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 thepetition!


    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 andforted him, "Father, rest assured. We''ll win thispetition." "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?” hemented 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!


    Some wealthy people did not even mind queueing for the entire day just to get their hands on


    Poulenc''s products. They were happy with no negativity.


    The luxury store was filled with people.


    Charmine had hired a few hundred models to help up with the sales, yet they were still heavily


    upied.


    Countless reporters came over to interview them all.


    All of a sudden...


    Just as people filled the store, Wave suddenly announced that all their skincare products were going 90


    percent off!


    Despite many boycotting Wave online and a handful of wealthy individuals scorned Wave, this price


    was too attractive to pass out on!


    Poulenc, the local brand, was selling at their original price while imported luxury brands were


    discounted! The contrast was big!


    There were not many rich people in Burlington, and most of them were busy and ordinary people.


    They could not afford those expensive products that cost thousands and millions. After the discount,


    Wave was selling at less than 1,000 bucks!


    The crowd no longer cared about the whole D''Cruz family scandal; it would be silly to not get the deals.

    Instantly, countless people rushed into Wave''s physical store and dropped thousands to spend.


    Wave’s retail stores were filled with people in just about ten minutes, and people lined up at every


    corner.


    Within half a day, their sales almost caught up to Poulenc''s.


    After Poulenc had shut down for the day, Wave remained open for 24 hours, which allowed those from


    other cities or countries to buy their skincare products as soon as possible.


    This shocking news went all over the world. A lot of people even spent thousands of bucks to take the


    ne to Burlington, just to buy a set of Wave''s skincare products.
