As expected, Miles Silverton and Anderson Sawyer’s faces lit up with impish glee as they caught the
look of fury on Skylar’s face. This was revenge for the time Skylar got in the way of their business.
They had robbed Kareem Fashion of all their efforts in developing the anti-blemish cream, and now
Skylar Stone and Yulia Sue could only stand by and watch as Kareem Fashion went bankrupt. It was a
great cause for celebration for Miles and Anderson!
“Lying, you say?” Miles quipped. “Mr. Stone, does the Silverton Corporation need to resort to lies
against a small company like yours? If you continue to defame Mr. Sawyer and myself, I’m afraid we’ll
have to pursue legal action.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar Stone ignored Miles’ threats. “That’s impossible!” he raised his suspicions loudly. “You must
have added some harmful ingredients into your anti-blemish cream to achieve that kind of result! What
sort of unethical business only cares about the results without any due concern for side effects?”
“Mr. Stone, did you hear what I just said? If you continue to slander us, get ready to be sent to jail!”
Miles threatened angrily once more.
“It’s not slander if it’s real,” Skylar inserted another jab on purpose. “I called the Department of Quality
Inspection. They’ll be arriving soon with their testing equipment, and then we’ll find out whose product
is inferior.”
Miles quickly looked at Anderson shiftily before replying disdainfully, “I was just about to give them a
call, but you beat me to it. I suppose I should thank you for helping to call them then!” He was initially
afraid that Skylar Stone would have another trick up his sleeve, but as it turned out, it was something
Anderson Sawyer had already prepared for yesterday. Skylar Stone was out of ideas, it seemed.
“Hmph, Silverton Corporation will take on any inspection that Kareem Fashion is subjected to! Didn’t
you livestream your inspection yesterday? Silverton will prepare a livestream event for the media and
all our customers too. We’ll show everyone our anti-blemish cream is the best!” Miles declared
confidently.
Anderson had assured him their formula was exactly the same as Kareem Fashion’s. If Kareem
Fashion could pass the inspection yesterday, so could they. Even if a customer suffered from any side

The media reporters seated below the stage began to look expectantly at Skylar Stone. Both
companies had launched their anti-blemish cream just a day apart, with strikingly similar features.
Anyone could tell that there was something fishy going on. It was likely that both companies were using
the same formula and ingredients, even if both parties had vehemently denied it. Such tactics were not
uncommon in business after all.
If it was indeed the same formula, Silverton Corporation would easily pass the inspection. If that were
the case, calling the inspection team would have been an unnecessary move on Skylar’s part. Perhaps
Skylar Stone had truly run out of maneuvers, the crowd thought.
All of a sudden, the sound of brisk, urgent footsteps from the doorway brought the chatter to a halt. As
the doors to the hall opened, a line of smartly dressed men and women marched in, almost army-like.
The contingent was led by the same man who had inspected Kareem Fashion yesterday – Mr. Russell
of the Department of Quality Inspection.
