"Someone like Jennifer should be grateful for a well-functioning legal system—otherwise, she wouldn't still be alive. But don't you worry, I won't let her die," Daniel said with a cold chuckle.
Charlene breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Since Daniel had already said that, then he must have a way to save Jennifer. As for when he would do that…
Charlene couldn't help but glance out of the car window.
As the conflict between the two sides escalated, the hashtag #YouthifyCreamSideEffects began trending online. With more and more people speaking out, public opinion quickly shifted. Even someone as oblivious as Jennifer could tell that things had taken a turn for the worse for her company.
"How could this happen?" Jennifer's eyes widened in disbelief as she scrolled through the photos and videos posted online.
If it had just been the crowd outside causing trouble, she might have suspected that Daniel and Charlene had hired people to stir up trouble. But with so many cases popping up online, there was no way this could be Daniel's doing.
Could there really be something wrong with youthify cream? The thought made Jennifer's chest tighten.
"No! That's absolutely impossible!" Jennifer shook her head vigorously. "Get the technical director in here!"
Jennifer knew the technical director, Merlin Cowan, would have the answer since he had been sent over by Hibari Corporation. But to her dismay, her assistant quickly returned alone.
"Ms. Walsh, Mr. Cowan didn't come to work today due to some personal matter. And I just confirmed with the technical department—all personnel from Hibari Corporation have returned to their headquarters since the product launch."
"What? Why didn't anyone inform me of something so important?" Jennifer's eyes bulged in anger as she slammed her hand on the table.
At that moment, panic was setting in.
