Chapter 387: The Eldest Young Master Law, A New Height of Spoiling His Wife!
In modern society, integrity is the foundation of being human.
Someone may profit from a moment of cleverness, but sooner or later they will pay a bigger price for it.
Cecilia Vaughn understands this truth deeply. She genuinely wants to help some people, not waste money on pointless sounds, waiting to squander the consultation time she bought dearly on those who don’t need it.
Adrian Law heard Cecilia Vaughn’s train of thought and a faint smile played on his lips.
"Cecilia, this is too kind. People who waste resources like that aren’t even likely to get into our company’s system."
Kind?
"..."
Cecilia Vaughn looked at Adrian Law in confusion, but then she saw him casually pick up his phone, log into the Law Group’s official account, and repost Cecilia Vaughn’s statement on Weibo.
At the same time, he added a few extra words.
——Those proven to have faked their need for charity aid will never be hired by our company, and we will cease all business dealings with them.
The term "business dealings" is expansive; it’s far more than just rejecting job applications.
Bear in mind, the Radiant Group is only slightly known in Stellerton, whereas the Law Family is a legacy family with a huge influence across all Veridia and even the entire world.
The Law Group covers various sectors like electronics IT, food and dining, leisure and entertainment, private banking, online retail, and even residential real estate. No one can claim they’ve never used a product from the Law Group.
Even if they don’t need it now, what about in the future?
Being blacklisted by the Law Group could affect someone’s entire life.
From another perspective, completely avoiding the Law Group’s products, though painful, would undoubtedly be like wearing a heavy shackle for the rest of one’s life, just to see what the value of thousands in consultancy fees is for. It’s just not worth it!
...
Adrian Law’s actions shocked everyone across the board.
Soon after, the trending topic exploded again.
#TheEldestYoungMasterLawDefendsHisLady#
Responses and comments under the repost surged within seconds.
——The Crown Prince Law’s wife-pampering has reached a new height. This dog food is truly toxic. It’s literally the novel’s male lead complete with the willingness to defy the world for you. Single dogs are sure to be envious!
——Wow, can it be done like this? Who said the Crown Prince Law and the Vaughn Family’s eldest daughter are in a sham marriage? I also want a husband who spoils me like this.
——Where do you find such a rich, handsome, and devoted man? I’m already at the civil bureau, can the government arrange one for me?
——Wake up upstairs, time for your meds.
Joking aside, some people who originally signed up for the Radiant Group’s free psychological counseling for fun quickly canceled their registration if they were even slightly smart.
Most of them had never experienced sexual violence or harassment. In Veridia, with its conservative customs and strict views on female chastity, true victims of such incidents are often too afraid to seek help.
For many, it’s an unseen scar, something they would rather hide in a corner and lick their wounds alone for a lifetime.
Some may find self-healing, while others can only sink into depression.
...
Ten minutes later, the number of Weibo applicants dropped from thousands to just a few dozen.
This was quite unexpected for Cecilia Vaughn. Nonetheless, consultant Chester Quinn used to charge by the minute, and Cecilia Vaughn had scheduled him for three days this week. This time there were no selections, just ordered by rank.
Cecilia Vaughn pressed the registration deadline button and briefly scanned the ages of the applicants, with the oldest nearing fifty and the youngest only in their early teens, still in middle school.
Her heart skipped a beat; she was the least able to bear such news. Just imagining it made her heart ache.
It’s no wonder professional psychological consultants charge so much. They are akin to a combination of a confidante and life coach, listening to so much darkness without external relief, helping victims out of psychological pitfalls; these are things ordinary people can’t provide.
...
Three days passed. Because of Cecilia Vaughn’s intriguing romantic history and her complex background, she was repeatedly a trending topic.
However, Cecilia Vaughn didn’t let this change her mindset. She continued attending her classes at Stellerton University, practicing the Ancient Zither, and made time for the Radiant Group.
Her Stellerton University desk mate, Bella Prescott, only now realized that besides being Fiona Vaughn’s sister and Adrian Law’s wife, Cecilia Vaughn was also the head of the Radiant Group.
"Wow, Cecilia, I admire you so much. You’re the ultimate winner in life, directly inheriting the family business. For ordinary people like us, when we graduate we still have to tirelessly look for jobs and maybe even be dismissed for being too inexperienced..."
Cecilia Vaughn lightly tapped Bella Prescott on the forehead, smiling with her lips upturned, exposing her pearly teeth.
"If you want, you can report to the Radiant Group."
"..."
Bella Prescott’s eyes widened in shock, and after regaining her composure, she quickly clung to Cecilia Vaughn’s arm flatteringly.
"Goddess, please shelter me!"
"Actually, Radiant isn’t the industry leader. There are many other better options in our field. Plus, I can only say that I can hire you, but if you’re dismissed for poor performance, you can’t blame me."
Bella Prescott solemnly nodded, then clenched her fists.
"Got it, got it. Learn from the great! I’ll work hard!"
"You, first make sure you don’t fail ’The Iron Nun’s’ class this semester!"
Cecilia Vaughn chuckled, just about to tease Bella Prescott when suddenly, someone lightly patted her shoulder.
In front of her, soon a shadow covered the space.
Cecilia Vaughn paused, looking up to a remarkably handsome and exotic half-blood face.
It was Sean Grant.
A vampire-like graceful youth.
"Classmate Grant, do you need something?"
"I saw your letter at the department head’s, so I brought it along."
Sean Grant succinctly handed over a luxurious envelope with a golden hue, labeled only with "To Cecilia Vaughn," with no sender.
Who in this age would go out of their way to send her a letter?
"Okay, thank you."
Cecilia Vaughn took it blankly, a trace of deep thought on her brow.
With so many classmates around, she couldn’t very well open the envelope and check its contents.
And Sean Grant seemed to sense her curiosity, not questioning further, instead mentioning the new charitable association Cecilia Vaughn had organized.
"Classmate Vaughn... why does your charity association only offer aid to women?"
Cecilia Vaughn: "..."
Right, boys could encounter such situations too, especially young boys, although the probability is several times lower than females.
Bella Prescott gave Sean Grant a flirtatious look, making funny gestures and expressions.
"Campus Prince Grant, do you have such troubles too?"
"Just asking."
Sean Grant shook his head lightly and then left without a backward glance.
...
The class bell rang, and everyone took their seats.
Cecilia Vaughn took a deep breath, took the envelope from her desk, and carefully opened it...
What would be inside?
