<b>Chapter </b>445
The news that <b>Trevor’s </b><b>new </b>drama would be filming while airing <b>spread </b>quickly. The <b>premiere </b><b>is </b>set for next week, and while some people <b>are </b>excited, others are puzzled as to why he would suddenly choose this approach when everything seemed to be going well.
Typically, this method was employed only when production funds were <b>low</b>–they would air the initial episodes to generate revenue before they could afford to shoot the remainder. However, Trevor wasn’t experiencing that issue.

Some marketing ounts began to stir up controversy<b>, </b>iming that mini–dramas are currently all the rage. Numerous popr shows were beingpared and critiqued, with <b>viewers </b><b>suggesting </b>that even the most popr <b>series </b>are less entertaining than these mini dramas. Some even bluntly spected that <b>Trevor </b><b>was </b>merely trying to make a point.
Regardless of Trevor’s true intentions, his new drama <b>was </b><b>set </b>to be released, and the excitement was unavoidable. Some marketing ounts were already eager, preparing <b>to </bpare his show to the popr mini dramas currently trending.
Aubree didn’t <b>care </b>what Trevor <b>was </b>up to; she thought he was being foolish. She was the mastermind behind the mini dramas but was not involved in filming, so no me was attributed to her. Trevor, front and center in his show, would bear all the criticism if it failed.
She had no time for his childish antics. Aubree wasn’t simply trying to steal his attention for a moment–she aimed to ensure Trevor would remain stuck in the mud for good. At that moment, she <b>was </b>engrossed in Bree Technology’stest financial reports. All of her investments <b>were </b>finally beginning <b>to </b>yield returns.
Smaller projects were put aside; the gaming division alone was generating substantial profits. Randall’s emphasis on female–oriented games had created an entirely new niche in the market. The studio’s gship “Warm Love Series” had garnered a massive yer base from the moment itunched, and the merchandise tie–ins proved quite profitable.
But the <b>real </b>money–maker was Marlin Studios. Their unique open–world exploration game had hit the market like a bomb, quickly rivaling the poprity of League of Legends and raking in fistfuls of profits. All the other smaller projects were adding up as well, bringing in a nice chunk of change.
As time progressed, the gaming aspect began to lose momentum. Aubree had already resolved to support only Randall’s Paper Dreams Studio and Marlin Studios, withdrawing her investments from all other game projects and reallocating those funds into some innovative industries instead.
Aside from everything else, the top priority had been Zappy’s international business. With Aidan’s support, Zappyunched in Odiond and quickly expanded, already showing remarkable influence.
Aubree was determined to expand Zappy globally and secure international funding. While the Matthews family in Odiond was <b>a </b>solid starting point, it wasn’t sufficient on its own–she needed additional corporate capital to seed. That was the only way to achieve significant growth.
Conducting business abroad was undeniably challenging. Despite different passports, the same brutal tactics were applied–businesspeople everywhere yed hardball. Once foreign investors saw the potential of short videos, without strong support, she would have been the first pioneer pushed out. She was determined to keep growing and getting stronger.
While Aubree was making progress, Carmen was not idle either. She quickly reached out to manufacturers to begin mass–producing electric bikes tailored to her specifications.
After starting college<b>, </b>Carmen double–majored in finance and management in addition to her primary field of study. While her university may not have the same educational resources as Rithol University, its overall quality was impressive. Describing her as a top student was certainly justified.
Carmen was intelligent and had a genuine talent for business–even Aubree had to acknowledge that she excelled in that field. If she received the proper training, she could potentially be as capable as Bryan.
When Ernesto assigned this project to Carmen, it initially appeared to be a goldmine, but the risks were equally substantial. Learning from the MindDrift debacle, Carmen approached this opportunity with extra caution.
