Ch. 791..800

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 791

Damian's assistant nodded in response and went to work.

Damian continued standing outside the meeting room, afraid to enter.

When he had finally calmed down, he entered the space while maintaining a natural demeanor.

"Well, I have nothing more to say for today's meeting.Do you have any questions? Otherwise, let's adjourn."

The project was important to him, and he could not mess it up now.

Therefore, it was best to call off the meeting first.

Everyone in the room was taken aback as soon as he said that.

They were clearly at the peak of their discussion, yet the meeting was called off.

"Damian-"

Joseph quickly corrected himself, "Mr.Damian, why are you adjourning the meeting before you're done with your discussion? Why don't you introduce the new perfume to us? The perfume sold out so fast that none of us got the chance to see it, am I right?"

Joseph continued with a smile.

"I brought two bottles here today.Why don't we give it a try?"

He then retrieved two perfume bottles and set them on the table.

Just as someone reached out to grab it, Damian quickly yelled, "Don't!"

The sudden reaction surprised everyone, and the person who had stretched his hand out quickly retracted it.

"Damian, what are you doing?!" Joseph frowned unhappily.

‘This boy is acting strange.Not only was he late today, but he also reeked of alcohol, and now, he's acting out"

"N-Nothing! I'm sure everyone's tired from this morning's meeting.Why don't we take a break? I'm taking your suggestions into account.You're right that we shouldn't rush this.I'll consider this carefully before updating you all at the next meeting."

"It's fine."

One of the shareholders with a phone in his hand raised his head and said, "Just explain it to us now."

Hearing that voice, everyone turned to look at him.

The person who spoke was Donovan Elm, the company's executive vice president.It was not an exaggeration to call him a veteran.He was Derrick's first and only right-hand man.He had been in this company for more than 30 years, and even Joseph respected him.

Therefore, Joseph was startled when he realized that Donovan had spoken up.

His tone was unpleasant, but Joseph did not dare to contradict it.

The only thing he could do was cautiously ask, "Mr.Elm, what are you talking about?"

"That's my question for Mr.Damian."

With a tap of his finger, Donovan projected the content of his phone onto the big screen.Now, the whole meeting room could see what was on his phone.It was a news page that contained a detailed interview with Naomi titled, "Tanner Corporation's first-ever perfume— a revolution, or pure poison?"

The article was well written.

Everyone could see at a glance how the ingredients used in the perfume were prohibited, which led to the model they hired being hospitalized due to an allergic reaction to the perfume.

At this moment, Damian's face was ashen.He did not expect this matter to spread so fast, and now there was no way of suppressing it.

"Please, explain yourself."

Donovan crossed his arms and looked at him calmly.

Damian was in shock! He stared at the projector wide-eyed, carefully reading each line, trying to find a flaw in it.

Apart from Naomi's cries and pictures of how her face swelled up from the allergens, there were all sorts of questions in the article.

They questioned whether the perfume had passed the safety test, whether it was an FDA-approved product, and whether prohibited ingredients were used in the production.

They also began to question whether the board of directors was aware of these.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 792

Damian stood there with his feet numb, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.He was at a loss for words.

"Damian, what's going on? These are slanders, aren't they?"

Joseph was the first to come back to his senses and ask.

Hearing that, Damian quickly nodded.

"Yes, it's slander! There's nothing wrong with our perfume.Naomi called and said that she was hospitalized because of her allergies yesterday, but she did not mention it being from the perfume.In spite of this, the reports present a different picture.She must’ve planned this to frame me!"

"Oh? Why would she frame you? Did something happen between you two?" Donovan questioned.

Damian did not know how to answer.

There was indeed no enmity between them.

After a moment of thought, he replied, "Maybe she's trying to blackmail us for the money."

"Then, why didn't she reach out to you instead of going straight to the reporters? Also, it’s said that you were the one who sent the media over."

Donovan's gaze was sharp as he questioned Damian.This made Damian a little nervous.

"I sent her a few gifts to show my concerns, so I decided to hire some reporters to take some photos to showcase our company's benevolence and concern toward our employees.Who would've thought that she would take advantage of this and bite back? Mr.Elm, you can't single me out like this.I'm also a victim here!"

