When she saw Jaime, Sophie hurriedly stopped in her tracks and silently turned to the side, so as not to be recognized by him.
At the same time, she secretly glanced at Jaime, who was twenty to thirty meters away. When she saw her elder brother's overly attentive and flattering look in front of Dorothy, she suddenly felt a little disgusted.
She abruptly felt that all of the men in the Schulz family had a very strong sense of motive and purpose i n everything that they did.
Take her father, Sheldon, as an example. Both of his daughters had nearly died in Sophie's grandfather's hands, but when Sophie’s grandfather needed Sheldon to come out to put on a front and keep up appearances, Sheldon was still able to drop everything and return to her grandfather's side to play the role of a filial son. 3
In the final analysis, it was all because of his desire to compete for the position as the heir of the Schulz family.
His daughter was not as important in the face of this purpose.
As for her brother, it was also the same case.
A few days ago, he had continued standing on his grandfather’s side even after finding out the fact that his grandfather was the one who had harmed Sophie and his mother.
It could be seen from this point alone that his pursuit o f merit was comparable to that of his father's.
It was the same for Quinn.
Even with so many things happening at home one after the other, Jaime's pursuit of Quinn had never been affected in any way. There had never even been a momentary pause. Right now, even though only Quinn’s agency team was here at the airport, Jaime had personally come to the airport to greet them. This proved how attentive he truly was. 2
Jaime had come to pick Dorothy and her team up early in the morning because he wanted to take the indirect route in order to please and curry favor with the people around Quinn first. 4
He felt that as long as he made these people feel that h e was a good man with good intentions, these people would definitely say good things about him in front of Quinn.
In his opinion, most women might seem to be very opinionated, but in actual fact, they did not have much independent opinion and determination at the end.
So, he spent money to bribe the team responsible for the concert's sound and lighting as well as the
choreography team behind Quinn's team’s back. After that, he replaced the sound, lighting, and other hardware equipment for Quinn’s concert with those that were of top-level from the Olympic opening ceremony. 5
The freight costs alone for this equipment from abroad already cost millions of dollars. Coupled with the equipment rental and commissioning costs, the overall expenditure had already exceeded thirty million dollars.
There would only be tens of thousands of people participating in this concert. The price of a concert ticket ranged from one to two thousand dollars to two t o three hundred thousand dollars. Taking into account the median, the per capita concert ticket price would only be one thousand dollars, and the total box office revenue for tens of thousands of people would be merely tens of millions of dollars. 3
If it were any other team, it would be impossible for them to spend thirty million dollars to build the onsite equipment because this way, even if all of the concert tickets were sold out, they would make a loss o f at least fifteen million dollars. 3
Nevertheless, Jaime did not care.
