was, it couldn’t compete with real discounts. In the end, her only option was to seek funding and use the money to solve current issues.
