Chapter 669: Lifting a Stone to Smash One’s Own Foot

Book:The Warlord Is Back Published:2024-5-31

As time slowly passed by, all eyes were on the woman in the front through the numerous cameras.
At this moment, almost all the people in Yu Mountain City were watching this livestream, as Gavin had gone to great lengths to humiliate Isabella’s cosmetics company, capturing the attention of the entire city. The order from above was clear: bring down Isabella’s cosmetics company. And they had indeed gone all out.
“Just let me watch this company go bankrupt before my eyes,” Gavin said, a smile on his face.
Lorelei felt the same way.
Avril, who had just arrived at the Monse Group building, felt the same way.
However, at that moment on the livestream, the woman suddenly covered her face, a look of surprise on her face. “My… my face is starting to itch,” she said, somewhat panic-stricken.
Beside her, Isabella Turner quickly reassured her, “It’s a normal reaction, just wait a little longer.” But a reporter on the side, likely bribed, maliciously suggested, “Is this itching? Perhaps, like your previous cosmetics, it’s also harmful and will make your face even worse. Better to remove it now, so it doesn’t worsen later.”
He was manipulating the girl. If she removed the mask now, regardless of whether it would help, the outcome would be set in stone. Though he knew it might not work, better safe than sorry.
The girl’s face changed color, a mix of fear and uncertainty, but after a moment’s pause, she said, “Even if this is a negative reaction, so what? How much worse could it get than before? Besides, it’s not painful, just a little itchy.”
Indeed. Many people paused, realizing she had a point. Her face was already in a bad state, so even if it worsened slightly, it wouldn’t make much difference. It was better to wait and see the results after the treatment.
The reporter stepped back, not having convinced her, but not in a hurry. Just wait a little longer. Once the mask was removed and her face was revealed, everything would be settled.
And half an hour later, Isabella Turner, a bit nervous, said, “Alright, you can slowly remove it now.”
“Really?” The girl was also nervous. But under everyone’s gaze, she gently peeled off the mask from her face. And when it came off, everyone froze because her face was the same, looking even uglier and darker.
“My face!”
The girl screamed upon seeing her own reflection in the mirror. It was really worse. This scene brought smiles to many people’s faces, smug smiles. Even Gavin couldn’t help but laugh, feeling a bit victorious.
However, at that moment, someone exclaimed, “Look, her face, her face.”
A girl pointed out, drawing everyone’s attention. As everyone turned to look, they saw cracks slowly appearing on the girl who had undergone the experiment earlier, terrifying both herself and those around her, thinking something bad was about to happen.
But in the next moment, those cracks burst open, and dirty-looking substances fell off her face. What was revealed next shocked everyone: a smooth, flawless, elastic, blemish-free face without pimples, acne, swelling, or any dirt. It was mesmerizing.
“Oh my god!”
Gasps filled the air. Even the girl was stunned, touching her face and feeling the smoothness. It was like her childhood skin.
When she looked in the mirror, she said, “My… my face… it’s better…” Tears welled up in her eyes. She cried, truly cried. She was once a young girl in her prime, but these imperfections on her face had cast a shadow over her.
She was too ashamed to even date or face people, feeling so insecure, thinking her life would always be like this.
But!
But, it was better now!
Better! A feeling of gratitude overwhelmed her, and she walked up to Isabella Turner, bowing deeply, “I’m sorry for being disrespectful earlier, offending you, I’m truly sorry…”
Isabella Turner hurried to help her up. And after she was settled, the girl stood in front of the camera, loudly saying, “Actually, today’s incident wasn’t caused by us using their cosmetics and ending up like this. It was all arranged by Monse Group, who hired us to tarnish Isabella’s company. We were all paid to come here and ruin the company. But, Isabella’s company cured the problems on my face that had plagued me for years, so I confess, it’s all my fault.”
“However, Isabella’s cosmetics, you deserve to have them, you should also see that the issues on my face earlier were long-standing and couldn’t be cured no matter where I went or what I tried. So, I am very grateful to Isabella’s company. I apologize for my previous actions, I’m sorry.”
She apologized sincerely in front of the camera. And as she spoke, the other girls came forward, admitting, “Yes, we were all paid to slander Isabella’s company, it was our mistake.”
“Chairman Turner, please give us another chance.”
“Chairman Turner, please help us treat our faces.”
Many girls pleaded one after another.
They stood up at this moment to appeal to Isabella Turner, because they had caused such a commotion earlier that if they didn’t come forward now to support her, if Isabella Turner didn’t help them treat their faces later, what would they do?
“Alright, alright, I’ll treat all of you.” Isabella Turner waved her hand, repeatedly saying.
Watching this scene unfold in the office, Gavin was left speechless, his mouth agape. Beside him, one of his subordinates anxiously said, “Boss, because of this livestream, too many people have seen it, and our Monse Group’s stock is plummeting, while Isabella’s company’s stock is skyrocketing.”