"Single you out?" Donovan sneered.

Then he turned to Joseph.

"Mr.Joseph, do you think I'm singling Mr.Damian out?"

In the face of such a question, Joseph shivered and shook his head.

"No! Of course not! You've always been objective and fair, so why would you do that? Mr.Damian, the more important task at hand isn't whether she framed you or not, but restoring the company’s reputation and minimizing losses."

He tapped his fingers on the table in a weak attempt to get everyone's attention away from him.

"I've already dispatched someone to try to stop this from spreading.Then, they'll question Naomi to determine her true motivations for all of this,"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмDamian quickly replied.

"This is your solution?"

Donovan looked at him with his eyebrows raised.His disdain was visible on his face and tone.

"I..."

Joseph's back was starting to get damp with sweat.

Despite the fact that he was quite disappointed with his son's performance today, he was the one who paved the way for Damian.

Who knew that this hiccup would prove to be so significant? Joseph realized it would be hard to solve this problem now that Donovan was paying attention to it and looking for more information.

"I did not expect this to happen.For me to come up with such an idea is already an amazing thing.However, if you have any other solution, let's discuss it.After all, this is for the benefit of our company."

At this point, Damian knew that he could no longer control the events and instead decided to be upfront.He felt everyone should help find a solution because it was in the best interest of the company.

Tanner Corporation did not belong to him alone, so the only thing they could do was put their heads together and come up with a solution.

Damian was confident they would come up with at least one proper solution in the face of such a situation.

Therefore, he plopped back down on his seat.His nerves and anxiety seemed to have settled down by now.He was just keen on watching a good show.

Donovan shot a glance at Damian before his eyes scanned across the room.

Then, once he saw Arianna, he asked, ''Ms.Tanner, do you have any comments on this?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 793

Arianna had been exceptionally quiet throughout the meeting, barely saying a word, to the point where people almost forgot she was there.

Once Donovan called her out, everyone turned to look at her.

However, Damian was still calm about it as he stood there with a smug smile.

Although everything was a mess now, he felt it was not his fault.Donovan's accusing attitude upset Damian.

'Who does he think he is to question me like that?"

"Mr.Elm, everything happened so suddenly.I do feel like it's premeditated."

After thinking about it, Arianna continued, "I think this woman is quite suspicious as well."

"Exactly! There's something fishy about this woman! She's trying to frame the company and me on purpose!"

Damian interrupted, "Maybe La Beauté Group sent her.I'll go look into her at once!"

Donovan shot him a look, and Damian immediately lost his arrogance.

Although he was dissatisfied, he knew he was not the president of Tanner Corporation yet.

Therefore, he was not qualified or powerful enough to contend with the old-timers.

"We must look into this.However, I think the most important thing to do right now is to have a self-inspection," Arianna said.

"Self-inspection?"

For a moment, Damian did not understand what she meant.

Even Joseph was a little confused.

"Ari, what do you mean?"

"We should inspect ourselves to see if there are prohibited ingredients in the perfume and if it triggers an allergic reaction before the media comes for us.If nothing is wrong, we'd be confident enough not to live in fear when they come and check on us.By then, we must follow through with their procedures and get this over with."

Hearing this, most people in the room agreed.

In the face of criticism and attacks from others, one must first check themselves.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмIt was only through confidence they could be fearless.

Donovan also nodded thoughtfully.

However, Joseph did not seem to think the same.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with our perfume! How could our own people try to sabotage us? Furthermore, if we conduct a self-inspection, wouldn't that mean we are aware of the problem? What if someone uses it against us?"

"Yeah, I'm sure there's no problem with our perfume.I've been there throughout the entire production period, and there's absolutely nothing wrong!" Damian defended hurriedly.

He was in charge of this project, and he was the one that hired the perfumer.He supervised the production the whole time, even hiring the model himself.

If something was wrong with the perfume, wouldn't that mean he was the problem? Even if he was not the problem, it was due to his negligence in supervision that allowed such a thing to happen.

"I think..."

