Emmy raised an eyebrow and took the box. Opening it, she found a sleek, minimalist Smart Health Band. It was the flagship product launched earlier that year by the medical technology subsidiary of the Nelson Corporation. The band could accurately track heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and various other health metrics, making it incredibly popular on the current market. While the individual retail price was not staggering, multiplying that by the massive number of fans and staff at the venue meant this was by no means a small expense.
Somewhat surprised, Emmy carefully inspected the device to ensure it had not been tampered with. Placing it back into the box, she let out a faint laugh. "This Martha certainly knows how to buy goodwill."
Nina nodded vigorously in agreement. "She sure does! Not only did she hand out these expensive gifts, but I also asked around... she completely covered the venue rental and all the catering costs for our entire party today! My goodness, she is way too rich and way too generous!"
Emmy lightly tapped Nina on the forehead, her tone sharp and clear. "You silly girl, did you forget all those things you overheard earlier? She spent all this money and put on this massive show just to cast a wide net for a bigger catch. When has a corporate shark ever handed out free money? Her ultimate goal is definitely not that simple."
Holding her forehead, Nina muttered, "I know that, but by pulling a stunt like this, how are the fans outside supposed to know about all her scheming? Everyone walked away with something expensive, so they are definitely going to remember her kindness! This Martha is seriously cunning!"
James let out a cold sneer, his voice low and freezing. "That woman is selfish, jealous, and absolutely despises seeing anyone live better than she does. So no matter how generous she pretends to be on the surface, we must keep our guard up."
Emmy nodded in complete agreement. Just then, the doors to the VIP elevator slid open with a soft chime. James draped his arm over Emmy's shoulders and led her inside. Nina quickly followed. Once the doors closed, Emmy turned to the man beside her and asked, "How are things escalating between Martha and Brian right now? In your opinion, who has the higher chance of winning?"
