“Yes, Ms. Sue. I’ll do as you said.” Naomi hung up the phone.
“Don’t worry. The anti-blemish cream I reformulated will be fine,” Skylar said, sensing Yulia’s worries.
Yulia smiled. “I’m not worried about the inspection. I have faith in our product. It’s about the press
conference. Our strategy is to draw the crowd in to boast the sale, but this could be a double-edged
sword. When it is executed well, not only will it clear our name, but it will also bring in more customers
than conventional advertising. However, it could also get out of our hands easily…”
A warm hand held Yulia’s hand before she could finish her words.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be with you,” said Skylar softly.
Yulia immediately felt calmer.

school.
Skylar wanted to check on the anti-blemish cream products. However, he did not expect to see a large
crowd of reporters and bystanders before he reached the entrance of the building.
It seemed like someone leaked the news about the anti-blemish cream and had caused some rumors.
Yulia also did not expect the speed of the internet to spread the news. The reporter came unannounced
before the press conference.
Yulia had no time to find the culprit who spread the rumor on the internet. She quickly explained the
effect of the anti-blemish cream to the reporters and bystanders,
However, the reporters began to whisper after hearing Yulia’s speech.
“An anti-blemish cream that can remove deep scars? She was bluffing.”
“I wouldn’t put that into my article. A small company like Kareem fashion came out with a product that
none of those international companies could achieve after many years of research?”
“Exactly! It could be a scam. They probably want to get some money before they fold.”
“I think you’re right. I had to put this in my article to warn the readers!”
Everyone, including the bystanders, could not believe Kareem Fashion could produce such a miracle
product.
“Ms. Sue, there’s a rumor on the internet saying that the skincare products by Kareem Fashion contain
cancer-causing ingredients. We believe that the new anti-blemish cream also contains cancer-causing
ingredients.” A male reporter interrupted Yulia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“We also heard that victims were threatened with violence when asking for compensation. Can you
explain this?” The male reporter asked again before Yulia could respond.
“Also, you were suspected of having some immoral transaction with an officer. How much can we trust
your quality inspection certificate?”
All the questions made Yulia speechless. It was not because she did not know how to answer but
because these questions were unfounded and slanderous.
The reporters would twist her words no matter how she answered them, and the crowd would believe
them.
Yulia felt so helpless, just like when she was confronted by the cancer patients last time.
“Yulia!”
Then, she heard a familiar voice. Skylar was walking through the crowd to her side.