Arianna turned to the projector and said, "I'm not sure if you guys noticed this piece of paper here.It's the test report from the hospital.Although it stated that Naomi is allergic to our perfume, it did not clearly state that it contains prohibited ingredients.

"However, it is said that the hospital will send it for further identification.If we genuinely want to fight back and protect our name, we should devise a favorable assessment report before the hospital's results come out."

Her idea immediately won the approval of most people.

Donovan nodded.

"I agree!"

"Me too! “

"I agree as well!"

The crowd’s echoes flustered Damian, and he quickly turned to look at Joseph for help.

"Dad..."

In this situation, it was difficult for Joseph to stand by his son's side blindly, so he could only nod and agree.

"Count me in!"

"Ms.Tanner, would you be okay if we leave you in charge of this?" Donovan looked at her and asked.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 794

Arianna nodded.

"Of course!"

Just like that, the meeting ended.

Damian never expected the highlight of his life to end like this.

Not only was he pained, but he also did not know what to do next.

"Arianna Tanner, what are you trying to do here?!"

He could not hold himself back and rushed to grab her arm.

"Mr.Damian, what are you doing?"

Arianna did not bother to break free from his grip.

Instead, she frowned and looked at him."You're hurting me."

Turning a deaf ear to her words, Damian became more aggressive.

"Is this part of your plan?! You're trying to frame me, aren't you?! Why did you suggest inspecting our perfume?! Are you trying to say there's something wrong with my perfume?!"

His voice boomed.

Since there were still people around the lounge area, it attracted many people’s attention as they gathered around.

However, the duo was their two bosses, so no one dared to speak up.

Everyone just stood and watched quietly.

"Mr.Damian, I need you to calm down.We should all work on trying to solve this problem.It's useless for you to yell at me like this," иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмArianna replied calmly, "Let me go."

"No! Tell me the truth right now!"

"What truth? This is an unexpected situation for all of us.If you think I'm trying to sabotage you, you can solve it yourself."

With that, she dumped everything in her hands into Damian's arms.

These were all the documents that the public relations department gave her since she was entirely responsible for solving this crisis.

Now, she dumped it all to Damian, who almost did not catch them.

"Did I cause this to happen? You're the only one in charge of the perfume project.Now that something has happened, I have to help you clean up your mess.Yet, you're here, pointing your finger at me.Since you're so capable, solve it yourself!"

Arianna shrugged him off and left.

Damian stood there, stunned.He watched her walk away for a moment before he came to his senses.

"I didn't mean it that way! It's just that when you suggested we do a self-inspection, wouldn't that mean that you suspect there's something wrong with my perfume?"

"Is there any use if I said the perfume is fine?"

After going toward the elevator and pressing the button, Arianna crossed her arms as rage pulsed through her.

"Even if I tell the media and consumers that our perfume is fine, a supermodel slandered us.Which side do you think the people will believe?"

At this point, Damian did not know what to say.

"The only thing that can give us an upper hand is to have evidence! Without evidence, no one will listen to you.Do you know how big of a scandal it was when La Beauté Group’s perfumed was rumored to be poisonous? A big company like La Beauté Group could barely even handle it.How can we, who just stepped foot into his field, solve this?"

This entirely shut Damian down, and he was humbled.

"Then..."

"Then, what? Get the factory to pack and send all the remaining perfumes to us, and we'll send them for testing.We need to be fast! " Arianna ordered.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 795

Although Damian was reluctant, he had to admit Arianna was more experienced than him in dealing with crises.

When the elevator door opened, Nathaniel was standing there.

The three of them exchanged looks, and just as Damian was about to speak, he heard Arianna say, "Come with me!"

She called Nathaniel into her office and closed the door.

However, as Arianna did not draw the curtains, everyone could see that she was talking with a solemn expression, presumably about the perfume crisis.

Damian continued to pace around outside.His mind was in chaos.

After much deliberation, he still thought that woman was the root of all these problems.He even wondered if Naomi had taken money from someone else and tried to frame him.

After thinking about this a bit more, he stomped away.

Although Arianna seemed occupied talking to Nathaniel in her office, she fixed her eyes on Damian, who was outside.

When she saw him leave in a hurry, she dropped the act and signaled with her eyes that Damian had left.

