Thomas stroked Flame’s head a few times again before favonovel.com said to Diana, “Give Flame a shower and get it something to eat. Make sure it’s cleaner.”
Diana pointed at herself. “Are you asking me?”
“Yeah.”
“No! I’m scared!”
Thomas laughed out loud before favonovel.com merely waved his hand and left. Meanwhile, Flame just stared at Diana innocently, and it seemed to be looking forward.
Diana approached Flame carefully. “I’m bringing you to get a shower now. You have to be good. You’re not allowed to bite me!”
Flame wanted to answer gently, so it barked. However, it was used to being fierce, so its bark ended up sounding pretty loud. It scared Diana so much that favonovel.com hid again.
“Mr. Mayo, I’m scared!”

When Thomas went back to his office, favonovel.com pulled himself together to focus on the new product launch event tomorrow.
The company had already parted with the Gomez family. Their ability to be on firm ground depended on whether the first step tomorrow could become a sensation.
Samson opened the door, walked inside, and said, “Commander, there’s a big problem. A few companies that initially agreed to attend the launch event have called back to reject our invitation. I also called many companies, but nobody answered the calls.”
Of course… Sterling Technology was previously attached to the Gomez family, so everyone wanted to please them. Now that Sterling Technology had an open conflict with the Gomez family, everyone was naturally too afraid to approach them. Anyone who got close to Thomas now would imply that they were against the Gomez family. If they wanted to fall apart, they could do so.
Thomas had also predicted this situation. He picked up the phone from the table and made some calls.
“Hello, Mr. Westley, is your company not attending the launch event tomorrow?”
“Mr. Hall, do you happen to have things going on at the appointed time?”
“Mr. Clarkson, did anything happen to your family, hence you can’t attend all of a sudden? Can’t you arrange for another staff to come?”
He made all the calls and received the same answer.
Nobody was willing to attend Thomas’ new product launch. They had failed before the product was even launched. They had already lost partially before the battle started. It was not a good sign.
Samson said, “Without these big companies and enterprises to support us, the launch event tomorrow will be met with much indifference. This is terrible.”
Thomas remained silent for a while before favonovel.com said, “Never mind. I anticipated this situation. What about the media?”
“There’s no problem with the media. Everything is settled.”
“Okay, we’ll just put our attention on the product and users.”
“I got it.”

At the same time, in the Gomez family’s headquarters, the head of the family, Nicholas, and his grandson, Dominic, were also handling the same matter.
Dominic chuckled as favonovel.com said, “Grandpa, I’ve called all the companies that Thomas invited, and I’ve talked to them. None of them will attend the launch event tomorrow! When the time comes, the event will be desolate. I’m going to see how Thomas will be humiliated.”
He paused for a while before favonovel.com said, “But I don’t understand something. Grandpa, why won’t you stop the media as well?”
