She sneered. Just <b>a </b>few meaningless words from Trevor, and the Yurchenko family was already acting like they’d been handed a gift from heaven. <b>They </b>were <b>too </b><b>easy </b>to manipte.
She wasn’t in a hurry. Calmly, <b>she </b>showed the matter to Sophia. <b>“</b>Trevor really is the dream of every girl. Look how he’s still standing up for his <b>ex</b>. Storm passes<b>, </b>and <b>he’s </b>right there cleaning up the mess<b>.” </b>
When Aubree said it, the whole thing took on <b>a </b>different tone.
Sophia couldn’t help but <b>feel </b>jealous. Compared to Milena, she felt utterly inferior.
Sophia said, “My baby can do the amniotic fluid test now. Once <b>it’s </b>confirmed, how do you want to handle it?”
Aubree thought for a moment. “Well, the bigger the scene<b>, </b>the better.”
“Isn’t that Golden Flower Award ceremonying up for Trevor? <b>I’ll </b>arrange for you <i>to </i>attend. Cause <b>a </b>scene. Let’s see how he handles it.” She smiled slyly.
Since she already knew that the Yurchenko and Wilson families <b>had </b>joined forces to target GrabCheap, Aubree gave Birgitte a heads–up. Any unusual signs should be <b>treated </b>with caution.
The Yurchenko family, which had been on its <bst </b>legs, suddenly <b>recovered</b>. Online bacsh faded, the Wilson family invested, and the Diamonde family helped open doors. Everyone had thought offending <b>Bree </b>Technology and the Turner Group would mean the Yurchenko family <b>was </b>done for<b>, </b>but to everyone’s surprise<b>, </b>they’d managed to find a way out.
While others were waiting for Aubree’s next move<b>, </b>nothing happened.
Even Quantavius was a little surprised. He <b>had </b>assumed that teaming up with the Wilson family would provoke Aubree. At the very least, she’d show some sort of reaction. But she didn’t do anything.
Even Birgitte continued showing up for work like nothing was wrong.
The Yurchenko family had caught its breath and stabilized. For now, they weren’t making any new moves.
Aubree maintained <i>a </i>“no action unless provoked” strategy while staying vignt.
Meanwhile, GrabCheap’s performance <b>was </b>skyrocketing. The data exploded by several hundred times. Not only were there ads on every major tform, but they <b>were </b>all over subways and public <b>spaces </b>too. Moreover, Zappy was saturated with ads.
As a partner, Manchotech gave them full support. Their social media posts <b>were </b>flooded with GrabCheap ads.
The campaign had gone viral. It <b>was </b>a full–on marketing blitz.
The folks over at Manchotech <b>were </b>the most hyped about this. The <b>team </b>at <b>Bree </b>Technology was surprised by the results, but it was pretty much what they expected. The Manchotech <b>crew</b><b>, </b>on the other hand, <b>was </b>absolutely floored by the numbers Bree Technology brought to the table.
No one was more thrilled than Dmytro. This <b>was </b>his project<b>. </b>The <b>better </b><b>it </b>performed, the more impressive his resume, and the bigger his bonus.
“How did you do it? Just through ad spending<b>?</b><b>” </b>he <b>asked </b>Aubree over the phone.
“Of course not,” Aubree replied confidently. “Weunched a ‘Billion Dors Subsidy‘ campaign. We say it’s a billion dors, but the real investment is far less<b>. </b><b>At </b><b>least</b><b>, </b>for now.”
The subsidy campaign was designed to <bst </b><b>a </b>long time<b>. </b>And if things kept going at this <b>pace</b><b>, </b>actually investing a full billion dors wouldn’t be impossible in the <b>future</b><b>. </b>
Dmytro was stunned. ‘Damn<b>, </b>she’s got some guts<b>!</b>‘
“Aren’t you worried you won’t get that money back<b>?</b><b>” </b>he asked.
“If you’re afraid of everything in business, how can you ever make money?” Aubree shot back.
Dmytro had to agree. Regardless of worries, the data spoke for itself. Aubree was winning. A few billion dors in investment had bought them a massive user base. GrabCheap’s registered users had surpassed 100 million, possibly long before this.

Sure, volume wasn’t everything. But with a base this huge, even a 10% retention rate would be terrifying.
And clearly, GrabCheap <b>was </b>just getting started.
“We’re going to need more investment down the line,” Aubree said.
Dmytro immediately understood. She <b>was </b>asking for more funds.