"Where do you think that idi*t is going?" Nathaniel asked casually.

"Where else can he go? With that brain of his, there are not many places he'd think of," Arianna snorted disdainfully.

"It's your turn to make a move next.Is there anything wrong with the perfumer at your end?"

"Of course not. Everything is under control."

Clenching his fists, he continued smilingly, "We're so close to our victory.Once this is all over, you'll soon be President Arianna."

"All right, I'm not that naive and know my place.This isn't over.Don't forget I still have a very capable uncle."

Arianna’s eyes turned sinister at the mention of Derrick.

As long as he was still around, she would always feel uneasy.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмIt was like a ticking time bomb.

"Isn't that uncle of yours sick and unable to do anything?" Nathaniel asked nonchalantly.

"With his current situation, I don't think he'll last long.By the way, isn't his son out of reach?"

"What are you trying to say?" Arianna frowned, looking at Nathaniel.

"Do you think your aunt will share such news with your uncle?"

He smiled sinisterly.

There were hidden meanings behind his words.

Arianna immediately understood what he meant.

"So, what you're trying to say is..."

"For an old man to attend his son's funeral would be a big blow to him."

"I guess so, but there isn't a definite answer on whether or not Benedict is still alive."

"Don't you think that having no news is news too? It's up to the people around him to decide what to make of it."

The wide grin on Nathaniel's face made Arianna frown.

"I never realized how evil you are."

"Evil? Maybe it's because you're too kind, my dear sister."

Nathaniel grinned and continued casually, "Don't forget, we're both born to the same mother."

"Shut up!"

Arianna’s frown deepened.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me that when we're in the company building? Are you trying to get us caught?"

"Okay, okay.My bad.I won't repeat it."

He raised his hands in surrender.

After that, he turned around and said, "I'll head over to the perfumer to get things sorted out.Then we'll just sit back and watch the show unfold."

Upon saying that, Nathaniel opened the door and left.

Only then did Arianna finally relax and plopped herself down on the chair.She looked at the pile of documents in front of her as Nathaniel's words echoed in her ears.

"For an old man to attend his son's funeral would be a big blow to him...It's up to the people around him to decide what to make of it.”

Lily brought some fruits and a thermos of hot porridge to the hospital for Olivia's visit.

After she had resigned and worked with Lily at the studio, Olivia had not been eating properly.

When Lily got the call informing her that Olivia was in the hospital, she was shocked.

Lily was relieved to learn from Edward that it was only a minor stomach ulcer, and she quickly brought some porridge and fruit over early in the morning.

"Where is the person who'd always make me eat? You're something else.How could you forget to eat?!"

Lily kept muttering as she poured the porridge into a small bowl.

"Your stomach is very sensitive now, and you should only eat food that is easy to digest.Now, no matter how much you crave them, you can't eat all that delicious food you like anymore."

Then she sat on the edge of the bed and blew on the spoon as she glanced at Olivia, who was still laughing.

Lily genuinely did not know what to do with this woman.

"How dare you laugh still?"

"What a privilege to hear you nag,"Olivia said sweetly.

She was moved by how concerned Lily was.She sounded a little off on the phone last night, and that clumsy man rushed over to her in the middle of the night.

There, he noticed that she was suffering from a stomachache and quickly sent her to the hospital.He even stayed up all night to take care of her, and before he left, he bought her breakfast.

This thoughtfulness truly warmed Olivia's heart.

"You're sick! This is self-injury!" Lily rolled her eyes before bringing the spoon closer to Olivia.

"Open your mouth!"

Olivia obediently opened her mouth and ate a mouthful of porridge.

Then, she grinned and said, "You're right; I am sick Otherwise, why would I be here?"

"Wow, you still have a lot of wits, don't you? If you don't eat properly in the future, I'll-""

Before she could finish her sentences, chaos was heard from outside, accompanied by a pitter- patter of footsteps.

Since the door to the ward wasn't shut, they could see the group of people running by with cameras and microphones.

They appeared to be a group of reporters.

"Reporters?!"

Lily was a little surprised.

"No way!"

Olivia subconsciously shrank back into her comforter, a little startled.

