Adam Qult was incomprehensive as he watched the might in which public opinion shifted favorably on Vernon.
He had become the object of widespread sympathy as the fickle netizens bashed the drug authority and the interpol for not fact checking before deeming him a drug-user.These were the same netizens who bashed and heightened the scandal for their own amusement.But now they were worshipping him.
Adam was immensely flabbergasted at how the boycott on River Technologies new robotic invention stopped like it did not happen in the first place.Same with the stocks.They all bounced back significantly and stronger than it was before.Even a business magnate like him did not have that much power to manage that so well.So how the hell did his foster son do it?
Obviously,he had trained a docile cat into a wild one.The old man was a bit frightful.His leash on his foster son was gone.There is nothing else to keep the wild cat in check.Worse, is that he couldn't change him now.It was already too late.
The old man gave out a regretful sigh,he had nothing but his impotency to blame for everything.

"The ads requests and endorsement deals are all coming back.
PIAGEL and SILVERIST want you to be their top global ambassador."
Vernon took a long drag from his cigarette and puff a thick cloud of smoke into the air.Obscuring his face.
Out of everything Luke reported,Only one word interested him.The last word or brand-name. "SILVERIST...?? The newest designer brand that started a year ago?"
"Yes.The same one." Luke answered.
SILVERIST began operating over a year ago.They deal in designer perfumes,watches and women and men's underwear.They were said to be doing quite well but still way behind other giant designer brands.
Reaching out to him for an ambassadorial deal was a huge leap for them.Could they even afford his payment?
Vernon had planned on rejecting all offers.He was layed off from all his endorsements when his drug scandal hit.Now they were running back to him with deals as the drug claims were all dismissed.
He hadn't endorsed for SILVERIST before.
"Accept SILVERIST.Reject all others."
Vernon wanted to raise the brand with his high celebrity status and also to throw dust at the big name designers.
"Are you sure about that?" Luke asked.Vernon answered with a smirk.He was already reeling from just imagining how smooth his revenge would be against; BVUGARI, LACOSTE, PRADA and the likes of them.Vernon stopped smirking when he remembered something.Today was the day she would be returning from the filming site.
The major end of the year award ceremony show was less than a week away.All of his old songs re-entered the charts, dominating it with a perfect-all-kill.He had been nominated in sixteen different categories and he was surely going to walk away with at least seven.
But Vernon did not look forward to that at all.
He wanted to create a highlight at the event.something different.
