The scene was tragic.
One could say that the face was unbearable to look at.
As the girls caused a commotion, the reporters on the side also gathered around, adding fuel to the fire, saying, “Chairman Turner, we heard that your company’s cosmetics have issues. They cause acne when applied.”
“And there are also reports of swelling and pimples. How much compensation are you going to provide for this?”
“Will you take responsibility for this? If you don’t, then we, the reporters, have an obligation to expose this matter and bring down this unethical company, giving Yu Mountain City a bright future.”
Those reporters were all saying.
Isabella Turner’s face darkened. These people were colluding against them and immediately started accusing them.
Attempting to shift all blame onto them.
At that moment, Avril stood by a Porsche, wearing sunglasses, watching the scene with a slight smile. “In Yu Mountain City, money may not always be effective. Money is not all-powerful. For a cosmetics company, reputation is the most important. Once reputation is tarnished, no matter how they struggle, it’s futile.”
Once reputation is ruined, even if they have money to hire better endorsers or lower the price of cosmetics, they will not succeed. Because with a tarnished reputation, no one will buy their products. Bankruptcy is inevitable.
“Fortunately, I had foresight and chose to work with Gavin. The price they offered me was quite high. Cade, find a reporter and help me leak the news of leaving Isabella’s cosmetics company, you know what I mean.”
Avril said to the driver.
This driver was from Gavin’s team, specially sent to pick her up, showing his esteem for her. After all, her departure was a severe blow to Isabella’s cosmetics company.
With her reputation, perhaps she could still mitigate this issue. But if she left, Isabella’s cosmetics company would be in serious trouble. Unless they heal those girls and find a new endorser.
However, this made Gavin and Avril both scoff. How could it be possible? These acne and skin problems were not ordinary ones. They were complex conditions that had accumulated over the years and couldn’t be cured by normal means.
“Let’s go. Isabella’s cosmetics company is on the brink of collapse.”
Avril got into the car and headed towards Monse Group.
While in the car, Avril wanted to see Isabella Turner’s drama and immediately started a live broadcast. Many authors were already watching the commotion orchestrated by Monse Group in Yu Mountain City.
People were watching this live broadcast. After all, Isabella Turner was the heiress of the Turner family. And here, in the crowd, a reporter received some information and quickly pushed to the front, shouting, “Chairman Turner, we have received information that Avril has terminated her contract with your company. It’s said that she despised the fake ingredients in your cosmetics and left, stating that she only supports ethical businesses like Monse Group.”
“Chairman Turner, is this true?”
“Chairman Turner, can you explain why you are using fake ingredients in cosmetics and why you are harming your customers?”
The reporters’ accusations became more and more twisted, as if they were already condemning Isabella’s cosmetics company. After all, they were paid to do their job.
However, Isabella Turner’s face turned extremely dark. If she didn’t say anything now, the matter would be settled. She waved her hand and said, “Stop, listen to me, stop.”
The reporters stopped and aimed their cameras at Isabella Turner. They wanted to know what she had to say.
“Firstly, are you sure you used our cosmetics?”
Isabella Turner asked the girls.
The girls nodded and took out a product from their bags. “It’s this one, 2LK model. Our faces were fine, but after using it, this happened.”
“This one!”
Isabella Turner was about to point out that these girls had old scars on their faces, not caused by the product. Some of the acne and skin issues were difficult to treat, even with skincare products.
She was experienced in this field and could immediately tell that these were old scars, so the company couldn’t be blamed. But this particular product, 2LK, was indeed problematic. It was an unqualified product. The company had only pre-sold a few and then recalled them.
It did cause discomfort.
“We barely sold this product, and we even recalled it. Where did you purchase it from?” Isabella Turner’s expression changed, filled with doubt.
“It was bought from your company, with receipts.”
The girls took out their phones and showed Isabella Turner. Some even had receipts. Isabella Turner’s face darkened, and she quickly called someone from the company, whispering, “Quickly investigate what’s happening.”
“Yes.”
The person went to check and returned shortly. He whispered to Isabella Turner, “Boss, there are over a dozen units that haven’t been recalled. It was Lorelei who did it. She said she had a relative who wanted to study it and took them.”
“What.”
Isabella Turner gritted her teeth. It was Lorelei. She was genuinely angry at Lorelei. She had been kind to Lorelei, unlike how Elise Houry was to Priya Bates. But Lorelei always opposed her. And now, she had planted such a big thorn.
A hidden agenda!
It made Isabella’s head spin. The situation needed to be resolved despite the chaos. She said, “Everyone, there may have been a misunderstanding in this matter, but our company is willing to compensate you.”
“We don’t want compensation. We want our original faces.”
“Yes, we don’t want money. We just want our original, innocent faces back.”
“Compensate me by restoring my face.”
The girls angrily shouted at Isabella Turner. The reporters behind them escalated further, alleging, “Chairman Turner, there has been a misunderstanding in this matter. Why the need for compensation? Are you trying to cover up your actions? Investigating the truth of the matter is the responsibility of the media.”
“Down with unethical companies, down with Isabella’s company.”