"It's just a stomachache.It won't alarm the media.I'm not that popular!"

After a pause, she looked at Lily and asked, "Lily, could it be for you?"

This was probably the case because no one besides Lily would have enough appeal to warrant sending in a news crew.

However, Lily shook her head.

"I don't think so."

If they were coming for her, they would already know which ward and floor she was on.Therefore, for them to hurry past the door like that was obviously for someone else.

"Who else could it be for?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмOlivia asked curiously.

She was currently staying in the VIP ward, and it was something that not many people could afford.

Although she did not know what Edward did, she only found out the price after she had stayed the night.She was dumbfounded, but she could only obediently stay there since it was already paid for.

This was the VIP floor.There were few rooms, and she had no idea if the others were even occupied.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 797

"That's none of our business,"Lily said before closing the door.

Then she sat back down and continued feeding Olivia the porridge.

This industry was chaotic.

The reporters weren't there for any of them, so it was best not to poke their noses into it.

After eating two bowls of porridge, taking a break, and munching on a banana, Olivia thought she heard footsteps outside.She guessed that the reporters must have left and felt more at ease.

"You should rest well these couple of days.There's nothing much in the studio right now, so you don't have to worry.Once you're out, you can continue to rest at home if you like," Lily said.

"Don't you have a new series of themes to come up with? Can you do it on your own?"

Olivia knew of Lisa's request, so she was eager to ensure everything was going well.

After all, this was the first big project that the studio had, and it was a big stepping stone for them.

"I have yet to decide on a theme, but I have a rough idea.Give me time to think about it.We'll work on it together once you've settled down and hopefully feel better.I'll leave you with a few tasks, so don't worry! Lily said with a smile.She had already reached out to Lisa's team, but she had yet to get a reply.Although follow-ups were inevitable, she had to be cautious.Someone might take advantage of one wrong move and try to bring her down.

In the past, Lily did not think so carefully.

It was also through experience and countless turmoil that she finally learned her lesson.She was lucky to have come out alive and always had someone to lean on.

"You crazy b*tch..."

The ward's door was suddenly kicked open, and an angry young man stood at the doorway, startling the two women inside.

When he finally saw who was inside, the three of them looked at each other in shock.They didn't know each other at all.

"F*ck, I got the wrong room!"

Just like that, he turned and left.

"Why is that man so rude?"

Olivia was stunned.

Not only did he scare them to death because of his mistake, but he left without apologizing!

"Maybe he's looking for his nemesis,"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмLily said half-jokingly.

She was puzzled when she got up to close the door again.

That man's face looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.She stood at the door and looked down the corridor as she closed it.

The man strode to the room at the end of the corridor.

This time, although he didn't kick open the door, he swung it open.

It seemed like he was finally in the correct ward.

Immediately after, there were screams heard from the ward.

The voices were loud enough for her to pick up words like "slandered" and "framed."

Although Lily strained her ears to try to listen in, she could not make sense of what was going on.

Lily quickly retracted her head when she heard movement at the other end of the corridor.She closed the door and hid behind it, peeking out from the door's crack.

Then she saw the group of reporters from earlier rushing toward that ward, It was as if something significant were happening, and if they were any slower, they might miss it.

Fortunately, Lily managed to retreat into the ward quickly.

Otherwise, the reporters would have bumped into her.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 798

"Lily, what's going on?"

Olivia tilted her head and asked.She observed Lily getting up to close the door, but she didn't return for quite some time, and then, it was only partially closed.

"Shush!" Lily gestured.

"I'm watching a show."

Olivia was speechless! Wasn't Lily the one who said not to meddle in other people's business? Olivia did not know why Lily was interested until, amidst the yelling, Lily suddenly remembered who that man was.

That man that barged in was Joseph Tanner's illegitimate son, Damian.The fact that Lily had heard of him was also purely coincidental.

Jenny had told her at the time that Nathaniel had taken a job with Tanner Corporation and proposed that they go into the perfume business.He even opened up a new department to develop perfume, with him being the person in charge.

Lily had no idea when he became the project manager of Tanner Corporation or how he became involved with them.

However, Jenny warned Lily that their complicated relationship could lead him to pull some tricks on her.

With that in mind, Jenny felt that his proposal to start a perfume department at Tanner Corporation was a shot at Lily.

At that time, Lily didn't think much about it and just smiled.She had never regarded anyone as her rival in making perfumes.She had entered the business purely out of love, which allowed her to persevere until today.

However, an interesting thing happened.

Not long after the perfume project was launched, there was a change in the person in charge.

Now, Damian was the one who led the project.It was common knowledge that Joseph was doing this to advance his illegitimate son's career.

Joseph was creating opportunities for Damian, and Nathaniel was the sacrificial lamb.

Lily no longer cared about Nathaniel's affairs, so she did not find out what happened afterward.He was a victim of a power struggle.

Given his nature, he probably found it challenging to make concessions and put up with that.

The two rooms were pretty close to each other.

Seeing that the door was ajar, coupled with the fact that this floor was relatively empty, Lily just had to focus to eavesdrop on what was happening.

This was a skill she had picked up by learning kickboxing.She could hear everything if she concentrated hard enough.

In Naomi's ward, she was lying on the hospital bed with tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful.

Coupled with her reddened eyes and how she did not say a word in the face of Damian's accusation, it gave off the impression that she had indeed been wronged.

The rash on her face was still there, so she did not look very presentable.

Compared to how she looked on stage, her current state provoked even more sympathy from people who saw her.

"Naomi Schiffer, who paid you to slander the Tanner family like this? I don't think I've mistreated you, from contacting you to settling your payment.Why are you doing this, and who paid you?"

To Damian, Naomi was the crux of all the problems.

As long as she admitted that it was an act of defamation, all of the issues would be resolved.

"Say something! Do you think I'd buy into your tears?!"

He growled, "Who paid you? Is it someone I know? Is he trying to besmirch my company?!"

"Mr.Tanner, Ms.Schiffer is still recovering from her allergies.Don't you think it's too much to interrogate her like this?"

A reporter, who also happened to be Naomi's fan, could not stand it any longer and stepped in.

"She's trying to slander me! Do you understand what that means? Who will compensate my company while she recuperates?" Damian yelled as his head whipped around to her.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 799

"So, Mr.Tanner, you seem to prioritize your company's loss over Ms.Schiffer's well-being, am I right?"

Another reporter immediately stepped in and questioned.

Damian was no fool and immediately picked up on the trick question.

"Of course, I care about Ms.Schiffer, but before there’s any conclusive evidence, it's wrong for her to say something is wrong with our perfume.We consider it slander and have the right to pursue it!"

"The hospital has already issued a test report confirming that your company's perfume triggered Ms.Schiffer's allergic reaction.There is no doubt about that.Why are you still trying to argue? What other evidence do you need?"

"Mr.Tanner, did you come here to pressure Ms.Schiffer into changing her statement?"

"Are you here to suppress this matter because your company cannot prove its innocence?"

"If it triggered Ms.Schiffer's allergic reaction, other consumers must also be experiencing it.What's more, my sources say your perfume contains prohibited ingredients that aren't supposed to be on the market.How did you pass the safety test? Do you have an insider in the inspection team?"

"Consumers have the right to know all these, and it's not something you can cover up by screaming about defamation.If you think she's slandering you, why don't you sue her?"

These reporters seemed to have come prepared, pushing Damian into a corner.

With so many questions directed at him alongside his lack of experience in such situations, he was rendered speechless to the point that he could not even utter a single word.

"Y-You..."

"Mr.Tanner, what more do you have to say? Are you going to say that we're slandering you as well?"

Damian's fear of provoking public anger bewildered him.

Only then did he realize the mistake he had made.He finally understood why people at the company wanted to stop him from coming over.

Although he directed all his anger toward Naomi, who curled up in the hospital bed, he could not do or say anything recklessly with the reporters around.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and glared at her before bitterly saying, "Good on you, Naomi! Our company will not just let this slide.We'll fight with you legally until the very end!"

After saying that, he turned around, squeezed through the crowd, and left.

However, the reporters did not chase after him.

Instead, they all turned their cameras toward Naomi, who immediately covered her face and wept.

"Ms.Schiffer, do you have anything to say in the face of such a threat?"

"I have no comments.I only know I'm very uncomfortable right now, and I have no idea if this will continue to affect me in the future.I don't like pushing back on work I have nothing to say.I just want to rest right now."

Naomi shook her head and burst into tears.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHer misery made everyone pity her.

"Don't worry, Ms.Schiffer! We will seek justice for you!"

"Everyone here is on your side, Ms.Schiffer.We've seen your allergies.We won't let unscrupulous companies escape any legal punishments!"

"Yes, that company is unscrupulous!"

With just a sentence, the crowd was infuriated as they all empathized with Naomi.

Naomi pulled up the comforter and sobbed.

"Thank you, everyone.I'm getting a little tired now."

"We should leave and let Ms.Schiffer rest.We wish you a speedy recovery."

After that, the reporters left.

They had everything they needed and more.

Now, they just had to go back and edit the clips in preparation for their new posts.

The story this time was sensational, and it was as big a deal as Lily's poisonous perfume or even more prominent.

In Lily's case, it was just an audio recording, and there was no solid proof.

In addition, La Beauté Group had a solid background with an excellent public relations team.

Although the news story did not take long to spread, the PR team quickly suppressed it.

Then once the press conference concluded, it gave them a clean slate and put the company in a positive light.

Immediately after, some said La Beauté Group's perfumes are good for one's health and could even cure diseases.

They were miracle products.

Later, what was even more interesting was that Lily resigned from La Beauté Group.

Everyone assumed she was going to lay back and enjoy being a trophy wife, but she later revealed she had opened her own studio and was looking into creating her own brand.

That woman was truly unimaginable.

However, things were different for Tanner Corporation.

It was their first attempt to break into the perfume industry with their first product.

Before the launch, the company did all sorts of gimmicks, and it garnered an overwhelming amount of publicity.

Then the product sold out almost immediately as soon as it went on the market.

It had only been less than two days since the product had been in the limelight, but the company was already in hot water.

This time, it was not just an audio recording or a blurry video.

The reporters had witnesses and physical evidence.

The media had no idea how the Tanner Corporation would get out of this.

Naomi was in the hospital and had enough publicity and influence as a supermodel without pulling such a stunt.

There was also a physical report from the hospital, so there was no way it would be a fake.

The story would be even more interesting if this were indeed a hoax.

Who could collude with the hospital to produce such a report just to slander Tanner Corporation? Therefore, no matter how the story went, it was an attention- grabbing article.

All the reporters were excited as they tried to dig deeper into the subject.

They hoped to find more information.

Lily watched the crowd disperse before closing the door behind her and sighing.

Olivia noticed Lily's strange expression and tilted her head to ask, "Do you know them?"

"Not really."

Lily only knew who Damian was, but she had never interacted with him.However, he reminded her of Arianna and their unpleasant past.

"I think there's a supermodel in the room next door.The reporters have been in and out of here over the past two days," Olivia explained.

She had no idea who was in the ward next to hers, nor was she interested.

"How lively!" Lily laughed.

"Make sure you get enough rest and don't move around too much.You need to watch what you eat and avoid spicy food.Just because you feel fine doesn't mean you can be reckless with your food intake, okay?"

"I know! How do you—"

Her face flushed red before even finishing her sentence.

"How do I, what?"

Lily teased.

When she noticed how red Olivia was getting, Lily quickly guessed that Olivia's relationship with Edward wasn't as simple as she thought.

"Look at you! How can you not tell me after all this time?"

Lily pinched Olivia's cheek and continued, "Take care of yourself.I'm going to leave.I'll visit you again when I'm free."

"You don't have to keep coming here.The doctor will discharge me in two days.Plus, I'm fine!"

Olivia did not want to bother Lily and hastily explained her situation.

"Hm, I guess I'm not that important when there's a guy in your life."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмLily snorted jokingly.

"That's not—"

Just as Olivia was about to explain herself, Lily chuckled and interrupted, "All right, I was just teasing you.I know.However, I really do have to go.Are you okay here alone?"

"Yeah." Olivia nodded.
